Premier League $@!& talking thread (1 Viewer)

The NBCSports app live streams all of the premier league games. I think Fox has the FA Cup and League Cup rights.

Arsenal's team sheet made me groan. Missed penalty made me cry. Set piece defense made me scream. Second half defending made me pull out my hair. A total of 3 goals is gave me false hope that they can score. Am I a masochist for being a Gunner?

Yes. Don't fret too much over the missed penalty they scored 30 seconds later. I'd be much more concerned with your defense.

They could have shared the points if the pen went in. If Kos was at least available as a sub, maybe Arsenal gets the win. Wenger has to put the best squad forward and risk the injuries. Arsenal could have massive depth at every position if he, Kronke & Gazidas weren't such tightwads.

I would love to see what Wenger could do in just one season with Ushminov as majority owner and chairman and Dein as CEO. So many fans think a new manager will magically fix things. The cement heads in the executive box need to go too.

Arsenal needed another defender before all theirs got hurt.

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

They can have Alberto Moreno...

so with me being in the USA, having no cable TV and only access to the internet, is there anyway I can view vods of games? Even if it is a subscription service of like $100 a year. I always miss out on the games because the rare ones that do air on TV will air while I'm asleep or while I'm at work. I only get access to highlights on youtube and I would like to watch a few games on my downtime

Do you have a friend who has a cable or satellite subscription? All you need are credentials, and you can stream EVERY game online live. (Replays are a crapshoot. They post which ones will be available for replay on their twitter, but they aren't very good about doing that every week.) I cut the cord a few years ago, and this will be my third season watching online. My buddy whose credentials I'm using this year didn't have NBCSN, so he added it. It cost him $7 more a month on his cable bill, so I paid him $70 to keep it at least until June.

There are also some *ahem* not so clean ways to go about it.

I also use the same creds for Foxsportsgo, which has Champion's League rights

Other Arsenal Fans think so...

Hopefully Palace overpays for Benteke

Don't worry, Pardew will have converted both Benteke and Remy into leftbacks in a couple of months time!

City cruising, even without Aguero. United just lost to Feyenoord... How's that for "Noisy Neighbors"?


Still nervous about the season and Champion's League...

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Liverpool looked pretty solid yesterday at Chelski

 

[Toonexile]

Oh dear!
Is Mourinho having the same problems at ManUtd that he had at Chelski? 3 - 1 loss to Watford is his third straight defeat.

 

[Toonexile]

And the problems keep piling up for Jose.......
2 FA charges in a week
No win in last 4 matches
Only 9 wins in last 29 matches

 

[brains613]

Though I'm reveling in it, I'm not quite sure what their issue is. Too much talent and only one ball? Pogba spending too much time over the summer in Miami playing basketball with Lukaku? The Rooney saga? Curse of the Ewok (Mata)? Lonely Jose?

 

[Toonexile]

I think other managers may have sussed out how Jose sets his teams up. Also he has a lot of success when he has an excellent defensive midfielder to build the team around and I'm not sure he has that at the minute.

I agree. I think a strong CDM would improve United significantly more than just the upgrade in position itself.

With three years of deadwood accumulating at Old Trafford there were never going to be miracles in the first season.

I'm not sure United supporters would agree. Based on the hype before the season, and the naked way they pursued Pogba, they appeared to be expecting instant results. They're underachieving, right?

I saw a this note on twitter today:

Gundogan for #ManCity:
£21 million
5 Goals
3 Assists
0 Dabs
1 Haircut

Pogba's agent: £24 million


That's astounding, right? Doesn't Pogba have something like 4 goals and no assists? Gundogan took pictures when he arrived at the Etihad while in crutches and wearing a knee brace. I'm fairly sure he's played fewer then half the minutes of Pogba.

As a United supporter I can say with confidence that United supporters would agree. We know the dross that has entered the club and still remains.

That's a funny note on Pogba, but did you also know he has the most take ons of any United player, from midfield. He's created the most chances and completed the most passes. He cannot put the ball in the net for the people he's setting up. He's. It THAT good.

He's only as good as the players around him, which as I said are absolute dross. Get a better functioning team around him and he will come good.

We still have players like Valencia, Young, Fellaini, and Rooney getting a game.

They're not the real problem though - no world class defenders in the squad means that there is no solid base to build on.
Seems like SAF knew what he was doing when he timed his retirement as the squad needed a big overhaul that summer and Moyes couldn't get any of his main targets 'over the line'.

I feel a brace coming from Lukaku today, but will it be enough?

Trip to Stamford Bridge did not go well. Asshats using emoticons not funny.

I don't think they have an asshat emote

Wow... No posts since Novemeber..


Well, It's TIME! Today's the day, fellas. Arsenal v Leceister City starts in a little while.

City are favorites (again..) And that still scares me...

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Worried about my Reds. Coutinho is pushing to move to Barca and Liverpool's transfer window has been underwhelming. If they can somehow get Van Dijk I'll feel a little better, but with Lallana out 3 months and coutinho possibly gone they will be thin in midfield.

COYS!

Yeah. Saw that he handed in a transfer request. Not looking good for them. Van Dijk would be a prize. I was hoping he'd go to City.
