Yep, the second penalty was legit, he clipped Gabby's knee right before he got his foot on the ball. For all the moaning Arsenal fans are doing about the officiating, Chezney should have seen red for the first penalty, it was a clear as day takedown...

You're right, the US is not a democracy. It's a republic Or use to be, I guess it's more of a Corporatocracy now... Yep, and it's only going to get worse. In 25 years, the middle class will be completely destroyed, with a massive underclass and exploding Hispanic immigrant population fighting each other for basic service type jobs while the elites marvel at their handiwork.

And we might not even be done shopping!

I dropped Silva for Cazorla, and gave Cazorla the "C" Thankfully I had RVP, Benteke and Nolan to keep me in the top 70. Wondering if Villa and Chelsea players earn us points this Wed.?

Very pleased with NBC so far. Much more polished than FSC, no goofy Canadians and only one goofy American so far that I've noticed doing any kind of reporting. Robbie Mustoe is very likable, and Robbie Earle is too, Mustoe offering better analysis. Good stuff so far!

A draw would be a massive result. Chelsea are miles ahead of Arsenal. That said, 2-3 to the Villa

It'll be interesting to see how my generation responds to the Social Security well having run dry by the time we reach the age to collect. I've been paying into SS for 28 years, and will continue for another 20, at the very least. Imagine thousands of 60 year olds rioting in the streets

Great to finally see Delph come into his own. Fingers crossed he stays healthy, because if his form continues, and his confidence grows, the sky is the limit on the kid. Very fluid movement with the ball, he's got a gracefullness about him that you don't see in too many players.

I've been smiling all day today...what a great start to the season. I hope Mourinho is bricking it right now, regretting having moved the match up to Wednesday. Villa aren't a soft touch anymore. Imagine if we beat Chelsea? WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Gooooose!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I thought we could score a couple of goals, but thought Arsenal would at least equal our tally. Harsh penalty for our second goal, but their keeper should have seen a red card for the first penalty. All in all, we deserved to win. Fantastic start to the season, let's hope it carries over to Wednesday. Mourinho might just regret moving the game up. Gabby MOTM for his runs into the box, they just couldn't deal with him. The first two goals are down to Gabby. Delph a close second for an incredibly poised and classy display. If he keeps that level of play up, it'll be like a brand new signing. Guzan was immense too, he's staking a claim for best keeper in the league, IMO. Massive win, now, over to you, Randy Lerner. Two more signings please... UTV!

The referee is an idiot

I never really paid much attention to Jackson Browne over the years, but I've recently kind of had an awakening and a newfound appreciation for the guy. They used to play this track a lot back in the day. Super catchy guitar line:

Yep, all those libertarian gun loons don't look that unreasonable when considering the size and scope of Big Brother, and the light that has been shed on the sinister nature of what they're doing. The people's paranoia has been justified. The constitution is dissolving before our eyes, civil rights are being suspended, police departments across the country have become militarized, the DHS has bought millions of rounds of armor piercing bullets, domestic surveillance drones are being retrofitted with weaponry...the future is bleak.

2-2

RVP

Yeah, I think this is the year West Brom regress. I doubt they'll be relegated, but next year is a distinct possibility.

Bale has misplayed this in spectacular fashion. He should have looked at Benteke's about-face and thought better of trying to force a move through. Now he's hanging in the wind, in purgatory. Greed is NOT good, after all.

I hope he fails so hard that he's loaned out to Scunthorpe in January

Another example of the beginning of the end of internet freedom...sad, but predictable

I think we should bring back the black socks from the 30's and 40's, and from a couple of years ago too... Home: Claret and blue top, blue on sleeves only; white shorts, black socks Away: White top, blue shorts, claret socks Change: Black top, black shorts, claret socks

Considering there are hundreds of billions of galaxies as big or bigger than our own, it's hard to imagine that there aren't intelligent life forms out there...

Life must get a little boring in Idaho
