Like asking which testicle you'd like removed.

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.

Honestly thought Yaya would fall off this year. Was so wrong.

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.

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

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.

That's all well and good and I appreciate it but their analysis and coverage is awful. They treat the viewers like simpletons. They need new presenters and pundits. A nightly round up show that covers news and rumors would be ideal. And it should be easy to do. I'm sure that'd get higher ratings than the bicycle races they usually show at that time. Also with Fox, you'd get the saturday morning game, 10 am game and late kick off. With Fox Sports Plus you get a second 10am match. Then at 4, you'd get a tape delayed 10am game. Sunday you'd get all three games. if there's a game on Monday, you'd get that, too. So on a weekend out of 10 games, you'd have access to damn near nine games and they'd constantly be showing reruns throughout the week. I really miss that. On fox it felt like the Premier League was their franchise player where as on NBC, they're involved in so many other things, you only see football on when it's live.

I hate it. HATE it! The fact we have access to every game is great but the actual coverage is awful. The analysis is so dumbed down. Arlo White is a disgrace. I hate that he gets all the big games. There's no good review shows like Fox would do with The Fox Soccer Report which would come on at 10pm every night and would give time to all the teams instead of going on about the top four every chance they get. Those Canadians had journalistic integrity. What annoyed me most was when they initially got coverage and had some show called Pl Download. They treated it like this was the first time football was being broadcasted in America. They basicallysaid it was pointless supporting teams like Newcastle and Villa and were arse licking Man City and Chelsea. It's always about "when will Liverpool and Man Utd return to their perch?" And fuck everyone else. Fuck Rebecca Lowe, too. She's just a pair of legs and nothing else. bobby McMahon was a fantastic pundit who was less concerned with lame jokes and more focused on talking football.

There was a guy I worked with that would mention it every time I talked about football. He'd ask what I was doing later that day and I'd say "just playing some soccer" and he'd go "Oh did you ever see that movie, Green Street Hooligans?" if I said I'd be watching footy later that day he'd go "ahh, like that movie, Green Street Hooligans, right?" It would be like clockwork. Couldn't actually tell whether he was fucking with me or not. I saw a little of the movie a few months ago and the acting was god awful. Charlie Hunnam's cockney accent is worse than when Americans try to do a joke one.

Refreshing to see a young non attacking player make his PL debut in Reese Oxford. Here's hoping his career isn't littered with injuries like most young debutants.

I've been very critical of Anita but he was good today. I hope he's okay. The lack of closing down for their goal was a joke. We're so poor in the air that the best way to defend them is to stop the cross, but we didn't get close enough on a number of occasions. It's worrying. All in all though I'm feeling positive. We actually had possession, created chances, looked comfortable on the ball and looked threatening from set pieces. Ref was awful today. We should have had two penalties. How the linesman didn't see Pelle's one is ridiculous. Happened last time Vs Southhampton, too.

11 points. Had an original team that would have done so much better but changed it last minute.

So pissed we didnt get Ayew.

I always liked how Man Utd have their players dress in uniforms before games. It's a good idea for us, too.

Walcott's injury record was a deal breaker for me.

I think he'll be a force for them as he is built for this league. Haven't seen him play much but anytime I have he's stood out. Could see him moving to Man City in a couple years time.

First time I'm ever doing this. My team Courtois Janmaat Clyne Coleman Koscielny Hazard Fabregas Wijnaldum Henderson Rooney Ayoze Subs - Fabianski, Morgan, Chamerlain, Defoe

Doubt they'd even let him leave because of the transfer embargo, and he just became like 3rd choice vice captain. Also he's of the best players in the world.

Exactly what I want to here.

Andreas Ivanschitz Sounds like "shits". When you take a shit, it's called a number 2, some people say "I'm gonna drop a deuce" which is Demsey's nickname.

He's become a liability now. I'm sure we conceded three or four goals(maybe more) from his erratic passing last season.

Thanks, guys. It's odd that we've persisted with Colback and Anita when both are small and lightweight and instead have put our bigger more powerful players on the wing. It's the complete opposite of what every other club has done for generations.

Feisty. I shouldn't laugh, though, those bastards beat us the other week.

Has Sissoko ever played as a CM? Even for France he's on the wing.
