FA Premier League Thread

You took it the wrong way. You took it for quality rather then quantity.

They also have dong and Saha, but I wouldn't say they are reliable. I've heard Saha is a pain, he doesn't wish to push himself after injury. I'm sure Ole will sort him out.

Most teams have more then 2 strikers, so they can rotate and cover for injury. It would be a bummer for Man Utd if they lost Tevez and Rooney at the same time.

A survey of English football fans revealed what Reds supporters have known all along - Anfield has the best atmosphere in Europe.

The poll, conducted by property consultants Drivers Jonas Sport, ranked Liverpool's famous stadium ahead of the likes of Real Madrid's Bernabeu and Barcelona's Nou Camp, which was the highest-placed side from mainland Europe in fifth place.

Celtic's Parkhead came second while Portsmouth's Fratton Park was a surprise third.

I am not surprised that Fratton Park is there everytime I go there its always quite loud.

[Shibby]

Fratton park should be higher! On a more serious note we only house about 20k. So we have less people :p Heck we sing when we lose! I remember once we were cheering on arsenal when losing.

I can't make it much to pompey games :(

But it's great that we are Third.

[Rappy Veteran]

Think I should be watching the Pompey game theres goals galore!!!

[Shibby]

I wish I could, probably match of the day on on MOTD tonight.

Slighty disappointed we let in 3 goals. but we've made up for it.

7-4

[Rappy Veteran]

:laugh: the goals keep coming!!!

It's getting crazy!

[Shibby]

Well full time now.

I think pompey couldn't care about the defence, they wanted the goals.

This should be the highest score for rest of the season.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

SOOOOOO HAPPY

[Martyn]

7-4 what a game, if that is not first on MOTD tonight I will cry :cry:! Knowing the BBC though they will probably put Chavski on first.

Liverpool won today, although if I am honest we again never played well and Wigan probably could of felt a little hard done by. Still...3 points is 3 points.

[Shibby]

I heard something about some 'Pool fans getting into the wigan section. Is that true?

I heard something about some 'Pool fans getting into the wigan section. Is that true?

Yes, the game was marred by crowd disturbances. Nonetheless, we got the all important 3 points. It's a big confidence booster for the lads. Yossi Benayoun is proving to be an excellent pickup just like I predicted. C'MON REDS!

Anfield the ground with the best atmosphere?

Might have believed that if the survey hadn't been conducted by the commercial property consultants appointed to value Anfield.

Pure coincidence I'm sure. :whistle:

[rounds]

The match was played at Wigan's ground I think.

Surely Bolton and Middlesborough will be managerless soon?

Who do you think should be Man City's first striker? Mpenza is just awful, I'd play Samaras personally.

[Martyn]

I heard something about some 'Pool fans getting into the wigan section. Is that true?

Yeah it is. Some Reds sneaked into the home support and started jumping around and celebrating when Liverpool scored. Needless to say the Wigan fans where not to pleased ;)

Anfield the ground with the best atmosphere?

Might have believed that if the survey hadn't been conducted by the commercial property consultants appointed to value Anfield.

Pure coincidence I'm sure. :whistle:

Bitter blue or Manc scum? Every neutral fan I know says the atmosphere at Anfield is magical, the same can be said for the atmosphere at Fratton Park.

[monkey13]

No Newcastle all my life. We certainly had the best home crowd until we upgraded the stadium. It's to open now so the atmosphere is much less. (plus we've been playing **** football for a bit)

We've got the best away fans though.

I get the feeling Martin Jol could be managing his last game for Spurs tonight.

[Rappy Veteran]

I get the feeling Martin Jol could be managing his last game for Spurs tonight.

May of just saved his job again!!! 4-4 is crazy stuff!!!

[Rappy Veteran]

Martin Jol is riding the crest of the wave again this time at Anfield 2-1 to Spurs atm!!!

[Kev1n]

Heh. What a close shave for us. But Arsenal still won 3-2. From what I read its a great match, waiting for full match highlights. Van Persie FTW!

[Rappy Veteran]

2-2 at Anfield...Liverpool are letting it slip a bit after their good start.

[Shibby]

Pompey beat Fulham with 2-0

Played against last season tough sides e.g. Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bolton and Blackburn. We're fifth place!

Now thats shows how pompey have come on in the past few years, thats pretty good if you ask me.

[gregb0b]

Chelsea is finally winning! There is hope and Cate is on his way ;)

[Rappy Veteran]

Back to the games this weekend!

[Martyn]

...and it's the Derby tomorrow :D!

[WelshBluebird]

...and it's the Derby tomorrow :D!

and I can't believe the FA chose clattenburg to officiate it (I thought after his performance at Ninian park last year, he should be banned from refeering lol - and proved my point again yesterday).
