what the hell is this? sheffield holding liverpool to a draw and l'pool only managing a equalizer on a pen? this bodes ill. i want warnock and his hideous horde of huns sent packing every time.
It is over. Well done The Blades!!! Yes, I still want them down.
Five Live is still on
can you do me a favor and let me know if you can listen to the radio. It says that it is for the UK only but I can hear it. I am listening to it through my radio widget and not the website. Does it make a difference?
You lads are the early birds, aren't you? What do you make of that early draw for the Blades against Liverpool? I reckon it must be a case of a promoted side playing above their heads against a big side getting a slow start. Early doors, eh?
I'm loving the FSC coverage here. A full half hour preview leading right up to the first live match. A definite improvement on last season when you had an infomercial leading into the early match and then more infomercial and then Bundesliga crap at the 10 o'clock. Maybe I'll get some decent kip this season.
Newcastle vs. Wigan - any preference, lads? I've always had a soft spot for Newcastle. I reckon their fans are long overdue for some success.
Yeah, Davey that's what I'm doing as well. I had trouble at first connecting when I bought this iMac, but this works so that's how I do it. I'm not technical at all so if I every figure out how to do something, I rarely try anything else that might be better.
Not liking the Blades getting even a point. L'pool should have to shower in cold water and be subject to two-a-days in penance for that shower. They were down for much of the match and only picked up a Fowler pen. I don't care even if they've parked the team bus in front of their goal. It's just NOT ON!
You're not listening to the 5-Live coverage of the Arsenal? WTF?
The radio is still on at High... sorry Emirates Stadium
Ooh, good sign. Graham Poll in charge so that 3 chances for Gilbo!
Not when I can watch Newcastle vs. Wigan on the telly. It's a matter of superior sensory fulfillment. Eyes over ears, lad. No disrespect. I'll follow the Arse on the Football365 site.
The spanking new gorgeous Emirates Stadium? Yessir!
Stevo, you have a Mac? Do you have widgets? Do you have the bbc widget? DAMN!!! It just blacked out. I am going to listen to Skysports Saturday Live
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The radio's just switched off. Thought I was in there.
So, I'm for upstairs. I'll check back at the half.
What's with the anti-Mac bias, Davey. Macs are the future for educators, mate. Get used to it!
I am not liking that they haven't started yet. The game is going to be a few minutes behind again
I love Macs. I have one!!! There was no anti-Mac here.
I wonder if they will give scores during the game on FSC
I reckon if you just stick with the FSC coverage, you're alright. I'm only checking the Coke scores on the Football365 site. I don't know why there's a delay on FSC, though. Something to write them about?
Bright start for Newcastle.
Last year they did and also at half time and full time obviously. The commentary team would just mention them, avoiding the scores of upcoming Sky televised matches, of course.
Crikey, QPR are already one up at Preston. I really expected them to struggle - and for PNE to do well this season. Losing their manager has really hurt them.
Luton are losing to Stoke
Newcastle are playing both Scottie Parker and Nicky Butt. Just how many negative holding midfielders do they need? I hate this trend toward to the five midfielders, with two as destroyers.
Heskey into the book for a rash challenge.
Luton are another side I predicted might struggle. Stoke - also rans I predict.
Heskie first in the book. 10 Million for him???
Did you see that Prem has stopped the teams from kicking the bal out if someone is hurt? The ref will stop the play if needed.
Yeah, there was some discussion of that on WSD this week after the referees meeting at Ewood Park. What do you make of that?
Bloody hell, how much rain have they had in Newcastle. It looks like they're ice dancers out there. Reminds me of the time that Don Revie had Elland Rd. flooded ahead of a European tie with Real Madrid.
Heskey is vastly overpriced, as are most English players - unless Leeds are selling them, that is!
am i right in saying that you don't want to comment on the prem scores?
Nicky Butt's coming off now after a knock from his teammate. He's got double vision. Always reminds me of the Foreigner song.
We might see Jamie Milner, speaking of ex-Leeds boys.
