They could at least spell his name properly, after all he did score the first goal of the new season. His name is spelt two ways in this match report, awful stuff. :rolleyes:

Get in there big Dean Ashton!

I took a gamble on him in my fantasy team and i get immediate results, 2 goals!

Helix · 16-08-2008 02:51PM

most of the games are on justin.tv if it hasnt already been posted

not sure if we can post links here tho can we?

Chardee MacDennis · 16-08-2008 03:06PM

pat dolan is a moran, he just said that Southgate would want his players surrounding the Ref giving him dogs abuse about that disallowed goal because it could turn out to be very important, well Pat the ref cant change his decision. and according to him the reason the respect campaign has been started is due to a media conspiracy by rugby union! LOL! setanta should fire him for advocating dissent.

i personally thought it was great not to see the players surround the ref, although it was a ridiculous decision.

same as anything pirated. for the most part illegal but the laws surrounding it are very grey...

Chardee MacDennis · 16-08-2008 03:17PM

and lou macari is another one setanta should get rid of, he claims to not understand the need for 7 subs, a pointless change apparently.

he just made three suggestions to change football:
1. ban the fourth official
2. ban the team huddle at the start - they can do it in the dressing room
3. ban pat dolan from TV

3 is his only valid point, but he's another dolt who just repeats everything he reads in the paper, along with his united/celtic tinted glasses. bah i wish we could get commentry free TV!!

Dave! · 16-08-2008 03:23PM

Dimi getting ready to come on for Spuds

Hopefully his last appearance for the club

Xavi6 · 16-08-2008 03:27PM

Everton go 2-1 up in the 65th minute and Blackburn equalise in the 66th. Great game.

PHB · 16-08-2008 03:30PM

Wheater gets his goal. Spurs as always falter

Feel bad for Gomez, he made an amazing save but the defence didn't respond to the rebound like the opposition.

Dave! · 16-08-2008 03:30PM

Wheater gets a goal

boro 1-0 spuds

Goddammit... have Woodgate on my team

glenjamin · 16-08-2008 03:33PM

Wheater for England!!!!

Tom65 · 16-08-2008 03:35PM

Middlesbrough to break the top 4 this season?

mike65 · 16-08-2008 03:37PM

This weekend possibly (they'll need to score a few more though!)

Mike.

Xavi6 · 16-08-2008 03:38PM

19 year old Keith Treacy just came on for Blackburn. Great to see another young Irish lad in the Prem.

Speaking of Irish players, Caleb Folan makes it 2-1 to Hull.

estebancambias · 16-08-2008 03:43PM

Irish 'international' Caleb Folan scored for Hull.

Tusky · 16-08-2008 03:43PM

lineup :

Reina
Arbeloa
Hyypia
Carragher
Dossena
Kuyt
Plessis
Gerrard
Benayoun
Keane
Torres

Playing Plessis before Alonso is pretty dreadful to be honest. Alonso can do a better job as a defensive midfielder than Plessis. Also think its very strange to play Hyypia seeing as he has barely played in pre-season.

mike65 · 16-08-2008 03:44PM

Reina
Arbeloa-Carra-Hyypia-Dossena
Kuyt-Plessis-Gerrard-Benayoun

Keane-Torres

Subs: Cavalieri, El Zhar, Aurelio, Ngog, Skrtel, Agger, Alonso.

Mike.

glenjamin · 16-08-2008 03:45PM

Mido, Mido, Mido!!!!

PHB · 16-08-2008 03:45PM

Oh Spurs, you're such a funny team

Never a dull game

It's clear that Spurs desperately need a midfield enforcer, desperately. They've nobody who can win the ball back, noone.

mike65 · 16-08-2008 03:46PM

Jebus PHB you and your thread mix/match.

/dizzy

Mike.

estebancambias · 16-08-2008 03:46PM

Here I want Liverpool to win EPL, but that midfield is **** on paper.

PHB · 16-08-2008 03:48PM

Alonso dropped. Ballsy from Rafa. I think it might work today, but I don't think it'll work long term. Gerrard is now once again the deciding factor in whether or not Liverpool win. If he can perform well and dictate play well, Liverpool will win. If not, they will lose. 2 years ago all over again.

surely the formation will be

Reina
Arbeloa-Carra-Hyypia-Dossena

Plessis-Gerrard

Kuyt

Keane

Benayoun

Torres

strange that agger is on the bench, maybe since stevie is a holding mid Rafa doesnt want Agger coming forward with the ball as often as usual.

sure theyre not playing anyone of note

spurs will continue to flounder until they sort their defensive game, thats been obvious for a long long while and still hasnt been addressed

They have one but sadly for them he is brainless. They should have signed Carsley.

mike65 · 16-08-2008 03:49PM

Alonso has a dead-ish leg apparently. Argies win today so Masch won't be back for a while

Mike.

glenjamin · 16-08-2008 03:50PM

Why is Rafa picking Hyypia ahead of Agger and Skrtel?

Oh and Aliadiere for League 2!
