Actually the last three Arsenal goals were in the 87th, 88th, and 90th. It should have been a 1-1 draw the way Arsenal played for the first 86 minutes.

I have Univision, FSN, and the ESPNs. I know all about these things two ways

1) Websites like soccernet.com and soccerage.com

2) Hours upon hours of playing Championship Manager

Well, 4-0 for Arsenal is 4-0 ! And a bet is a bet, and that I won ( bet was against a friend ), cause I said the first player would be from Arsenal.
And yes, I am an Arsenal supporter, but a realistic one !

By the way, where's all the action in the forums at these days ?

Chelsea 1 NEWCASTLE 1

The toon army get a good away point at stamford bridge, with several first team players out...

Canoe!! I remember you from a looooooong time ago. The majority of the posts are in the FIFA 2001 forum, but the FIFA 2002 forum is getting close to number of posts per day.

I still don't understand why post football-related stories here.. It would have been much better to post them on the FIFA01, or 02 forum -- just like old times with a good balance of offtopic posts and FIFA related posts..

sigh.


Just seen Everton-Tottenham game on the Fox Sports World.. good game, only that the ref was dumb -- he gave the penalty to Everton without any reason; Campbell played very poorly today and he just fell with good marking of Doherty. But the ref not only gave the penalty to Everton, but also sent off Doherty, who was the player of the game at the time.. And later gave yellows to Ziege and Sherringham (who also had a poor game) for arguing (and they weren't arguing -- they were talking, maybe were unhappy, but not arguing).. It is not Russian Premiership, it is ENGLISH Premiership, why the hell is the ref so stupid?

much agreed. He was a complete wanker! AWFUL...

But my Spurs have certainly made me mighty proud.

Especially our defence and our young English U21 defender.
