[Marc Overmars]

So do Sky have all the Saturday evening kick offs now and BT the lunchtime games?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah. Means I can leave Soccer Saturday on TV now I suppose.

[Marc Overmars]

Happy Sky have the evening games as there's usually sod all to watch on Saturday. Not counting Soccer Saturday as that's on the background.

[LDG]

It's on!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You can get SS1 for Saturday on Sky2 (VM) or Pick TV (Freeview), so will be able to watch Leeds v Sheff Weds and Swansea v United.

[LDG]

I'll be in the pub drowning my sorrows with FY, Letters, Adzz and Ollie, the latter of whom obviously try to put a positive spin on a 0-1 loss at home to Villa.

:wwf:

[Cripps_orig]

Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday :lol:

10 years ago that was a PL match. Now it's in some league no one knows of

[Cripps_orig]

I'll be in the pub drowning my sorrows with FY, Letters, Adzz and Ollie, the latter of whom obviously try to put a positive spin on a 0-1 loss at home to Villa.

:wwf:
Have you not seen Ollies posts last day or so?

[LDG]

Have you not seen Ollies posts last day or so?

He's only keeping it all in so he doesn't get bullied.

It'll have to burst out somewhere.

[GP]

I'm installing a TV at Beachy Head.

[Özim]

I'll be in the pub drowning my sorrows with FY, Letters, Adzz and Ollie, the latter of whom obviously try to put a positive spin on a 0-1 loss at home to Villa.

:wwf:

Which one are you, the one with the funny voice or the one with the hoody thing?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuUMpuRgQmw

[Cripps_orig]

Bale is out of the Palace match.

Ffs.

Need to change my FFL team

[LDG]

Which one are you, the one with the funny voice or the one with the hoody thing?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuUMpuRgQmw

No.

I'm the one at your house, shagging your missus.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well someone has to.


Anyway, for Rors mainly probably, BT Sport is free for anyone with TV XL on VirginMedia, but £15/month if you don't...

[LDG]

Is it possible to get an app for Smart TV do you know?

I have log-in details for BT Sport online.....

Can always HDMI it from the laptop I guess....just shitter quality is all.

[Özim]

No.

I'm the one at your house, shagging your missus.

Can't be my house as I'm there at the moment, feel sorry for the poor bloke whose missus you're doing though.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I don't think there's a TV app yet, so to the laptop it'd have to be.

There is one to a tablet though, if you have one of those.

[LDG]

:good:

I knew I should have gone for BT infinity....mind you, fuckin price for speed akin to what I get on normal Sky Broadband seemed ridiculous.

Meh.

May switch to BT when the contract runs out later in the year.

[Master Splinter]

Seeing an early season block of Saturday afternoon fixtures is still somewhat exciting.

Until we bring the mood down with our 12-man squad struggling against Villa.

There's usually a shock result in the opening weekend. Either a promoted team going apeshit or a big team losing. Come on Chamakh and Swansea.

[Munchies]

How many players will be on our bench ? Especially those we've never heard of before

[Cripps_orig]

We're going to see pubbers like Gnabry and Eisfeld on the bench.

The first team has to do it cos there'll be f all on the bench

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm liking this Ted Lasso...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cardiff will have Nadal in midfield according to the Sky Sports drone.

[LDG]

Cardiff will have Nadal in midfield according to the Sky Sports drone.

Typical. We can't even compete with Cardiff now.

All we have is an ijured Verdasco :(

[Syn]

Really looking forward to seeing how Cardiff get on. McKay is a mentalist. Think they're going to start kicking the shit out of everyone, like Stoke before their fans turned them into pussies.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Typical. We can't even compete with Cardiff now.

All we have is an ijured Verdasco :(

Verdasco. :lol:

As a great man once said, what a bottler.

[Master Splinter]

Will Savage predict relegation for Villa if they lose at Arsenal and Chelsea?

[Munchies]

Verdasco. :lol:

As a great man once said, what a bottler.

Arteta's hair :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne is a centrehalf, Laudrup signed Medel.

BBC research. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher the lead man? Neville. :lol:

[Rors]

I think Redknapp needs to listen to and adhere to this, and fast :sick: :

"Don't need no skintights in my wardrobe today.."