Nicky Butt already hurt
No James Milner
Bugger! Palace have scored away to Birmingham. Someone must stop them - they're running away with the Coke. A win would keep their perfect record.
Oh, and Everton have scored against Watford, one of my predictions for the drop. Didn't get those predictions from you, United. Are you waiting for some inspiration today?
He'll always be Jamie Milner to me, lad.
Nice raking drive from Parker, tipped behind by Chris Kirkland.
How was Kirkland the other night? Must've been decent to keep a clean sheet, eh?
The Hammers are losing to Charlton
Kirkland had a couple of good saves. He had much more to do than Robinson
Wolves one up against Burnley
Sir Trev. won't be happy. His Hammers are behind already. Darren Bent has opened his account for Charlton with a penalty.
Both of the goals this morning were penalties too, right? Must be something in the air today. Or the result of those new directives?
I am trying to listen to Skysports Soccer Saturday but it is not working.
I am listening to talksport. They do a good job.
I just heard that Palace have been pegged back
I don't think United's goal was a pen. It was a header in the first minute of the second half
What are you allergic to the telly? Is Kathy watching home improvement shows? The coverage is really good. Don't swear off the FSC just because your ManYoo boys won't be featured on it this year.
Eyes better than ears, mate.
I would love to see Villa score the first goal at the ES
I would love to see Villa score the first goal at the ES
Charlton down to ten men.
Can't you get live streaming matches through the Manchester United website, Dave? Maybe for a small monthly fee?
I have both on. I want to keep track on all the games.
Pompey one up
That's not very nice to the Gooner, Dave.
And Pompey had already missed a penalty earlier.
Yes, Brum have equalized against Palace. That suits me. I like draws. But we need a win today.
I missed the penalty miss.
I don't care... the gooner is going to take it.
The radio says that Cardiff are the brightest of the sides. Leeds have had one chance
I don't want to hear it, fishface!
Righto sir
The weather in the Newcastle game is just appalling. It looks like they're playing inside a giant shower. This is August in the UK?
Nice little goal there for Newcastle, made by Ameobi and nodded in by Scottie Parker. Why isn't he in the frame for England?
Steve Stone had to be taken off for Leeds. Bakke is on
Oh dear. That's not good. Bakke hasn't been that useful recently. It's interesting that it's only he and Gary Kelly who have survived from the O'Leary side that reached the Champs League semis.
WBA have suddenly surged to a two-nil lead against woeful Colchester, who could easily end up bottom of the table today.
Are you keeping an eye on the Prem games? The only one that is being shown is Reading Boro. Do you know the score of that one?
Yeah, I can't really avoid it. I was just avoiding commenting on it in case others reading the blog wanted to watch the match later. It sounds like that's the game they should've shown live. A cracker! Spurs vs. Bolton are up next live at noon. Are you gonna watch that too? I may take a break.
What's going on at the Emirates, Gooner? I just checked the stats page and it looks like the Arse are just edging it on shots and corners. I don't know why Arsene is playing Henry up front alone with Ade in support rather than Henry and van Persie together. Surely he doesn't fear Villa at home?
I will watch it. I have already warned Kathy and Debbie that I am not available until about 2:30. The good thing is that Kathy and the boys like to watch it too
Sunderland are losing again!! This time away at Southend
That helps. I've got it good that Karen likes to go to yoga Saturday mornings.
Yeah, I'm not happy about that Southend goal. It knocks Leeds down to 15th now. (sigh)
Look, they have only lost one game this season and that was a last minute goal playing with a man down.
I think they have started quite well
Yeah, we have had some tricky matches so far, but the problem is that 14 teams have started better. We need a goal!
From the bbc
1556: Quick check on the half-time entertainment. Fans at Upton Park get the Hammerettes, while St James' Park is treated to ex-Newcastle legend Rob Lee. His dancing lets him down though.
I don't know which one I would prefer
I like the sound of the Hammerettes!
Steven Taylor coming on at the back for Newcastle. He was wretched for the England U-21s on Tuesday. Did you watch that match, Dave?
