TFoA Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 2 Games against the big 4 for Villa, 6 points. Wonderful Villa's for real this season. They've proven that they can hang with the big boys of the EPL, & on top of that, they finally took care of business at home. I figure that if Villa's going to make a serious run at a possible Top 4 finish, they're going to have to start winning at home, something that they didn't do last season. However, if they can keep this up (& keep exploiting teams' weaknesses, specifically Chelsea on set pieces), I've got no doubts that Villa will definitely be in contention for a UCL spot by season's end.So yeah, I'm ecstatic. The top team in the league came to Villa Park & Villa came away with all of the points. Fantastic result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 BallOWN3D!I'm assuming these won't be available much longer.So the Reds gave up a goal off a beach ball bearing their own crest. I wonder, does that count as an own-goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, does that count as an own-goal?Ha ha! Technically it shouldn't have counted as a goal at all. The game should have been stopped and restarted with a drop ball, as the ball had hit a 'foreign object'. But its just soooo funny! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 *****Saintsfans weekly EPL Roundup*****Best performance of the week- Sunderland winning over Liverpool. Never mind the legality of the goal, and the absense of Gerrard and Torres, thats a sterling performance from a decent looking team.Worst management complaint- Mark Hughes laying into Alan Wylie, after City drew with Wigan. Just hate it when managers blame a poor result on officials rather than maybe less than a good team performance. Managers on the hotseat- Gianfranco Zola at West Ham is going through some tough times at the moment. Am gonna hold off on my power rankings for a week to get more of a sense of post international break form for the ratings. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Boy are Liverpool in trouble at the moment. They really are in a hole at the moment, all but out of the premiership race already, really struggling in the Champions League. At this rate they will be hoping for a domestic cup win in England. Small beans indeed for a big 4 team. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 ****Saintsfans EPL weekly round up******Best performance of the week- A little bit of competition this week, but struggling West Ham United coming from behind to draw with Arsenal takes the award this week, beating out Chelsea hammering Blackburn and Stoke getting a good away win at high flying Spurs.Copycat performances of the week- 4 games in the EPL on Sunday. In all 4 games one team went 2-0 ahead. Only Liverpool held onto that lead (against former league leaders Man United), As Fulham, Everton and West ham all fought back to 2-2. Everton failed to read the script and conceded a late winner for Bolton. But Fulham and West Ham held on. Manager on the hot seat- Hull City's Phil Brown seems the most precarious to me, an awful performance at home against fellow strugglers P h, in a 0-0 draw. After a great start to last season, Hull really ave seemed to go backwards pretty quickly. ****Saintsfan's Power rankings****1 Chelsea 2 Manchester United3 Arsenal4 Manchester City5 LiverpoolBottom 520 P h19 Hull City18 Blackburn Rovers17 Birmingham City16 West Ham United 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ligue 1 Matchday 10 Wrap-upBordeaux 3-0 Le MansTwo second half goals allow Bordeaux to roll, and get their first win in 3 weeksBoulonge 1-3 Monaco2 late goals by Nene boost Monaco past 10-man BoulongeGrenoble 1-2 NancyThe closest Grenoble has gotten to that illusive point; as they give up an 89th minute penalty to Youssouf HadjiNice 4-1 LyonLyon are brought back to earth after their Champions league win, only an Ederson strike kept David Ospina from a clean sheetSaint-Etienne 0-2 ValenciennesThe disappointing season for Sainté contines, and they give up an early and late strike to lose againSochaux 1-0 LorientAn 8th minute strike by Damien Perquis is enough for Sochaux, and they hold on for the 3 pointsRennes 3-0 MontpellierCould Montpellier's dream season be coming back down to earth? They drop only their second match of the seasonAuxerre 3-2 LilleThis shootout had 3 different lead changes, ended with Daniel Niculae's 82nd minute goal to give Auxerre full pointsLens 0-2 ToulouseIt doesn't seem like Lens want to stay in Ligue 1, another uninspired showing and they drop all points to TFCMarseille P-P PSGThis game has been postponed after 3 PSG players were diagnosed with H1N1 flu. The postponment didn't sit well with some fans, and violence broke out between the two sets of supporters throughout the city.So after 9.9 matchdays, Bordeaux is once again top of the table with 22 points from 10 matches. Monaco's win, coupled with losses by Lyon and Montpellier move the principality up to 2nd with 21 points. Lyon and Montpellier are level on 20 points for 3rd spot. Grenoble is still pointless, and obviously in last place. Le Mans and Lens occupy the final 2 drop spots, they both are on 8 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Brad Guzan was epic today for Villa today in the Carling Cup. He made a penalty save on Kenwyne Jones during the game, and THREE in the shootout to put us through to the quarters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't think that Real Madrid cares about the Copa Del Rey at this point. For them, it's one of those things where if they win it, great. If they don't, oh well, who do they face next in Champions League? So with that being said, Real probably sent out their bench players (but not the B team since they actually play in the 2nd division of Spain) for this one & whichever starters they felt needed some playing time. So yeah, like Cap said, not surprised to hear that Real Madrid got bounced out of the Copa Del Rey, but definitely a surprise to hear it was by 4-0. That's kinda bad.Also, Lil' Brad is the :censored:ing man. 4 penalty saves is EPIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
