You are having a laugh! SWP the worst England player ever? Are you forgetting that Wes Brown is also playing? He wouldn't even make it into my local pub team, how the hell he gets picked for MU let alone England is beyond me.
SWP has to play, when Ian Wright is on the telly, it's great watching Ian trying to put a positive spin when SWP plays badly, but even funnier when Ian gets over excited when he plays well.
Only Rooney and Milner look interested.
Bent wasn't given a chance. (Reminds me of another Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips who didn't get passed too when he was given his England shirt)
Jenas is rubbish.But then he always was.
Wes Brown is totally out of it doesn't look fit. I just knew they would score from his side. My wife could run past him.
Lescott isn't good enough for the Prem never mind England.
Foster is the worst England keeper I have seen for years.
I think you must be watching a different game to me...Rooney looks isolated...Bent has'nt had a kick...and someone please tell me why wright phillips continues to get picked...hes the worst England player EVER!!...OR THE LUCKIEST
ill be absolutely delighted if the old firm leave the spl,for years celtic and rangers have sucked the life out of scottish football,stealing other teams players for pittance and that stops any competition against them which is hard enough without them stealing the best players from every team,the bile sectarian chants brings shame to scottish football and all decent football loving supporters,so i for one will gladly wave goodbye to the scum from the west,so dont let me down english premier
will the old firm be welcome in the epl
Why are the highlights not shown , ive just tryed on multiple computers and only been shown "notts county vs bradford city". Ive just been subjected to 8 adverts for nothing , i never had this problem with virgin medias football highlights or the BBC website.
Id rather go to the pub and watch it on sky than watch any games on ITV , their coverage is always poor.
Fifa and the FA should just give it to the BBC
ITV have always had poor coverage for football , id rather pay for sky tahn watch it on ITV. their pundits are always poor and the commentators are even worse. Andy townsend is their only saving grace.
The BBC treat the premiership and the FA cup as the national sporting events that they are , not as an excuse for advertising.
I cant belive ITV have the web rights for the FA cup highlights. having to watch 30 seconds of adverts for 30 seconds of highlights is a disgrace. As a Northampton town
The strange thing about the shadow, is that when Wembley was built, the architect, Lord Foster claimed that it had been designed in such a way that none of the pitch would be in shadow! What happened to that claim?
I agree. It was great to see what the likes of Cardiff and Barnsley did in 2008. It would be nice to have a few giant-killings this year. Let's hope it starts with Paulton Rovers v Norwich this weekend!
As a spurs supporter and AS I am of Portuguese origin am a FC PORTO supporter which for those who do not know BOBBY ROBSON coached and started the uprising of portos domination of the portuguese leauge leading to 5 consecutive titles and then Jose Mouriho who won UEFA and CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Harry is on the right track with spurs I see the same thing happening again
I know ITV need revenue from advertising, but is it just me that finds the Sony Heart, shown at every break during football, so ugly, so grotesque. It puts me off buying any Sony product and personally think its the emost misconceived piece of advertising i have ever seen. It's had the total opposite affect on me as Sony would have wanted. Team Sony - Shocking! Anyone else think the same?
There are many ways of judging if a club is big or not and most of them change from season to season, however i will concentrate on one factor that hasn't changed about my club city over the last few decades, and that is our huge fan base, 28000 in the 3rd division and now 47000 plus most games at Eastlands, yeah i know 5000 of them have now turned up suddenly the money and potential for success is finally back but all clubs have 'glory hunters'.
Money talks and ITV are very small fish when it comes to negotiating the match coverage. It is utterly pathetic that a UK national broadcaster can only afford to show 1 game per week out of the potential numerous matches.
We all had to suffer watching that dire Liverpool match because of this, whilst Arsenal and Rangers were playing much more attractive games.
You make a good point and I have read some really dull ones but Cloughie's Autobiography was a belter.
It was fascinating getting an insight into "ole bigead" and the relationship he had with Peter Taylor and a few of his main players.
Alex Ferguson's book was pretty good as well.
Roy Keane's was absolute rubbish, unreadable and the guy is an idiot.
I have also tried and utterly failed to read "The Damned Utd" - I found the style unreadable and tedious.
Hello,
I always watch the live champions league matches that are live on ITV and am quite surprised that ITV have changed their live televised 'viewing' night to a Wednesday as of the 09-10 season and are only going to be showing one live match each matchday compared with the 2 of previous seasons!
I tend to agree with you on that subject and another point worth mentioning is the electrified flashing advertising signs which are an ever increasing problem for viewers.
During recent years there has been a plethora of books covering lives of footballers, some still wet behind the years and obviously published to enhance their already bulging coffers and of course those of their agents and "ghostwriters" Can anyone claim to have read a really interesting "autobiography" ?
PS I have just finished "Big Club, Small Town & Me" by Brendan Flood a director of "The Clarets" and can recommend the book which covers the past three years of the club.
