Pulling through
Nice one that, RR! Just back from the Drury Lane Fan Dancer's rat-**** hovel myself and we came away with a good result there. Some GREAT goals (doubtless a certain person will come on claiming to 'remember Liverpool fans booing Steven Gerarrd for scoring an own goal' - never happened, never will) from our team under development there so all-in-all, a worthwhile trip to the racist pit of rat's ****.

Doubtless you'll get mince from those worthless tedionauts who don't actually go to any games (and so cannot under ANY circumstances consider themselves 'supporters', especially when shown to be sickening glory-hunters and so are kept on 'ignore' from me) so my advice is to suggest they kiss your ring, especially the ones who aren't even Commodores, and leave them to their self-gratification.

Glory, glory be, to Liverpool FC.

Listened on the radio at work and it sounded like a winter warmer! I don't get the game much lately, not even a Commodore and haven't even seen Suarez yet, but I put a stint in evry other Saturday in my teens and 20s and a win puts a spring in me step. Good season so far, not too much pressure and looks like there's a team coming together!

watched the Manchester derby highlights last night and thought 'what a poor game'. Exciting in its own way, but technically very, very ordinary. As for the rest of the games this weekend - Swansea Norwich had nice touches and was hugely entertaining, but, taken as a whole, the standard seems to be slipping.

Or am I being picky?

The standard of British football has been slipping for years. we call our players "world class", but in reality they are good at best.
people like Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard are put on plinths by Sky and co...

The results of the England team, under various master coaches, is a testament to how poor we really are. The Premiership is propped up by foreign players who are technically better

The Swansea/ Norwich game was certainly exciting to listen to (I haven't seen the highlights yet so can't comment on the quality). Great to have scored 4 goals and got our first away win of the season although I have always had a soft spot for the Swans and am pleased to see them doing so well too.

I was out on the fen watching barn owls with the game on the radio at the time - I can personally verify that owls are less excited by Norwich going in at the break 3-0 up than I was!

I agree.

Norwich made a few canny signings over the summer - Bassong / Tettey / Whittaker - but hardly broke the bank and hardly international superstars.

Once Houghton and the players worked out his system of a tight defence and a solid midfield with Holt on his own, we've been unbeaten.

I don't think Norwich are a very good side - yet we're only 4 points behind Everton who are in a Champions League slot and in the League Cup Quarters.

We beat Man Utd and Arsenal comfortably - it wasn't lucky - they just weren't very good.

I was expecting this year to be more competitive as the teams that came up were better than the teams that went down.

West Ham and Southampton had money and QPR I expected to spend theirs a bit better.

The whole league seems worse than last year - we drew fairly comfortably away at Spurs and Everton as well. I don't think we're much better - other teams have become more mediocre.

I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!

Whoops

There goes another chance for Arsenal to win something out the window - another trophyless season one suspects.

Big night tonight, Bradford City V Arsenal. I am convinced that we are going to win. :smile:

The reason I was confident is that, VP is tight, the crowd are right on top of the players, it was going to be minus 2c (I think it was actually lower) and I knew the Arsenal players have no balls, it all went exactly to plan. ^_^

I was worried when I saw their team, what happened to Wenger playing his reserves in this competition? It was pretty much full strength, Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Coquelin, Wilshere; Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski; Gervinho.

It wasn't nice to see Wenger suffer but he has built this team of highly paid bottlers.
