Weekend Premier League

[mathare]

Mat, I hadn't seen any of your posts from today but I remember last week you posting that you would be on the draw in this game.

I'm on most Premiership and SPL draws at the minute. Not all of them though because of the way the system works - it has a cutoff after which point I stop backing teams to draw. Chelsea had been driving me crazy with their lack of draws which had seen their original stake of 25p rise to over £288 for this match! I do NOT recommend this sort of staking to anyone who doesn't have balls of steel. I don't class myself as such a person but I have done many hours of research into this system and various scenarios, including extended runs of non-draws, long before I put a penny down on it so I knew what I was getting myself into. That still don't stop me being a little nervous this afternoon though. It's a good job I was out from about 3pm to 4.30pm with the missus else I would have gone slowly mad as the goals went in

Flippin nora though. You had £288 on the draw for the Chelsea game? :D

Gabby Agbonlahor gives Aston Villa the lead against Manchester United at Old Trafford after twenty one minutes.

Yes. Ever so slightly larger than my normal bet that one

Look on the bright side. Unless you have been married for upwards of twenty six years, they've never previously been able to gloat about winning on your patch. :)

All I have to do now is wait about 20 hours for Liverpool to lose since we have improved :splapme

I know I mentioned it earlier in the thread but if you have not yet seen Wigan's second goal then it really is worth looking out for in my opinion.

Thanks for reminder J... MOTD starts in 10 minutes so I'll watch it then.

Hmmm. Yeah, good goal. He's no David Beckham though.

Funniest thing I've seen in football in a while was Ferguson's fit when the fourth official showed 3 minutes of injury last night. Hilarious

But there had been 6 subs, and couple of injuries. Should've been 9 minutes at least.

He should have displayed "PUE" play until equaliser :wink :D

Utd would never have scored last night Matt, if they had played until 9pm I reckon. Can't remember Villa getting out of their half in the 2nd half but Utd were just not good enough to equalise. But with Chelsea drawing,it is not nearly as bad as it could've been.

[MattR]

Yeah I think you're right. Actually with Chelsea's recent defensive slump, Villa probably have the best defence at the moment amongst the top few.

It didn't do us any favours with Wolves winning yesterday but I had to laugh that they beat Spurs :wink Even we beat Wolves

Dirk Kuyt gives Liverpool the lead against Arsenal at Anfield in the forty first minute.

I never realised that Richard Dunne was as quick as that...great signing for Villa and good value as well compared to Lescott.

[jonahjones]

A Glen Johnson own-goal equalises for Arsenal at Anfield after forty nine minutes.

[jonahjones]

Andrei Arshavin gives Arsenal the lead at Anfield after fifty seven minutes.

That should count as 2 goals

Maynor Figueroa scores one of the most amazing goals I have ever seen with a free-kick inside his own half on seventy two minutes!

Just seen this on YouTube - what a strike. Amazing confidence too.

It would appear that Saturday was the day for this type of thing.

Fast-forward to around 1 minute 50 seconds:-

Figueroa's was better but that was not at all bad.

Things seem to be happening in clutches: goals like that, missed penalties, 3-3 draws
