Damn Robbie Keane has 4 goals today. Hopefully no one has him and Fernando Torres on their fantasy teams.
Babel with the 5th for Pool. 5-1. Altidor on now, but LOL Hull is just getting balls rifled on goal every 30 seconds.
wait what the fuck, cech got a red card?!?!?!?! looks like he is off my fantasy team now, no one on my team gets a red card
thanks for the updates rubber. Watching the FSU game now so I wont be around on the soccer board for a while
Also on a more important point. Gareth Bale actually was on a pitch for a period of time when the Spurs won. Only took two years.
I think we got caught looking ahead today. For the first time all year, we played lethargic and didn't win the 50/50s. Plus, Mikel has no place in the diamond. Formation doesn't suit him, hope Ballack is healthy for next week.
I see the 5-2 score from Sunderland and I am like Bent probably balled out of control, but then I saw he only scored 1 out of the 5
For anyone who cares, there was a big shocker today in the Championship as WBA(currently 2nd) lost at home, which is a tough place to play in the Championship to Barnsley. It's West Brom's second straight loss. Newcastle can extend their lead to 5 points tomorrow with a win.
Kinda long story but I met this British dude (no :jimhusker:) in High School he was here for a while on a transfer student basis and he liked Leeds back then so I found out about them. When I started following the EPL closely they were in the championship and then they went down so I never kept track of them but I started again this year and they are doing well. I remember back when they had Ferdinand and were actually good
Newcastle got a draw today at home and could have won but we missed a PK( ) I will update standings on friday, I got a test tomorrow and am just about to start studying
Whats everyone think of the Reds against the Blues this weekend? I believe the Blues will win, but I think Liverpool will keep it close.
Chelsea has been in obvious turmoil lately, and miss Ballack tremendously in the middle. And Liverpool looks uninterested and uninspired (except for Kuyt). But that being said, I'm gonna go Liverpool in an upset at Stamford 3-1.
Pompey looks like they might get off the mark today, up 1-0 on Wolves at half. I'm going to Farmageddon today(KSU-ISU) for shits and giggles. Have a good day!
OP updated. Players now report for international duty I believe, as there's no matches until the 17th of October.
I thought the African Nations Cup might impact the EPL race, but after seeing this I doubt it. Man U. and Liverpool lose no one, Chelsea loses 4 key players but have a very easy schedule, Man City loses 2 players but have a relatively easy schedule. The only team who might be effected is Arsenal who has a tough schedule and loses two players who get a lot of PT. Out to Africa: Clubs that will lose players during the Cup: Arsenal: Alex Song (Cameroon), Emmanuel Eboué (Ivory Coast). May miss: Everton (a), Bolton (h), Aston Villa (a), Man Utd (h). Burnley: Andre Bikey (Cameroon). Stoke (h), Man United (a), Bolton (a), Chelsea (h). Chelsea: Michael Essien (Ghana), Jon Obi Mikel (Nigeria), Didier Drogba (right), Salomon Kalou (both Ivory Coast). Hull (a), Sunderland (h), Birmingham (a) and Burnley (a). Everton: Joseph Yobo, Yakubu (both Nigeria). Arsenal (a), Man City (h), Sunderland (h), Wigan (a). Fulham: John Pantsil (Ghana), Dickson Etuhu (Nigeria). Portsmouth (h), Blackburn (a), Spurs (a), Aston Villa (h). Hull: Daniel Cousin (Gabon), Kamel Ghilas (Algeria). Chelsea (h), Spurs (a), Man Utd (a), Wolves (h). Manchester City: Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo), Kolo Touré. Blackburn (h), Everton (a), Stoke (a), Portsmouth (h). Portsmouth: John Utaka, Kanu (both Nigeria), Aruna Dindane (Ivory Coast). Fulham (a), Birmingham (h), West Ham (h), Man City (a). Sunderland: John Mensah (Ghana). Bolton (h), Chelsea (a), Everton (a), Stoke (h). Tottenham: Benoit Assou-Ekotto (Cameroon). Liverpool (a), Hull (h), Fulham (h), Birmingham (a) Stoke: Mamady Sidibe (Mali). Burnley (a), Liverpool (h), Man City (h), Sunderland (a).
Eboue will only be a loss if Sagna gets hurt, but losing Song does suck, here is hoping to Cameroon getting knocked out early
Chelsea has a soft schedule during that run but losing the starter and the main backup at striker is not good. African Nations Cup needs to move to coincide with a FIFA break.
