Other Games This Week | 22 - 27 August

I really want to see Coutinho do well...for anyone other than them.

[dick dastardley]

0-0 would be great but both look shite at the back

Well....

[kinkylola]

So these two were meant to effectively beat us to the title and push us out of the top4, is that right? Fucking joke.

So 2 minutes after Tyler says arsenal haven't scored at home for 5 out of the last 6 games
Smith praises Liverpool for keeping a clean sheet against one of the best strike forces in the premier league

[City64]

I wonder when Wenger,s 19 year plan comes to fruition ????

[iwasthere2012]

Well, that's the first I've seen of both of them. What have I learned. Arsenal are worse than I thought they would be and Liverpool are slightly better than I thought, but miles off what they think of themselves.

Arsenal should have been a goal up through Ramsey, but basically they over play it too much and don't have a really quality striker.
They get overran very easily when hassled out of there tippy tappy football.
Liverpool did this in the first half. They play at 100 miles an hour for one half of football and then run out of steam and don't have the ability to control a game.
They fall back deeper and deeper, ten men behind the ball and hope for a draw.

TBH nothing much has changed with either of them.
Liverpool played the same way in 2013-14.
The only difference was they had Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge and usually had teams put away in the first half.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Arsenal are absolutely fucking dreadful. You'd think after 19 years Wengers project would be nearing perfection

It is if you don't support Arsenil.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Listening to the egregious BBC Radio 5 and both sets of supporters sounding suicidal. Where's David James when you need cheering up?

[blues-clues]

Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool should be collectively congratulated. They have scored more goals between them (5) than our back four (3).

No doubt Tyler will.

[Hutch's Shoulder]

I was a bit distracted by some female company for this game, but in the bits I did see the scousers looked more dangerous than the arse, disallowed goal apart. They aren't going to be the high scoring April champions of 2014, but they look to have a better chance of scraping fourth than I originally thought.

Strangely enough, whilst being able to watch footy uninterrupted for the first three weekends I think, having seen the old Big 4, that they are all going to have some big surprises. Bournemouth for me were far better than Scouse 2 last week.

Teams like Stoke, Spuds have been a tad unlucky so far against the so called Big 4

Long may it continue.

I think if we can keep playing with level of intensity shown in the football in the first three matches it is going to tire most teams out.

Big test next weekend though, if the team is really serious.

Presumably in some sort of institution

OTB is an institution round our way too.

[mr_nool]

Sunderland's defense continue to impress. They've now let three goals in in 45 minutes against a League 2 side.

[nottsblue]

Rodwell has scored two. Wonders will never cease

More amazingly, so has Sinclair.

[dick dastardley]

Celtic out Scottish football really is shite

[mr_nool]

Celtic out Scottish football really is shite

It wasn't undeserved either. Malmö were by far the better team tonight.
