By close of play next Sunday, United could be 11 points clear of Spurs, or one point behind, or any number of things in between. I think I'd prefer the first option, to be honest.

For Newcastle's first goal yesterday, the goalkeeper and a defender were on the goal line, but one of the other Wolves players (Stearman, I think, don't quote me) had his hand in the air looking for offside. I love it when that happens. Just the stupidity of it all.

/Thread needs more drunk people.

Watching today out of morbid curiosity. Either Arsenal gets a badly needed shot in the arm, or the Wenger/Van Persie era is over.

No pressure

Sir Ryan plays his 900th game and this is his 500th Premier League start.

Norfolking Chance: ScouserDuck: drewogatory: Secondly, I'll have you know that next year will be our year. We've been on a bidecade rebuilding plan. City will win the league this year and well be tied with the mancs at 19 in 2013.

Christ, I've been a 'pool supporter for 35 years and even I think this is optimism bordering on delusion. We would need a huge amount of investment, a new stadium,a complete overhaul of the squad and likely a new manager to attract top tier international talent. Without Champion's League, players and agents would want to see Man City levels of spending before commiting to a mid table team. No, we'll continue to buy overpriced homegrown talent, stretch our squad to the breaking point if we do win the FA and sneak into the Europa, and finish between 6th and 10th again.

The "next year is our year" thing has become the fark pool supporters new mantra. We say it every year.

Liverpool are one place above Norwich at the moment.

Just saying.

In my original analysis, I used the phrase "bidecade rebuilding period". Just sayin'

/people need to stop taking me so seriously
//Kyut > Fabregas

So I think I rooting for spurs today. Keep arsenal down for a possability to catch up to 4th.

hmmmm...

At some point (read: when I'm done paying off all of my college debt), I've gotta go to Wembley. Wish I could be there today honestly.

Hope my Reds pull off the win.

Haha.

I had 14 shots of Jameson.

Its going to be a long day for Norwich but with Holt and Jackson up front Norwich have a good chance of scoring at least one goal against Ferdinand and Evans as i don't think Evans has got the strength to hold of Holt. With Morrison and Hoolahan as subs Lambert has a some good options to mix thigs up.

The problem for Norwich is that the defense is good against a more robust Stoke/Championship attack but looks half a step behind teams that are good pass and move sides. The movement of Welbeck and Hernandez will realy test them.

Overall i think it will be a 2-1 to ManU if Nani has an off day.

But you never know Scholes may get his first red card after coming back and that could give Norwich the chance.

Benayoun in for Oxlade-Chamberlain. We're boned

I managed to get to the old Wembly and while it was really run down at the end when you walked out of the underground station and had Wembly way stretch for a mile to the towers it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

689908: I had 14 shots of Jameson.

Oh my. While I could probably stomach 14 car bombs. 14 shots of straight whiskey is a LOT.

Chicken Carbonara and a gin and tonic for match food. An odd match, but I don' have ingredients to make anything else at the moment.

\Pulling for Norwich, Tottenham, and Swans

Slightly NSFW man-ass and language.

If the Arse lose today, it won't be because of Benayoun.

Just woke up, still drunk, let's do this

Why are there so many drunk people in here? Did I miss a Fark party or something?

689908: Slightly NSFW man-ass and language.

Ha. It's been a while since I've watched season 1.

Zero goals is hard to win with

Well to be fair, im too classy to have a drink this early. However, I am still drunk from last night.

Lol. Jeez

I could say the same for your defensive line.

LOUIS SAHA opens the scoring!

Szcz lost it in the sun it looks like.

Saha makes it 1-0.

Game.

Dmanit to helll


followed by whoooo

Norwich 0 - ManU 1

Arse 0 - Spurs 1

Woo, finally get to watch a game Live today (Saturdays are always so busy, everything is tape delayed).

Hoping Cardiff beats 'Pool today, only cause of the underdog element. (I don't think it'll happen to be realistic).

Langston:

Heh. :)

Wow, Saha scores already...that was quick. Good start.

:(

Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

Let me just say that the only reason I went up and got a beer just now is a hangover tried to show itself and it felt like a deatheater

HaywoodJablonski: Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

Because you're a sally.


/sober
//not hungover

HaywoodJablonski: Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

Oh sure rub it in, jerk.

Gibbs should be flogged for wasting time in the box like that. Absolutely threw it away.

HaywoodJablonski: Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

I'm sober. No reason to get drunk yesterday.

How did RvP miss from there?

Did we just botch that shot or am I just drunk playing FIFA

ADubs86: HaywoodJablonski: Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

I'm sober. No reason to get drunk yesterday.

I don't understand this comment.

Benny defending in the corner, terrible foul call, heads almost caught up arses, RVPs misses obvious chance.

I'm sober but I'm skipping my AA meeting to watch the CC final, so we'll see how long that lasts.

What a save.

ScouserDuck: I don't understand this comment.

Neither do I, and I've re-read it at least six times.

Arsenal getting their chances, Friedel is on skates.

HaywoodJablonski: Why am I the only sober/non-hungover one in this thread?

I'm sober but I don't drink. I think it's my lot in life to be the designated driver.

Sanga has been terrible so far.

That was about three clear fouls and play stopped for none of them.

Scott Parker looks more and more like a Bond villain every time I see him.

PunchDrunkPanda: Scott Parker looks more and more like a Bond villain every time I see him.

Dead on like the guy from Die Another Day.

Langston: Okay I'm up, I'm up. Ugh. I feel like a bag of smashed assholes but I'm semi-coherent. Debating the merits of drinking before sunrise.

I'm up. Hungover like a big dog, but up.

PEN!
