[Ollie the Optimist]

feel sick at saying this but come on stoke :sick:

[Cripps_orig]

The big game concerning us is West Brom v Fulham. Hoping that's a draw. Also need Chelsea and Newcastle to win. Don't give a fuck about the Man utd result.

[Master Splinter]

Super Sunday :bow:.

[Rors]

Super Sunday :bow:.
Ain't it ever?

[Rors]

"Perhaps they (Arsenal) could do with having him(Terry Mancini)at the back- Motson.

I think we can safely say you have now hit rock bottom. It's only uphill from that...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Nasri, Barry, Toure Yaya, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero.
Subs: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Tevez, Balotelli.

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Neville, Fellaini, Rodwell, Osman, Coleman, Cahill.
Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Saha, Drenthe, Stracqualursi, Vellios.

Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Perhaps they (Arsenal) could do with having him(Terry Mancini)at the back- Motson.

I think we can safely say you have now hit rock bottom. It's only uphill from that...

Motty. :doh:

[Rors]

Motty. :doh:

Everyone knows it's Gus Caesar you're missing.

----

McGarry using the phrase "Super Frankie Lampard and JT". Get a room guy.... :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why do Chelsea attract more chummy insiders in the media than any other club?

[Rors]

Why do Chelsea attract more chummy insiders in the media than any other club?
That's been the way for many a year - going back to the days of Charlie Cooke, Bobby Tambling*, "Osgood Is Good" chants and all that. Leeches like Simon Greenberg are that taken to the nth degree.

*The same Bobby Tambling who scored five against us - at Villa Park! - the season we went down. Kenneth Wolstenholme described him in that game as a "cheeky monkey". A bit too mild that...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cheeky for scoring five? :lol: What's one goal? Slightly impudent?

They were talking up Hibbert in the studio on Soccer Saturday today. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell was Jagielka doing there? Good recovery though I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva is so good. FIFA player.

[Rors]

David Silva is so good. FIFA player.

Off-The-Ball-Control at its finest.

Fifa 05 :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero puts it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodwell shows his GHEL credentials by taking David Silva out. Booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Phil Neville has taken David Silva out. He's booked too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osman booked now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Yaya has been booked. They do let things go much more in the Premier League.

[Rors]

Other than the GHEL-isms, this one has sucked so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko balloons one over. Everton are definitely Citeh's bogey team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero cross, Howard just about got it away from Dzeko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry shoots from way out with the outside of his boot, easy for Howard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clichy's shooting is still as good as it ever was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart. :haha:

WTF?

[Rors]

Hart has a flap at one :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya shoots, miles wide.

Two added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1321: Sergio Aguero - quite good at football. The ball drops to the lively Spaniard on the edge of the box and he curls a fine effort that's creeping in the far post, only for Tim Howard to pull off a flying save.

BBC. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time. Like Rors said, pretty shit.

[Rors]

BBC. :haha:

BBC live score update staff - quite un-good at geography. Not dumbing down, repeat, Not Dumbing Down!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Olympics are possibly the worst thing to have ever happened to the BBC.

[Rors]

The Olympics are possibly the worst thing to have ever happened to the BBC.

I feel like I've already lived through the 2012 Olympics a million times over. The BBC cleared their schedules to broadcast four hours of the '1 Year To Go' 'Party' FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Will that be a monthly thing? They'll need to have two in October to make up for it now.

[Master Splinter]

BBC live-texters are the non-visible versions of Ortis.

BBC :haha:.

They've had an Ortis.

I like this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good work by Aguero, cross to the nearpost, Everton scramble it away, just about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC live-texters are the non-visible versions of Ortis.

BBC :haha:.

They've had an Ortis.

I like this.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/54550000/jpg/_54550317_sam1.jpg

Sam Lyon. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/54550000/jpg/_54550317_sam1.jpg

Sam Lyon. :bow:

Did Ortis have a Sam Lyon then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero tries to curl one from a fair distance, not close whatsoever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Ortis have a Sam Lyon then?

I dunno, Sam Lyon 'says' a lot. Ortis could barely get any words out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osman shoots from distance, straight at Hart.

[Master Splinter]

Nasri and Clichy seem to have the same habits.

So much for bad Arsenal coaching.

Nasri has so much talent, yet never takes advantage of time and space to shoot. He just hangs on to the ball. The best players are also greedy and ruthless; Nasri is not.

Clichy has so much space on the left, yet has no idea what to do. He could put in ten crosses or even shoot, but does nothing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill header, just over.

Fellaini. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Cahill would be the best player in the air of all time if he was taller.

[Rors]

Fellaini. :bow:

"I knooooow what I'm dooooing!"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart seemed to be annihilated by that corner. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri ran in to Aguero. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko off, Balotelli on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill goes studs in on Kompany, then pretends he is injured himself. :lol:

[Rors]

Cahill with a GHCL-special on Kompany.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill booked, eventually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ok my cynicism might have been misplaced. Looks like Cahill will need to go off.

Me. :lol:

[Rors]

Nasri :haha:

That is all

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmly struck by Nasri, Howard saves well.

[Rors]

Good effort from Nasri.

:tiphat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill off, Saha on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Everton, Balotelli.

[Rors]

Everton had a 2-on-2 there, but unfortunately for them one of those two was Saha. When Tony Lewis described Javed Miandad's late-career hobbles as him "staggering down the crease like an old tram", he could easily have saved it for ol' Louis.

[Rors]

Side-footer from outside the box plus deflection? That'll do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva hits the post!

[Rors]

Silva's first shot is blocked before then having a better effort on the rebound. He really IS a Fifa 05 player!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Phil Neville off, Drenthe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er that looked like a completely blatant foul by Kompany.

Webb. :doh:

[Rors]

Er that looked like a completely blatant foul by Kompany.

Webb. :doh:

Has Webb defected....?

[Master Splinter]

Webb :bow:.

Cementing his position as the worst ref ever.

The worst thing is that these cretins always look so sure and proud of their incompetence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mancini struggled to find players on the bench but looking underneath the sofa he has manged to find Milner apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has Webb defected....?

Everbody has a price...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero hauled off, Milner on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coleman off, Vellios on.

[Rors]

https://p.twimg.com/AaHDn_hCEAA7zDU.jpg

[GP]

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drenthe. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri hauled off, Savic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for David Silva.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jagielka booked. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Milner. Drenthe with an absolute shocker.

David Silva with the assist. What a player.

[Rors]

Silva gave himself five extra yards then in the blink of an eye.

Cautious :bow: in order I think

[Marc Overmars]

That was a brilliant and intelligent assist from Silva.

[Master Splinter]

Milner :bow:.

£26m for one PL goal.

Awful goal record too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)

[Marc Overmars]

Mata has started quite well for the chavs, I guess it shows size and power is not everything in this league, if the talent is there then it will show.

Spanish midgets. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Savic clears off the line from Fellaini's shot.

Referee: Stuart Attwell (Warwickshire)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 full time.

[Master Splinter]

Joe Hart, like Reina, is usually faultless tbh.

[Rors]

"[Joe Royle]'s balanced perspective on this when we return"

That'll make a change, as anyone who heard his commentary on the England - Portugal Euro2004 matchup will attest to.

[Marc Overmars]

Joe Hart, like Reina, is usually faultless tbh.

:lol:

2 of the biggest myths in the league.

[Master Splinter]

Frank and Steven on the bench?

Ingurrlund's golden generation :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 0-1 Spuds, VDV. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade sends one miles away according to Thommo, great chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Wolves, Roger Johnson own goal. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kammy has been silenced!

Disallowed goal for Fulham, I think.

[Rors]

Kammy has been silenced!

Disallowed goal for Fulham, I think.

Sian Massey no less...

[Rors]

There's your Rupert right there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lampard isn't happy. :lol:

Swansea are dominating apparently, though that is taken from Merse's report.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01236/Carousel_sky_25011_1236281a.jpg

There's your Rupert right there

:haha:

What a paper.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 0-2 Spuds, Bale.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 1-0 Blackeye, Ba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Swansea, Torres. Good finish according to Merse.

[Rors]

1-0 Chelsea, Torres may be back.

That said though, we will never forget 17:43 - Sunday 18th September 2011..... :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 2-0 Blackeye, Ba again.

Scott Dann fuck-up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Chelsea, Torres may be back.

That said though, we will never forget 17:43 - Sunday 18th September 2011..... :haha:

Torres. :haha:

For that he will be remembered.

[Marc Overmars]

Torres. :lol:

Money well spent.

[GP]

1-0 Chelsea, Torres may be back.

That said though, we will never forget 17:43 - Sunday 18th September 2011..... :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-0 Swansea, Ramires.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 2-1 Blackeye, Hoilett.

[Rors]

http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2011/09/23/058ae76431680e3b1bee45ce4f06336e.jpg

:haha:

Hargreaves would be proud.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 2-0 Wolves, Suarez.

[Marc Overmars]

Swansea. :rose:

Sinclair consolation please for FF purposes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres sent off!

:haha:

[Rors]

Torres off :haha:

He's done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolute shocker of a challenge according to Merse.

[Marc Overmars]

:haha:

Just when you think the poor bastard has turned the corner.

[Master Splinter]

Torres :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 1-2 Spuds, Diame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 2-1 Wolves, Fletcher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 3-1 Blackeye, Ba hat-trick.

[Master Splinter]

Ba hat-trick.

Three bags full?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bosingwa clears off the line!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kammy has been silenced again!

Sky. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gohuri sent off for Wigan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Olsson sent off for Blackeye.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-0 Swansea, Ramires with his second. :blink:

[Master Splinter]

Great chance for Wolves at Anfield to equalise - Christophe Berra heading wide after Pepe Reina races out unwisely. Liverpool getting nervous.

Faultless Reina strikes again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's unusual for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez isn't happy. :lol:

Stevie Me on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-1 Swansea, Williams.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Rooney for Man Utd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 4-1 Swansea, Drogba.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck. He'll get automatically subbed on FF yes?

Silva was my vice captain I think, so that's ok.

[WengerISaLizard]

Oh FFS, how do you concede to swansea?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

we almost did and only won 1-0

laughed my tits off to see Torres scored then got red

[Japan Shaking All Over]

just saw the tackle......fucking disgusting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke: Begovic, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.
Subs: Sorensen, Huth, Whitehead, Upson, Shotton, Jerome, Palacios.

Man Utd: De Gea, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Nani, Anderson, Fletcher, Young, Berbatov, Hernandez.
Subs: Lindegaard, Owen, Giggs, Park, Welbeck, Fabio Da Silva, Valencia.

Referee: Peter Walton (Northamptonshire)

[Marc Overmars]

Is it just me, or do Fulham draw a shit load of matches?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's not just you. 16 last season. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Come on Walters :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez and Begovic have collided.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1733: ...and it's an early flap from David de Gea - highly unconvincing from the Spanish stopper - as Rory Delap's long throw causes Man Utd's keeper all sorts of problems, the visitors fortunate Matthew Etherington's follow-up is not great.

De Gea. :lol:

Whelan booked, shocker of a challenge acccording to Talksport.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hernandez has to go off, Owen on for him.

More guinea pigs for Man Utd to test on.

[Master Splinter]

Garcia and Lil' Mickey front line?

I don't think Fergie expected that :lol:.

Let's see if Owen can do it against a non-pub team.

[Master Splinter]

Also, how many injuries has Hernandez already had this season?

If he was an Arsenal player, they'd have put him down by now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least three I think. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 0-1 Man Utd, Nani solo goal apparently.

[Master Splinter]

Brilliant from Nani.

You knew that was a goal as soon as he got it.

[Master Splinter]

Great save from Almunia #2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This Nani thing is getting a bit concerning tbf, Fergie has turned him in to a mini-Ronaldo.

[Marc Overmars]

If Nani continues the way he is going he's going to reach Ronaldo's United freak level (06-09).

Probably not that far off right now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani scoops one over. :lol:

Stoke defending like dickheads.

[Master Splinter]

Utter fuck up from Begovic.

Nani didn't make him pay though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Delap uses his feet to hit a shot wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea tips one round the post, denying Walters' shot.

[Master Splinter]

De Gea :bow:.

Revert to type FFS.

[Master Splinter]

Scrote have probably been the better team.

[Master Splinter]

Crouch is so shit.

[Master Splinter]

More worrying than Nani becoming consistent is Anderson actually becoming decent.

He's now finally playing well against teams other than Arsenal.

Bebe to return as the new Figo?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More worrying than Nani becoming consistent is Anderson actually becoming decent.

He's now finally playing well against teams other than Arsenal.

Bebe to return as the new Figo?

Not even Fergie can do anything with Bebe. More likely to be the new Quaresma, just without the circus tricks.

[Master Splinter]

If Stoke attack in numbers, then Etherington's flair could pay dividends.

Just get Stephen Merchant off. Even Jerome would be better.

[Master Splinter]

Crouch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me :pal:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So Crouchinho scored eh? :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch had another chance to score.

[Master Splinter]

Crouch misses a sitter now :doh:.

Rio :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Bright start to the half from Ashley Young and Nani, the pair twinkle-toeing their way in and around the Stoke defence before the former' cross is poked wiof the Stoke goal six yards out. Tough chance, but could he have done better?

BBC :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Wilson's free kick saved by De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Offside given, should've been a pelanty from a Shawcross handball.

Man Utd without Howard Webb. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

United denied a pelnaty :lol:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Offside given, should've been a pelanty from a Shawcross handball.

Man Utd without Howard Webb. :rose:

Don't agree. The offside occurs when the ball is played, which must have happened before the ball was handled. Provided Owen was considered active, which he must have been.

[Marc Overmars]

Stephen Merchant. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't agree. The offside occurs when the ball is played, which must have happened before the ball was handled. Provided Owen was considered active, which he must have been.

Relying on Talksport tbf.

[Master Splinter]

That 'wiof' mistake is still there.

BBC :doh:.

Or is it one of those new combiney words that are cool?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It could be shortened for 'wide of' I suppose. It's still stupid. Lyon is a dick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch misses a header from four yards out. :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

He was all over Jones too :lol:.

Why does Merchant need elevation when he's already twice his size?

He's the antithesis of Tim Cahill.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch puts one wide, dear me.

[Master Splinter]

Jerome coming on.

United :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggs puts it over from four yards out.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Giggs should have won it for United :lol:.

[Master Splinter]

Owen offside.

But Begovic saved anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 1-1 Man Utd, full time.

[Master Splinter]

Fergie :lol:.

[Cripps_orig]

Torres :haha:

Mancs :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Anyone know the MOTD order?

[Cripps_orig]

Mancs up firstDe Gea is pretty awesome. Ffs.

[Marc Overmars]

De Gea did look good.

For a change. :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You'd think Torres' finish and turn was the best ever executed the way Merse talked.

[Marc Overmars]

Mata assist for Torres.

Spanish midgets. :bow:

[Rors]

The good bit is coming up now... :popcorn:

[Rors]

No complaints.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man tried reversing the decision but not even he can get a shocker of a challenge like that rescinded.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crazy from Torres. What was that about?

[Rors]

Crazy from Torres. What was that about?

I'm sure in three minutes time we'll find out it was "frustration" :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Cole rolled back the years for Ramires' goal.How he is missed.Torees deserved to go. That's 3 games. Does he miss our game?How the hell did Swansea outplay us when 10 men Chavs destroy them?

[Cripps_orig]

Crazy from Torres. What was that about? "Trying to hard"That's my tip on what will be said

[Rors]

Just show the miss.
Just show the miss.
Just show the miss.

[WengerISaLizard]

who's the milf on the chelsea bench?

[Rors]

Just show the miss.
Just show the miss.
Just show the miss.

"He got himself in that position". Don't we know it?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres. :haha:

Still funny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

who's the milf on the chelsea bench?

Malouda? :unsure:

[Rors]

"We've had an email from a listener saying 'Hazel Irvine Is A MILF. What does that mean?" - Eamonn Holmes, May 2008.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva. :bow:

:sick:

[Rors]

That was all on the left foot from Silva too - i.e against the natural angle. Bastard.

[Niall_Quinn]

City have a lot of quality now. You can easily see the difference paying the extra money makes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart. :haha:

What a dick.

[Marc Overmars]

Silva and Mata are 2nd string for Spain. :lol:

Mata may even be 3rd. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're on now.

:scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Cracking goal by RvP.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was Theo doing for that one-on-one? :unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

What was Theo doing for that one-on-one? :unsure:

He must have been very confident to take it early like that, in the past he has tucked away some nice finishes despite having more time to make a decision. But in those situations, under no pressure at all they really need to be put away in the most simple manner.

I was unaware of this chant before today. To paraphrase De la Rocha - "ignorance was bliss, now that's wiped the smile off my face":


When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother, what should I be? Should I be Villa? Should I be Blues? Here's what she said to me - Wash your mouth out son, don't mention the city scum, just follow the pride of Brum - be Villa Villa!

:doh:

[Rors]

Andy Dunn-ce putting Torres' red-card down to "frustration". So only had to wait 12 hours for it :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's strange how you can get frustrated after scoring a goal.

[Rors]

What better way to warm up for 4pm than by watching the 1982 European Cup Final, as Sky+ed from ESPN Classic earlier :bow: :trophy: :D

For the uninitiated, think 2005 FA Cup Final and multiply it by 100... :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save by Kenny to keep out N'Zogbia's freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time.

[Rors]

"Boring boring Villa" chants. Hard to argue on that showing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Eck. :bow:

Endearing himself to Villa-Talk with every game.

[Rors]

As if it wasn't bad enough...

@henrywinter
Henry Winter
Wonder what Cameron and Capello are chatting about at half-time....devaluing the Euros in 2012?

[Rors]

Big Eck. :bow:

Endearing himself to Villa-Talk with every game.

What with that lot and the #avfc hashtag I'd sleep with both eyes open if I were him...

[hobson's choice]

I'm all for different styles in football. but Mcliesh should be banned from managing, I feel for Villa and any fans who teams are manage by him.

[Rors]

Not much else is, but at least Ratboy's attempts to talk tactics are keeping me amused..

[Rors]

[Joker]

Warnock rant :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Dunne the record own goal scorer :bow:.

Carragher is pissed off.

McLeish :lol:.

Should be sacked for not playing Manilow tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen the incidents.

Definite pen

QPR should have had 2 red cards.

Awful challenge from Traore

He was just named MOTM and he scored the OG? :haha:
