  1. That's gotta be the reason. But in saying that I'm sure that's why Ayoze doesn't use Perez on his shirt. No one had an issue with Ayoze or Jonas
  2. It's cause he's black isn't it?
  3. Wouldn't that be a hassle, though? You'd have to change so many documents like passports, tax stuff, I'm sure a lot more being a footballer. Easier to just have the name you'd like to have on the back of your shirt than do all that. Nitpicking tbh. Bet no one gets angry about Xavi having Xavi when that's not his name. How about Sergio for Busquets? Nah cause they're "good" and can get away with whatever.
  4. Some random ones in here. Solano vs Everton - He was unplayable that day. Was so happy to have him back. Solano vs Arsenal 06 Robert vs. Fulham. Went nuts when that went in. Martins vs Spurs. Was so out of no where. Thought we were done and dusted. Shearer vs. Spurs in the cup. What a way to put us in the final. Thought it was destiny at the time. Ben Arfa vs Everton - I had been keeping up with the Ben Arfa thread all summer and was expecting a superstar. He was everything everyone said he would be. Ben Arfa vs. Arsenal - Short lived but I thought we were going to win that game and come 4th. Was in the middle of updating my Facebook status when Arsenal scored. Ben Arfa vs Bolton - Best goal I've ever seen. Cisse vs Chelsea 2012 Celebrated the first one more than the second. I kinda expected the second one to go in after all the other stuff he'd been doing. Non Newcastle - Drogba vs Bayern. What a way to win the CL. It was like a movie.
  5. Although I would have liked to have seen him get a second chance under the new management, I'm not too bothered about him leaving. I just didn't see enough from the guy to think he could be a star here. Perez is younger and still was able to perform under Pardew.
  6. He's been excellent recently. You can see he's a character, too and will get goals when he gets forward.
  7. Taylor never has a good game against this lot, but it's either him or Williamson.
  8. Hard fought victory by Liverpool. Thoroughly deserved.
  9. Flip was right, my team was shit. Spent 16 points on changing it. My brother already has 112 points and I pretty much had to force him to play/update his team.
  10. Gameweek 3 Man Utd 4 v 1 Newcastle Crystal Palace 2 v 1 Aston Villa Leicester 1 v 3 Tottenham Norwich 1 v 2 Stoke Sunderland 1 v 4 Swansea West Ham 3 v 1 Bournemouth West Brom 0 v 3 Chelsea Everton 2 v 5 Man City Watford 1 v 0 Southampton Arsenal 2 v 1 Liverpool
  11. Mane's been good despite losing. Everton's effectively dealing with the crosses all game. In fact its been easy for them.
  12. Man U get it in wide areas and then pass it back to the middle. Really frustrating. Dross.
  13. LVG is awful. I have no idea what type of football Man Utd are trying to play. It's a mess. They'll get wins and finish top four but only because of the money they've spent.
  14. Happy bday!! Prem FB page has a class vid of his goals today.
  15. I want Guerrero based on nothing but reading his Wiki page.
  16. Tbf Charlie Adam is a pretty technical player. He's not a clogger like his name suggests.
  17. Three correct scores and I didn't bold either of them. Doh Gameweek 2 Aston Villa 1 v Man Utd 3 Southampton 1 v Everton 1 Spurs 2 v Stoke 1 Sunderland 1 v Norwich 1 Swansea 2 v Newcastle 2 Watford 0 v West Brom 1 West Ham 2 v Leicester 1 Crystal Palace 1 v Arsenal 2 Man City 1 v Chelsea 1 Liverpool 3 v Bournemouth 0
  18. Like asking which testicle you'd like removed.
  19. Sterling doesn't fit in right now, things are breaking down with him. It'll take time for him to get accustomed but he I don't know how much time he'll get there.
  20. Honestly thought Yaya would fall off this year. Was so wrong.
  21. I honestly can't fathom how someone misses Fox's coverage compared to what NBC has done the last 2+ years. It's night and day. They've made the Premier League feel like an event every weekend. On Fox it felt like some secret channel that might also show darts and eating contests late at night. The second paragraph makes no sense. You're reminiscing about tape delayed games, reruns, and Fox Sports Plus. Barely anybody had that channel and the app/site sucked. We now have every single game live in HD on TV or any other device you want it. The fact they've renewed for six more years is fantastic news. NBC SN's listing for TODAY.... http://www.nbcsports.com/tv-listings Swimming, motocross, Golf, Volleyball. Those sports are far closer to the things you listed than what FSC showed which was only football. That's not late night, that's on right now. And yes, I do miss turning on the TV anytime and catching a football game I may have missed from the weekend. I appreciate the every game thing but the coverage has gone backwards.
  22. I LOVED Fox Sports World Report. The presenters were a little corny and not the best looking but I forgot that once they started to talk. You could tell they were serious about the job and had done their research. Bobby McMahon was excellent with his weekend previews and reviews. Their pre match studio show may have had bad production values but it wasn't bad. In fact, I can't really remember it. I recall the game just coming on and there being a voice over from Nick Webster or Keith Costigan where they'd give you the startling lineups and a little team news. Shows like Fox Football Phone in was quite good, too. I'd take Fox over NBC because they treated football like it was a primary sport. There wasn't any fluff like there is now. Also they had Dream Team , random documenteries and Premier League Archives, which Newcastle would be on quite frequently
  23. How? He's not watching the match if it makes sense. He's trying to appeal to the masses every chance he gets. He's very similar to Michael Cole. Last year, he was paired with Jim Beglin who was talking about tactics and White couldn't keep up. He's far too concerned with being relatable than calling the game. He also will do this speed talking thing where he describes everything going on for when the ball approaches the box as if people are blind and then won't speak when the ball is anywhere else on the field. A total nonse. I fucking hate him and many people I've spoken to agree.
