keithgersbear 3,225 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 My problem with the Almunia thing is too many people and pundits look at him and lay too much blame on him. He got something to the shot but the power took it in. Now, if you look at why Ngog was allowed the shot in the first place, Wilshere makes a cock up and we allow Ngog in too easily.Almunia actually did well to get something on it tbh.The thing is, Arshavin is a quality player with great ability but again, is inconsistent too much at the moment and if he was a goal keeper, he would be getting grilled. Its all well and good talking about Almunia to do his job but so does Arshavin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no two ways about it.He's utter horse shit.We all know that papa but the point is, there is other players in the squad not doing what they are supposed to do like Diaby, like Arshavin. That is to create goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is to create goals.I thought Diaby was okay today actually.Arshavin is hugely overrated though. Doesn't really look like he can be arsed turning up 70% of the time.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Manchester United vs Newcastle United tonight, can't wait for Man United's season to kick-off.Be interesting to see how Chicharito does on his Premiership debut, I am expecting big things from him.Another one I have predicted to have a massive season is Antonio Valencia. He's had a good season last year, but I expect him to really kick on now and show why Sir Alex choose him to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looking forward to tonight's game, Monday night football Should be a good game, it's always interesting to see how the newly promoted teams do in the Premier League.I think Newcastle will struggle this season, they needed to add quite a few players which they have failed to do.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I am hoping Paul Scholes starts tonight.After a man of the match display in the Community Shield and a terrific pre-season, he's really on top of his game.A joy to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersDude90 1 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Paul Scholes really was outstanding against Chelsea. His passing was unreal!Agree about Newcastle though. I know it was only a friendly but they really didn't look great against us and still have a squad of averageness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR_54 15 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hope Newcastle get something from the game, if they are to they need to score first.Doubt it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hopefully get to watch the game tonight, that is if I can strike a deal with my folks so they miss out on Corrie and Eastenders... pretty much how it goes in this house. Rarely get to watch games at night.I'm going for 3-0 Utd. Rooney x2 and Valencia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was going to invite my mate over (Man Utd fan) to watch tonight's match with a few beers but I don't want to look at alcohol for a while so it will have to be water all round Man Utd to win 3-0.

GlenH79 42 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 RE: Almunia...99 times out of 100 I think there's absolutely no excuse for a keeper to lose a goal at his near post. Yesterday, however, I don't think we can blame Almunia. We can blame him for a lot of things, but not yesterday.I think he was quite caught out, he probably expected Wilshere to intercept Kuyts pass to Mascherano, but he failed so Mascherano took one touch through to N'Gog who sped past Vermaelen to put the ball in the net, Almunia had not covered the ground quickly enough to prevent the goal from going in, either way, i think i would blame Almunia, He was off guard. Arsenal need a new keeper ASAP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,705 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Newcastle playing pretty well but it reeks of last week against us, Man UTD will probably score with their first real chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Certain he will come on. They are comfortably ahead, going for more. Berbatov off at some point, give Old Trafford a chance to see Hernandez. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