[Rors]

Soccer AM back again?! :rolleyes:

[Rors]

David James getting the season off to a flyer...:

"[Anfield] literally made the hairs on my end"

:wacko:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:sick:


We're gonna win the treble :scarf:

Mignolet, Enrique, Agger, Toure, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Aspas, Coutinho, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Jones, Wisdom, Allen, Alberto, Ibe, Sterling, Borini.

[Rors]

Football Focus to kick things off for me I think...

[Rors]

Same intro...

[Rors]

Savage and the supposedly lesser-role-reduced Lawro. What joy.

[Cripps_orig]

Savage and Lawro look in top form tbh

[Rors]

Savage and Lawro look in top form tbh

Oh yes. "First and foremost, you have to defend, because...*trails off* "

[Rors]

Shearer and Murphy on MOTD :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reunited played on Soccer Saturday. :lol:

Not the Faith No More version sadly.

[Rors]

Guy Moybray and John Hartson at the Emirates doing a piece n goal line technology.

[Cripps_orig]

It works

Now for the main event

Ian Holloway :bow:

[Rors]

It works

Now for the main event

Ian Holloway :bow:

:banghead:

[Rors]

"Holloway's not a comedian". Ain't that the truth...

[Cripps_orig]

FFS he says he's not going to be as comedic.

Football just died a little :rose:

[Rors]

FFS he says he's not going to be as comedic.

Football just died a little :rose:

:woohoo:

[Cripps_orig]

Some pub teamer on now

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

As a great man once said, lets twat these twats!

[Rors]

For those 'lucky' enough to have BT Sport, who have they got behind the mic?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Owen FFS :banghead:

Ian Darke and Halsey :blink:

[Rors]

Owen on co-commentary?!!

[Cripps_orig]

Forgot to put Coutinho in my FFL team. Will I regret it?

As for Owen, if he's as good as the like of shearer, Hansen, Keane, Neville etc then it's all good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He was doing it during pre-season. He wasn't very good.

Also, Kolo defending set-pieces against Stoke. :popcorn:

[Rors]

As for Owen, if he's as good as the like of shearer, Hansen, Keane, Neville etc then it's all good.

:console:

[Rors]

Also, Kolo defending set-pieces against Stoke. :popcorn:


Them's were the days

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Them's were the days

They still are, for some....

[Niall_Quinn]

Owen FFS :banghead:

Ian Darke and Halsey :blink:

Fuck that shit! And there's no special button to switch him off, you have to kill the sound entirely. Which means all you can do is watch our football. Fuck that shit!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Stoke counter attacking :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pieters. :haha:

Absolute shit.

[Rors]

Wait, wait..Mark Halsey?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoof whacked the bar.

[Rors]

They still are, for some....

He'll "do a job for you"

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Are SSN not even allowed into BT games? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Sturridge. :lol:

And yes the McInally report on his own in the studio was a bit awkward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Virtually impossible to defend says Owen. Well, not accounting for the offside...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolo hits the bar, Sturridge belts it over! :haha:

[GP]

Quite happy I don't have BT sport tbh

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Shut the fuck up Owen.

[GP]

Quite happy I don't have BT sport tbh

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds in the relegation zone as it stands. :lol:

[GP]

Crouch :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho to Aspas, Begovic saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho curls it, waaay away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Begovic to deny Jose Enrique.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Begovic saves again, this time from Aspas!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it Walters you idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sturridge goes for glory, another save from Begovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Stoke, Sturridge.

[Marc Overmars]

Think he's going to have a pretty good season.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fuck, they're going to overtake us aren't they? :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mignolet saves from Walters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck, they're going to overtake us aren't they? :(

Yup, 70 points for this win today.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Stoke can't tackle without chucking themselves in.

But Lucas gets a yellow for that! Bullshit.

[GP]

Stoke are dreadful.

Hopefully this is the season they go down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How isn't that a goalkick?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas clears off the line to deny Shawcross!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Watching athletics instead.

