PLENO1's footy thoughts

The kid they are bringing on isn't even a specialist fullback- he a dm

[pleno1]

Miquel? Was going to put him in my fantasy team for the reason he was the only left back left and was good for set pieces. But yeah, I'll concede that I was wrong here

EVen so its bad by Wenger to play Walcott and Chamberlain on the wings where the wingers will be extremely important, Ferguson would always have a Park or a Fletcher even an Oshea playing there.

Miguel is a centre back who has filled in. He is not and has never been a left back- as I said it's a case of no other options

I guess this is why Mancini is the best.

Richards >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Zabaleta, but Mancini picks him for the right games.

Man City vs Man U last week in the cup. Half time getting beat 3-0, Mancini brings on Savic and Zabaleta for Silva and Nasri and boooooom 2 goals.

Not sure if srs ?

Not sure if srs ?

he must mean like 'the best' as in 'really good', not the actual best...

I think a loss would be really bad.

Our midfield will be a combination of

HBA Guthrie Gosling Jonas

HBA Raylor Gutrie Jonas

with perhaps Abeid/Vuckic getting a look in.

I looked at Fulhams team and WOW! It is super super old, the oldest in the prem surely. I think that they can perhaps pass through our midfield and if we had Cabaye/Tiote we would stroll to a victory today.

I htink HBA can exploit John Arne Rilse who was alwyas better going forward and Senderos is definitely suspect.

Their forward line is tricky and always hate playing against Andy Johnson, but I'm quite positive and think we can keep our first third consecutive clean sheet since 2008 when Keegan was manager.

0-2

With the greatest respect, you must be one of the most deluded posters I've ever met. You seem like a really nice guy and have obvious football knowledge - alongside having played at a decent level - but your bias is incredible!

As the results this season have shown, no game is easy. My club Arsenal have lost at Swansea, Blackburn and Fulham away amongst others; whilst the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool have drawn at Wigan. To suggest that had two of your more influential players been fit then you'd stroll to a victory is ridiculous.

Hopefully today was a wake-up call.

that's not bias - almost everyone would have gotten on Newcastle winning today and Fulham were awful, Riise is better going forward, Senderos was really suspect, etc etc.

freak results don't mean you can't expect to win a game.

Not a freak result.

A confident 20 minutes was all it took for pegasus to take a 2 - 0 lead in last nights rivals encounter with cannons fc. Aaron Edwards who finally got a start was the first on the score sheet as he chipped a ball into the left hand side of the goal over the keeper.  10 minutes later skipper Matt Powell volleyed in a cross coming in from outside the box.
 
 Pegasus looked to be in control of the game. Chance after chance could have sealed the points inside 30 minutes, but cannons held on. As we approached half time, the blues began to get a little complaicent as Cannons started to push forward more often,  although it finished 2-0 at half time. Into the second half, Pegasus remained with most of the possesion but still failing to place it at the back of the net.
 
Approximately 65 past and Cannons had a man sent off for a second yellow as a result of verbal abuse towards the referee. Minutes after, tackles flaired up from the Pink side and suddenly the game was more of a battle. As we reached the 80 th minute, Cannons had a free kick outside the box. Pegasus keeper Justin Pou who had only 1 save to make so far, couldnt get to excellently hit ball as Cannons pulled one back late on. from there on, Pegasus manager brought on 2 changes to change formation. A 4-1-4-1 kept Impressive Pau Escoler as an anchor man and Patrick Leonard as the playmaker who had an exceptional game. His throughballs and skills for the crowd was no short of brilliance.
 
The blues kept Chances from cannons at bay till the last minute but went home with the deserved three points. It finished Pegasus 2 Cannons 1 .
Man of the match - Patrick Leonard

Did you see/hear anything of Jason Prior when he was up for his recent trial with Newcastle? Wimbledon have just signed him instead - interested to see if he can get anywhere near replicating his phenomenal non-league goal-scoring form in the league.

guess i can answer as well...

he scored in a couple of reserve games/behind closed doors games and generally impressed in training but picked up a small knock just before the final reserve game of his trial. Pardew said that he was absolutely sure Prior would make it as a pro somewhere, but he wasn't sure it was Newcastle right now and he didn't want to sign the guy just to make a wedge of cash on him later if he could challenge for the first team.

Basically: He's good, but not Demba Ba and should be a really good signing for Wimbledon.

yeh exactly this. Best of luck to him and hopefully wimbledon and newcastles faith in him pays off. Keep me updated please?

Thanks for the replies, I will be sure to let you know how he gets on with us. Could be making his debut at home vs Aldershot tomorrow. I like your assessments of him - hope he proves you both right!

if lionel messi was playing against a decent amateur team, like around about 15 leagues lower than the premiership, how many goald would he score on avaergae per game? Most ridic argument with my friend atm.

Prob like 8 or 9 depends on how good the rest of the team was imo

[gatso]

in what country? if he was in england he'd score very few because he'd spend half of the game being kicked up in the air before being subbed in tears
