not sure I do...next up for West Ham is Chelsea :rofl:

:p

Any Chelsea - West Ham game is worth watching,apart from the Lampard boing I loved every single one I watched to date.

And Happy Birthday!Hope you have a wonderful day! :fun:

It's unreal how the cycle keeps on going

It really shouldn't be surprising about Van Perise but It's terrible how Walcott seems to get injured every time he hits form.

Former Liverpool and Lyon boss Gerard Houllier has been appointed the new manager of Aston Villa.

The 63-year-old left the post of technical director at the French Football Federation to return to English football after six years away.

He takes over from caretaker Kevin MacDonald, who had been in charge since Martin O'Neill left on 9 August.

Club chief executive Paul Faulkner said Houllier "understands the ethos of our Club and shares our core values."

The length of Houllier's contract has not yet been revealed, but he will be formally presented to the media on Friday, with his first game in charge away to Stoke on 13 September

"Two of the key qualities which we identified as being of crucial importance in our search for the new manager were experience of managing in the Premier League and a strategy for building on the existing strengths in our current squad," said Faulkner.

"Gerard Houllier comfortably satisfies these criteria."

Houllier admitted it had been a "very difficult decision" to leave his post in France but he was "very happy and proud to join this great and historic club.

You're right. And it sucks seeing, for example, a hat-trick against Blackpool, and now he's out for weeks. It's frustrating.

Yeah and it doesnt apply only to Walcott.. it happens to all our players who hit form.. lets go year by year... Eduardo, Cesc (plus Rosicky and Nasri), RvP (plus Cesc and Arshavin), Walcott.. RvP every year plus 1 or 2 more who are playing well seems to be the formula :/

[Crazysah]

Damn. Walcott is out for up to 6 weeks. That's going to hurt us bad!

[Valerus]

Defoe's out for 3 months. None of us can catch any breaks!

[Kralik]

Kuyt out of some weeks too..

Thomas Vermaelen has added to Arsenal's injury woes after he was ruled out of tomorrow's match against Bolton Wanderers with an Achilles knock.

Vermaelen, 24, has joined Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner and Aaron Ramsey on the sidelines. His withdrawal should see new signing Sebastien Squillaci form an all-French centre-back partnership with Laurent Koscielny.

Wayne Rooney left out of Manchester United Squad to face Everton.

Wayne Rooney has been left out of the Manchester United squad for the Premier League game at Everton on Saturday.

The England striker, who is at the centre of allegations about his private life, has been spared an expected hostile return to his former club.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Everton boss David Moyes refused to discuss 24-year-old Rooney's private life ahead of the game.

Meanwhile, Rooney, 24, and his wife Coleen have appealed for privacy...

[Kostaz]

and so it begins....

[Farstrider]

For you Rappy!

"Avram Grant hands debuts to new signings, right-back Lars Jacobsen and striker Victor Obinna, as the Hammers go in search of their first points of the season. Chelsea call on Brazilian playmaker Ramires for the first time in place of the injured Frank Lampard. Captain John Terry has recovered from a hamstring complaint to make his 300th Premier League start alongside Branislav Ivanovic, who is preferred to Alex. Salomon Kalou gets the nod ahead of Florent Malouda in attack. "

..... sorry to say old chap.....West Ham 0-1 Chelsea (Essien)

I really hope for your teams sake they can get something out of this match!

Uggh, nice one Man U. Let's just throw away two points.

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "You could sell tickets to be inside the Manchester United dressing room after Everton score twice in injury time to take a point. Sir Alex Ferguson and his team will be wondering how they have allowed victory to escape. Goodison Park is rocking after that stunning finale, for United it is the careless casting aside of victory. How wise does the decision not to play Wayne Rooney look now?"

:laugh: :laugh:

[rajputwarrior]

man u choking (Y)

[ViZioN]

:laugh: :laugh:

The decision to play Rooney is here nor there. United scored 3 and had the game won but weren't good enough defensively. Letting in two goals in injury time is shocking.

[Rappy Veteran]

2-0 to Chelski well that's it!

nice one Green (Y) :no:

[Kostaz]

2-0 to Chelsea well that's it!

nice one Green (Y) :no:

Kalou is one lucky ******

[Rappy Veteran]

Zola's tenure looks pretty good now compared to Avram Grant!

[Kralik]

[acnpt]

Sounds like Bobby Zamora has got a broken ankle. :no:

[psyn]

[Valerus]

Great. Another injury is AWESOME :crazy:

[Kostaz]

3-1 FT

Parker is a tool.

Blackpool the only team with a clean sheet :pinch:

Edit: There are some talks of Grant getting sacked
