Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 10th August 2015]

[Purdy]

Enjoy the season everyone, unless you're a fan of the other 19 teams


Haven't paid attention to much over summer but feel Spurs will get demolished.

 

[Shamikebab]

Knew Herrera would be dropped, sigh.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Bit surprised Spurs have managed to keep hold of Eriksen, can't even remember him being linked with any other clubs which is weird because he's immense.

 

[McBain]

William Hill are offering 2/1 on United to beat Spurs, 50K bets, max £10.

 

[dacads]

Yeah, back to being a bench warmer :/

As for Romero we will have to wait and see, saw a YouTube clip and his handling wasn't too good..

yeah really disappointed with that - should have continued with 4- 3 - 3 with Herrera in instead of Young

 

[shipinabottle]

Young instead of Herrera eurgh. He was probably our best outfield player last year. Got stuck in, bursts forward, genuinely a great eye for the right pass forward and quickly...

I like Van Gaal's "my way attitude", but his selections can be criminal. Can't wait, three games from now we'll see Fellaini back in the starting eleven

 

[The Running Man]

No idea if this will be amazing or lolworthy. Interesting times ahead.

 

[Shamikebab]

Bit odd that Jones isn't on the bench.

 

[Azza]

Here we go!

 

[Azza]

Wait... BT Sport have 3 commentators... What?!?!

 

[robfosters]

Do we really need three commentators? Glenn should do the decent thing and just push Owen off the gantry.

 

[Rids]

That was almost brilliant.

 

[manic111]

Ffs, finish that. Great play from Kane. He's not that quick or strong or a great dribbler, but he's clever. Like him a lot.

 

[Trusty]

Unlucky by eriksen, nearly awesome

Well a third commentator means less free time for Owen to be talking, unfortunately it's Hoddle.

Such a freaking old boys network, Hoddle, Redknapp, Owen, Rio. Can't stand the lot of them and we've got them having CL football now, how fantastic. There aren't many genuinely good ex pro commentators and going for mostly English players/managers regardless of how crap they are in commentary is a terrible choice by BT but very predictable.

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Really poor start by United.

 

[The Running Man]

Oh god why are we so terrible on the ball and get closed down and mata playing under weighted passes all the time:/

Keep hoisting it out to the wings:/

Stopped listening to Owen now but still have that annoying monotone voice going on!!
