Burnley? Really? Manchester the past couple years has started off a little slow but c'mon. What is even worse is that they missed a PK to tie it up.

ManU is only one game into its Premiership campaign, and ALREADY it's missing Ronaldo.

I mean, you gotta think he would have at least nailed that penalty and helped the team scratch out a (still pretty embarassing) draw, if not more.

Rob S · 08-19-2009, 07:51 PM

Utd will be fine imo. Should be them and Chelsea to the end imo. I have the Blues finishing top tho as Utd. will miss Ronaldo. Drogba is also so freaking intimidating when he is on form.

JRTPlaya21 · 08-19-2009, 11:59 PM

Woooohooo on that Liverpool win. And I'm a huge Aguero fan to that post further back. I couldn't believe when my dad said United had lost to some B team.

JRTPlaya21 · 08-20-2009, 03:46 PM

Alvaro Negredo to Sevilla. Gonna miss him but hopefully we buy him back yet again to replace Raul or Ruud.

United & Arsenal with two dominating wins today.

Rob S · 08-22-2009, 11:54 AM

Arsenal look awesome.

Toon won again as well. Good start for them in the Championship and it looks like we could come straight back up.

Knock on wood. I like how they're playing now. I was really upset that we lost Bassong but, he deserves to be playing top flight ball. Supposedly Sol Campbell might join Newcastle in the next few weeks, probably contingent on finding a home for Steven Taylor.

Rob S · 08-22-2009, 12:15 PM

I dont think Taylor is going to get sold unless City gets involved. He is the one guy I feel we will keep around just because he is a Geordie. I heard we were going after Sol, but now some other team is after him. I want Loverkrands back tbh and I dont know why he hasnt been signed. One thing that has frustrated me is not playing Nile Ranger.

I liked Lovenkrands last year also, it's insane that he's without a club. I was excited to see Nile Ranger get some time with the first team time, but Ameobi has been great.

Rob S · 08-22-2009, 03:33 PM

Yeah, I think Ameobi and Carroll are the starters for sure......I would like to see Ranger get a run out every game tho instead of Xisco. Shola is such a championship striker its ridiculous. He is going to put goals in this year. I just hope he doesnt get everyone's hopes up because he doesnt have the skills to cut it as a 1st choice striker in the EPL, he just doesnt. He is top line Championship striker, but thats it imo.

UKfan · 08-22-2009, 03:49 PM

I can't be bothered to put together all the quotes I wanted to but....

Steven Taylor is wanted by Arsenal, Everton and Man City, Everton would seem likely if Lescott leaves for £22m as is the rumour to Man City.

I haven't seen Sol wanted by Newcastle in our press, the main rumour is Sol to Notts County.

Newcastle have started very well, I didn't think they would, kudos.

Rob S · 08-22-2009, 04:07 PM

Yeah, Notts was the team I heard as well. The Toon were liked like a week ago tho. I really just dont see Taylor getting moved from Newcastle unless an insane bid comes in mainly because he doesnt really want to go and his wages are not terribly huge.

Lots of dubious info going around......ah transfers

Only at Newcastle. This clearly deserves a facepalm. A double infact.

Wow please pray for Calcum Davenport.

This really sucks. Particularly this part: "Goal.com sources have learned that the attackers deliberately targeted Davenport’s legs in an attempt to end his professional career".

AntoinCD · 08-24-2009, 11:44 AM

I was reading that it looks like it was his sister's boyfriend who stabbed him over an arguement over her unborn baby

Aston Villa at Liverpool is going to be on ESPN2 at 3 for those interested.

Lverpool to win 3-0. Aston Villa have been terrible so far. Losing Barry and Martin Laursen has really hurt them and Fabian Delph is not exactly awesome

JT Jag · 08-24-2009, 12:11 PM

Burnley's Coyle says that "Chelsea is next". lol, Chelsea wins 3-1.

In other news, this is why we can't have anything nice.
