A few photos from the Gateshead v Droylsden game.:

Look at the state of the pitch, they are puddles in the middle.

Comedy line of the season already announced, goes to Steve McManaman for this beauty.

"Out of the top 4, Liverpool have the best squad".

:D
 
Bloody Blackburn.
Yeah saw a bit of that, decent game, some good goals too.

More like bloody talksport anyway. The only presenter who talks some sense, Terry Christian and he gets replaced by bloody Stan Collymore. Obviously they had previously forgotten the media rule that pundits must have scouse connections, luckily for them they have put that right meaning they wont get banned.
 
What a goal by Fernando Torres today. His first chance in the game and he scores. Fantastic stuff.
 
We got prawned. Arteta's goal was awesome though.

Was always going to happen though. a) New managers always win their first game b) he's black so it would have been racist had we not let them win and c) our bench was a creche.
 
Lynn remain unbeaten in Conference North and are still looking for their first win - after a game which looked to have been lost after Lynn had been forced into a double substitution following a clash of head between Simon Weaver and Jack Defty.

An early chance saw a Michael Frew cross go just behind the waiting Jack Defty but first half chances were at a premium. Droyslden settled and edged possession but rarely threatened in the final third.

Lynn took the lead on 33 minutes when Julian Joachim beat his defender on the Lynn left and crossed to give Jack Defty a simple tap in.

Minutes later the same player could have doubled the lead as Droyslden keeper Kennedy came out to cut out a Sedgemore cross but Defty got a foot to it first - his lob going just over.

Half-time substitute David Bridgwater headed over in the opening minutes but it was the visitors who still bossed the game and following the double substitution just past the hour mark it began to look as if Lynn would be fighting a rearguard action.

On 70 minutes the visitors drew level, Townson nipping in on Camm's weak back header to lift over Howie.

Seven minutes later the visitors were in front following another mistake. Howie came out to punch clear but missed and Lamb was on hand to put the ball over his head.

Defeat looked likely but with a minute remaining Crane's knockdown was fumbled by Kennedy and Danny Bloomfield scored from close in.
Lynn grew in confidence and Bridgwater shot just over but a victory would not have been deserved.
 
Coloccin and Gutierez are class. As for the refereeing at Old Trafford, well that's not so class. Nice to know that the opposition still aren't allowed to be given a penalty at Old Trafford.

And you have to admit, Chelsea looked absolutely awesome today.

evertonfan added 2 Minutes and 57 Seconds later...

And Stu for the life of me I can't remember what WUM stands for. Also, I have no credit left. :p
 
Wind Up Mergent.

I'm over the moon with that result. Cast-iron penalty turned down and finally a defence which looks fairly solid. Guttierrez is the best buy we've made since Shearer. We've needed a player like that for some time. Someone who can change the pace of a game in a heartbeat, great footballer he looks. Bring on the Hull.
