Weekend Premier League

[jonahjones]

James Beattie puts ten-man Stoke 1-0 up at home to Manchester City in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time.

[Win2Win]

So that puts Stoke in a UEFA place......straight from the relegation zone!

[jonahjones]

City lose to the worst team in the Premier League (in terms of quality) despite playing fifty three minutes against ten men.

The man sent-off is Stoke's most potent weapon.

It takes City until the ninety-third minute to muster a shot on target and that was via a deflection.

Now if only they had some money to improve the squad!

They are aren't they, no heart at all. Long may it continue I say. :wink

Agreed Scoob.

I am kicking myself as City have been poor on their travels this season and I haven't just opposed them away from home, I have backed the opposition.

For some reason, I backed a draw today. :(

I did 1-0 Stoke on IKTS but didnt think that was possible when they went down to 10, City fans must despair! :D Hey your team look a bit big for the draw tonight jj, much as I want Utd to win 5-0 again :) I just think the draw is a bit big for this match?

I'm hoping your right, and the wife's voodoo should help :wink

[jonahjones]

Andy Johnson matches the achievement of his former Everton strike-partner James Beattie and puts Fulham a goal ahead at home to Portsmouth.

[jonahjones]

Bolton take the lead at home to Spurs thanks to Sebastien Puygrenier.

As much as I'd love a draw Scoob, most of our midfield are either absolutely shattered and/or carrying injuries.

Leon Osman, for example, should have had a hernia operation in October/November but he hasn't been able to because we are so short of numbers. He has been running on empty in recent weeks.

I expect as many as Cahill, Arteta and Fellaini to miss the game through injury and wouldn't be surprised if others were rested.

[jonahjones]

Hull go ahead at home to West Brom on the stroke of half-time courtesy of Bernard Mendy.

[jonahjones]

West Brom equalise at the KC Stadium with on-loan Jay Simpson's first ever Premier League goal.

[jonahjones]

Bolton increase their lead at home to Spurs with Kevin Davies notching his second goal in as many games.

[jonahjones]

Fulham pile on the misery for Portsmouth with a goal from Erik Nevland and Hull re-take the lead at home to West Brom thanks to a goal from Craig Fagan.

[jonahjones]

Spurs pull a goal back at the Reebok courtesy of substitute Darren Bent who then equalises immediately!

West Brom are back on level terms at the KC following a Chris Brunt penalty.

[jonahjones]

Erik Nevland bags his second which means Fulham now lead Portsmouth 3-0.

[jonahjones]

Portsmouth net a consolation goal at Craven Cottage through David Nugent.

[jonahjones]

Bolton go ahead again at home to Spurs with Kevin Davies heading his second of the game.

[jonahjones]

Full-time results in 3.00pm kick-offs:-

Arsenal 0 West Ham 0
Aston Villa 0 Wigan 0
Bolton 3 Spurs 2
Fulham 3 Portsmouth 1
Hull 2 West Brom 2
Middlesbrough 0 Blackburn 0

Arsene Wenger only has himself to blame as he inexplicably decides to start without Robin van Persie.

[jonahjones]

Manchester United take the lead on the stroke of half-time with a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. :(

pen or no pen jj?

I thought it was outside the box at first but he does hang his leg out and appears to catch him inside the box. Two stupid penalties conceded in two seasons at OT. :(

I thought we had done well until that point. Frustrated we couldn't hold-out until half-time because it wouldn't have flattered us.

of course it was..

[jonahjones]

Because it was at Old Trafford. :)

Listening on radio so didnt see it. What happened to him resting a few others for the other scousers in the week? :)

[Win2Win]
