On the Eve of the new Season...

Yes, my bad! Rough week. There was only English match worth watching anyway….

I do have an ITVN update as well. They're adding On-Demand to watch the Setanta matches later in the day or up to a week (I believe) so that you don't have to watch them all live. Good move on their part.

Here's the mid week "clashes" - boy do I hate the Carling Cup.

TUESDAY

2:30pm Chesterfield vs West Ham - Carling Cup (Set)

WEDNESDAY

2:00pm Crewe vs Man Utd - Carling Cup (Set)

Woops. Looks like Becks on the bench might be the key….

so if West Ham lose this one I would imagine Pardews position becomes pretty untenable, no?

Still haven't visited any sports website since Sunday. It is taking long to recover from those two losses last week.

They've got to sack him - to lose after sitting his Argentine Duo and scoring the early goal is just unacceptable.

We've come a long way from the initial discussions of the Hammers qualifying for Europe after Argentine signing…

Nope - those times are Eastern. I'll be watching United at 7AM PT and we can watch college football uninterrupted starting at 9AM PT.

I can watch the rest on Sunday morning with my extra hour before the NFL.

magpies need to stop sucking at soccer

I'm so mad with Mourinho's behaviour. This is the perfect example of someone within football that promotes violence.

Shockingly, and I would add appallingly, that game was not available in the US without pay per view. Not surprisingly, we missed the game of the day, and most likely the week.

Tottenham took it right to them this weekend. And Terry had a complete meltdown. Great match start to finish.

Paled in comparison to the heavyweight battle between Wenger and Pardew. Shocked that Arsenal lost with such disgrace…

yeah, that was pretty fantastic. i kinda hate both sides, but great match

must be the time of year for meltdowns, carr and parker (!!!) both had some issues with the crowd at st james park

I wasn't going to bring up Newcastle for fear that the Maggies, combined with the Steelers, combined with Penn State and JoePa brekaing his leg might have been too much for you to handle.

who are these people and what do they have to do with gilbert arenas, malkin and crosby?

Haha, go Ducks!

Actually, the weekend didn't start very well on Saturday with Barcelona drawing in Galicia against Deportivo La Coruña, but ended nicely with Chelsea losing to Totenham (my team in London) and Real Madrid losing at home against Celta de Vigo. Actually, the press and fans in Madrid on Sunday morning were already saying that they had already caught Barcelona in the table, but late in the afternoon, they were even further down. And Capello saying that Real Madrid had played the best game in the season, that is great!
