Posted September 10, 2008 Decided not to go to the pub to watch the England game but instead im here listning on 5live. It's just not the same. I hate you Setanta. But hey Walcott just scored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 Woo, Scotland just put a second in! Still 1-0 for England, I'm listening on 5Live. Setanta are evil. Surely the Beeb should spend it's millions on, say, acquiring the rights to national games? EDIT: Walcott scores again! 2-0 to England! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC couldn't justify spending their "millions" just on football. It's all down to the FA being too greedy. Money money money. It's the national side, everyone should be able to watch it. Not even any highlights. What a joke! 0-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 3-0! As much as I hate Rooney, go him! I love Croatia, but England has priory for loyalty. :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 YES! Not only for England, but because tomorrow's papers won't be full of absolute shit about the team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 Thank god for that, That finish was far tighter that I need, 2-1 victory though. Shame Macedonia couldn't have nicked a goal against the Dutch, although look like McManus could be suspended for dutch game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 I gave in and streamed it on sopcast! 1-4 is a great scoreline and to be honest from what i've seen we have looked good. Great posession play, different team from saturday. What happened? Can't wait for us to win the world cup haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame Macedonia couldn't have nicked a goal against the Dutch, although look like McManus could be suspended for dutch game I think he only gets a one match ban, doesn't he? So that would be the Norway game in October. To be honest, I'm not to bummed about losing him for it, he hasn't really done that much at all in the last few games apart from clearing the ball off the line once tonight. Hopefully Berra will start against Norway. Any idea when Hutton and Barry-bam are expected back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2008 WHOA!! THEO WALCOTT! WE'VE GOT THEO WALCOTT! HE'S AN ENGLISHMAN AT ARSENAL!! What a result, brilliant performance. Hopefully Capello and the team can build on this. For once, we looked a unit. Heskey has a knack of being there in the big wins, coincidence? Setanta + mates + beers + great result = awesome evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barry should be back before the end of the year, Not too sure about Hutton but I think i read in the paper that it could be while. Thing about McManus is he's a solid player, you dont normally hear too much about him, because he doesn't make too many mistakes - very reliable, like a centre half should be.

It's the national side, everyone should be able to watch it. Not even any highlights. What a joke! 0-3 It's actualy got nothing to do with the FA. Each home FA owns the rights for there home matches. So in this case it's the Croatian FA that decide who to sell the rights to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong. Sky Sports have the contracts for all England home qualifiers and away friendlies, and Setanta have the contracts for England away qualifiers and home friendlies. It has nothing to do with the team we're playing. Luckily the BBC and ITV still have the actual world cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Setanta dont have all the away qualifiers. They have the Belarus match, but nobody has bought the rights for Ukraine or Kazhakstan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2008 If I remember correctly, West Ham were the first team at St Jame's Park after Northern Rock collapsed and gloated "Shit bank, no funds". Do I get to sing "Shit planes, no flights" when I go down there next week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2008 Torres and Gerrard starting on the bench today. Glad to see Riera starting though and Benayoun on the right instead of Kuyt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's funnier (in the depressing way) that it is easier to watch the domestic league and England matches in almost any other country in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
