Fuuuck!!!! Dunno what to say. Thems the breaks I s'ppose.
anyway, yeah, pure bollocks from Mourinho in the post match. |
dortmund beats hannover 4-2 with great help from hannover's new brazilian defender fernando (?) (1 penalty, 1 own-goal).
bayern beats augsburg 2-1 with help from the ref who gifted them an unlikely elfmeter on minute 88. strange weekend. |
Good piece about Everton and Roberto Martinez
Quote:
Martinez's ridiculous levels of optimism can grate. However, it does make a change from Moyes' negativity (some of the things he said still sting). Swansea is a tipping point game I think. Win and the mood will continue to rise. Lose and a lot of people will write the rest of the season off with an average finishing place. |
Completely agree about teams like Everton never getting the credit when they beat the bigger teams. The same thing's happened to West Ham beating Arsenal and Liverpool. It's happening right now with us leading Man C. Listening to the commentators it's all about what's wrong with them, instead of saying how good we've been.
Anyway, half time, 2-1 up. Even if we lose we've been brilliant. If Payet carries on in his current form we're gonna have a helluva job keeping him in the summer. Back to the match, fingernails gone. EDIT: We held on (and it really was holding on). 2-1 it is. Rode our luck big time in the end but we beat Man City, at the Etihad. Fucking hell!!! Edit #2: Finally had enough of Costa. The guy's just a nasty piece of work, end of, and Mourinho's defence of him (while expected) is a disgrace. Mourinho's doing to Chelsea what he did to Real, making them hated, and I can seriously see Abramovich having enough of it, maybe not before the end of this season but I can seriously see Jose either walking or being sacked before the start of the next one. |
The French commentators stressed that Costa should have been expelled. Slap a defender, knock him down, and you usually get sent away. The referee's decision was very poor, to say the least.
I found Mourinho's talk so childish that it failed to make me more irate. He praised his team for being serene. This meant that Arsenal had not been. He surely can't think Costa was serene, can he? Has the World Wrestling Entertainment considered approaching Mourinho? West Ham and Everton have been really fluent. I'm surprised Norwich is currently so high in the table. I'm yet to see one of their games though. |

You never know Quote:
West Ham are very unpredictable. We're playing really well against teams we shouldn't have a chance against but seem to struggle against those we might more reasonably expect to beat, especially at home. We seem to function better as underdogs. Most importantly, though, win or lose, we're fun to watch again, which we never were with Allardyce, even when we won. So far I'm more than happy with what Bilic is doing. |
ONE SENTENCE SUMMING UPS
-Well done to West Ham! -What a prick Costa is, and the ref fucked up big time -Bayern win again, big whoop -I'm gonna bet my house that Newcastle go down. |
lol bayern played darmstadt which was just promoted-- try instead dortmund vs leverkusen which starts in an hour. that should be a mighty contest.

the dortmund bayer game was sweet
it started pretty tight but dortmund managed to squeek a 1-0 by halftime. then 2-0 by 60'. then i could have been 2-1 but instead went 3-0 on a penalty. dortmund keeps the lead on the table! mhuahahahahahaha. demonyo sez he misses the classic defender over the goal-scoring semi-midfileder modern defenders-- he should have seen sokratis vs. chicharito today . hilarious duel. |
Arsenal were apparently looking at Sokratis last year, not that Arsenal actually buys players. They just look at them.
And how's Hernandez doing at Leverkusen? Something about him, I really want him to do well. Quote:
So where did the draw leave things? Quote:
Newcastle, Sunderland and one other for me. Hopefully Villa. |
chicharito scored in the champions mid-week (his first @ leverkusen) but not today.
sokratis would NOT let him get even close. |
Shame the game's changed to the extent that defenders like that are now so overlooked. It happens here all the time. Not knocking John Stones, who I think is excellent, but it's telling how he's been elevated so much higher than guys like Ryan Shawcross, who may not be as good with the ball but is a better out and out defender IMO.

Lewandowski scored 5 in 9 minutes tonight. Quick whoop |

I'd never have guessed re. the wrestling game... Last season, WH were already more interesting than before (from a neutral point of view which almost lost its neutrality the moment Adrian, Cresswell, Kouyaté played...). |

Yeah never seen anything like that before, and against Wolfsburg. Hardly pushovers. |
Bloody hell. I honestly thought it'd be a while before I'd see a glut of goals so quick after Lewandowski.
|
Chelsea's sinking again.
Mourinho's being a great help for his players: he introduced Matic at the break, and now, we're 20 minutes from the end... he replaces him... Southampton leading 3-1 in London... |
