English/Barclay's Premier League 2008-09 Bragging and Complaining Thread

[Smallville]

City lost to Brighton - - - -BRIGHTON! in the Carling Cup yesterday. Well at least that doesn't affect the league standings. It's gonna take a while for the team to come together (that 6-0 shellacking last weekend is not how they are going to play all the time, it just happened to come together for them) with all the new players, new management, and the January transfers that will be coming in. I still think top 6 is still an attainable goal for them this year. But it won't be easy for all the new players to get on the same page in just part of one season.

Well City lost to Wigan 2-1. Thanks to a super dive by a Wigan player which led to a penalty kick. City didn't play well enough to win anyway but it might have been different if that Wigan player had been red carded for diving in the penalty area. Oh well, win a few, lose a few, it's still a long season.

My wife (the Mancunian) said they should review any time there is a penalty kick and that would eliminate the diving/acting. And she hates instant replay but she has seen too many games in many competitions decided by an acting job.

But that is a better loss (if there's such a thing

) than Aresenal's loss to Hull City, a promoted team from the second division, that moved the Chelsea up to first. My squad is looking good

Looks like we've gotten sort of half going again after a slow start to the season. *Is happy*

City is in the last 16 of the UEFA cup competion.
Won't it be great if City beat United in the UEFA Super cup (ala FC Zenit) this fall i.e. if United gets to the final.

I see no one has posted on this in a while, if you have not noticed the team that should be at the top is. Glory, glory, man united.

Yep looks like the rest have shot themselves in the foot and handed another title to the northern scumbags

[Triclone]

I'll say to you the same as what I said to the last liver

scum pool fan who said something of this sort to me: "after United's sudden 2-game absolutely catastrophic disaster-like truly heart-breaking fall from grace (Oh my god! 2 games!!!! EEEEEK!!! WORRYING STUFF!!! DON'T THINK I CAN COPE!!!) and Liverpool's absolute legendary amazing truly monumental Rafa-tactical-genius inspired lengthy record breaking errr...2 league-game winning streak, I would quite happily bet 10 years salary on the fact that 99% of Liverpool fans suffer from premature ejaculation. " (Inended as tongue-in-cheek; don't get all butthurt on me)
