    Arsenal v Southampton, League Cup 3rd Round

    Should be a humdinger. Excited at the chance to see Diaby injure himself in real life, plus just how prevalent the Soton cut is these days. Oh, and that World Cup goalie who was decent and Joel Campbell - WIN.

    Royter-Hatfood | 23 Sep '14, 11:29 | X
  • Phil Neville:

    "I know United have spent £150m, I think there’s another two transfer windows of similar amounts of money needed – maybe £100m – before they can even think about winning the title.

    There are still key positions in the team that need filling. I think the centre-back position is obviously the key area. Holding midfield or centre midfield needs addressing too.

    There were no world-class centre-backs out there [this summer]. I think that’s why in the next two transfer windows, United might still be looking for that world-class defender.

    I am certain Chris Smalling will come good and I have full faith in Phil Jones as well. They’ve bought of a lot of foreign players, you don’t get rid of your English spine."

      • I reckon Jones will do alright if he manages to get to the top of the brain donation list.

        I caught extended highlights of the Leicester game last night and I really am going to have to try and watch every United game until January when presumably the fun will stop. I don't think I have ever seen a more top heavy side in the Premiership...ever, it's like a turbo-fuelled Kevin Keegan City. Win or lose they will be incredible to watch. Whatever the price, Real Madrid were nuts to let di Maria go.

          While the odd fan is complaining about the results, "worse than Moyes" etc., I'm just glad our games aren't painfully fucking boring this year. Moyesball was unbearable. We've already got enough quality tied down to long term contracts that we'll be back eventually, and we're playing some sexy football at times.

          I might as well just buckle in and enjoy the ride, even if it does mean another mid-table finish.

  • Any chance of any shocks in the League Cup?

    These prices all seem a bit too long to me given the home sides will all play weakened elevens, and the away sides are all in okay form (i guess, can't be arsed checking).

    Southampton to win at Arsenal - 3/1
    Boro to win at Liverpool - 6/1
    Sheff Weds to win at Man City - 18/1
    Forest to win at Spurs - 5/1

    pencils | 23 Sep '14, 18:06 | X
    • While noting this is in no way giving tacit approval to betting chat in these threads

      Forest beating Spurs must be at least a better than remote possibility?

      If West Brom can do it - given they're probably only about a handful of places above them in the current league ladder, and will probably be swapping leagues with them come May - they can probably do it.

      p.s. I know nothing about odds

  • This guy I know is on death row in Texas, and is being executed tomorrow.

    He's a massive, MASSIVE Arsenal fan. Used to talk about Joel Campbell before anyone had heard of him. Loves the guy but has never seen him in a first team game. And being inside he obviously doesn't get to see the Gunners as much as he'd like to.

    He's finished his last meal but the stiffs have stopped his privileges there and won't allow one last hurrah watching his beloved Arsenal on American TV. He's been left alone with his laptop though and I've promised to do all I can to find him a link to watch the game. It's his last game, so obviously we're talking HD.

    Can anyone help this guy out and post a link?

    Oh, and he's in for murdering a few Mexicans - hates the Latin languages with a passion - so please don't post any links with Spanish commentary, something bad might happen in Texas.

      • tbf the odds suffered from Norwich's knack for producing these results

        my dad's a Norwich fan and it feels like every time they play a lower league team I get a chance to go on the wind-up

        • aye always getting knocked out by lower leagues

          • Hope you guys make it back up

            I've been basically stockholm syndromed into always looking out for your results. Think we're going to some sort of fancy hospitality thing to celebrate the old fellas 50th.
