What, so we're all little Osama bin Ladens!? xDOriginally Posted by DK
I find it extremely fitting that Osama Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan. That just says all you need to know.

You're just jealous because none of your famous fans managed to deal such horrific damage to western society without being picked up by the United States.I find it extremely fitting that Osama Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan. That just says all you need to know.
Oh wait, I forgot about Oasis.

Aston Villa has looked pretty good this year. I'd rate them as one of the bigger surprises, especially considering the turmoil the team went through before the season began. That Martin O'Neil is quite an excitable guy too, which I enjoy seeing in a Manager/Coach.
Take care all.
Martin O'Neill has done a magnificent job at Villa so far. Today he managed to take a point from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is a big achievement for any team, let alone one that's been as mediocre in recent seasons as Aston Villa. And with Chelsea dropping points, we're left five points off the top spot with a game in hand. Considering the awful start we had, that's a pretty good position.

As happy as I am that Chelsea havn't already left everyone in their dust (like they already had last year at this stage), and that Arsenal are getting some wins together, I still think it's fruitless to hope anyone will seriously challenge Chelsea over the whole season.

I felt that Chelsea's goal should be fouled...Terry fouled the keeper...and nice heared from agbonlahor nice one...and luckily Arsenal did just good enough to secure 3 points man I'm so nervous during the whole 90 minutes

Seeing as I'm still relatively new to the EPL, this is really only my 2nd year seriously following it, I must say, I'm enjoying this season. No team has truly come out and run away with it yet, which makes for many more exciting matches and there have been a lot of surprises (Villa, Everton, Bolton), some slow starts (Liverpool seems like it's stuck between two gears) and some REAL disappointment, (Spurs anyone?). Chelsea does look like the team to beat, but it's still early and there's time for other squads to elevate their play.
One question though:
I'm still a little in the dark about all these 'Cups' that the teams are playing for outside of the Champions league and obviously the Premiership. For instance, what's the Carling Cup?
As a Yank with only a few matches broadcasting live to my home, I'm doing my best but it seems like every time I finally get a grasp on all the elements, something new pops up.
Take care all.
I'll do my best to provide a brief explanation:
The two major domestic cups are the F.A. Cup and the Carling Cup. The F.A. Cup is the more presitigious of the two, since it's been around since 1871, before a football league even existed. The F.A. Cup begins with a qualifying section, in which all of the "non-league" teams (everyone outside of the top four divisions) compete for a place in the first round proper. At this point, the teams from Leagues 1 and 2 (which rather confusingly are the third and fourth highest divisions) are introduced into the draw. In the third round, the remaining teams (from the Premiership and Championship) are added into the mix. The whole thing is a straight knockout competition, and since games are randomly drawn (there's no seeding system) there's every chance that Manchester United could end up playing an amateur non-league side in the third round.
The Carling Cup has been through many names, since the sponsor changes every couple of seasons. The official name is the Football League Cup. It's similar to the F.A. Cup in format, although no non-league teams are allowed to enter, so there's no qualifying stage. The trophy isn't as highly sought-after as the F.A. Cup, since it doesn't have the same history. Because of this, the biggest clubs tend to use this competition as a chance to rest their best players, and give a chance to their reserve line-up. It's hardly a worthless trophy, and it's a good chance for some of the mid-table Premiership sides to grab some silverware. Nevertheless, it's very much the secondary cup competition.

Just to add on to Cz's explanation, though the League Cup is largely treated as a chance tby the bigger clubs to give reserves and youngsters a run-out, in recent years it has still been frequently won by the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd. On a similar note the FA Cup has largely been dominated by the 'Big Four' of Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in recent years.

Thanks guys!
Take care all.
Well, I wasn't expecting anything more from Newcastle Utd today.
2-0 back to the top
Watching Cristiano Ronaldo trying to shoot is hilarity, the man can't get a shot on target to save his life.
Also the winner of the Carling Cup, gets a automatic place into next season's UEFA Cup.
Anyways, Blackburn won again! McCarthy with 4 goals in 5 games and 9th in the league, bring on Liverpool in two weeks!
Martin O Neill, what's the big deal about him?
Somebody tell me for crying out loud, I don't understand, even my mum claims he's a good manager. He's a pretty good analysist for the BBC but other than that what extraordinary things has he done to deserve such a reputation?
...Geddit?
