Football - The kind with round balls

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

We want a place to discuss football! Over in NZ we don't get that many games (around 5 Premiership games per weekend). I did manage to catch Arsenal vs. Everton. Quite a good game actually.

What Arsenal, IMO, lack is consistency. Looking at last season in particular, you couldn't have blamed many bookies for calling off bets for them winning the crown. Alas, they turn to cake.

Reminds me of the 96-97 season (IIRC). Liverpool were at very short odds to win the thing. All of a sudden, David James is kidnapped by vampires and develops a fear of crosses.

Manchester United have done it too, throwing away the title to Blackburn in the 94-95 season.

Strange, no?

In other news... keeping up with my beloved Reading has become somewhat of a Sunday regularity now. After last weeks shocking draw to Ipswich at the Road, I was ecstatic that they continued last seasons form by thumping Forest three zip at the Mad Stad.

Onwards to Automatic Promotion!

Went to the Millers-Cardiff game last satdy, and saw snippets of the Pompey-Villa game on the box.

fozzy, in all fairness we played well yesterday, we had 10 men for most of the game and everton seem to have turned quality lately (/waits for red4ever ), not our best performance ever maybe, but we did what we needed to do and got 3 points.

i was looking at division 3 as well and i noticed something, first and second are yeovil and doncaster, who got promoted last season. come on town!

I will agree that Everton have turned things around in the past two years, which is great considering the lack of star players they have in their squad. But I still stand by my point that Arsenal lack consistency, and to win the title this year, they will have to keep up the pace at the top of the table.

Division 3 football is highly amusing to watch. It's more like mud wrestling than football.

fozzy, yeah i was going to watch yeovil yesterday, but there were no matchday tickets available should really have checked that out first. two more goals for kevin gall, i'll bet rovers rue the day they let him go!

we'll have to wait and see with arsenal, if we show that much fight in all our games we're certainly in with a great chance, but it's early days.

anyway...

liverpool got off to a good start losing 2-1 at anfield to chelski, ouch. good to see city start strongly as well 3-0 at charlton.

btw what bets has everyone got (or is thinking of putting) on for this season? i've got my usual tenner on arsenal for the championship, i'm thinking about a fiver each way on man city (who've always won me money in the past) getting to the UEFA quater and semi finals. i might have a sly fiver on yeovil getting promoted for the second year running, it's 10-1 and if kevin gall keeps banging in the goals it might just happen.

Chelsea were OK for a team that obviously hasn't gelled yet.

Liverpool were dire. Houllier the first manager to go this year.

Villa to win next Sunday.