Football :rose:

[GP]

I'll put it down to first day nerves, otherwise Liverpool have made a big mistake in the GK department.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho goes for goal, wide. Should have pulled it back for a Twat Goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cameron crowdsurfing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Begovic saves from Henderson, great save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Begovic with another save. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aspas header, wide.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

50/1 for Stoke to nick a win. Might be tempted to stick a fiver on that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam and Pennant coming on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How didn't that go in? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilson shoots, fairly easy for Mignolet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aspas off, Thug Sterling on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Complete waste from Sturridge, Kolo bombed forward for no reason at all. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolo booked. Piss off Pulis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoof. :haha:

As blatant as it gets.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[GP]

I have a bad feeling about this.

You'll be fine, Stoke have zero threat.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Come on you scrotes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Stoke!

[GP]

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double save from Mignolet! Walters. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

[Marc Overmars]

Should have signed Mignolet.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh cock!

[GP]

Poor pelanty.

[Rors]

Walters :lol: God love him...

[Munchies]

With no European football to worry about and with new additions that have strengthened their squad, I've got a bad feeling about this.

[Munchies]

It's their year. :(

Funnily enough, I have that inkling aswell ffs :(

Suarez is going to return, and he'll probably put away a few chances. ffs. ffs. ffs

[Master Splinter]

Popping in to see what's happening with real footie teams. Got a bit board watching our bank team out for a pub kickabout.

[Rors]

This live audience thing is not going to work.

[Rors]

Applause on cue :lol:

[Rors]

And suddenly I feel deflated...

David Cameron ‏@David_Cameron

Only the first day, I know - but it's great to see Aston Villa @AVFCOfficial at the top of the @premierleague.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Canas booked.

[Rors]

Vorm :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggs. :lol:

[Rors]

Giggs :lol: Senility..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggs does it again. :haha:

[Rors]

Giggs :lol:

[Rors]

Give it up Gramps

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-1 Man Utd, RVP.

[Marc Overmars]

Oh look who's scored. Again.

[Munchies]

:(

What a goal, out of nothing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-2 Man Utd, Welbeck.

[Rors]

Double muh..

[Marc Overmars]

Even that turd burglar has found his scoring boots.

Looks like Fergie woz rite on Moyes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Surely we have at least one more player we could sell to Utd to help them along? Quick, before the window slams shut.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Welbeck getting 1 of his 3 goals for the season out the way very early.

[Rors]

"So come on David Moyes, play like Fergie's boys. We go wild, wild, wild".

Worst chant ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT.

[Rors]

"He's been absolutely majestic this first half". Just get a room

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

"So come on David Moyes, play like Fergie's boys. We go wild, wild, wild".

Worst chant ever.

I was wondering why I was humming that at half time...

[Rors]

I was wondering why I was humming that at half time...

They're at it again..

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're at it again..

Tbf to United fans, they don't get much practice at this singing lark.

[Rors]

Tbf to United fans, they don't get much practice at this singing lark.

*is no position to criticise* :lol:

[Rors]

Shop window time..

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

*is no position to criticise* :lol:

We both have reason to, today.

:ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-3 Man Utd, RVP. FFS.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Dear me what a goal.

I don't have to tell you who scored it. Because Maccy already did.

[Rors]

Muh again

[Rors]

We both have reason to, today.

:ninja:

Works for me. :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL how much would it cost to buy him back?

Fuck our board and fuck our manager tbh

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Works for me. :scarf:

Didn't realise we had you next week.

:popcorn:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

What a player. :bow:

To think he used to do that for us all the time. Had to be let go though, as he made the grave mistake of trying to stand up to a most vile regime and pointing out the glaring obvious to them.

[Master Splinter]

Swansea said no, RVC.

[Rors]

And again, worst chant ever. Worth noting that Oasis covered the basis for said chant (bside of 'Don't Look Back In Anger').. :whistle:

[Rors]

Didn't realise we had you next week.

:popcorn:


Indeed so. I Will Be There too..

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Indeed so. I Will Be There too..

Commiserations. Maybe. But probably not.

I still can't get over Shelvey being a Swansea bhai.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 1-3 Man Utd, Bony.

[Rors]

it's on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4, Welbeck.

