Cobb Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Clint Dempsey scores again! This time to tie the game against Chelsea today. Really just an unbelievable season he is having this year. 16 goals in the Premier League and 22 goals in all competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 ^ OMG! We got another soccer fan! Welcome to the discussion, young Skywalker*!! Edit: *No pun, bro. Re-EDIT:OH ME OH MY, YOU GOTTA BE OUR FIRST AND ONLY FAN FROM ULSTER!!! COOL!! I had to make a project for a European country and I chose... N. Ireland! Pity Northern Ireland has a terrible football team Not a massive fan of Internationals anyway. Mainly support Southampton! Liverpool FINALLY get a win against Blackburn. A great start going 2-0 up, both goals from Maxi Rodriquez. Then Doni goes and gets himself sent off, with Yakubu missing the penalty. Yak then headed in before half-time, then scored another penalty later on. At 2-2, Andy Carroll gets the winner in the 90th minute. That may get a few Liverpool fans on his side after being on his back for so long. I hope the goal gives him a bit of confidence and he finishes the season well. Who knows? If he goes back to the old Newcastle Carroll he could be on the plane to the European Championships with England! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Man I really hate not being able to watch games during the week. Somehow Manchester United falls to Wigan 1-0, while Manchester City blasts West Bromwich 4-0. United's lead now down to just 5 points and the title race just got a tad bit more interesting. One more misstep from United and the Manchester derby could be the deciding factor in who wins the league. The 4-0 victory over West Bromwich helps City even more if goal differential is needed.

Cobb Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 What a performance by Manchester City on the road! 6-1 win today against Norwich reminds me of the 6-1 win at Old Trafford earlier in the season. ^_^ Carlos Tevez looks to be back in form scoring a hat trick and Sergio Aguero was phenomenal as well. All the pressure is on Man Utd now to win their game tomorrow against Aston Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The title race is alive again as Manchester United draws with Everton 4-4 and Manchester City beat Wolves 2-0. It looks like the Manchester derby will indeed be the deciding factor in who wins the league. Also, Robin van Persie wins PFA Player of the Year award. The Premier League team of the year is: Joe Hart (Man City)Kyle Walker (Tottenham), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Leighton Baines (Everton)David Silva (Man City), Yaya Toure (Man City), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Scott Parker (Tottenham)Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd).

Blazed49 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Gotta go city as well. Don't really get to catch too many games but whenever they're actually on I'm watching. So I don't know too much about what's going but have been a fan of tevez for like 2 years or so(mainly due to using him in fifa) and just now saw aguero who is also a beast.

Cobb Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Really? No red card ever? Wow, that's impressive. Looking forward to Fulham/Everton later today with Dempsey and Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Torres with a hat trick today against QPR. For the limited amount of time I was able to watch, QPR was just awful They played with no fight whatsoever, which is kind of surprising considering they're on the brink of relegation. Manchester derby is tomorrow at 3:00pm ET! While Manchester United has the experience, Manchester City has the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Race for the last Champions League spot just got more interesting as Arsenal draws 3-3 with Norwich. While they were looking like the favorites going into the game today, they are now the outsiders. Defense was again the problem for Arsenal. It was absolutely atrocious at times.
