Weekend football - 21/22 August

[Jerry St Clair]

Another couple of 6-0 hammerings today. These are becoming more and more frequent.

Who's going to be the first manager/player to come out with the old "there are no easy games in the Premier League" line this season? Cos it's obviously utter bollocks.

Newcastle 3 -0 Aston Villa at half time.

The Geordies are going to be unbearable.

[TFF]

5-0

I have Dunne and Friedel in my fantasy team. Dropped Walcott as he didn't start last week too.

On Friday I put Van Persie in ahead of Andy Carroll.

[No Fixed Abode]

Wigan 0 - 6 (Six) Chelsea.

[Row Z Royal]

Hangeland shins in a corner for an OG then goes up the other end and heads one in to equalise at 2-2 a couple of minutes later.


Lovely stuff.

[Chaney]

Mister OG was uniteds 2nd top scorer last season, I see hes up and running again.

Can't get a bigger contrast than what Sky offered today. The tedium of Boro-v- Blades followed by the quality and excitement of Fulham -v- Man ure.

That's the punchline in this month's WSC editorial unless I'm mistaken.

Cracking goal from Scholes today. Van Der Saar also looks world-class still, another one for the old boys.

Villa were absolutely dire. I can't remember them making a forward pass that actually made it to its intended target.

I personally thought Van Der Sar could've done a bit better with the goals. Maybe not the second, but the first was definitely save-able.

a familiar feeling to those who watched Shane Long on Saturday

Martin Tyler is paid a pretty penny to talk a load of pro-Premier League guff in his commentary, but his partial excusing of Liverpool's insipid performance in their 3-0 dicking by Man City tonight on the basis of the ongoing ownership situation is baloney even by his low standard. Do you think that the Liverpool players stay awake at night fearing redundancy or being shipped out to Tranmere Rovers? Do they balls. The real roblem lies in the supreme lack of qualty in that side. The pevious manager had a habit of stock-piling medicore guff like Lucas and Aquilani and now they seem to have found another deadbeat in Jovanovic! Added to the likes of that cavalier and unintelligent footballer Johnson, the workmanlike but deathly ordinary Kuyt and the sluggish Carragher and they really are a team on the wane who will struggle to match last season's 'achievements'.

City were impressive in sweeping aside the mediocrity put before them. I like watching Tevez play; I'd rather thave the industry, work-rate and no-little-skill of Tevez over the sulky Torres any day of the week. And Capello should have been sacked the moment he failed to pick Adam Johnson for the World Cup. And sacked twice over for selecting the hapless Green - with a history of mishaps against his name - ahead of the superb Joe Hart.

A post based entirely on hindsight, well done.

At the top of their game, Torres is an infinitely better player than Tevez, industry, work-rate and skill easily adjectives to describe him. But he is unfit and playing in a Liverpool side that has lacked any sort of dynamism since Xabi Alonso left the club. For sulking, see the definition of it in Mascherano, who put Hodgson in the position of having to pick Lucas because he just doesn't fancy playing any more for the club he signed a contract with.

I'm getting fed up with hearing how Joe Hart should have played at the World Cup. 21 years old or whatever, one cap to his name, and 10 clean sheets in a good Premier League season does not an international goalkeeper make. That said, he has been spectacular so far this season and if he is to now get his chance, he looks like taking it.
