The midweek/weekend games thread

[Dayo]

really need both teams to score in this one.

 

[Rossi22]

Great start by Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Only 5 points ahead of them if it stays like this ...

wouldn't mind them finishing above chelsea..

they do have a tough run in though.

 

[Spaceman]

chelsea for 6th place?

 

[Kingdawson]

who scored for Saudi Sportswashing Machine?

 

[NaijaSpurs]

chelsea for 6th place?

Oh yeah

 

[Rossi22]

Cisse and Ben Arfa.

i'd have some of that. just seen chelsea's remaining games and they've got a tough run in too. could easily happen.

still have to play at fulham, arsenal, and liverpool

I only read one tough game from those three mentioned....

 

[Rossi22]

All three are away.

 

[Kingdawson]

Cisse again.

 

[VolSpur]

Ben Arfa is really a smart player. Makes runs that open up opportunities for others. The more I watch him the more I think he'd be a good replacement for VDV

 

[DHSF]

They have been clinical Noocastle. sad face sad face sad face

When he first came up to the traInning ground in lyon, he was something like 14-15, and apparently he was dribbling all the pros and made them look stupid.

In terms of technical ability, hes up there with the best players. He just needs to concentrate on his football, settle down in a club and play.

 

[Rossi22]

We never seem to have games away from home like this.

 

[harr1984]

All three are away.

I know. Still would only put Arsenal game in the tough category - would still expect them to get something from the other two games, but I guess it depends what your definition of tough is - Fulham aren't an easy prospect at Craven Cottage but if you have aspirations of being top 4 you can't really have that as a game you'd be ok dropping points with and any game away in the PL is not a gimme. As for Liverpool, well they just aren't very good are they.

How many games away from home have we won by more than one goal this season?!

 

[charlietheyid]

West brom
Wolves
fulham

And Norwich

 

[Rossi22]

Only the Norwich game were we convincing though. Would love to see us just go somewhere and wipe the floor with a team, only recent-ish time I can remember was the 5-1 at Hull.

Just seen that Arsenal had two english players on the score sheet yesterday. First time since 1997, Ray Parlour and Ian wright against Barnsley...
