The weekend's games

[Tosh]

This from the BBC site, coming up half time in the Boro/Sunderland game...

 

Teemu Tainio limps off with a shoulder injury, to be replaced by Michael Chopra, who comes on for his first start of the season. An attacking change from Keane.

[Sion]

Sunderland's fans early optimism towards Cisse seems to be predictably fizzling out

[Bjarkinn]

What a miss from Roberto Baggio(downing)

Interesting that he "limped" off with a "shoulder" injury. Was he walking on his hands?

GOAL Bolton 1-0 Arsenal

Kevin Davies leaps above Kolo Toure and heads his team in front from 10 yards. A cracking header from Joey O'Brien's corner. A somewhat displeased Arsene Wenger has his arms crossed as he looks on from the sidelines.

Arsenal equalise.

 

Well deserved as they've pummelled Bolton since going behind, but Eboue was offsie.

 

And now Bendtner puts them 2-1 up...

First Arsenal goal was defo offside.

 

Edebayor's celebratory 'dance' is f***ing horrendous.

 

Repulsive stuff. He was f***ing dirty dancing with Eboue there

[stressederic]

In my fantasy team I brought in Eboue in place of Clichy last night. Looks an inspired decision so far as Eboue has scored and Clichy has been taken to hospital.

I'm still struggling with the substitute coming on for his first start

[NWR]

At what stage of the season does second season syndrome start to get a mention for a player?

 

Good result for Arsenal that is.

[Andy @ Allerton]

Hopefully Ronaldo gets his career ended today.

 

The milky bars on are on me if he does.

[John am Rhein]

Hopefully Ronaldo gets his career ended today.

 

Would be so sweet

Interesting decision in the Watford v Reading game

 

Heard about it, but not seen it yet. Sounds utterly bizarre. Anyone know if it is on Youtube or similar yet?

How can he give that? When I heard about it I assumed it must have at least been wide of the far post from where the liner was, but it was actually the near post, the defender goes off the oitch and not into the net, he's clearly wide of the goal.

[Walrus]

WBA - Villa 1-2 at the moment.

Whopper of the day From BBC

 

1233: (See 1209) "Yes Paul, it's a global game - EPL. Too good, it drives people crazy I guess. My daughter (Chelsea) is 7 and named after my fave EPL team and son (Robben) is 5 and named after the Dutchman (Arjen) who starred to give us that elusive EPL crown under the 'Special One'. All this craziness millions of miles away in Fiji! Yes, EPL is great and so is Chelsea and BBC."

[Rory Fitzgerald]

It was bizarre, why would the Reading player be clearing the ball off the line if it was between the posts ?

 

When I first saw it I thought that when the ball came back off the bar, the Reading player lashed the ball into the net (ball goes out of view for a moment) and the problem was that the Reading player scooped the ball back into plaY.

 

Question - Who gets credited with the goal ?
