English Premier League: 12/12, 13/12, 15/12 & 16/12

[TheStinger]

ManUre are obviously still potent going forward but hopefully we can exploit their makeshift defence and get a few cheapies on them. 2-2 at Old Trafford would be good for us.

 

[Embers]

VERY important 3 days upcoming, should be all fit bar Coledinho and Behrami. Hopefully Zola comes to his senses and gives Diamanti a start sooner rather than later. If Upson and Diamanti start im confident we can win both games

 

[jd2006]

Can any Spurs (or other) fan tell me how far away Modric is from playing?

Modric to be in the squad for the Wolves game. Read somewhere he will have some more game time in that match and hopefully a start against City

 

[Copulator]

Not really going out on a limb here, but Robbie Keane to play against Wolves and score a hattrick, then disappear against City mid week.

Once again the best game is the late game

I read that Upson has failed to overcome his hamstring problem, and won't play.

Also says Cole, Behrami, Hines and Jimenez are out.

 

[moomba]

Next few days will tell a lot about where we are as a team.

It would be typical City to beat Arsenal convincingly, beat Chelsea convincingly and then lose to Bolton. If we can get the three points there and keep up the momentum from the last week I think things will be really positive at the club.

Then Spuds, the team that we never really have any joy against (save FA Cup, 3-0 down at half time with 10 men type games), and I reckon now are the favourites for 4th spot. Knock them off away, and it will do our chances the world of good, I'd take a draw if you offered it to me today.

Wigan take the early lead thanks to a header from Boyce

 

[divvydan]

Tuncay equalised with a fairly soft goal

 

[Bartram_Class]

You've got to love Tuncay, gives everything.

Oh my word, what a goal.

 

[Pie Legend]

Stoke really putting on the pressure now. They have easily been the better side this half. Tuncay has been in the thick of the action

EDIT: Just as I post that, Figueroa pulls one out of the magic bag. Stunning goal.

 

[divvydan]

Unbelievable!!!

 

[Lowie01]

There's your goal of the season! Wow!

(For those that didn't see it, Maynor Figueroa quickly took a free kick from inside his own half and lobbed Sorensen, with the ball landing in the back of the net. Amazing.)

 

[beez]

**** me! That was amazing

 

[TheStinger]

There's your goal of the season! Wow!

Oh my giddy aunt. That was just crazy. Sorenson would never have thought Figueroa would shoot from there.

And now Stoke are back level. Shawcross heads it home. 2-2.

 

[Bartram_Class]

It was barely even a lob, he drove the thing.

 

[divvydan]

Shawcross levels from a corner

 

[Lowie01]

And now 2-2! Shawcross heads home a corner. What a little cracker this game has turned into.

 

[Pie Legend]

Shawcross now! 2-2, game on!

 

[divvydan]

It was barely even a lob, he drove the thing.

That was the amazing thing, that distance in such a short space of time, incredible technique

 

[Benno_900]

Andy Wilkinson is probably the biggest thug in the league. **** off.

 

[Subaru Impreza]

contender for goal of the season? by Figueroea?

 

[divvydan]

Penalty for wigan, was offside too

 

[Lowie01]

That was a terrible penalty by Rodallega, regardless of Sorensen being off his line or not.

 

[TorresIsGod]

The penalty was right, but he was offside originally.

Terrible penalty.

 

[Pie Legend]

Penatly! Rodellega step ups...saved!
