English Premier League 2008-09

747, Statistics are showing Titus B. has blocked more goalbound shots than any other defender in the Premiership this season. On saying that i was never a fan of his at the Toon, but i agree with Statto he was better than Collicini is now.

Statto, Boomsong ??????????????????

O.K Lads,I'll leave The Toon to you two.......But thinking about Titus I remember while he was at Wigan,playing against Everton he made a great back pass right to Andy Johnson,who promptly said " Thanks Titus Old Boy " and promptly planted the ball in the back of the Wigan net =D> =D> =D>

Wigan 1 - 0 Hull

At least that keeps them within range.

And the Mackams are down to 10 men against Manshi**y

And then he would concentrate for the other 89 mins and look like he would make a good defender.
He's got all the atributes, just can't stay focused for a full 90 mins, shame really, he just seems to "switch off" for a couple of mins, makes a howler, then starts to play again.

Starting to get worried ..... city have now missed a pen. (-2 for Robinho) with what they say was a worse effort than Martins try yesterday.

This has the makings of a typical 10 v 11 encounter, where City are going to do everything exept put the ball in the net

[Geordie]

Hey Statto can you remember when Titus scored for Ipswich & knocked the mackems oot of the cup a few moons ago.

[stattointhailand]

I think that's the only reason we bought him, as a big "THANK YOU"

[stattointhailand]

Liverpool ! up and City 1 up

[Geordie]

L/pool 3 up at half time.
Man City 1 S land 0 FT a good game to watch for the neuterals.

[stattointhailand]

Liverpool 5 - 0 Villa

[Geordie]

L pool 5 Villa 0 L/pool the team of the moment but the mancs still have the edge.

A good weekend just turned into a great one. I was hoping... Okay praying that Liverpool could capitalise on Man. U's slip to open things up again. Goals from Kuyt,Riera and a hat-trick from Gerrard disposed of Aston Villa 5-0.

Dear Mr. Septic Bladder can you cancel those internationals next week as it interferes with Liverpool's title run-in... :-" :-" :-"

[beer monkey]

Arbeloa... Robinho... , incredible 5-0 win, good game to watch.

[Zidane]

Who would have believed United would have lost the last two games so badly and had three players sent off in the process !
The last two seasons when they won the title they played an attractive passing game which set them aside from the other teams in the league.
This season its been dour stuff for the most part.Missing the influence of Queiroz....I know I've said it many times
United on the ropes a bit now.They will be glad for the International break to re-focus.Liverpool,on the other hand,will be disappointed as they are on a roll.
In two weeks it is Fulham v Liverpool and United v Villa.If Liverpool win and United dont I reckon the scousers will be favourites for the title.

If I was Sir Alex I would be on the phone to his best mate Rafa saying "Next season hows about swapping Gerrard & Torres for Ronaldo and John O'Shea ?"
Sorry,I guess that should be posted under Fantasy Football !

My Man. U fanatic teenage nephew says that in his emails... Another excellent victory, 13 goals in 3 games. No team has the monopoly on refereeing decisions. With all the excitement of the weekend didn't really look further down the table. Oops see the Toffees came unstuck...

Yeah ! Yeah ! Yeah !

Things not looking good for the Toon now.Some difficult fixtures coming up.Still lots of injuries and some of the players just not good enough.Also I dont think Hughton is up to the job at this level.Not his fault,just unfortunate that Kinnear got taken ill when we were in a reasonable position.
Potentially Boro,Toon and Mackems could all be relegated....what a blow for the NE that would be.
Tend to think West Brom will be down though.Hull could also come into the equation.Stoke City are one of the lower teams I think will escape.

And so does Stokiebaz,Arnold, I Hope you stay up, West Brom ( I think gone already ) & BORING Boro + Anyone from about 6 Could join them....

[Zidane]

Just trawling through the fixture dates up to the end of the season.....

Sunday,May 24th......last day of the Premiership season.
Wednesday,May 27th......UEFA Champions League Final in Rome.
Saturday,May 30th....FA Cup Final at Wembley.

Could be a pretty busy last 7 days for the likes of United,Liverpool,Chelsea and Arsenal.Its still possible for United to meet Chelsea in the Champions League and FA Cup finals although I think Chelsea will have to go some to be in contention for the Premiership on the last day of the season as well.

Statto & Geordie MUST BE happy now, Alan Shearer HAS Been appointed Manager of " The Toon " at least until the end of the season........HE Has 8 games to save them from THE BIG DROP !!!! Reported on BBC World News 11.00 ( Tuesday ) Must be TRUE.......BUT remember Chaps it IS April Fools Day......
