You may notice that a few referees will "invent" a free kick when an attacker keeps the ball in the corner. This is usually to lessen the risk of a defender flying in 2-footed in frustration to get the ball and hell breaking loose, and not to stop the team running the clock down.

Lets all whinge about fuck all.

Another astute acquisition.

I was wondering the same thing.

Leave my tour guide alone David.

Van Persie's goal was fabulous, and right infront of me in that corner. If you get half a chance to go to the Emirates, go. Today was just £25 for 2 superb games of football.

Wicked, where ya sitting? Haven't got a clue, my friend (an Arsenal fan) has the tickets. Is your friend Arsenal Ref who ran our fantasy league? He ticks all the boxes - Ref, ruthlessly efficient, Arsenal fan (I assume) Your powers of deduction are impressive.

I'm going on Sunday too

3 hours before the game, 3 hours after the game, within the 'Tyne and Wear' region (i.e. as far south as Chester le Street), and one per season ticket.

Still waiting for mine...

Blackpool site...

Clarkie was at Benfield last night for the reserve/academy friendly. Not showing any signs of leaving.

I'm in. Utilizing auto complete for now.

Done.

Agreed, their coverage is socking. Can't believe I paid for a match that went for about 30 mins without commentary. Yeah, they can't possibly have improved in the last 4 years since that one occurrence of sound problems.

They're showing a stack of friendlies I read somewhere.

Aye, Liverpool were the 1st 12.45 game last season vs Sheff Utd, and a couple of years ago vs Spurs. Monday night games and Saturday evening games this season will be the sole preserve of Setanta.

Do they normally show 2 games on the Sunday or botlick the Champs and give them the full works on opening weekend? 2 games from what I remember. The year we lost down at Highbury, Chelsea beat Wigan straight after, and last year they had Man Utd and Chelsea on the Sunday.

Wouldn't be surprised if we were the 1.30 Sunday game and Man Utd were the 4.00 Sunday game.

Brightest talent? Sums us up tbh, we don't have any up and coming talent (Krul, and possibly Taylor) but attacking wise, Zog has much more potential, but sadly his ego is too big, although Sam could sort him out. Martins is practically the same as as Milner, a much better prospect. We also have Viduka, a whipper snapper at 31, he has the talent to play on untill he is 45, an awesome man, and father of Chuck Norris.

was gonna say thats clearly the training top in the background of the video hummmm... which one would that be then? The one that it looks nothing like! Surely its obvious?
