Can we end the football season now and freeze the league as it is?

Id settle for the Arse finishing 2nd and Spuds bottom and relegated :D

Bolton fans booing Big Sam and their idiot chairman slagging him off only to get hammered was funny. West Ham fans booing their team at half time and walking out after 70 minutes also funny.

Liverpool looked good.

To be fair, the Fulham goalie played a blinder in that half and our football was mesmerising almost from start to finish. Hleb was unplayable in his new position and Eboue moving onto right wing looks another shrewd move by Arsene.

How the ref didn't give Hleb a pen is bizzare.

Any kind of striker there and Fulham are sneaking out the back door at half time in embarrasment but as it is its same old Arsenal at home.

Still, at least when we go behind we get to see some amazing football. :)

I was quite impressed with Fulham. I can't see them going down if they play like that, although they pressure finally told they had 3 good opertunitys to make it 2-0 in the second half. Lemon really is not good enough for Arsenal not only is he now error prone he's also got a big ego and full of arrogence. Arsenal should really buy a proper keeper before the transfer deadline.

Man Utd being held by Reading and playing rubbish (only 5 minutes left).

Manure drop 2 points on opening day. Papers will be writing them out of the title race tomorrow.

Mad Jens is a fantastic shot stopper and a great reflex keeper but he makes the most appalling decisions at times. I prefer Almoooooonya these days tbh.

Ref in the Mancs game was absolutely shocking.


Ironic that Shrek suffers a hairline fracture from a Donkey.

Our ref wasn't much better. Halloooooooooooo penalty.

Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez:

"I was disappointed by the way Arsenal's equaliser came - they had three claims for penalties and then their fourth appeal for a penalty was given."

I can see your point Lawrie, it must be harsh dodging three claims including one stonewall penalty only for the bastard to give the fourth.

Couple of super dives from Ronaldo today. Can't wait for Sanchez to go to OT. He'll be dragged out in a straight jacket.

Utd were awful yesterday, really disjointed. With Rooney now injured and Saha and Ole still out, they better hope Tevez fits in straight away. The Manchester derby next weekend is suddenly looking like a very interesting match!

Aye Janie, thought he was a bit mad selling Smith and Rossi.


Mind you, the barcodes are top of the league. They will be parading the trophy at their second game. An additional 23,000 XXXL shirts have just been made for the occasion. It's bigger than the Michael Owen signing.


The Jackie Milburn stand is being renamed "Top of the League 12th August 2007 stand" and you can buy laminated copies of the league table from their club shop.

Joking aside, they looked good and that was with an injury list longer than Chelseas. Given, Barton, Owen, Luque and a half dozen others.

Ironically Smith is playing in midfield for Newcastle and yet if he was still at Utd he'd probably be getting a run up front right now :p

Apparently not content with having three (including one blatant) penalty claims against his team turned down, Sanchez now thinks our players should have been booked for diving on those occasions.

No such thing as the ref making a mistake, being unsure or considering it a fair challenge, it was either a penalty or someone's a cheating coont.

Bloody genius, that man.

Of course the papers have jumped on an opportunity to slate one of the big four in favour of a plucky lesser team who obviously deserved to win so they could slate us some more :D

MOTD2 was also a marvellous spectacle:

Fulham player goes down in the box, commentator gets exited as it must be a penalty. Replay clearly shows Fulham player falling over his own feet so commentator says "It was more of a coming together than a foul"......err......no......he wasn't touched and tripped himself up.

Obviously Sanchez thinks that a was genuine penalty and his player shouldn't be booked for diving :p

Adrian Chiles then makes some comment to Shearer about us still winning when playing badly to which Shearer replies he didn't think we played badly. Might be worth watching the match next time, Mr. Chiles, before you comment on it. We weren't at our best but we certainly didn't play badly.
