I gotta say, playing in shorts at near freezing . . .

own goal

. . .temperatures is rather hard core.

Chupacabra Sandwich: ADubs86: It wasn't so much a div as it was just leaving his leg in and baiting for the contact. Still a biatch move though.

No it was definitely a dive. A brush from Chris Baird did not send Johnson down.

decent possession from Fulham capped off with an ok shot from Duff.

Speaking of Chris Baird, he just got an own goal.

Lord Jubjub		2012-02-04 01:03:28 PM

I think Fulham could mug Man City in the box and it won't be called.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 01:04:00 PM

Now that challenge should have been given instead of the Johnson challenge.

Patterson		2012-02-04 01:04:01 PM

Etuhu gets some ball there...but that can be called a penalty any day. This game could turn very ugly for Fulham.

Lord Jubjub		2012-02-04 01:06:36 PM

Nice pick out of the air. Too bad the kick was from his own player.

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 01:07:20 PM

Bring on Riise, Ruiz, and Frei.

Withdraw Baird, Murphy, and Etuhu.

Why is Etuhu in?

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 01:10:54 PM

Duff needs to take better corners. Finding Dempsey or Hangeland in the box is the only way FFC is going to get a goal.

Langston		2012-02-04 01:11:15 PM

Norfolking Chance: Lord Jubjub: Bolton is 3-0-1 against their fellow bottom dwellers. If they can repeat that performance in the second half of the season, they could stay up.

How long is it going to take for Lambert and Norwich to get the credit they deserve? They have been promoted twice in the last two seasons and are now sitting mid-table in the Premier League! Eight points away from safty and its only just February. Apart from Sunderland all the teams above them have been playing European Football this seaason with budgets four or five times bigger.

Lets be 'aving yer!

I'm terrified of Norwich. They play smart and hard, and can score goals. I had picked QPR as the team to stay up early in this season, but instead it's Norwich and Swans mid-table, with QPR much further down. All credit to the Canaries.

Patterson		2012-02-04 01:14:51 PM

Chupacabra Sandwich: Bring on Riise, Ruiz, and Frei.

Withdraw Baird, Murphy, and Etuhu.

Why is Etuhu in?

I figure he started Etuhu to be the midfield tracking dog. I don't get Baird at LB though. At least if Ruiz was on, he would give Fulham another skill option along with Dembele in the midfield.

Lord Jubjub		2012-02-04 01:32:01 PM

Dempsey appears to be coming into his own. He is currently 7th in the league in scoring ahead of some fairly big names.

Fark You Buddy		2012-02-04 01:34:48 PM

Chupacabra Sandwich: Adam Johnson and Samir Nasri is a farking coont.

Seriously, fark City.

FTFY

Patterson		2012-02-04 01:40:36 PM

Looking much better in the second half so far. COYW!!!

Norfolking Chance		2012-02-04 01:42:54 PM

Fark You Buddy: Chupacabra Sandwich: Adam Johnson and Samir Nasri is a farking coont.

Seriously, fark City.

FTFY

It looks like City are trying to one up Utd by being even more hated. That takes some real effort.

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 01:49:34 PM

Jol! The match is only ninety minutes long!

Riise ----> ON
Baird----> OFF

Ruiz-----> ON
Etuhu---> OFF

Patterson		2012-02-04 01:55:29 PM

Where's the foul there? Senderos got the ball...

desertgeek		2012-02-04 01:55:46 PM

The BBC Commentator getting smart. He just posted:

Half an hour left at the Etihad Stadium, aka Ice Station Zebra. Fulham, possibly helped by being in a kit ideal for snow camoflage, are still plugging away ...

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 01:56:29 PM

A BOOKING?

FOR WHAT?

Patterson		2012-02-04 01:56:35 PM

AND he gets the yellow?!?! The ref has affected the game today...really a shame.

Lord Jubjub		2012-02-04 01:56:46 PM

The BBC just reference Ice Station Zebra. THAT's a blast from the past.

