Barclays Premier League Season 2009/2010

[leesmithg]

Everton F.C. 1 Arsenal F.C. 6

One-sided game, and I am not happy (being of Old Skool Arsenal) that we conceded a goal in injury time at the end of the game.

However, we can build on this and as we had a near first team out, I still think, we need a nippy tall defender/sweeper and a quick midfield/striker.

Hopefully Arsenal can take care of Glasgow Celtic and the champions league could be Wengers Swan-Song.

Here we go again :p

I agree.. the goal we conceded did kill the joy of winning a bit.. somehow you feel it wasn't perfect after that goal.. but still we won.. I also agree that we need atleast 2 more players but Song was good today.. our defence wasn't really tested.. especially on set-pieces which was our big weakness last season..

All in all a great opening day.. some amazing goals and 6/8 teams lost at home :o

Looking forward to 'Pool thrashing Spuds tomorrow..

good win for the hammers :)

[Subject Delta]

Some interesting results there. Good performance by the hammers, they could easily have won that game 10-0. The signs of a big struggle for wolves are on. Also, as a Liverpool fan, seeing Everton get mullered is always amusing. Very rare to see Everton get destroyed like that at home.

Now hoping for a Liverpool win and Man United loss tomorrow :D

[limok]

haha lol, utd losing lol... NO

[Shibby]

Pompey lost.

Jeez its going to be a real hard season ahead. It's teams like fulham that we need to beat at home to stay up.

[limok]

Fulham are saying the samething about portsmouth

[Rappy Veteran]

Fulhams expectations are high this season though after last season.

[Subject Delta]

haha lol, utd losing lol... NO

United aren't invincible :laugh: In fact they lost more times than we did last year

[Martyn]

haha lol, utd losing lol... NO

We did come away with a good win and I am glad to be seeing goals but I really want Cole to produce more goals and have him be a bit more consistent this season. Green done well and showed that he really wasn't to be blamed against Holland.

[Subject Delta]

I actually thought Green played really well against Holland. As for Cole, I was also impressed by his England performance. Couple of great talents you got there.

[Green_Eye]

Yeah lets just hope we can keep them there :laugh:

Fighting about last year is pointless, especially when they won the epl ;)

[Kralik]

Yeah.. Utd won last season even though they lost the most games against top 4. They won the title coz they lost the fewest games at home.. thats what you need to do.. make sure u don't lose at home.. hold on by the skin of your teeth if you have to and get atleast a draw at home.. thats what went wrong for us last season and the injuries just multiplied our problems and killed the season for us.. Hoping we wont repeat that this time around.. what I saw yesterday and liked most of all was hunger.. the lads want to prove a point.. they want to win trophies.. need to see more of this

Anyways.. a tough trip to Celtic Park is next for us.. lets see who Wenger plays..

Rodallega's rocket derails Villans

is the headline in The Independent :p

We saw some stunners yesterday but Rodallega's goal was the best of the lot for me..

It's a shame that wasn't his point.

Liverpool were unbeaten at home last season.

Meh i'll take inflicting united's biggest home defeat for 18 years as a positive :laugh:

No, united won the title because Liverpool drew too many games.

[Subject Delta]

Awful start to the season that. Not enough creativity. Things need to improve a lot if we are to mount a title challenge this year.

[gregb0b]

There's the pool I like to see! I can't say much because we played like ass as well :p! A win is a win though.

[The Teej]

Michael Owen completely ballsed up that last opportunity he got, I can't believe someone with such an easy opportunity threw it away.

Oh well, we won, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much :p Still, 1 is the loneliest number :(

[Martyn]

We were terrible.

Although we are always terrible at the start of the season.

Probably through shock, newcastle weren't that great going forward which is why owen didn't stand out. ?But I think he will score those sort of goals soon.

[nothuman]

Ahah, who says lol now? :D

We did what we do the best, a victory by 1-0 (ten 1-0 last season).