[Rors]

Cross... :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 1-4 FT.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Welbeck with a brace. :o

Surely Swansea are fronts runners for relegation.

[Marc Overmars]

Welbz matches his tally from last season. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Fucking hell. Moyes has even got Welbz scoring.

Moyes :bow:.

Swansea :doh:.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Cross... :coffee:

it was, tbh. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Welbeck with a brace. :o

Surely Swansea are fronts runners for relegation.

I think they'll struggle as well or at the very least slum it in the bottom half.

[Master Splinter]

I think they'll struggle as well or at the very least slum it in the bottom half.

Really?

They have a good base and have added some potentially very good players. Bony and Michu should both be prolific.

[Rors]

This is why the audience idea is a bad one. Silly question to him, spits 'everyday fan' boring nonsense, comes back with soft-soap "Who was your toughest opponent in the ring?" question of his own.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I reckon Swansea will be OK.

Sunderland, West Brom and one of the promoted sides... Palace.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Swa/ManU, Ars/AV, Nor/Eve, Liv/Sto, WHU/Car, WBA/Sou, Sun/Ful.

Shearer and Murphy apparently.

[Rors]

Johnson and McEnroe :pray:

[Rors]

Same intro again...

[Cripps_orig]

FFL points from Benteke and rvp :bow:

[Rors]

A few dots on the screen to tell us "if you get in the box, you'll score goals". No sale Alan.

[Rors]

There's a match on now... :whistle:

[Rors]

A really quite insane one :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Anthony Taylor Villas MOTM?

[Rors]

:scarf:

[Rors]

"Pace..on the break"

[Rors]

Interview with Martinez out of sync :lol: MOTD :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

Didn't realise mignolet saved a penalty and the rebound.

Tme he came home

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://puu.sh/44geW.jpg

[Cripps_orig]

Big Sam being praised for his football playing team.

Time he came home

[Niall_Quinn]

RvC changed the flow of that game today. Swansea had good chances before that. Top striker makes all the difference and we're in an ideal place to see the before and after result.

[Cripps_orig]

Lambert :bow:

5 goals from my strikers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

'Geggz' :bow:

[Rors]

"I've been told to get the ball more" - Gabby. I hope he was told to repeat that one back a hundred times....

Not the sharpest, dear of him...

[Rors]

"We're just glad to get through to next round here at Scunthorpe and to get the three points".... Another piece of Gabby Gold there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agbonlahor. :lol:

:(

[Rors]

:(

Should have brought on 'Jenkinson' earlier. After all, if he is capable of metamorphosis....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not capable of completing a match though sadly.

[Rors]

Not capable of completing a match though sadly.

"Oh man, I've lost my special skills!"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

I thought about that as a playable game on Oculus Rift the other day.

[Rors]

:lol:

I thought about that as a playable game on Oculus Rift the other day.


"A bit of a cock-up in the bravado department.."

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Didn't realise mignolet saved a penalty and the rebound.

Tme he came home

Bit dodgy on the crosses which sapped his confidence, but I like him.

Based solely on yesterday's game, get Begovic. Better than what you have...


Also, what's with Kolo's put-hands-to-temples-when-something-goes-wrong?

[Cripps_orig]

A dustbin would be better than what we have

How do you get Reina for years and then Mignolet to replace whilst we can't adequately replace Lehmann who left years ago?

Looks like I made the wrong choice on who to support back in 1990

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We also had a decade of David James and bad-Dudek, so it balances out.

We've won little bit more trophies since then tbf.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Palace surely favourites to go down.

Looks an awful team. Like a cross between Hull 2008, Blackpool and Derby.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coheed & Cambria making its way on to Sky's coverage. :unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

Didn't they spend 6m on some pub team striker?

Chamakh is their only hope.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado's volleying ability. :sick:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They're doomed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace Cheerleaders. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walker. :haha:

He is dreadful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele belts it but over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace have played quite well. Can't get a shot on target having said that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilbraham header, easy enough for Lloris.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Speroni to deny Sigurdsson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Palace, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nothing came of it. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chadli. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance by Chadli, could've been dangerous for Palace otherwise.

0-0 HT.
