English Premier League No.3

[Jeremias]

Michael Ballack, Joe Cole and Juliano Belletti have all been released by Chelsea.

Will be interesting to see where they go now.

 

[Alpha1]

Well I wouldn't mind Joe Cole at Liverpool, especially if we can get him for free.

 

[Alpha1]

Joe Cole has joined Liverpool.

 

[Gouldy]

He is obviously chasing the big wage then, because he's not gunna win anything there>

In terms of England vs. Spain: Barca has got Villa, but City have signed Silva, Fabiano denies having 'advanced talks' with other clubs and Cesc still remains at Arsenal.

Thanks **** clubs are banning the vuvuzela!!

Are City planning to just buy every player in the world so other clubs just have to forfeit?

 

[Alpha1]

We need to get some class in the back half, and another striker I think.

Good news for Liverpool and Arsenal supporters. Apparently OneHD has gotten the rights to their matches, delayed of course.

Here is two posts from the OneHD forum:

I just saw the ad:

"Liverpool and Arsenal Games"
"Hot off the satellite".

....I don't know exactly what it means. Maybe some of their games? Maybe delayed?

www.tvcentral.com.au has advance guides up for week beginning 15 August:

Even though I'm a United supporter I'll still watch all these matches as its still the premiership.

I just hope it isn't old matches, but Liverpool and Arsenal are playing in the first match.

Good news for fans of those teams, but for me personally it sucks.

 

[Jeremias]

Tom Cleverley going out on a season long loan to Wigan.

Take care of him guns, he's a gem.

 

[Gouldy]

Thats fantastic news. I too am a Utd. supporter, but its showing signs that both Soccer and the premier league are starting to grow here in AUS.

 

[GordonBlue]

[blue gunslinger]

Going down

 

[Gouldy]

Explain and send a link? Sry I'm really busy atm but keen to join

Yep no worries... too late now I guess

 

[Jeremias]

Bye bye Wigan

Reina is a shmuck.

 

[RPCB]

Just a heads up tonight OneHD are replaying Liverpool/Arsenal at 10pm (Melbourne time).

 

[HBF]

We sure know how to snatch defeat (or a draw in this case) from the jaws of victory. Still, a 1-1 draw with Arsenal 1st up isn't a bad result. Given our tough run early, if we can be on the board early with some points, and get Torres fit, that might fire us up into September and beyond.

 

[Gouldy]

Man Utd. still awesome... Newcastle still shit

 

[Jeremias]

Newcastle weren't that bad but they were outclassed by a far, far better team.

I doubt they'll be relegated.

 

[blue gunslinger]

well I really liked the way the grass was cut in Wigan for the game v Chelsea
Great start to the year

 

[Gouldy]

Draw against Fulham at home is almost a gd result.

I'm happy with our start, Chelsea doesn't scare me.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Chelsea will be exhausted after the wigan game

 

[Gouldy]

Wigan over spurs... nice

 

[Jeremias]

LOL @ Man City.