A booking? MIght not even have been a foul. . .

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 01:58:02 PM

Serious snow going on.

Bye bye, Etuhu. You're worthless.

Ruiz on.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 01:59:05 PM

Booked for nothing illegal there. This seems to just be City's day.

Patterson		2012-02-04 02:01:08 PM

ADubs86: Booked for nothing illegal there. This seems to just be City's day.

I'm as shocked as everyone else that a top side would get the calls to go their way.

Patterson		2012-02-04 02:02:22 PM

fark off.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 02:02:32 PM

EDIN DZEKO seals the win.

Lord Jubjub		2012-02-04 02:02:35 PM

Well, this game is likely over.

Langston		2012-02-04 02:02:48 PM

Dammit, my feed just crashed. No other feed will load.

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 02:04:37 PM

Game over.

Very nice run.

Aguero continues to haunt us by destroying hangeland.

Also, I farking hate city. Tevez, Balotelli, Johnson, and Nasri. My, my what a bunch of douchebags. I never thought I would be rooting for United to win a title, but I really, really, hate this city team.

Patterson		2012-02-04 02:05:03 PM

Ugh...stupid players trying to "head rub" eachother. I'd give two yellow cards for that idiocy.

Now...time for Fulham to get in there with some two footed sliding tackles. Nothing illegal, just make City earn their 3 points.

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-02-04 02:06:03 PM

get up, aguero. Not even your team believes you are injured.

Patterson		2012-02-04 02:06:21 PM

As much as I hate Man U, they seem to achieve it with some level of class. Like they've been there before...

Like I said, I hate Man U, but I can't help but respect them. City can fark themselves with their oil money.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 02:08:27 PM

Balotelli's in the skybox doing magic tricks. Dude just does not give a fark.

Langston		2012-02-04 02:14:07 PM

ADubs86: Balotelli's in the skybox doing magic tricks. Dude just does not give a fark.

It's his world, we're all just living in it.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 02:20:28 PM

Here comes Pizarro. He's getting a whopping 5 minutes of time.

ADubs86		2012-02-04 02:26:25 PM

And that's time.

Welp, off to cook dinner. See you bros tomorrow.

ADubs86		2012-02-05 08:26:27 AM

And we're back. How's everyone on Super Bowl Sunday?

ADubs86: And we're back. How's everyone on Super Bowl Sunday?

Blecjhh. Not until I've had my coffee.

ScouserDuck		2012-02-05 08:28:29 AM

Hopefully Villa has the mettle to actually pull this one off.

obamartins		2012-02-05 08:31:58 AM

Why am I up right now. But, anyways, go NUFC!

ADubs86		2012-02-05 08:33:01 AM

ScouserDuck: Not until I've had my coffee.

I don't know how people drink that stuff in the morning. It is a horrible tasting liquid.

Unfreakable		2012-02-05 08:36:24 AM

Coffee is like booze in that it allows me to keep going with my day. Fuel for the soul really.

You are the wind beneath my wings.

ADubs86: And we're back. How's everyone on Super Bowl Sunday?

I had to google who was playing in the Superbowl.

Used to be a vague supporter of the NY Jets when I was a young'un. More into baseball wrt colony-originated games now.

obamartins		2012-02-05 08:45:04 AM

DOUBLE DEMBA

/never been more excited for a substitution

ADubs86		2012-02-05 08:45:34 AM

So Leon Best is already down and new signing PAPISS DEMBA CISSE steps on the pitch. I have no idea how they're going to make the No.9 chant with that monstrosity of a name.

midpoint		2012-02-05 08:45:55 AM

What is the plural of Demba?

Dembas?
Dembois?
Dembaii?

midpoint: ADubs86: And we're back. How's everyone on Super Bowl Sunday?

I had to google who was playing in the Superbowl.

My wife asked me who was playing in 'the game' this weekend, I immediately answered 'Chelsea and Manchester United.'
Good god, I now know more about european football then american football
