That was a surprise. Hope that means Ashley Young is going to Spurs.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

That would be a great signing.

With Ahsley Young, Bale and Lennon we'd be lethal on the break.

Spurs Hunting For Young Boys

Well, that's lower than I thought they'd sink. I guess next pre-season's training is Gary Glitter's Thailand Tour? :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Watched MOTD2 on BBC iplayer last night. Seemed a good entertaining start to the season. Certainly, in terms of entertainment its no contest between the EPL and the World Cup.

Everton have got an interesting away strip this season.

Two howlers from two world class keepers (Howard and Riena). Joe Hart looks promising - hopefully City will let Given go so he gets to play regularly.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

What the hell happened to Aston Villa?

That's gonna put a dent in my Fantasy Football team! :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

They were plucky losers against a team with real class of course.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Liverpool looked so bad that you just pity them now. They'll be mid table at best or more likely be in a relegation battle.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Pity that shower? Never.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Fair enough, I was being charitable. They really are still a bunch of cads.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

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

Thx

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

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. :thumbdown:

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

Weekend football
 

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.

Re: Weekend football
 

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.

Re: Weekend football
 

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

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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

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?? :confused::frown:

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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

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 :thumbup:

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 :fingerscrossed:

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!!!!! :thumbsup:

Re: Weekend football
 

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

Man City match is on tomorrow.:frown:

Re: Weekend football
 

Wow...you are right...

http://footballtvcanada.blogspot.com/

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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Found this amusing

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

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.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

A minor frisson.

Another link to watch the footy is atdhe.net

Not sure if it's been posted here before.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yep. It's exceedingly reliable.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Unlike Lord Ferg's players. :rolleyes:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

At least Liverpool are being consistently constipated!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Maybe if Sir Alex could go back to feudal times and publicly flog the likes of Carrick and Anderson the team wouldn't lose concentration in the second half. Rooney is already being pilloried so we're halfway there!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Rooney is on his way by all accounts.

I think the end of the "Sky 4" is finally upon us.

Liverpool Football Club are no where and Manchester United and Arsenal face a realistic possibility of not finishing in the top 4 thanks to the re-emergance of their city rivals Spurs and City.

The game needs the change.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If they didn't have the wonder of Roy Hodgson at the helm and the ageless skills of Joe Cole, they'd in the relegation zone.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Too late!! They're already there after the defeat to Everton. :p

At least Liverpool are rid of their Yanks. Oh wait, they've got another set to replace them.

I think eight games in the season is premature to write any of the top half of table off. Maybe after another twenty games you'd have a good point.

I agree that Liverpool are in serious trouble, and I don't recall any team fighting a relegation battle at this stage qualifying for Europe at the end of the season.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

William Hill saying man city favourites to sign Rooney at 7/4

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I won't be taking that.

There is 3 months until it all has to be sorted out...I still think he is staying.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I hope he stays but in reality it will never be the same after all of this weeks news about his desire to leave.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Doesn't seem to be a problem for Arsenal and Fabregas.

Or Terry and Lampard come to that, although maybe their "want away" desire was less.
