I'm so glad we recovered, Walcott was superman and Fabregas was the warrior holding the fort. Not too happy with the ref, gave them a lot of 50/50 decisions

 

[blott]

nice to see the recovery as makes the return more interesting. Arsenal need a leader, someone with a bit of bite like Knasherano.

Was hoping to see Messi skin Campbell a few times - oh well, there's always the next game

 

[Swear Engine]

A little surprised there aren't any moans from LFC fans about penalties, offside goals, sendings off and fifth(sixth) officials. :vroam:

NEWCASTLE PROMOTED!!!!!!!! HOWAY THE LADS I cannot describe how amazing this feels

Now to go for the title, 100 points and unbeaten at home, but more importantly, it's time to get drunk as ****

 

[Gesshoo]

Glad Newcastle are back - they belong in the Prem.

Chris Kamara showing again just how good he is a live match reporting

YouTube- chris kamara misses sending off at portsmouth.

Jesus ****in christ Messi is good.
Messi´s thinking in the first half imo:
First goal- ah, I will just walk past a few defenders and hammer one in when i cant find any one to pass to.
Second goal-Sigh, i gave him a awsome pass and some how he mucks it up, better get in there and score one.
Third goal- There sure are alot of people in the stands, hey theres the ball, GOAL!

YouTube- Lionel Messi's 4 Goal Game vs. Arsenal

 

[Srazorr]

Messi ,wow what a player,can anyone ever see him leave barca and if he did could he cut it in the premier league?????????

 

[Gesshoo]

Big Primera Liga game Saturday night - RM vs B. Could be the title decider. Tied on points and I think RM has a 1 goal advantage.

 

[Srazorr]

Id like to see Barca win LaLiga over RM ,they are just soo much better on the eye,Messi to get 2 i reckon

 

[The Gent]

Messi ,wow what a player,can anyone ever see him leave barca and if he did could he cut it in the premier league?????????

Doesn't he have a $250 Million (may be Euros) release clause in his contract?

In a bizarre weird twist i believe i heard that even if they are tied on points at the end of the season, its who beat who that will decide the position and so the goal diff is on for the main season :stupid::questionm

Having checked Barca won the earlier game 1-0, so if tonight is drawn they should hold top spot arty:

You are correct (again) Ian!

"The first tiebreaker used when two teams are even on points is the goal difference resulting from the two matches between the clubs in question. When more than two teams are tied, the points accumulated from the games between those teams are used to rank them, then goal difference if needed. If head-to-head results are not sufficient to separate teams, goal difference over the entire season, then total goals scored in the season may be used."

 

[beardyian]

The regular Spanish matches on Sky help

Result of the day already in -

Scottish Cup Semi-Final
Celtic 0 - 2 Ross County

 

[GeoffLacey]

Really cannot wait for the Barca v Real game later. Just hope it isn't a let down like most big games are lol

Yes Madrid won the title a few years back on this rule.

Thankfully it doesnt look like they will this year. Messi does it again

 

[GeoffLacey]

barca are not real

 

[beardyian]

barca are not real

Oh yes they are, they are just several levels above everyone else

 

[Gesshoo]

Woo-hoo! Congrats Ian!
