This will not concern most of you chaps but its absolutely gutted me... :evil:

I've just cancelled my Sky subscription in disgust. Gone from having every single game shown on Sky to having one live game per week on NZ's equivalent of BBC1, plus a 1 hour highlights show. But the good news is you can watch every game live online for $150 a year, wtf??

 

[rob71]

WOW Tough start for David. He is gonna have to learn quick. The two hardest away Trips Lpool/City 3rd and 5th games of the season also have Swansea away and Chelsea at home in our first five. I suppose its good to get them out the way

Yeah pretty tough start for your lads... Swansea will be up for that one alright.

Then again Liverpool have got Stoke first game - we may as well get the season started with a disappointing draw :roll:

That was my first thought an all. Though now Pulis has gone Stoke might actually TRY and play football!
Nice enough start to the season fro Pool, bar the scum, the first dozen games look ok.

i think we will surprise people this year, depending on the signings if sturridge and coutinho play like they have been we should get a strong start.

 

[weasel]

Well that's just jinxed it! :lol:

 

[Richard_H]

What'll be the first Sky match as none of them leap out? My bet is Chelski v Hull as Mourinho the media darling v the new boys. And why is Sky going on about Harry's first games so much. Who gives a ****? Can't stand Redknapp he's massively overrated and destroyed Pompey.

 

[rob71]

Oh come on Richard that's harsh... he did a great job at QPR :|

 

[Richard_H]

Yeah forgot about Odemwingie :lol:

 

[Richard_H]

Higuain has been spotted in London according to many sources. Won't believe it'll be Arsenal though until he signs. And if he does I think that'll be Arsenal's only major signing this year.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Delighted with this news! Leighton Baines is the best player in his poston in the country IMO

[Richard_H]

Baines would get in any team in the PL. need to cough up more than that though. Evra has been on decline for the last season or two.

 

[weasel]

Agreed on Evra. Not a all surprised Utd are after Baines, i reckon even if Fergy was still there they'd be after him.
Obviously, as an ABU, i gotta hope he stays at Everton, even if him leaving would probably help Liverpool in the battle for 6th

Ohh and 12 million for Tevez, what a ****ing bargain!

 

[Richard_H]

Ricky Van Wolfswinkel is the greatest name to grace the PL. ever.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

WTF :shock: :shock: :shock:

Chelsea have signed Schwarzer. A solid backup.

Absolute quality keeper! Solid backup for anyone 8)

 

[rob71]

So Suarez says there are "two or three clubs interested" in him and he's keeping his phone with him at all times. Great player, **** attitude, and as a Liverpool fan I feel let down after the club have stuck by him (often wrongly) all this time. If he doesn't want to play for us he should piss off and not bother coming back for training.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Scary stuff :?

[rob71]

You'd think twice about answering back to the ref after that :shock:

 

[Michael Sith]

Jesus :shock:

WTF...the worlds gone mad :!:
