Whats with the 12pm kick off for the Everton game?

[Niall_Quinn]

Probably don't want Utd fans piling back when City fans are drowning their sorrows after a shock loss to Wolves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NQ is probably right. Plus it's a way of getting it in on the Saturday without that clash, ahead of the Champions League. I mean, I can't remember too many times when we play Chelsea on a Saturday in the league (though granted we play on Tuesday).

Also, the Barcodes next few fixtures are pretty tough, starting from Monday. They soon have Man City and Man Utd away and then Chelsea at home, consecutively. :rose:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Merse is back on Soccer Saturday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chris Bevan has taken over the live text commentary now. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 Man Utd, Hernandez.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

still 0-1

[Marc Overmars]

Pretty big result for them if it stays like this, I'm sure many would have expected United to drop points at a tricky place like Everton, on the back of what happened last week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fergie has gone for catenaccio in this game by the sounds of it. Understandably so, of course.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

6 mins of Fergie time i mean injury time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6 mins of Fergie time i mean injury time

They're winning though. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 0-1 Villa, Petrov.

Me. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One goal so far? Terrible effort people.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-1 Villa, Wickham.

[Marc Overmars]

Maccy's baiting. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't want to wear it out so I'll keep schtum for a bit. See if these apparent professionals can do it without some prodding.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 0-1 Fulham, Dempsey.

I'd wave goodbye to Martinez but I don't think there is much point in doing that anymore.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't care about any of these games. Just thought you should know.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah I won't PM you the results then.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ah I won't PM you the results then.

I reported you to your ISP, btw. Bastards never do anything about it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do you expect Sky to do anything that would stop them making money?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Boos at HT in Citeh's game. :haha:

Probably for the ref, otherwise that's just ridiculous.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

City fans booing wtf Your top the league u cunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 0-1 Blackeye, Hoilett with an absolute stunner apparently.

Canadians. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Norwich 0-1 Blackeye, Hoilett with an absolute stunner apparently.

Canadians. :bow:

did you here merse, calling Jeff Jeffrey lol

is Merse on the sauce

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think the more pertinent question would be: Is Merse ever off the sauce?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I think the more pertinent question would be: Is Merse ever off the sauce?

tbf he's entetainment what ever way lol

[Master Splinter]

Norwich :(.

Time for them to man up in the second half.

And bring Holt on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricardo Gardner sent off for Bolton. :doh:

[GP]

Norwich :(.

Time for them to man up in the second half.

And bring Holt on.

STEVE HOLT!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 1-0 Bolton, Allen.

Coyle. :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Emile Heskey has elbowed Mignolet in the face, blood everywhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Wolves, Dzeko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Swansea. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 2-0 Bolton, Sinclair.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: Money City

[Master Splinter]

Sinclair :bow:.

He'll probably have 15 pels and no goal from open play at the end of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 1-1 Blackeye, Morison. Another great goal according to Merse. Sounds Henry-esque.

[Master Splinter]

A Wolves fuck up for the goal :doh:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: Swansea

[Master Splinter]

Norwich :bow:.

If Merse described it as Henry-esque, it's probably more Alfonso Alves-esque.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich should've had a pelanty apparently.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: Norwich

How do you do that line though a sentace thing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich :bow:.

If Merse described it as Henry-esque, it's probably more Alfonso Alves-esque.

Alves. :haha:

Close to £13 million 'Boro payed for him. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Alves. :haha:

Close to £13 million 'Boro payed for him. :wacko:

Better value than Torres tbf.

Torres :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 1-2 Blackeye, Yak. Ruddy might have fucked up for it.

:(

[Olivier's xmas twist]

blackeye go 2-1 up Yakubu

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-0 Wolves, Kolarov. Hennessey balls-up.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Citeh 2

[Master Splinter]

Shouldn't have sold Hahnemann.

McCarthy :wave:.

[Joker]

3-1 Blackburn

Samba

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 1-3 Blackeye, Samba.

[Master Splinter]

Norwich :(.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 2-1 Bolton, Graham own goal. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany sent off.

:haha:

Goalkeeping error from Hart. That's unusual for him though so we'll let him off.

Pelanty to Wolves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-1 Wolves, Hunt. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

When do you think the media will pick up on the fact Hart spills about ten shots a game?

2022, when England lose 5-0 to Wales in the World Cup I predict.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

When do you think the media will pick up on the fact Hart spills about ten shots a game?

2022, when England lose 5-0 to Wales in the World Cup I predict.

It took them about three years to realise Big Man hasn't been playing very well so I would make you fairly accurate with that prediction.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-2 Villa, Dunne! He has found the right net. :yikes:

[Marc Overmars]

Bruce. :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 2-3 Blackeye, Johnson. :wacko:

[Joker]

Blackburn can't defend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan 0-2 Fulham, Dembele. Solo goal according to Kammy.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 2-2 Villa, Sessegnon! Insane league.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-1 Wolves, Johnson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 3-1 Bolton, Graham.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

It took them about three years to realise Big Man hasn't been playing very well so I would make you fairly accurate with that prediction.

It's the players around Terry playing badly, you know.

It was RVP and Cech's fault he slipped today.

[Master Splinter]

Danny Graham :bow:.

The new RVP?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Norwich!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich 3-3 Blackeye, Holt!

Kean. :haha:

[Joker]

The same ref who fucked us over against Sunderland last season has messed up again apparently.

