Other games 14/15/16 August 2010

[Gaz]

Draw would be a good result for us.

Although Spurs have looked pretty good, City will flatter to deceive this season, don't see them being a side that will challenge for the title though like so many pundits have been saying. I've seen nothing today to suggest they will be anywhere near challenging

[Vermilion]

Great result..

[Craig_H]

Finishes 0-0. Somehow.

[Craig_H]

Pleased for Joe Hart, he seems a really good lad.

[Exiled_red]

Can't help but laugh as sky have been bigging up the start of the season and although the games was decent it was still a 0-0

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

Finished?I hate sky.Sky player crashed.

James Milner is in the Villa starting lineup

I have to say, i dont particularly like Ben Shepherd, but he's a refreshing change from Richard Keys.

Speaking of Keys - lifted from another forum:

Act I, Scene I
*Pictures show Roy and the lads walking down the corridor to the dressing room*
Keys: A NEW START AND A NEW MANAGER. WE'RE AT ANFIELD FOR THE OPENING WEEKEND...AND WHAT A GAME WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY.
*Pictures show Wenger and the Arsenal players walking down the corridor to the dressing room
Keys: He's here (Fabregas) as is he (Van Persie) both START this afternoon.

Keys: Welcome to Anfield where blah blah blah.
Cue montage showing how s*** we were last season with some corny music such as Queen Under Pressure and about 6 different shots of us low down the table (just what every Liverpool fans wants to see apparently). Not forgetting the face Gerrard pulled against Birmingham away. Then it shows Hodgsons first press conference and the music changes to something more upbeat.
Montage ends and Keys and Redknapp discuss the merits of Roy over 'Benitez' and how Liverpool needs an English manager who understands the club and the PL and won't rotate. Amounts Rafa paid for players will be grossly over-exaggerated by Jamie Redknapp and then the token other guest will be someone like Phil Neal who just happened to work with Hodgson on an outward bounds weekend in 1978 and tells us all how fantastic he is. 'Will Roy let Liverpool play with more freedom Jamie?' 'they'll conclude yes, Benitez made the players play with lead weights in their pockets on purpose just to spite english people.

Meanwhile I'll have a stroke through rage.

Good result for us, as it postpones the inevitable Mancini sacking and Spurs should be gutted not to win this one.

[Shaggy]

That was a ****ing cracking nil-nil. Oddly impressed with City in the 2nd half, apart from the fact they played without a centre forward until Adebayor came on. WTF. When they didn't have the ball Tevez stood up front but when they had it he was everywhere but. The number of times they had no-one or just one man in the box was criminal.

Sunderland keeper - Mignolet? Who the **** is he?

Amazed Rodwell doesn't start for the Bitters.

[Shaggy]

I see Frankie Fielding doesn't even make Blackburn's bench

I wonder if Capello will call up 'Bunn' for his next squad
