Not much going on here, you all watching footie?
No. Watching the Aussie-bashing in the cricket. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
OH YES
Oh No! Not a footie fan! [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] [img]frown.gif[/img]
Can't believe it, no footie fans, I get live matches at midnight and they show the highlights at 4 in the morning, its killing me already. Not a big cricket fan but I hope the Poms smash em, its 178 for 4 at the moment.
Just got another wicket, C'mon.
I was keeping quiet seeing as Newcastle lost yesterday [img]frown.gif[/img]
What about that sending off, I wanted Newcastle to win,being a Northern'er and all.
To be honest, I didn't see it as I in my Sunday afternoon position: Passed out on the sofa in front of the TV [img]wink.gif[/img]

I went to watch the mighty Aston Villa on Saturday and we scraped a draw, thank god footie is back!!!!
I've got Mellberg in my Dream Team though, -1, grrr!
49 points for the first weekend though. Not too bad a start.
The red card that Jenas recieved on Sunday as now been changed to a yellow after the referee viewed video evidence, what use is that after Newcastle played most of the game with ten men, the most ironic thing is that at Highbury they have a massive screen that shows replays, all the daft twat had to do was look up
Ah, what a pleasant thread. Especially for those of us living outside the Uk. Ive only jusy found a pub that shows the Premiership but the Guiness is 3.50 a pint.
Fuck off about Mellberg. You must be going soft.
Apart from being one of the most unpopular players in football (even the Swedes don't like him) he is a liability. That trick he always tries to pull when defending corners, where he imdedes the keeper, just no need to operate that way.

I had a good opening weekend with my fantasy football side 94.5 points! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
P Cech (Chelsea)
R Dunne (ManC)
M Silvestre (ManU)
A Cole (Arsenal)
B Emre (Newcastle)
S Giannakopoulos (Bolton)
D Murphy (Charlton)
S Parker (Newcastle)
S Ameobi (Newcastle)
R Van Persie (Arsenal)
W Rooney (ManU)
You forgot Geezer Butler on bass.
That would be bass shandy? [img]wink.gif[/img]
Surely Shandy Bass, I reckon they should adopt the video referee in the Premiereship as they do in the football (rugby) here. It does give referees the opportunity to assess dodgy decisions. As for Terry Vegetables he always was a bit of a lemon.
I'm doing the Dream Team in The Sun, but you're only allowed 2 players from each club, so you'd have to lose a Newky chappie.
Mellberg was in mine to make up the numbers, cos he's cheap and plays regular, being captain of Villa. United players seemed way too overpriced, and I wasn't that confident about them, but I think Rooney will prove better value than Van Nistelrooy. I tried to get value-for-money, but had to resort to a couple of duffers;
James (Man C)
Hyypia (Liverpool)
Toure (Arsenal)
del Horno (Chelsea)
Mellberg (Aston V)
Stelios (Bolton)
Gerrard (Liverpool)
Murphy (Charlton)
Jeffers (Charlton)
Shearer (Newcastle)
Heskey (Birmingham)
LOL!! Calamity James [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I know what you mean though when you have to take on some dead wood to balance out the cash [img]frown.gif[/img]
Mellberg is a great defender, but you should have gone for Laursen instead, bloody great player, watch out for a young kid called Steven Davis from Villa in midfield , he will be a major star along with Kevin Phillips this year for us.
Can't believe you went for that ugly blue nose Heskey up front, he spends more time on his arse than with the ball!!
55 points for my fantasy team so far!!
<font size="4" face="Arial">Which league?Quote:

Anybody fancy playing "Premiership Manager Dead Pool"?
Quite simply, name 5 premiership managers and the person that names the most that are not in the same job at the end of the season wins [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm in the yahoo league as well
my team
Cehc
Neville
Laursen
Upson
Lampard
Carter
Tiago
Mcann
Konchesky
Phillips
Vassell
Think i'll have to get rid of Tiago andespecially Vassell , now he's left the Villa, hopefully replace him with Baros eh!!!
Calamity James kept a clean sheet though, giving your Dunne some points.
It just goes to show how quickly you lose touch with the important things in life. It will take me most of the season watching whatever matches/highlights I can just to find out who is playing for who.
You never had it so good.
The Cricket has been far better [img]wink.gif[/img]
How can cricket be better than footie?
Easy - We lost 4-1 in the footie last night [img]mad.gif[/img] Calamity James strikes again! [img]mad.gif[/img]
So far, we are not losing the ashes!! [img]wink.gif[/img]
This weekend there will be some waytersports - BBQ round a friends house, hawaiian dress code and bobbing for beer cans are all part of the action [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm going to lay a modest bet on that it rains! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Change venues, I can guarantee it won't.
I was at the gym last night and they had on TV the ULTIMATE spectator sport!!:
Womens Beach Volleyball [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Agreed, saw some live when I was up the Gold Coast early last year, got sand all over my tongue.
Premiership, just watched Man U vs Villa, won't tell you the score, that Japanese dude looks useful for Man U. Van Nistlerooy has to be the best striker in Premiership.
Don't know about best, but he's probably the ugliest!!! That's why defenders never get near him really - Too frightened by his looks!!
Bloody cheating Northerners!!!
Ok , so they didn't cheat and were just better than us .
At least Birmingham lost, that made me feel a lot better!!
Take it your a Villa fan, think you got problems,I have to admit to being a huge Leeds United fan since Bremner,Lorimer,Clarke days. I have no idea which League they are in at the moment, really sad for a club like that, at least you got David O'Leary in charge.
Northerner's don't cheat.
Shame he can't manage a club that doesn't give him 100 million quid to spend though!!
Bedlam I think that japanese geezer is actually Korean & Leeds are in the Championship this season. Not a big footie fan meself but good to see my home team get off to a winning start in the new stadium. Prefer Rugby (both Union & League) & always have had
Rugby is huge here, or should I say Football, football has been renamed Soccer.
Gets a bit confusing doesn't it rugby is footie, football is soccer out there in Oz
