BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Wigan 3-1 Overpaid Primadonnas

:tramp:

I do believe a piss-up is now on the cards...

They certainly deserved it. Dodgey decisions from the ref/refs all game. Wigan could easily have put away a few more goals though

Definitely. But still, it's not every day we beat a top 4 team. It's only taken 5 years of being in the Prem for us to do it anyway. As for Cech's red, that challenge was so late the ref must have instinctively booked Paul Ince as well.

But bloody hell, what a performance!

About time Chelsea have been punished for being shakey, i thought there'd be another late goal for them and they'd steal 3 points in the end again but it wasn't to be. Meanwhile Norwich managed to save a point as well so a pretty good afternoon!

Any chance of Ipswitch avoiding relegation? Even though it is early days, I have heard they have been really terrible.

My side, naturally :)

They were absolutely dreadful today. Steve Harper had virtually nothing to do all afternoon, it was way too easy for Newcastle.

I'll save any comments i have for when we see each other in league one :)

That doesn't sound good at all. ****e!

I can't believe what a pig's ear Keano's making out of that Ipswich job. I reckon his sacking's more or less a forgone conclusion now.

Thats if he doesnt walk out first.

Dwight Yorke has claimed in his book that when Keano walked out of the Sunderland job he texted him to say he was sorry for the way things worked out and the reply he got said simply "Go fuck yourself!"

He put a load of players on the transfer list after about 2 or 3 games, the guys as hotheaded a manager as he was a player.

Still, at least he hasn't taken it to the extremes of Mickey Adams

Hopefully there will be quite a few people join up... The more the merrier eh!

^^ I'll do this tomorrow if anyone else bothers.

May as well give it a go. I'll see if I can start on it when I've got a bit more time on my hands tomorrow.

Is it worth signing up then? Is anyone else on board?

Well, I'm gonna join both, so we may as well try and get it off the ground eh.

So, yeah, come one come all. Only 3 of us in this so far.

Alright, i joined.

Whats your team then Bulldog?

I've joined too, although I rushed my team as I was busy.

I'm Dyslexia Untied.

Good to see some people joining, spread the word. The more the better. I have a feeling my side are going to have a really ****e weekend sadly.

Can we not have a little spy and see what teams we all picked? I'm nosey like that.

Gordon Bennett AFC, featuring the talents of the world class manager Al B Wonderful :D

As for my team, I'll just say you can probably have a good guess who one of my strikers, goalies and defenders are.

Union Jacks are your lot then?

Yeah thats me.

I always choose my team the same way, which is by choosing the team i would pick if there were no limitations and then working backwards after ive gone about £100m over. I was just happy that i actually managed to retain 4 of the players i had from the very start.

Rodallega, Bramble?

I can't see anyones team yet. Mine is fairly straightforward, sneak peak:
Midfield: Kuyt, Wright-Phillips and Edwards(Wolves) and Fletcher...

^^ Yeah, nothing seems really obvious mate, unless of course you meant you went for Wigan players.

I only have one Sunderland player in my team.

I have Fletcher in my midfield too, if you mean Darren.

Yeah, I've got Kirkland, Bramble and Rodallega. The rest are pretty obvious really - Torres, Gerrard, Milner, bla di bla di bloom.

I have Milner in mine too. I wanted Gerrard but he had to go to make room for Rooney and Van Persie.

BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Hull 2-1 Wigan

Typical. Absolutely bloody typical of this nauseatingly inconsistent start to the season - following up arguably the best result in the club's history by losing to Hull.

Oh well...

Man Utd getting beat 2-1 from Sunderland haha.

Come on ref blow the fucking whistle!

even if there is 20 minutes left

Sunderland down to 10 men....

2-2 at full time. Deflected in off Ferdinand with a couple of minutes left.

Shit!

He who laughs last...:finger:

Heh well i cant argue you lot were good for your goal like, it was a massacre towards the end. Absolutely gutted though. Were getting used to late goals against Man U after Vidic's last season as well.

Arsenal are hammering Blackburn 5-2.

miller time, make it a double, rangers 2-1 celtic, we're hav'n a party!

6-2 Arsenal, what a goal Bendtner!

Weren't Blackburn winning this game at one stage?

^^^ At 2 stages.

Yeah Arsenal came from behind twice. All of their goals were great.

Old Firm today, rangers 2 - 1 celtic.
happy timessssssss :D
