Skrtel is hurt and will probably miss the opener vs Sunderland. Hopefully Agger stays fit or Andre Wisdom might start!

Chimaera · 08-04-2011, 11:29 AM

they will get a central defender

SuperSaiyanBeastmode · 08-04-2011, 06:45 PM

is it weird that I just saw a gerrard liverpool jersey at the red sox game on tv? That really pumps me up for this season for some reason. Only 9 more days...

Reporting to training on Monday and wants to play against Sunderland.

Would be surprised if in fact he did not at least play that game, then start against Arsenal.

Suarez has been known for playing as soon as he comes back to Ajax.

Guy just wants to play.

I hope so. I really do, i'm not so sure it looks likely though at this point.

who has the EPL broadcasting rights this year for ontario??

SuperSaiyanBeastmode · 08-07-2011, 07:47 PM

Sportsnet, I checked the schedule for next week and their airing a game at 9:30am saturday(i'm assuming it's liverpool-sunderland) and one at 12pm on sportsnet one(both of the games are tba). I don't think arsenal is going to be on tv because no one usually airs live games at 1:30pm. Your probably gonna have to stream on the computer the first week.

Epictetus · 08-07-2011, 08:50 PM

Is there any EPL fantasy sites, with like a draft lol? Not a budget style system haha.

TML g u n n e R s* · 08-07-2011, 10:28 PM

i miss the score and sportsnet combination

Cruiser008 · 08-07-2011, 10:54 PM

Man U coming from 2 down to defeat Man City in the Community Shield. Some things never get old

Live in the Now · 08-11-2011, 07:28 PM

Some Carling Cup draws that may interest people here

Exeter vs. Liverpool
Everton vs. Sheffield United
Brighton vs. Sunderland
Norwich vs. MK Dons
Scunthorpe vs. Newcastle
Leyton Orient vs. Watford/Bristol Rovers
Doncaster vs. Leeds
QPR vs. Rochdale

GB · 08-12-2011, 07:20 AM

That's gonna be a long-trip, especially midweek, but I've never been to Brighton so I may go to that.

They play good football under Poyet along with having a nice, new stadium. Would be a fun trip.

outerone · 08-13-2011, 08:30 AM

So ready for the new PL season!!!! GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!!!!!!!

It's more the trip back and getting up for work the next morning. Damn, I'm getting old.

DEVILS ALL THE WAY · 08-13-2011, 09:17 AM

I need a stream for the Arsenal game today against Newcastle. My cable provider doesn't carry SportsnetOne

Thanks !!!!!

Rizer · 08-13-2011, 04:42 PM

And the award for most blatant dive of the season goes to.. Gervinho! I doubt anyone can outdo that swan dive in the next 37 games. 9.9/10 for sure, plus the bonus red card for diving is a perfect 10.

Also, Norwich look like garbage. I've followed them since 04 and waited for them to get back in the Prem and they looked pretty bad. 16th or 17th would be great from what I've seen.

Live in the Now · 08-13-2011, 04:52 PM

Suarez will out do that dive at least once. Gervinho will also out do that dive at least once.

Norwich should have had the three points there, De Laet was pretty bad and it cost them.

EventHorizon · 08-13-2011, 05:19 PM

I have a feeling it's going to be a rough year to be an Arsenal fan again.

I was surprised to wake up this morning to see Suarez had scored. Everything that was reported after the CA stated he wasn't going to play, so obviously there was a change in heart by KD, or Suarez convinced him he was ready to play.

Sucks that we lost to Leyton Orient after dominating them all game only for them to win in the penalty shoot-out. A tie against one of Watford or Bristol Rovers would've been epic and vital to the clubs coffers, which are reportedly leaking around £80k a month.

Cesc is FINALLY going to ****ing Barcelona.

No excuses now, Wenger. You now have 30m pounds to use towards buying Cahill, Jadson. Hell, I'd even take Barton at this point.
