She's a "former solicitor from Northern Ireland", you silly non-researcher of facts :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I blame Maggie.

And in breaking news at the transfer deadline, Toon's cockney Director of *****all does, err, ****all.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

"Tim Sherwood has revealed that he has rejected chairman Daniel Levys offers to strengthen Tottenhams squad in the January transfer window."


Nafffing brilliant. Well done Tim. :thumbdown:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Shuddup. Just shut it.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Just before I do, one question: Why were the fans singing the Que Sera / Wembley song :confused:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

So MA and JK stayed away. Counting the 20m GBP made in the transfer window no doubt. Cheerio AP.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yes. Very surprising given Jermaine Defoe's departure.

I think when we appoint a new manager in the summer there will be several signings made. Left back and upfront. I suspect Holtby, Capoue and Chadli will be gone by then.

We are stuck with Soldado.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Just sayin.

Blackpool lost again today :thumbdown:

They wont be back in the EPL for at least another year :o

so

Carry on :thumbup:

Not after Yesterday. He's tainted with Kinnearitis and has been written off by many. Pas de deux should never have shoved him on as he's obviously not fit (hasn't started a game this season).

Apart form that, getting up at 5AM was sooooo worth it.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I'm not sure what first part of your post is about although a bit of French is always nice.

Getting up at 5am just to discover that your team hadn't improved over the fascist's rabble from last year, who won by the same score, must be particularly painful.

See you in hell. Or possibly the championship. But after you, if you please.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Possibly, but its better than getting up at 7 AM to watch a team roll over & die in the only game of note left to them this season.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

JFK has resigned. Woo hoo!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come but Saturday's Liverpool-Arsenal match appears to be on Sportsnet 360 (ex The Score)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Woo hoo indeed. A total disaster only marginally overshadowed by Mike Asshole.

Good ****ing riddance to the cockney twat.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

This amused me....

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yeah a lot more games now. Last weekend I counted 5 3pm kick off's. 3 on Sportsnet (including World) and 2 on the TSN channels.

I thought I was spoiled when I had 3 to choose from.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Me too. :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Let's hope he's not replaced by someone even less competent! Or just not replaced! :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

As one circus leaves town, another one will be long soon. :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No, no, I meant it in a bad way. It's not an extra 3.00 choice. This is a game that would normally be on either TSN or the usual Sportsnet channels rather than "360" which likely needs additional subscription.

It's like when Sky introduced skysports 2 and spread games over both channels so you had to pay for both to see what was previously all on one.:frown:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

sportsnet 360 is just a re-branded 'the score' which I thought was on most cable systems in the standard tier.

The fact is that Sportsnet World is no longer the channel it used to be. Previously it would have at least half the games either live or delayed one after the other...now it ends up showing the scraps most of the time. In the past it also showed the scottish, russian, french leagues and the last two are gone. When sportsnet world was first available, many of my friends subscribed and now most of them have dropped it.

The fact of the matter is that for many soccer in canada is a minority interest sport that is overshadowed by hawkie, the superbore, rounders and basketball. In reality, for the money most of us pay for soccer, we get more games than they do in the UK.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Netball, shirley? :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Maybe. On my provider it comes within a sports grouping of what I already have as part of a bilingual package.

It seems the only way of adding it is to pay for the group which is effectively paying for several channels twice.

Except for times like this week when West Brom-Liverpool and Arsenal-Palace were both on World only. It does happen quite a lot that both Sunday games are on World only or one on each.

Then of course, there's the FA Cup which is only on World at the moment.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

How could I forget that. Actually, lawn bowling/petanque/boules on ice gets better ratings than football/soccer here in Canada.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Shove hapenny on ice?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

It may be a sign of things already here rather than to come.

I just noticed that this Saturday, Sportsnet 360 not only has the Liverpool-Arsenal match, but Chelsea-Newcastle as the "3.00" game and then Swansea-Cardiff, while the only other Sportsnet live game is on World.

Nothing on SN One or the Zoned channels. The schedules aren't far enough ahead to see what happens after this weekend.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

http://www.canadasoccertv.ca/

this is a good accurate source for what is on. I imagine that the Winter Olympics may be on sportsnet in some forum....tsn as well. TSN2 and tsn.ca also have games. All is not lost.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Apparently I do get SN360...never knew. So I'm good to watch Arsenal humiliate us on Saturday.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Im conflicted.... got 2 arsenal defenders in my fantasy team...

Its been a while since they played anyone with some talent up front so Im not completely pessimistic about it. Usually that means a crushing defeat awaits..

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Shhhhhhh!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I have Suarez and Sturridge in mine!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oooooh conflicts lol

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I've used that one for years. Unfortunately it's not as complete or up to date as it used to be. They didn't have the league cup semi finals listed a few weeks ago. I've often had to double check the Sportsnet site as a back up and even refer to livesoccer as well.

I've been on to Shaw and I'm happy with the outcome. There are a couple of channels the others in the house got used to on a free trial that they have missed since. For an extra $3 I can upgrade the package to include 360 as well as those channels they missed and a movie channel that looks okay too. :thumbsup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

More of a worry is this nagging feeling that Liverpool will secure 4th place at a canter, only for the scum to grind out a ridiculous champions league win and deny us a place in Europe:ohmy:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I think this is the week to drop Saurez as captain and try someone else :thumbup:


cue Saurez scoring a hatrick and setting up 2 more :D

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Bayern again or Manchester City will win the Champions League is my guesstimate.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I did say it would be ridiculous, but the irony of liverpool making the top 4 and ManU still pissing on our biscuits is almost too much for the gods to resist I fear.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

It's also on NBC as well apparently. The Chelski Newcastle game is on 360 afterwards....come on you Geordies.

Then it's over to the BBC for the Calcutta Cup.

Numb bum on Saturday me thinks.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Thing is, though, we all know the CL doesn't get won back to back. So if Man City is a real possibility (and I think they are) that means they knock out Barcelona. If Arsenal were to repeat what they did against Bayern (just as Man City disposed of them too - okay, there's a slight argument it didn't matter) then Barca and Bayern - the two biggest obstacles would be out and the trophy could be anyone's to win. Especially if the best teams left faced each other in the draw.

It's all set up for an "undeserved" win. Like ManU.

It is quite likely. Just as when teams draw opponents with former players or managers. The odds are against it but it happens.

I get more exercise on my seat when the rugby's on. I find I can't sit still...I'm tackling, dummying passes, all sorts.

I never kick or head a ball in the footie.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

The day Chelsea did that to Spurs was the worst day in my life.
