One of the few positives from yesterday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I dunno why great things down by 'average' players are over-looked all the time. Talking of Messi... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) @ Barcelona last night! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Found it.

It's a highlights clip, the play is on 2:50 and the replay on 3:27.

Match-report from a very entertaining game at VP tonight in the reserve league. Positives for both teams as it's the first games Freddie Bouma and Michael Essien have played since their big injuries in the summer, good to see them both back!

QUOTE
VILLA 4-3 Chelsea

Wilfred Bouma couldn't have picked a better game in which to make his return as Villa beat Chelsea 4-3 in a cracking encounter.

Kevin MacDonald's men showed tremendous resolve as they twice came from behind before storming to victory.

Patrick van Aanholt opened the scoring on three minutes as he fired past Stuart Taylor, following a fantastic pass from Miroslav Stoch.

But Nathan Delfouneso restored parity with a smart finish from Marlon Harewood's impressive centre on 20 minutes.

Jacob Mellis headed home on 35 minutes to give Chelsea the lead but it lasted less than a minute as Jonathan Hogg slotted past Aldi Haxhia.

Barry Bannan's left-footed free-kick a minute before half-time slammed against the crossbar but Ciaran Clark was on hand to give Villa the lead.

Delfouneso scored his second of the night on 82 minutes with a thumping strike before Michael Essien set up a nervy few minutes with a deflected goal three minutes from time.

But the home side managed to pick up all three points and cement their position at the top of the FA Premier Reserve League.

How much longer will AIG be able to afford to keep their logo on ManU's jerseys?

Not much longer. I think it's already been announced they won't renew.

Great news, it's a shame Sky aren't allowed all 6 though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

QUOTE
BSkyB have secured the rights to five of the six packages to broadcast live Premier League football in the UK from the 2010-11 season to the end of 2012-13, with Setanta claiming the sixth.

The Premier League confirmed the overall value of the six packages, which each contains 23 live games, is £1.782bn. That represents an increase of £76m (5%) on the deal struck for the seasons from 2007-8 to 2000-10, a fractional rise considering the huge climbs in TV revenue since the Premier League began in 1992 though the parlous economic situation means any increase will be welcomed by the 20 clubs set to divvy up the monies.

Setanta have held on to the Saturday evening slot but the Monday night match has returned to Sky. The BBC retained their highlights package at a cost of £173m last month.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The Barclays Premier League is a fantastic competition.

"The continued investment in playing talent and facilities made by the clubs is largely down to the revenue generated through the sale of our broadcast rights.

"The live UK rights are the largest contribution to the revenues we distribute centrally to the clubs and this deal gives them the stability to plan and invest in the most important aspect of our business - the football - everything else flows from that.

"I look forward to continuing our good working relationship with BSkyB and Setanta who both provide excellent programming for fans of Premier League football.

"I would also like to thank all of those broadcasters who took part in the bidding process."

An ESPN spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we did bid for Premier League rights and we are therefore disappointed in the outcome. But we were pleased to be at the table and we would like to congratulate Sky and Setanta.

"ESPN will continue to look for ways to serve the UK sports fan through our various platforms already in the UK (ESPN Classic, ESPN America and our digital properties, Cricinfo.com, ESPNscrum.com, ESPN360.com, ESPNsoccernet.com and Racing-live.com)."

WBA-Arsenal on at the moment.

Looked bad for Villa when Bendtner scored after 4 minutes, Chris Brunt equalised 3 minuts later. I'll need a shower after this game, I feel so wrong being happy that Albion scored. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

****. Toure, 2-1. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Bendtner again, 3-1. Can never rely on West Brom to do anything but be ****. Oh well, at least by not doing us a favour they're practically sending themself down back to where they belong. Enjoy playing Blues next season!

10 minutes to go, Chelsea score through Drogba. Liverpool lead 2-0 with 2nd half goals from N'gog and Benayoun. If we don't win tomorrow, I lose all hope of finishing 4th and will start to worry about 5th place. Given ours and Evertons run-in, I think 6th is a very likely possibility.

Does this mean, he's going to start again about how he should be the first choice striker in every match? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Well Man City have just scored a 2nd late on, SWP, that pretty much seals our 5th/6th place. Dunno what's wrong with us, to long a season, tiredness? God knows, not good enough though. Barry, Petrov, Young all gone? We're fucked. Well done Arsenal.

You should not have snubbed the UEFA Cup! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But it's certainly not over yet trigger-happy boy! The only thing you have done wrong was dropping two points last matchday. I know you have a tough schedule up ahead but now is when you prove you deserve to be there. If you think your team was there by luck then you don't deserve to see them finish in the top 4 places.

Ah... it's so easy to play it smart when your team's not involved! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
