Holy. shit.

Football. tomorrow.

God I love this feeling.

Some very interesting Day 1 matchups as always. I am really looking forward to Spurs/City.

 

[Akim]

No idea about that but you could always view the matches from a live internet stream.

nah I can't, I got a 10 gb bandwidth cap here.

 

[xintin]

I might make it home to catch the last 5-10 mins of Chelsea/WBA
oh well, Spurs/City and Arsenal/Liverpool on Sunday should be fun to watch.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

So excited football is back today,Its been a long wait even with the world cup :lol

Hope we put up a better fight this year(Gunner)

 

[Nyx]

Dutch Media say that Aston Villa also has Ronald Koeman on a shortlist for their new manager. :lol

They would crash and burn if they take him.

 

[Ushojax]

Cannot wait for Spurs/City today. We've beaten the mancs 11 out of the last 12 times we've played, and in the league last season we scored 4 goals against them and conceded zero. Come on you spurs! For the sake of the league, we must win!

I'm looking forward to the return of Alan Davies' Arsenal podcast.

Yeah it's a great show,I think Alan said he would be recording on Monday.

Spurs v City match is today. 1245 GMT.

Can't wait for City to fall apart, and see the regret on Yaya's face for leaving Barca.

I'm in Frankfurt right now and I want to watch the premier league, but I don't have a TV. Do you think any sports bar would be showing games here? I don't know if they are to into the premier league here when they have Bundesliga.

The one I can think of is the "Irish Pub" in Bornheim

[elseanio]

It's here! So fucking excited.

 

[industrian]

I didn't see this until now:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/8908183.stm

Probably not as good as Kris Boyd, but it's nice to see new players in a Rangers shirt. He'll probably be playing today against Kilmarnock.

The MASSIVES:lol

They ran an advtertising campaign on the sides of busses in Manchester to sell season tickets because they are a MASSIVE club

 

[industrian]

So what are GAF's predications for today? The big matches in the UK today:

English PL:

Tottenham v Man City
Aston Villa v West Ham
Blackburn v Everton
Bolton v Fulham
Sunderland v Birmingham
Wigan v Blackpool
Wolverhampton v Stoke
Chelsea v West Brom

Scottish PL:

Inverness CT v Celtic
Aberdeen v Hamilton
Hearts v St Johnstone
Rangers v Kilmarnock
St Mirren v Dundee Utd

I'm not sure about England, but in Scotland:

Celtic win
Draw
Hearts win
Rangers win
Draw

I'm sure he'll be happy to be playing with his brother regardless. But yes, it will be an interesting test for the City project.

 

[KidA Seven]

Who's starting for Tottenham?

 

[industrian]

Who's starting for Tottenham?

Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Modric, Huddlestone, Bale, Crouch, Defoe.

Subs: Cudicini, Kaboul, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Palacios, Giovani, Bassong.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Toure, Kompany, Kolarov, Wright-Phillips, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Tevez.

Subs: Given, Zabaleta, Adebayor, Adam Johnson, Lescott, Vieira, Jo.

Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Hart first-choice, eh? Given to leave City then. If Wenger knows what's good for him...

According to the rumours, Manchester City would prefer selling Given to Celtic than a Premiership rival.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I would love it if we could get Given, I don't think we can win the league with Almunia or Fab in goal.

 

[industrian]

I'm watching Inverness Caledonian Thistle vs. Celtic right now and it feels weird being able to actually hear the crowd.

 

[Plasma]

I would love it if we could get Given, I don't think we can win the league with Almunia or Fab in goal.

I really doubt City would sell him to us.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I really doubt City would sell him to us.

Sadly your probably right.

I would've had Johnson on instead of SWP, don't rate him at all.

Hope Spurs beat City though, would hopefully knock them down a peg or two.

 

[industrian]

Inverness are dominating Celtic.

Only reason i think SWP starting over Adam Johnson is due to the internationals. SWP was training with City all week whereas Johnson was with England

 

[GQman2121]

This ESPN feed is hella crackling through my surround sound. It's killing me!!!

Crouch close for Spurs!!!

 

[Plasma]

:lol

Yeah same here.

They gave a goal kick :lol

 

[GQman2121]

Where is Robinho? He can't even make the bench? Really?

Great save by Hart. Holy shit!!! This game is not disappointing so far.

 

[Arnie]

<3 Chris Kamara

 

[elfinke]

Go you good Spurs!

Hurray for the return of the EPL, and just as importantly, the return of The Fifth Official

It's been a good first 15 minutes in the Tottenham v ManC game - Hart is on fire O.O

 

[Plasma]

Hart is making great saves left and right.

Man City spend all this money on forwards and attacking midfield players and they've barely got it out of their half.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Fantastic opening 15.

 

[kharma45]

Joe Hart is bloody Superman!

 

[GQman2121]

Joe Hart is playing out of his fucking mind right now!!! My god, they should be down by 3 right now. City looks like shit. :lol

 

[xbhaskarx]

Incredibly exciting so far.

 

[kharma45]

Joe Hart is playing out of his fucking mind right now!!! My god, they should be down by 3 right now. City looks like shit. :lol

Hopefully it's signs of things to come for them

 

[Wandering Leopard]

As an Arsenal fan I'm really not looking forward to anything this season :lol

 

[mokeyjoe]

Joe Hart is bloody Superman!

So glad I kept him in my fantasy team now!

 

[Plasma]

As an Arsenal fan I'm really not looking forward to anything this season :lol

We should be alright we just need a GK and a CB.

 

[GQman2121]

Hopefully it's signs of things to come for them

I'm sure that will all change when Bolatelli is finally introduced to the team. :|

 

[Baconsarnie]

We should be alright we just need a GK and a CB.

Would like a DM too, Wenger admitted we lack experience there but then decides we don't need to sign someone as we have Frimpong (18 and never played a PL game!)

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

As an Arsenal fan I'm really not looking forward to anything this season :lol

We'll do fine, Can we win it? That's the issue.

Injuries could ruin it though, We don't have the quality replacements if the injuries require them.

 

[Plasma]

Would like a DM too, Wenger admitted we lack experience there but then decides we don't need to sign someone as we have Frimpong (18 and never played a PL game!)

A DM would be nice but I think we'd do ok without one, we need a CB and a GK though.

I think Frimpong will do what Song did, come in and play bad at first but eventually become a good reliable player.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

We should be alright we just need a GK and a CB.

Yeah but I don't trust the manager to get good players in for those postions - the Schwarzer deal when there are so many better than him. And I would say we need a decent back up for Song because I just don't think Denilson is good enough.

 

[GQman2121]

These new Spurs kits are not as nice as I originally thought they were.

Still not as bad as our 3rd kits though. :lol

 

[Baconsarnie]

A DM would be nice but I think we'd do ok without one, we need a CB and a GK though.

I think Frimpong will do what Song did, come in and play bad at first but eventually become a good reliable player.

hopefully, think Song - Frimpong combo in front of the defence will make us alot more solid at the back, but we could do with some experience to help bring him through.

 

[kharma45]

Someone from Spurs please get that ball into the back of the net :lol
