MoogleViper Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks...no Championship feeds though. Not that I'd want to watch our match at the moment! There often are Championship matches. I used that site to watch Leeds vs Wolves earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 So Sky Sports are already saying Arsenal are missing Van Persie. I don't think he would have scored in that game. Sunderland parked the bus. A draw is positive, at least we're not Liverpool. Now Song has gone too. Always liked him as a player, but seems like Wenger is taking the attitude "if you don't want to be here, you can fuck off" Thought we might have got a little more than 15m, but i'm not a football manager, what do I know.

ipaul Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 A win on the first day of the season. Marvellous! Seems like that hasn't happened in a while. I thought we defended pretty solidly with an unfortunate set piece mishap getting the better of us. Ben Arfa was the man of the match for me, caused so many problems with the runs he created and very much deserved his goal when it came. Cabaye and Cisse were a little disappointing, but it was great to have Steven Taylor back and have Ba finally score another goal. Lovely finish too. Thought Defoe looked very bright for Spurs, I had forgotten about how good he could be. Bale and VDV were also causing us quite a few problems for prolonged spells in the game. Sigurdsson seemed underwhelming. If Spurs and Newcastle end up as close to each other as they were last year, this could be a very significant win.

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Fooootbaaalllllll! Thank God. It's been too long. Tottenham frustrate me. They've needed a striker for so long, and now all they really have is Defoe. As good as he is, it's so dangerous and naive to rely on one man. With another striker or two, they could have got something today. So surprised at the Liverpool and QPR scorelines. Both got battered! Didn't expect that at all. Can't wait for Match of the Day tonight. Wish we were playing today, though. All of the opening games should be on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depressing how Giroud can miss one opportunity and a lot of people already write him off. Miss a-side I was impressed with all our new signings and the draw wasn't a bad result, Sunderland came for the draw and parked the bus. The sharpness wasn't there and we were a bit static, but it'll come with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellmeister Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 A better start than Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal..if only Southampton had held on to their lead earlier! MotD2 soon! I've missed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Was cheering Saints on earlier, great start from them, shame they couldn't hold on. Was confused why they didn't start with Lambert but then remembered he is always unfit at the start of the season. One thing that pissed me off was how patronising the commentators were being towards them, "oh aren't they trying hard against the mighty Man City". Also how when Southampton were 2-1 up they were comparing it to City being 2-1 down on the last day of the season. The situations were nothing alike! "Oh Dzeko has equalised, just like he did on the last day of the season!" Yeah that was in the 93rd min, not the 70th. And not the only time he has ever equalised, I'm sure. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just turn the commentary off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think commentary these days panders to the complete morons who've only just picked up the game, it's a myriad of clichés and patronisation. Listening to ITV during the England game midweek was excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The game is all about the 'campaign' through the season. At the start there's no backstory from which to really weave magical stats and legends out of, so yeah they talk a lot of arse! I saw a fun stat on the BBC match summary - only th 8th Prem game where all three subs have scored a goal. I'm sure not a single pub quiz in the land will ever ask that, but hey.

Southampton looked really sharp and organised. I love it when the underdogs/newly promoted teams can give the Premier League big hitters a run for their money. Phil Thompon's face was priceless on Soccer Saturday when Liverpool were getting beat. He wasn't even watching that match but he was still gutted. I didn't expect us to get a result at West Brom and I wasn't disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some mad news coming from Italy. Cassano could be heading to Inter as part of a swap deal. Juventus look to be signing Fernando Llorente for 14 million pounds. At that price, that is a steal. Surely at that price AVB would be thinking of putting in a bid.

Emerald Emblem Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Everton beat Manchester United 1-0. An inspired display from the Toffee's, particularly Jagielka and Man of the Match Fellaini who got the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 God, we were so bad in that second half. First half was pretty good, both sides up for it. No idea what happened in the second, we never got out of first gear. What Wayne Rooney has to do to get subbed is beyond me as he did next to nothing all game. Nani was awful, Evra was pretty terrible as well. Not one decent cross into the box from anyone. Everton fully deserved it. Controlled the midfield and defended well at the back. Aside from one or two moments, we couldn't get anywhere near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, don't think you should post it. Maybe PM to those that ask. Kagawa, David De Gea and Vidic were the only positives from that game. Amazing first half though, very energetic from both teams.

MadDog Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some pretty disgusting chanting was reported aswell, I'm sure it was only a minority, every club has a minority of brainless fans unfortunately. It's just sad that instead of supporting their own team, they'd rather waste their breathe shouting things that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What did they chant out of interest? Was impressed with Kagawa! Had him as my captain and thought he'd do well, always wanting the ball. How Vidic didn't get booked for his shirt pulling is beyond me, every game he does that/ handballs it on the sly or holds in the box and I just wonder how he isn't caught! De Gea played well, had no chance with the goal. Great game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If it wasn't for the scouters, we could stand. 99% of football fans are actually human, and would be embarrassed by such behaviour. Chelsea fans did it in the FA Cup, Liverpool fans have done it, and none of them are really supporters of football and/or their clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
