  1. I'd watch more French league too as we'd get a pulse on the type of players we're scouting. Fox's graphics/studio packages were always shit on the main network and they basically treated the studio team like outcasts man. All the marketing was shit and I always felt like it was poorly done. Hell, the Fox Soccer Report used to be shit and it somehow over-time has gotten worse Their studios are awful.
  2. I'm assuming the "non-NBC" commentators will be the same we are used to, as they'll still have the same official telecast from the ground and have whichever commentator it is....I assume Arlo will only do the NBC main match when they send him on-site, expect it to be your top 6 teams/match of the week type fixture.
  3. Its still loads better than Fox b/c we'll have access to every match without having to pay for an extra channel (FS+) or the online app (FS 2Go). However its nice to see that those of us with NBC Sports will get that Extra Time channel with a loads more of games to have on TV too. Regardless, major improvement. Hopefully we get to enjoy it next season (we stay up).

    MLS

    Good news for Orlando, hopefully this happens for us. Would be massive for the city. Orlando City already has a great following - if they were to join the MLS would be really awesome. ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer talked with Channel 9, telling Greg Warmoth the exact location for the proposed $110 million Major League Soccer stadium. Dyer told Channel 9 where the stadium would be built, how it will be paid for and why he signed off on a multi-million dollar land purchase. The two blocks where the stadium will be located are bordered by Central Boulevard, Church Street, Terry and Parramore avenues. "I can tell you with certainty that is where we would like to construct the stadium," said Dyer. "It makes sense." The Citrus Bowl will sit only a few blocks away, as well as the Amway Center and the downtown Performing Arts Center. "That's the perfect location," said Dyer. "We have the parking already associated with the other facilities in the downtown area." Records show the land wasn't cheap. It was purchased for $8.2 million, more than four times its value, according to the property appraiser's website. The mayor, however, said he didn't overpay. "It's all within the appraisals," said Dyer. If built, Orlando City Soccer will pay $80 million to $100 million. Orlando is providing the land, and the county may kick in tourist development tax, which is a tough sell for at least one Orange County commissioner. "I can't see any reason that I will change my position," said County Commissioner Fred Brummer. "The more I read, the more I see, the more, 'No,' I become." Dyer is hoping other commissioners, lawmakers and MLS will agree the site is worth his $8.2 million gamble. Currently, Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA and NHL teams can get funding help from the state for new stadiums. The Florida legislature is set to decide during whether MLS also qualifies. If Dyer's plan works, a new MLS team and a new stadium could be awarded by December. http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/dyer-opens-about-land-purchase-new-mls-stadium/nXPb3/
  5. So from was potentially shit Chelsea kits, they turn out to look pretty great.
  6. Toon's Taylor needs a few days away from all of this man. The weekend has bled over to numerous threads all over this forum and it's not doing him any favors picking battles with a ton of people all over. Ian is a top poster who is part of a group of individuals who make this forum what it is in terms of the different viewpoints brought to the table.
  7. Good point - Would we better off playing Perch or Anita then?

    Ryan Taylor

    Poor guy. Gutted for him. Really like him a ton. Safety in PL and end this season man. We can't get a break with these injuries. Horror show of luck.
  11. If NBC handles the PL like ESPN handles the NFL on Sundays, I'd be over the moon. Can go hours watching the various pre-game and post-game shows and Sportscenter. Holy shit - I'll have 2 opportunities for my usual Sunday setup. During NFL season, my main TV carries the Bucs game or whatever the best game is when the Bucs aren't playing. I then move my bedroom TV, into the living room on a side table thanks to the U-Verse wireless box. Add this Redzone style PL channel (if it happens) and I'll have the setup 2x a weekend. Good lord thats amazing.
  12. Awesome news, NBC is going to do this right. Class. Now we all will need to make sure AT&T, Verizon, Timewarner/Brighthouse, and Comcast all sign up accordingly so we don't have to pay for the app. So let me get this straight and clear - if say one of our providers handles it right, we'll have access to EVERY match via TV or App?

    I understand, everyone's blood pressure is a bit higher than normal after the weekend. My comment earlier about "linesman(woman)" was basically saying both of the linos hem had close calls from dives, goals allowed etc.
  14. That's just it - we aren't... Some want to defend Pardew under any circumstances(justifiable if he had any sort of long-term track record of success as a manager, which he hasn't) and the majority want him gone like yesterday. How can such divided opinions be on the same side when each thinks that their opinion is best for NUFC ?? merlin, you've missed my point then, so let me be clear with what I mean't earlier then - theres some really poor personal slagging being thrown about by people on here since the defeat. This is all to others who's opinions differ from their own. I have no problem with debate, its the point of a football forum - but when people start taking jabs beyond football and at people themselves, they've taken it one step too far. We're all supporters of this club - despite which manager we want in charge, what tactics to employ, favorite or most hated players. We all want to see this club succeed and do us proud. So yes, we're all on the same side, in my opinion.

    Cannot be bothered to argue with a DUDE ,GO watch some American footbaseicehockey s**** I hope you were joking here I'll take that as a yes from your smilies, but otherwise you can f*** right off like with posts like that. Its the Kanji geezer not you Keep having a go at me. It makes you look a top smart guy man. I've basically agreed we were lucky to not be down early based on some decisions in our favor and I've also highlighted my issue with the incorrect Cisse decision as well. But no, I don't know shit about a sport I've played and watched my whole life because I'm an American. I've said it other posts and I'll say it one last time - the hell is wrong with people having a go at eachother? We support the same club man.
  17. People need to stop having a go at eachother man, we're all on the same side ffs.
  18. Hope he has a terrible terrible match against us at Upton Park
  19. Been thinking the same thing man Still so deflated about the result, and so nervous about Saturday.
  20. Still dragging my feet about b/c of this damn match.
