Theregulars

Going to undermine my own argument now but I think Carragher is informative. Richards I don't mind but don't think he offers me any analysis or understanding of the match that I wouldn't have garnered using my own eyes and brain. My broader point with US sports is their TV analysis of what's happening live and immediately afterwards is lightyears ahead of ours. I hate him because I like the Eagles but Romo is incredible at explaining the plays that you've just watched in NFL matches, he really brings it to life for the non-obsessed viewer (which is the job of the co-commentator in my view). It's the same in baseball - I have mlb.tv and watch local Phillies stream so have Tom McCarthy and John Kruk - Kruk explains what a pitcher is going to throw and why, and it helps me understand pitching tactics etc, it really brings an extra dimension to the game and makes me understand it more. Compare it to "unbelievable" and "kwalitee" etc, just such little in game and post-match analysis of any intellectual value. Neville decent.

Thank you for reminding me to add Townsend to my list of garbage, what a charlatan he is. Owen Hargreaves, Steve McManaman, Joe Cole too.

Like right? They're a good watch and listen for my money.

Miles better than the likes of Souness, Jamie Redknapp, Michael Owen, Robbie Savage, Clinton Morrison and Rio Ferdinand.

Oh, fair enough. I don't think it's one of the matches that's been picked up by broadcasters there. My comment was more on their coverage of sports in general, it's light years ahead in terms of analysis, interactivity, quality, options...

What were you trying to watch?

Technically in French it is, n at the end is silent. Like in Paris Saint Germain - the t after the n on Saint means you pronounce the n.

We're so far behind the US on sports coverage it's ridiculous. Was there last week and it's like stepping into a different reality, including their coverage of English football.

Me also

Hopefully Wilson back for the weekend and we don’t have another silent month out

And thus we were given a silver lining to a Palace victory.

Kieran trippier, there’s nobody nippier, he’ll tackle you and cripple yer, Kieran trippier - me and another very occasional forumite been singing this to ourselves since the summer

I’m tense only because at some point we have to lose a match, basically

Nisha Joshi I think?

It’s been a struggle but somehow I’m not worse at football for it

Think it’s difficult to judge really as I watch him closely and adore him and only see the others occasionally on highlights. With that caveat I think he’d do an admirable job for England. Selfishly I’m ok with him taking the World Cup to rest and recover and perform best for NUFC.

Watching this in a spurs pub. These people are so racist it’s unreal

We look ill-suited to play on a pitch this large.

On the off chance anyone has a spare ticket I’m desperate!

Richarlison is out I think.

2 seasons ago Bruce was picking Hendrick on the right wing instead of Miggy.

Not convinced yet.

Wouldn't be confident if we play like we did in the second half away to Spurs, they're significantly better than Manchester United. Mind, we'd perhaps get awarded one or both of the clear penalties.

1 real chance for either side, 2 penalties denied for us vs 1 for you, the troglodyte Casemiro and the even more troglodyter troglodyte Fernandes both should have been off. Fair result with Newcastle shading it on balance.

The drop off from starters to subs is absurd. We've conceded them the game with 15 minutes left because Wilson can't play 90. Wood is a non-entity.
