2006/2007 Premiership Footy Thread

1 - 0 to Man Utd, courtesy of a penalty.

Killadoob: Man Utd. retain their status as the luckiest team in the game. Van der Sar saved a penalty against Man. City. Luck or not?

Liverpool have made 10 changes from the team that beat chelsea! :eek:

And tney still have a decent side out.

Fulham's defence is shocking- they will go down at this rate. 3-0 to Liverpool...
 
i dunno hey

is saving a penalty lucky? nope

the mark of a great team winning even when they not playing well
 
Liverpool B has gone down 1-0 at Fulham who look safe from the drop now.

Perhaps now people can see what an achievement it was for United and Chelsea to do so well in the CL and the league too...

Oh come on. The statisical chance of a penalty going in is very high. That's why some keepers "predict" where the kicker is going to kick the ball and that's why we see some keepers going the opposite way. I mean Van der Sar saved it with his legs even though it was hit right down the middle.

@Hj: Of course you going to say it was not a penalty..you're a Man Utd. supporter :rolleyes: . And yes I did watch the game.

You cannot tell me you thought it was a penalty?

We could have scored 4 goals in that game :mad: . Even GOD missed an absolute sitter. Don't think that's ever happened to him before :sick:

Nope. Not a penalty IMO :D

It's almost impossible to concede against Man City. What a joke for a team. Feel sorry for their supporters because they haven't scored at home in 7 games or something :o . Missing two pens in the process.:rolleyes:
 
actually dominic i would say a top class striker would score 9/10 times that he takes a penalty

so you have a 90% chance of scoring :)

I'm indifferent about it but if pushed, I would agree with you. I believe that, like in cricket [with the LBWs], you win some and lose some. Besides I wouldn't like to count how many times Christiano Ronaldo has "tripped" in the box.

Luckiest team in the game does not go to the final of the FA Cup, Semis of the CL and leading the league, which could be argued as one of the toughest in the world.

It's funny how people will say things when United scrape through and laugh at them when they lose. They selectively block the league-double United did over Liverpool and the Roma thrashing. I guess the Arse league-double they did on United was great on Arse's performance but that's all they did this season really.

Anyways it a poor derby United basically sat the game out after the opening goal. They do look like a team needing a break. Been playing 2 games/week is not ideal. Hoping Chelsea do not win today because it's trophy handover to United @ Stamford bridge :D

Interesting that you bring that up :o . Manure's win at Anfield was one of the luckiest I've seen in a long time.:p . You were totally out played and then got a lucky "bobble" in the box which went straight to O'Shea(SP). Funny a very similar thing happened against Everton the other day when Manure were completely out of that game as well.

Luck? I'd say so :sick:
 
hehe...well u need luck in the game don't u but United isn't as ****e as most of u guys think they are...on paper I must admit, they had no chance at the beginning of the season. I was thinking we come 2nd and it's a wake up call for SAF to bring in better players...I guess I was wrong but the team still needs better midfielders to replace giggs and scholes.
 
No doubt you lack depth. A DM is the first thing you guys need IMO. You should have got Mascherano :p . To bad we got that bargin ;) You can have Sissoko if you want.:D
