Premiership Saturday


It's a brand new world, lads. The magic website is allowing me and a gaggle of Nocitos to watch Berba make his first down-payment on his signing fee with a lovely pass to Tevez. It really is all on live this morning, so there's no reason not to join in. See you in the new virtual world.

The Nocito clan seems to be enjoying this new three-pronged United attack.

Van der Sar nearly spilled one into the goal. The normally reliable Dutchmen seemed non-plussed by the Anfield crowd.

Something must have been in VDS's cornflakes this morning because he's just made a complete hash of a bobbler that's rocketed off the 'Orrible Orange and gone in. It's 1-1.

I am disgusted with United not winning!! What a mistake!!

Into the second half and my 1-1 prediction is looking pretty good today.

Ryan Babbel has stepped up and crushed my perfect score dreams by netting Liverpool's second.

2-1 Liverpool.

Into stoppage time at Anfield and there isn't much time left for United to rescue this one. Kuyt has nearly made it 3-1.

I set the alarm for 7, but just couldn't face the early start this morning.

I'm up watching pirate feed of the Arsenal. RVP made a hash of his free kick, but he's redeemed himself scoring from a perfect pass from Theo.

10:12 AM

Chrissakes, we almost concede from comic defending. Clichy and Gallas going for the same cross. Stupid.

Then Theo runs up the pitch and tries to bend it and hit it all wrong.

We're steaming forward with menace, but jeeez, we're shakey at the back. No surprize that Blackburn have started booting RVP. Should be a yellow because he was always second to that and should have pulled out.

You both must be out watching Thomas terrorize some teenaged defence. Fill your boots Thomas.

Andrews again kicking lumps out of Fabregas. Jesus, he just launched himself into a slide straight over both of Fabregas' legs. I don't care what the podcast boys say about them, Blackburn will always be synonymous with outright thuggery.

All of my predicted scores are in the crapper apart from this one so far. I'm on negative points unless the results end up different.

Now bleeding WBA is weighing in with more pain on my picks.

Such a lovely counter-attack ends with RVP choosing the near post and the side netting. Lovely sweeping move and great pass from Denilson.

10:32 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I swear, Adebayor must be the most off-side prone player in Arsenal history. 3-times this half at least when if he'd checked his run, he'd have had a 1st-half hat-trick.

On the side of darkness, Roque Santa Cruz must wonder what god he's offended that he's ended up amongst this shower of thuggish scum. He's way too classy.

4th offside of the half for Manu.

Brett Emerton looks like a bear riding a bike when he tries to play football. Why isn't he playing Aussie Rules where his homicidal tendencies would be rather more rewarded? Well, not financially, probably, and that's probably it.

Whoooah, Sagna saving our first class bacon with a perfect tackle in the box.

Then Kolo is the last man against the odious Andrews.

Arsenal making a pigs ear of the end of the half.

GREAT CROSS FROM WALCOTT TO RVP WHO HITS IT INCHES WIDE!!! What a chance.

And of course, Denilson gets one tackle wrong and the ref gets out his card. Wanker.

10:44 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Correction. Just a chat after all, and Pederson's tame shot from the ensuing free is 6-7 feet wide.

10:45 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Well, the hordes from Mordir know who the threat is and if we still let them get crosses into RSC, we'll end up regretting it.

Andrews, Warnock, Emmerton, it's like watching that crap Vinnie Jones prison football movie.

And there's ADEBAYOR picked out by Denilson's cross and BANG, headed inside the goal. And he was onsides for once this half. He must have been retying his boots and looked up and thought, "S**T! Must struggle to get on the end of this."

2-0, and then there's the whistle for the end of the half.

Take that you Blue Orcs. JUSTICE!!!

For Blackburn, RSC has looked really dangerous and why a better club didn't meet Blackburns valuation of him is a mystery and the reason he cries into his pillow every night. I cn think of many teams, Villa, Everton, Portsmouth, City, that are crying out for the strong point of spear that he represents. Jason Roberts is also worthy of a mention because he holds up the ball so well. The rest of them just keep pumping the ball forward to him and he wins it, sttles it, and lays it off.

For us, Theo, Denilson, Fabregas, RVP, and now that Adebayor has shown that he's capable of staying onside look really good. But the defenders really need a boot up the ass. Gallas has wandered, and Sagna and Clichy have been caught too far forward to pitch in defending the counter.

Second half starts and Stephen Reid is on for... Roberts? Sorry, I missed it. Great, I was concerned that they'd bring on that Derbyshire kid. No, not for Roberts, he's still on. Blackburn come out running this half. Everything is coming from the wing so Clichy and Sagna must wake up. Now.

