I'd normally join, but I've chosen not to give the Premier League any internet traffic of any kind this season. The fact they've all watched this summer's England performance and chosen not to give a crap by contributing to the problem yet again is enough on its own - but the part where they've determined that it's all about protecting the revenue stream from their TV and media sponsors by banning (or trying to ban) fans' Vines is a good backup.

What better way to make themselves look more out of touch than the MPAA/RIAA than banning the most popular short video clip medium on the planet that might entice younger, net-savvy fans to badger their parents into a ticket, or show their merits to fans in other countries who can't get Sky, BT or Sun+, or pay their subscription fees?

I saw your previous posts so knew why you hadn't joined. I understand your position too, the FA lost their objectivity long ago and gave so much control/power away they are unlikely to ever be able to get it back, even when they actually realise what they've done.

UK guys, Sky Sports is free atm, I'm not sure if it's just for today or the whole weekend, currently watching the rugby.👍
 
All the channels or just SS1 or SSN?
 
We have talked about the FA Cup on this thread before though...
 
 
OK, good start to the thread anyway 👍

First game is United v Swansea, here's the teams

United....De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Blackett, Lingard, Fletcher, Herrera, Young, Mata, Rooney (C) Hernandez

Swans....Fabianski, Rangel, Amat, Williams (c), Taylor, Ki, Shelvey, Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Bony...
 
That should be a proper wake up call to United that they desperately need new defenders.
 
Swansea on the upper foot now, 2-1 up and with the momentum, make it 3-1!
 
A bit wound up about the disallowed goal for M'boro but we didn't create enough clear chances.

EDIT: After the Man U result 1. Chelsea, 2. Man City, 3. Arsenal, 4. Liverpool.

Mike Dean lives in my home town. I might pay him a visit. A bad start for the one after the chosen one.

And @Famine's real football? Well, in the real real football the mighty Wrexham are WL so far. Ho hum. We never make good starts to the season but really, we have a good squad who just need a few games to gel.

1st Barnet 6pts +7
---
11th Aldershot 3pts +1
12th Wrexham 3pts -2
13th Grimsby 3pts 0
---
24th Chester 0pts -6

The Moyes effect, United look terrible, need a lot of marquee signings.
 
Always dangerous to do this when your own team haven't played yet... But impossible to resist...

Mau u... New season, same **** :lol::lol::lol:

:D
 
6-1 Victory for Celtic today against Dundee United. Man, we look good going forward but the defence is scary.
 
Did anyone else see a bird take a dump and it landing in Ashley Young's mouth? That vine is the intellectual property of the Premier League. If you watched that clip then you are a criminal, no better than a murderer, and deserve to be flogged.
 
Well were bottom of the league onwards and upwards.:irked::rolleyes:
 
Blackburn 1-0 up, Gestede :D

Oh and as a joke some fans writing #allardyceout after Tottenham were bumped into relagation zone on alphabetical order earlier :lol: @Akmuq
 
Well that wasn't in the script!, Fair play to Swansea they were well organised and dangerous on the counter, United have got so much to sort out!

Yeah and a prize tit trying to do it.
 
I think we need another left back as well as a centre back now, we had Young there for half the game and we have no cover for Shaw..

Lol a lot more than that.
 
I know that, I'm just saying we now need another left back as well as the other players we need, although we did have a lot of players out like RVP Evans Valencia Welbeck....I like Blackett though...
 
Benatia and Rojo would be great signings along with Di Maria :p. where in relegation zone now fl championship here we come jokes.