Heskey has been rubbish today. Not worth 10 p., let alone ten million.
Southhampton have equalized against Barnsley.
Villa have scored!!!!!!!
Sorry Steve.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The Hammers have scored. They were losing last year's opening game at half time and won it. They had a great year. Same again
Oh dear, that's not good. Will they feel that the new place is jinxed?
I don't know why we insist on isolating Henry either. The obvious pairing is Van Persie. The longer this goes on, the worse for us. Must score soon.
Sorry, Gooner. This is not the start they wanted.
In better news, the Hammers are back in it. Bobby Zamora has equalized for them.
Arsenal are joint bottom as we speak.
Sorry Steve. This is my only chance to type that.
Kirkland is hurt again
Can you believe the Madjeski match
screw you David.
Goal for Wigan. Here go the Toon again
Now, now lads. None of that Arsene vs. Fergie needling on the blog please.
I'm liking all the draws in the Coke. Only three teams in the lead.
And Wigan have scored now! Nice finish from the Scotsman. Again it's the dreadful Steven Taylor that misses the header. What on earth is this kid doing on a professional pitch?
Luton have scored against Stoke again. They're joint second in the Coke now. What a turn up!
I just noticed that Luton have come from behind
Ipswich still haven't scored against Hull and Cambridge got a goal back against Weymouth. They are still losing 2-1
Newcastle back on top
Sunderland are two down
Newcastle back in the lead thru Ameobi. Nice flick from Duff after a pass out from Parker - he's had a great match.
Pompey two up
Kanu scored with his first touch. Arsenal need him
Ipswich could earn their first point today, but would still be in the drop zone. As for Sunderland, what on earth is Niall playing at?
who has had a great match. Parker or Duff
West Ham are up
They've already got him, Dave. Have you taken a look at Adebayor? They're twins separated at birth.
Parker - as I was saying earlier, I don't know why he doesn't get a look in for the England side, rather than an old boy like Phil Neville.
Rovers down to ten.
Lucas Neal is off for a second yellow.
Looking good for Pompey
West Ham are 2-1 up now! Zamora again.
Luton have been pegged back. Yet another draw.
Only Wolves, Southend and Boro are winning
Barnsley are up against Sotton
Yeah what a ding dong between Luton and Stoke. That's why I reckon FSC should show the occasional Coke game - maybe a game of the week. I think people would watch it. I would!
Poor weather, poor match and poor crowd at Elland Road
sotton have tied it up
THEO WALCOTT HAS COME ON THE PITCH FOR THE ARSE!!!
will he be a hero
Yeah, it sounds like the Arse are really giving it a go. Eboue has just hit the bar!
What a miss by Wigan
Total sitter - they should have been level.
Pen for Everton
They scored
BUGGER!!
Arsenal scored.
They will score another one now!!!
Robbie Blake has come off for Leeds. Doesn't sound like a good debut for him, unfortunately. And Horse is suspended for another two games after that elbow.
Oh, be charitable Dave.
Oh, be charitable Dave.
no
no
Alright, be like that.
So Watford are bottom of the table. That sounds like a pattern for the season.
Bollocks! Cardiff have scored now. What on earth?!
Pompey three up.
TOP OF THE TABLE
Cardiff just scored.
Oh dear
At least I'm not a Sunderland fan; they're three nil down now to a team that was in the Third Division two seasons ago.
Birmingham have just scored
Yes, that's the last perfect record gone for sure now.
Tremendous number of goals in the Premiership today - what a start to the season!
Four points from four matches for the Leeds now. Not good enough. I'm off for a quiet sulk.
Nice chatting with you lads.
I'm watching the tape delayed broadcast of the Reading match. I have to say that Marcus Hahnemann didn't look so clever on either of Boro's goals. Convey's playing well, though.
FSC is now (4:30-5) showing Super Saturday Plus, hosted by Nick and the Irish git who used to play the "bartender" on Fox Football Friday.
They're showing all the goals from today's matches, including the Setanta games. Not bad.
