[ONO]

1-0 Sunderland.

[GA!]

Fucking awesome!

[IAceI]

1-1

It's a bizarre feeling when your disappointed at not beating Arsenal. I was so looking forward to celebrating and then being scolded by 9 to 5 for thinking we were actually a good football team too

[Summers]

That's what four mins added time does to you.

Arsenal are lucky, lucky, lucky bastards.

[IAceI]

Weird for us to feel the effects of a late goal against us. 8 of our 10 goals have come in the last 10 minutes.

And... I'm beginning to feel annoyed at not beating Arsenal. I've not felt like this, ever. Last time I remember even beating Arsenal was when Niall Quinn scored a header the year we came up from Division 1 after setting the then highest points total and then Kevin Phillips won the Premiership Golden Boot.

So that's a long, long time ago. About 2000/2001 season.

Still, a point is good. But 3 would have made the table look a bit nicer although the tables a bit irrelevant until 10 games have been played. Plus I coach a lot of Arsenal fans at tennis, was looking forward to a good session of verbally abusing them, it won't have the same affect when we conceded a late equaliser.

Thank fuck Brown's back in the Man Utd starting line-up (he says, speaking from a fantasy football perspective). I was beginning to worry what with all of Gary Neville's recent starts. Now watch Blackburn put two goals past them.

[-A-]

Wow. If West Ham beat Bolton tomorrow we can go TOP of the Premiership. Unbelievable.

EDIT: Actually, we will go top if we win, even if it's only for an hour and a half.

Doubly so.

Sounds like we got a little lucky... Anyone watching?

[Anderson]

Yeah, Vidic really should have been penalised, but Wes was in the right place. Rooney is immense and Rovers don't look a threat going forward.

[Anderson]

Great goal from Rooney. 2-0 United.

Wes Brown has to be our No1 Right Back, no doubt in my mind.

JK Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]?

SB Me.

JK You're a cunt.

Gets me every time.

[Colly]

Wonder if I can get Simon Bird is a Cunt printed on the back of a shirt? I might check the club shop. I may be a Newcastle fan which really makes me biased, but I am really glad he did that. The swearing was hilarious and his actual points where he knocks them for interviewing players he dropped were spot on. Now bring on Everton!

Feel I may regret that last sentence...

[9 to 5]

1-1

Sunderland aren't bad. Just not that great. >_>

[Guest Kou]

Now come on. Sunderland are certainly no Hull.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It's kinda funny to think out of all the teams that got promoted the one that looks like they're gonna be here for a long time came through the play-offs.

Speaking of Hull, LOL Tottenham in the first 15 mins

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Do I laugh or do I cry?!

Dunno really....

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well we've hit the post again. I'm pretty certain we're gonna score at least one today, I'm just worried that Hull are likely to score another!
