I did enjoy it. I'll probably claim I wrote it soon.

Thx

The transfer window is now shut until Jan, a bit of a disappointment for Spurs as now we are in the Champions League I was hoping to get Messi or Thomas Müller but no luck we only got some Russian goalie.

Hold on........it could be Van der Vaart!!!

Just as the weekend TV footie seemed to be settling into a pattern of the early TSN2 game followed by bySetanta/Sportsnet offering a choice of two "3.00" kick offs and then the new Sportsnet One for the "tea time" game it all changes this weekend.

The early game - Everton-ManU - is listed as Setanta.

Then we have a choice of three games from the 3.00 kick offs.

West Ham-Chelsea on TSN2/RDS
Arsenal-Bolton on Sportsnet
Man City-Blackburn on Setanta (again)

There's no tea time game and Sunday it's just Brum-Liverpool on Setanta.

We really are lucky these days as between Saturday morning and Monday afternoon all 10 games will be on in full.....this is much better than in the UK and cheaper.

The people I feel sorry for are those who only get Fox Sports World Canada...now there is a crap channel....australian footie, us college footie, and 1 or 2 Seria A games/week....plus endless repeats of the Fox Soccer Report, which is rather sophmoric at times.

I don't imagine there are many...at least not many interested in footie anyway.

The 'Report' was still a handy way of catching goals missed and there is the sky sports news hour too. I did keep it on for those but the quality of streams is good enough not to bother anymore.

I've even taken to watching MOTD on line occasionally.

Hang on, shouldn't this bloke be at some other venue (or two), to watch a different sport (and sportsmen of a certain nationality), tomorrow??

Cruel Toffees fans are set to don Rasta wigs and chant No Woman, No Kai - to the tune of Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry.

Also on Sultana, at 6:30 pm on Sat the main event, the big one, the match of the year maybe.

Yes !!!!

NEWCASTLE V BLACKPOOL

Not live of course, the tension would be too much for live TV. Maybe the Hydro grid would fail with all the fans trying to tune in. But it's gona be on and thats good enough for me.

Cumon you Pule

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha................................Pool2

Premier league, Lovin It...............for now

Nice to see I won't be the only seasider cheering us on from the other side of the pond when we move over next year.

Lots of gutted Geordies avoiding me at work this morning!!!!!

Dammit. No sooner do I cancel than I discover they have the Europa Cup.

Man City match is on tomorrow.

Wow...you are right...

maybe the talk about their demise won't turn out after all.

Caught a few minutes today on Setanta of an old game circa 1997 Newcastle/Aston Villa...with Yorke/Staunton playing for Aston Villa and Ginola/Lee and Mr. Personality playing for the Bar Codes.

Found this amusing

I've enjoyed Wednesday's Carling Cup 3rd Rd results tonight.

Man City beaten 2-1 by West Brom, Chelsea beaten 4-3 by Newcastle, and Liverpool beaten 4-2 on penalties by Northampton Town after being 2-2 at the end of extra-time.