11:08 AM

Again, they strip the ball off of Eboue and then race down the wing. The pinched expression of Wenger on the sidelines says it all.

Aiiiiiyyyy... Walcott finds himself in the same position as he did for his first goal against the Croats and hits it very wide.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Song come on to add stiffness to a softish middle.

11:14 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Aiiiiiyyyy... Toure can't figure out whether to head it or kick it and misses an open opportunity from the corner.

Then Eboue hits a long range effort which Robinson had time to get to.

11:15 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Strange, Blackburn have abandoned the wings for the last 5-7 minutes and have put every attack they've tried through the middle.

Denilson gets a yellow for a handball in a dangerous area in front of goal. Reid blasts without pace, accuracy or even a smidge of quality.

11:20 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

You know, I now think Reid was on from the start, but was so absent in the first half that I didn't notice him. Can't remember even one mention of his name. Here comes Song for Walcott and Benni McCarthy for Reid?

11:23 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Song's inclusion has meant that Fabregas is now playing on the right??? Eboue left, Denilson and Song in the middle, Fabregas on the right.

Denilson must have read that Robinson is dodgy because he has had a pop from a very optimistic area every time the ball comes loose to him.

Samba just leveled Sagna and the ref just can't be bothered to enforce the rules.

Subs-McCarthy for Roberts, Tracy? for MG Pederson for the Orcs.

Hey mate: Just back from watching Matt Nocito's match this morning. I won't mention the score. There's a pall over the Nocito house after that early morning loss to Liverpool. They think I've brought a curse with me. Never mind - Leeds are 2-1 up at Swindon currently.

11:31 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Beautiful 40 yard cross-field ball from Fabregas to Adebayor, but Manu gets it stuck under his feet.

Then Manu looks like he's onto a mistake from Samba, but Nelson saves the Orcs..., well what ever they eat for breakfast.

Your lot are looking good for this win, eh?

Apparently the kids name is Treacy and he figured in the N.Ireland squad. Derbyshire is on now. Somebody named Simpson went off.

Hello BDB!

Actually, I'm the kiss of death for Dave too.

That's a shame because I know how hard I take a loss too. It really f***s up a weekend.

Yes, things looking good. Mind, when the Orcs have used the wings, they've looked damned dangerous and in this unusual midfield formation with Cesc playing right, I can't see why they have abandoned the approach. They were giving Sagna and Clichy a really hard time.

11:37 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Penalty. No question.

Warnock should get a yellow, but Eboue shouldn't be rolling around like he'd been shot.

11:39 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Adebayor to take it and...

11:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lovely. 3-1 up for you lot. You're happy that Ade stayed with you now.

11:40 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

HE SCORES!!!!

Robinson just missed that. The shot w way too close to him and not really convincing.

3-0.

Now Aaron Ramsey comes on for Eboue and I may be wrong about him not being injured.

That would be typical. That Warnock wanker nobbled Denilson last season and I think he may have hurt RVP when he was at Liverpool.

I really hate Blackburn.

COOL!!! Jack Wilshere the 16-17 year old replaces Adebayor now.

I love that kid's attitude.

I asked the Nocitos for some help with the predictions this morning and they were as hopeless as I am at picking these things. The only result I've picked so far is the one we're watching on FSC and Newcastle may still equalize here.

11:44 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

These subs have unsettled our shape a bit and McCarthy's goal bound effort is just stopped by Almunia. The ensuing corner is kicked straight out of play. That was an MLS corner.

Warnock with an unpunished elbow to Sagna's ribs.

Leeds 3-1 now. Beckford's second. Lovely jubbly.

Arsenal string 20+ uninterrupted passes before it's forced out for a throw. Blackburn fans sing "Same old Arsenal, always cheating." Blackburn is populated by retards.

11:49 AM

Stephen Reid tackles Clichy and Clichy takes the flat of Reid's foot in the side of his ribcage.

3-0 down and the boot is still being put in.

Great scoreline for you lot. Congrats.

3 minutes of added time because we don't have enough bruises.

BUT ADEBAYOR SPLITS THE DEFENDERS AND WALKS IT IN FOR HIS HAT-TRICK AND ARSENALS 4TH! THIS IS THE WAY YOU TREAT TEAMS THAT SET OUT TO BOOTYOU OFF THE PARK. I AM SO HAPPY.

Fantastic! 4-0 against one of my least favorite teams in front of their retarded violent supporters.

Borstal Rovers FC are S**T.
