tomfiend Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Haha it's all good, you know it's pretty awesome that they show all of the PL here in the US. In England they're not allowed to broadcast any of the 3pm Saturday matches, well at least that's how it was last time I was living there.I've been to one MLS game, and the standard was pretty poor for the cost of the tickets so I probably won't go too often. Also, don't stop supporting a club because they put out a dodgy kit. Stick to your roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to your roots. I thought I read somewhere that they don't broadcast the 3pm matches in an attempt to get fans out to the lower league matches...or something like that. I lived in Salt Lake for 6 years but don't have ties beyond my in-laws being there. Still, might as well stick with RSL since I'm out there once in a while visiting and can get to a match. It would be awesome if the Twin Cities gets an expansion team in 3-4 years in the new Vikings stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfiend Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Anyone watch the England match tonight? We were dreadful. Yeah that was pretty woeful, the England U21's also dismal. Brazil looking on point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlobban Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 i didn't get to see the England or the US game because of a dr's apt, but it sounds like i'm glad to have missed both also, Wilshere out 6 weeks? dude cant catch a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weinerdog Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yikes....the reaction of that poor keeper says it all. Good on the QPR player forcing the issue. So you root for Arsenal and QPR? I vaguely remember QPR being in the PL last year. I suppose if QPR can get promoted you'll get to pick one or the other twice next season.

weinerdog Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Oops. It would be cool to find the Championship playoffs on TV somewhere. Maybe Fox1 or 2. I work with a guy who is a HUGE Arsenal fan. The amount of hatred he has for Tottenham is amusing/frightening. It's like they are a subhuman species or something. Also, the smack talk and creative taunts that football fans come up with is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfiend Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The Play off final will be on TV definitely. Onnly thing is, this year it is on the saturday 24th May, same day as the Champions LEague final, probably before but they are yet to announce kick -off time.

partysmasher Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm the Arsenal guy. In fact i got my ticket to the FA Cup semi today, so looking forward to seeing us crash out to Wigan at Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vialister Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Not the most stylish way to win a football match, but hey, I'll take it. I went mental when this happened (being a boro fan) apparently the bobble was caused by a bottle cap. Whatever, our season has been over since the Blackburn game. Some rebuilding in the summer and we'll be up the top next season, getting promoted back to where we belong. I can't believe some "bigger" clubs haven't come in for George Friend yet, needs to work on some parts of his game but he is top quality.

Used to enjoy watching MIddlesbrough in '04 with Jimmy floyd and viduka up front. Young Stewart downing wasn't too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were good value against city, second half we absolutely dominated them. But i'm worried about Everton. Having said that: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think there is more pressure on Everton. They have to get 3 to have a decent shot at 4th IMO. Lukaku needs to be in good form on Sunday. Arsenal might be content with a draw(?), and they have a pretty reasonable schedule the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Tough game coming up for us tonight. (Pool against West Ham) If we play well here, I reckon we can beat City next week and win the title. Also, I'm now top of the VC fantasy football league. Any prizes if I stay top at the end of the season? (Heh just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sorry Alex S (and other Arsenal fans): Walcott is out for 6 months, will miss the rest of the season and the World Cup. i was just thinking over the weekend, "man, if this guy could could just stay healthy for a whole season he'd be in conversations of current best players in the world but he cant see to stay healthy for more than a few weeks at a time". huge blow for the gunners considering their current string of injuries. and he was playing great football, sad e wont get to see him for the world cup. Sorry to quote this post which was 3 months ago, but I was just reading back on this thread and I had to comment on this. There is probably no way in which he will be considered one of the best players in the world. To be the best, you've got to have the skill/technique to change a game by yourself, and he definitely doesn't have that. To me, he's a pretty one-dimensional player who's good at what he does, which is to utilise his pace to stretch the defence and run on to through balls. That means when teams play deep and pack the box, his threat is pretty much nullified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wow. That sure was a nail-biting game. Lots of thoughts on that 2nd penalty awarded to Liverpool but I personally thought it should have stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