[Marc Overmars]

9 wins out of 10, that's got to be the best ever start to a Prem season? Chelsea might have done that in 06 but I can't remember.

[Master Splinter]

YES!!!

Grant Holt :bow:.

Good day for my GWPL team.

Norwich :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Brom: Foster, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Jones, Brunt, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas, Odemwingie, Tchoyi.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-1 Pool Adams (9) mins (pel)

[Master Splinter]

Proper GHEL fest is this.

WBA will be down to ten soon.

[Master Splinter]

Suarez slips and trips up Thomas, then rolls around to make it seem like he was actually fouled.

:haha:

What a dick.

[Master Splinter]

0-2, Ponytail.

Great pass from Suarez. Why does he need to be a complete twit when he's such a good footballer?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Brom. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Half-time is fast approaching, and West Brom seem to be waking up. Somen Tchoyi is involved again down the left but, when the cross comes in, Pepe Reina reaches it before Luis Suarez.


BBC :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez has to work on his finishing. Well, I mean I hope he doesn't but it's the one area he needs to improve on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does finish one this time (ok a few minutes ago), it was offside though. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 full time.

Chelsea at home and Citeh away next for Liverpool. :popcorn:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

0-2 full time.

Chelsea at home and Citeh away next for Liverpool. :popcorn:

After Swansea...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Me. :lol:

Still, it's on the horizon. After the international break.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins is commentating. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Traore playing?

QPR :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins is getting Anton Ferdinand and One Size mixed up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One Size off, Gabbidon on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade misses a sitter.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade clears now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

EPL defending :rose:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SWP is awful.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ade Still don't know how to beat the offside trap

[Olivier's xmas twist]

bale puts 1 over the bar

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade Still don't know how to beat the offside trap

A team of Ade, David Villa and Inzaghi would be brilliant.

[Master Splinter]

SWP is awful.

Ian Wright told me he's good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 VDV. Fell for him pretty kindly. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Damn, knew I should have put VDV in my FF team.

I'll do it this week and hopefully it curses him.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

TBF QPR would have been lucky to have lost 2-0 tbh, Hope they don't take a spanking though

[Olivier's xmas twist]

QPR having a shocker today then against after last week no suprise

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Traore :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 half time.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Derry off for Mackey
And Tarabat off for Bothroyd

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ade is terrible tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-1 QPR, Bothroyd I think!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Good goal.

[Master Splinter]

WPOTY again?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade misses another one.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins' reason for MotM. Parker isn't a VDV, Bale or Modric type player.

[Master Splinter]

Wilkins :haha:.

Should be put down.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pool will get the 4th over spurs tbh, Spuds GD is terrible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Xhaka Can’t]

http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article6255146.ece/ALTERNATES/w220/gareth-bale.jpg

Fuckin spa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hallowe'en football tonight. :bow:

Also, Sky's programme starts at 7, Gary Neville will go apeshit again on his review of the weekend's action no doubt.

[Cripps_orig]

Looking forward to the review more than the actual match

[Cripps_orig]

Gary Neville :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's a miserable git.

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

Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Ryan Taylor, Obertan, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Best, Ba.
Subs: Elliot, Santon, Ben Arfa, Perch, Gosling, Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steven Taylor with the Cody Rhodes tribute mask. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 0-1 Barcodes, Ba!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shawcross off, Upson on.

[Master Splinter]

Dawkes on duty :bow:.

Any howlers from him yet?

A shame there's only one game to keep him busy.


Phil Neville on Five Live.

Hopefully we can look forwad to the Hoyte Bros. takeover of the media soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really. Apart from this particular player judgement:


He is replaced by Matthew Upson - a decent back-up by anyone's standards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 0-2 Barcodes, Ba again!

Stoke. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilson hauled off, Hoof on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walters gives Ryan Taylor a good beating.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 half time. :lol:

[Coney]

0-2 half time. :lol:

Don't we want either Newcastle to lose or at least a draw, looking at the table? Even if it means Stoke don't lose?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really. For one, a Stoke win would mean they're a point behind us and for another, the Barcodes have the two Manchester clubs away, soon.

[Syn]

Don't we want either Newcastle to lose or at least a draw, looking at the table? Even if it means Stoke don't lose?

I don't really care. The question you have to ask yourself is - do you think there's much of a chance that Newcastle will finish above us at the end of the season? They've done well so far but they'll start dropping a lot of points very quickly sooner or later.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Etherington off, Kenwyne Jones on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Stoke!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch with the slow starfish.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke 1-2 Barcodes, Walters blasts it in.

[Syn]

Crouch with the slow starfish.

Seems to dive far too frequently for it to go unnoticed (even with the ghel adjustment).

Has to be called up on it sooner or later. Pathetic, lanky shit. The only reason somebody pays him to play football is because he's tall. If that's not the definition of failure, I don't know what is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cabaye off, Perch on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to the Barcodes. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3, Ba hat-trick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Ba is a friggin' steal on FF.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 full time.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ba is a friggin' steal on FF.

:jumpnana:

[cricketsi]

I read on the BBC website that the Stoke fans were booing Ba - Most likely because they didn't sign him, even though it was the club and not the player who pulled out. What retarded inbred wankers.

[GP]

I read on the BBC website that the Stoke fans were booing Ba - Most likely because they didn't sign him, even though it was the club and not the player who pulled out. What retarded inbred wankers.

They were booing him because he's black.




Probably.
