No Torres

 

[Wilbur]

Such a weak Arsenal squad. Not one world class player in there.

Cazorla is very good, Walcott can be very good and Wilshere is potentially top class. But not one player that you'd have in any team in the world.

 

[phaze]

Well let's do it. Hope we will see something from Cazorla and Walcott. They had a weak game against Villa.

 

[LanceVance]

Bring the Lols arsenal

Welcome to Roma

Roma presented their squad to the fans – including Erik Lamela – amid jeers, banners and protests.

The Open Day 2013 saw 25,000 supporters pack into the Stadio Olimpico to salute the players for the new season.

They all ran out individually, including Lamela despite negotiations for a €35m move to Tottenham and clearly incorrect rumours of the Argentine being in London for a medical.

Curiously, Lamela's girlfriend Sofia Herrera (who is in the Stadio Olimpico) tweeted "What a grand farce..." and then quickly deleted it.

However, there was loud jeering when the coaching and fitness staff walked out, plus during the team’s lap of honour.

There were also several angry banners aimed at the club and squad, most importantly this large message referring to the Coppa Italia defeat to rivals Lazio: ‘Not being able to make up for a defeat is worse than the defeat itself.’

Other banners read: ‘Get your hands off Lamela,' ’26 May: we will not forget’ and ‘We only stand by the shirt.’

There were the usual chants insulting Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, even though he has now moved to Southampton.

“Good evening to everyone,” said Coach Rudi Garcia. “I am very happy to see so many Roma fans. You can be certain of one thing: we will give our all so that you Roma fans can be proud of your team.”

The squad then began a training session and game between ranks on the Stadio Olimpico pitch.

Plane flies over Roma's Open Day. Banner trails behind it. Laziali reminding them of defeat in the Coppa Italia final

Lazio plane a response to the one Roma fans had fly over the Olimpico during the Super Cup. Plane company must be doing well out of this

Our kit looks silly with blue shorts.

 

[Shake Appeal]

A Norwich fan appears! Get him on the list.. even Northampton Town has two fans!

Norwich are my favoured team in the EPL, if that helps.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Really hope Lampard - Ramires won't be Mou's preferred midfield.

Ahem

Mikel will probably start in Europe and against the top teams, but at home against teams like Hull and Villa you want to go for the jugular and get goals.

 

[GQman2121]

Try using your Comcrap user name and password. WatchESPN doesn't support DirecTV but I was able to find a work-around by using my ATT internet username and password (and it's not even U-Verse). You don't lose anything by trying.

It's a no go. I do get ESPN 3 with my internet though.

I'll have to see if my parents our in the county have a way to let me use their details.

Ramires will have to step up his fucking game again then. Van Ginkel has looked really good and Essien also surprisingly decent.

 

[Koko]

Hazard!

 

[Sloosha]

What a lovely pass from Oscar.

 

[GQman2121]

Dat Hazard. Dat fantasy Captain.

 

[Meier]

I have a buddy who lets me use his Comcast login for HBO Go so I just am using his for NBCS Live Extra for the time being. Still annoying though.

 

[Slizz]

Just like the Arsenal game. Villa to win 3-1

 

[Splatt]

Unlucky Guzan.

 

[Broder Salsa]

HAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD

 

[Meier]

Hazard!

What a lovely pass from Oscar.

Dat Hazard. Dat fantasy Captain.

The iPhone app is apparently about 30 seconds behind. Hazard is my fantasy captain too though. I wonder if they'll call it an OG instead?

 

[Wilbur]

Fuck that's so unlucky for Villa :/

and fuck it won't count as a Hazard goal either will it, no FPL points

fucking CHELSEA YOU CUNTS

 

[L1NETT]

Did Hazard score or was it an OG?

 

[Tc91]

My brother told me about a free bet if you bet on Chelsea from William Hill so I go open an account deposit £10 and bet on Chelsea to win.

I needed to bet on Arsenal to win -__________-

Chelski pls.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Fenerbache looking surprisingly shaky so far. Giving the ball away consistently. I feel better now, but I'll probably swallow this post a few minutes after hitting 'submit'.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Did Hazard score or was it an OG?

OG.

 

[Shagwell]

Maybe he's a Time Warner subscriber like me?

Does timewarner not have the channel on telly or does it only lack the online?

 

[L1NETT]

Oh shit its Dirk Kuyt. Still running around then.

OG.

Ah damn.

 

[Eanan]

yeah Luna OG Id say.

 

[Lambda Pie]

who's a Norwich fan? let me know so i can add him to the list.

 

[Koko]

At least count it as an assist.

 

[Meier]

Does timewarner not have the channel on telly or does it only lack the online?

It's available with digital cable on TV, but they do not offer the streaming option yet. It was streaming during the Olympics last summer so I figured it'd still be available but it's not.

who's a Norwich fan? let me know so i can add him to the list.

Eanan is. Proper GAF newbie too. Seems his (presumably) account was approved just about instantly based on the registration date.

 

[Suen]

Luna own goal? Revenge! Let's go Arse!!

 

[pulga]

Oh hey, Arselol is on. Gonna watch a bit.

 

[Lambda Pie]

watching Arsenal with french commentary is oddly... fitting.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Bruno Alves is dire

 

[L1NETT]

And Joesph Yobo! Average Ex Merseysiders FC.

 

[Suen]

watching Arsenal with french commentary is oddly... fitting.

But watching Chelsea TV when Benfica play is the best!

 

[Meier]

What a pass from Hazard to start that break. My goodness.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Kuyt>Oxlade Chamberlain

 

[pulga]

Rosicky is still alive? Holy hell

 

[Lambda Pie]

Eanan is. Proper GAF newbie too. Seems his (presumably) account was approved just about instantly based on the registration date.

oh, i remember him. Conor McGregor's number 1 fan. gonna add him to the list.

 

[Yurt]

I'm watching it without commentary.

Also oddly fitting.

 

[Eanan]

Not another injury for wilshere...

 

[Wilbur]

My boy 7alah scored for Basel already. Wilshere dead already. Chelsea winning already.

war

war never changes.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Rosicky is still alive? Holy hell

Been playing really well, even. Was really dangerous in the VIlla game, just couldn't finish his two chances (though one was an excellent save). Excited for him this season.

Pls get up, Jack.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fener giving the ball away for fun. Dismal passing display

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

pls b ok wilshere

 

[L1NETT]

Kuyt>Oxlade Chamberlain

My nan > Kuyt.

Glass Wilshere down. Wenger's chequebook remains unmoved.

 

[Plasma]

Fuck now Wilshere injured?
