Unbelievable defending. Possibly the best header of the ball in the league given a free run into the danger zone, without needing todo any feints, blocking or pace-changes.

Last time for new page then I'll stop. 8 of us in there at the moment. Bud joined for exactly 11 seconds before leaving again.

It blows my mind that Routledge starts for a Premier League club with ambitons above a relegation battle

I hope we do sign Hitzlsperger. When he's not injured he would be way better than Neville in the midfield.
wish i had Sky
it will be one of my first purchases when i find a job (just finished Uni).Broder Salsa

I have to say their sports coverage is great. Not the commentators, but they show exactly the right amount of close-ups, repeats, reverse-angles for me.
Quite good.
Also congrats for finishing uni. What degree, if I may ask?
thanks! sure, Master of Science in business adminstration & economics (Wirtschaftswissenschaften).
yeah i already had sky (premiere) a couple years, unfortunately they terminated the contract in 2009 because the conditions were to good (22€ a month for the Bundesliga and the Sport package)
Right back at you.
hehe i wont complain!
Well, I wouldn't pretend or aspire to meet a judicial standard when I'm talking about football gossip. "Contamination" (my word choice, probably an over-generous one) by prejudice and preconception is sort of given, innit. I'm not judging as an elected arbiter; I'm summing up what I reckon. Potentially garbage, of course. I didn't intend to string it out.
And "skewing" is sort of intrinsic to the concept of opinions: that's what they do. You don't need me to tell you that disgust for JT and Ashley is hardly a minority or subversive view to hold.

That moment when Fellaini came up behind Britton was like a gigantic shark zooming up at a swimmer. I was afraid for the lad.
I know Hamburg haven't been playing well nor are they any good but they've got some ambition on them, and I'd like to think anyone facing Dortmund would love to get one over them. Which makes for a high tempo, and decent match. Which it has proven so far.
We had the same package! They also wanted to terminate it, and we said "fine, go ahead". Anyway, just before it ended, they called asking us to renew. We said "ok, but we're not paying any more", so they kept it at 22€ for another (this) year.
Oh well, at least you have a useful degree. You won't be searching for a job for long.
Thanks dudes
Great match so far!
Oh yes, congratulations!

West Ham United: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Reid, Collins, O'Brien, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Taylor, Vaz Te, Cole
Subs: Henderson, Tomkins, Jarvis, Maiga, McCartney, Benayoun, O'Neil
Sunderland: Mignolet, Gardner, Bramble, O'Shea, Rose, Cattermole, Larsson, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon, Fletcher
Subs: Westwood, Kilgallon, Vaughan, Meyler, Campbell, Wickham, Saha
Would have liked Jarvis to start, as we missed his crosses against Norwich and he didn't have much chance to make an impact coming on in the second half. Same goes for Maiga - I'd like to see him start, because Cole never inspires much confidence.

Stop trying to defend JT. Only JT's defend JT.
To be fair, I'm surprised Giggs doesn't get slated more.
Could we just drop this? The discussion was over. No need to bring it up again.
Good. We don't need to waste our time pretending to be morally superior to professional footballers. In the end, they are pretty much harmless.
i hope so, thanks for the kind words.
yeah the sky package is / was perfect. unfortunately the telephone operators wouldnt even talk about renewing the old contract, it was just 'take the new deal or leave."
wish i had Sky
congrats

He's kept his head down since the whole affair thing came down.

Me too. He hardly plays anymore though, and even when he does it's hardly noteworthy.
Hes a forgotten man!
I wish to contribute. Don't infringe my Gaffer rights.
thanks, and i have to admit: Gustavo is doing a great job so far!

Who's pretending? I'm almost certainly morally superior to a majority of footballers.
Not Rooney though. Man's a saint.
If we go any further someone will invoke the Wayne Rooney defense.
They've been all over the place so far and we're 20mins in.
To be fair Hamburg are trying there hardest. lol

Easy to say that behind your veil of anonymity and with your actions not being put into the spotlight. Not to mention the fact that most of us constantly justify our 'immoral' actions to ourselves so as to lead us to believe that we are better.
The part about Rooney makes me think you aren't being serious though so I am probably wasting my time with this post.
Fixed by GAF's lawyers.

From twitter:
When the line up was shown on Chelsea TV it showed Oscar in the pivot with Mikel with Ramires on the right next to Mata and Hazard on left.
*Sigh* When will RDM learn. Especially based on how well Oscar played in the middle against Juve.

Ramires is not a winger! So irritating. He would play better behind the 3.

Speaking personally, I don't slate Giggs because I can't fathom why people feel the need to whine about the misdoings of football players from teams they don't support. Such endeavors would only serve to waste my time.
I'd be a liar if I said I care about an MUFC players shagging habits.
I suppose the fact that players like Terry are involved with the national team is why people care. If Giggs were English, he'd be a joke like Terry.

I'd be willing to wager that most football fans care a lot less than they let on.
