No premplus anymore is annoying, I'm not joining some crappy Irish channel, i'm just going to watch united games on the internet now but we shouldn't be talking about that....

 

[Will_NA]

lol. Why don't MUTV show live Man U matches that aren't owned by Sky Sports?

 

[Leicester Fox]

Would require us to buy the rights off the FA woudn't it? They were all taken by sky and setanta and even so i doubt spending millions on that is top of big gay dickhead glazers list

did anyone else just see that Wayne Roooooney skill on sky sports news, thats a quality player

 

[ci-ar-an]

Here are my predicitions:

Champions: Liverpool
Champions League qualifiers: Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal
UEFA Cup qualifiers: Everton and Newcastle United
Intertoto Cup Qualifier: Bolton Wanderers
Relegated: Birmingham City, Sunderland, Derby County

i think this will happen but with my beloved NEWCASTLE coming 5th

Prem plus was a complete rip off though. 60 quid for 40 premiership games. Setanta (which I am now a proud subscriber of), has 46 premiership games, a lot of SPL games, live games from the other 4 main european leagues and ICC Cricket World. Its only ?5 a month for the first 3 months and then ?15 a month after that.

I thought it was £100 for a 100 games or something? Setantas coverage won't be as good as skys either. which one did you get? Setanta 1 or golf of what? not golf obviously but they confuse me lol.Won't there be a new channel just for football? Anyway what was wrong with the Japanese coverage we tried?!

 

[PhilD123]

Na the package that I got includes every Setanta channel, they include Celtic and Rangers TV, the football I presume will be on Setanta 1 or Setanta 2.

Yes, he was at times, absolutely sublime, but at others he was properly dreadful.

If I remember correctly Garcia was a proven matchwinner for Liverpool, scoring some of the most crucial goals for them. His injury this last season was untimely and hampered his career and I am sure that had they not wanted Torres so badly, Luis would still be a Liverpool player next season.

And you talk about people being found out in the Premiership, well let me tell you Garcia was an absolute nobody when he was playing for Barcelona. It was Liverpool that gave him the oppurtunity and unless he had done well enough he wouldnt have been picked for the Spanish national side. The same could be said about Cesc Fabregas who was a Barca youth player and has become one of the Premiership's finest. Xabi Alonso was pretty ordinary for Real Sociedad but is now a crucial member of Liverpool.

Also noticed someone made a prediction above so here is mine:

Winner- Chelsea/Man Utd
3rd place - Liverpool
4th place - Spurs/Arsenal/Everton
Relegation - Sunderland, Wigan, Derby

 

[sachin]

Well theres no way we aren't gonna finish in the top four....it's a as simple as that.
Man U
Chelski
Hopefully us
Liverpool

Fabregas, Adebayor, VP, Rosicky, Diaby. Henry wasn't the only class player there, you know...:

Wenger's staying for at least another season and that is all that matters right now.

[hassan]

yeah but it looks to me that Wenger isnt really botherd with us anymore, no proper quality signings and i think he is just waiting to see out his contract

 

[Leicester Fox]

Adebayor, Rosicky and Diaby wouldn't bet anywhere near any of the other top 4 clubs. Maybe Adebayor up front for the scousers but he wouldn't play regularly. Fabregas is theonly one of them i would take if they were offered to united. Toure and Gallas are class though, everyone forgets about defenders lol

 

[Will_NA]

Yeah I know he wasn't the only class player there but he stood out against the others.
Adebayor and Diaby do not look class to me, they are not that good for a team challenging for top 4.

All the teams that succeed have experienced players, look at Man Utd, they have experienced players in their team, look at Italy in the World Cup, loads of experienced players.
Arsenal lack that experience.

Ask any Arsenal fan and they will tell you Diaby is the new Vieira. I'm sure a lot of other fans will also say that.

Age doesn't bring experience. Games bring experience. Just because they are young doesn't mean thy lack experience. Granted, a lot of them do but still, they had enough class to reach the Carling Cup final and should have beaten Blackburn in the FA Cup and Ajax in the CL since they were by far the better team.

Adebayor, Rosicky and Diaby wouldn't bet anywhere near any of the other top 4 clubs. Maybe Adebayor up front for the scousers but he wouldn't play regularly. Fabregas is theonly one of them i would take if they were offered to united. Toure and Gallas are class though, everyone forgets about defenders lol

We wouldn't offer you them. Adebayor is improving steadily. Diaby has pace, strength and skill. He looks and plays like Vieira. Rosicky is the Czech Republic's captain and he wouldn't make it into a top four midfield!?

Clichy is one of the best left backs in the Prem. He played far better than Cole did last season.
