Love this meeting, some classy horses from all over the world running. Although I'm not a royalist, which is one of the reasons I wouldn't go. So who's on what????

EPL no longer on TV

detonator7 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:19:44 +0100

Big news here in New Zealand is that the premier league is not going to be on TV next year as skytv no longer hold the rights to it. Is this going to be the same in the UK? The games will only be shown live on the internet now (http://premierleaguepass.com/) and will cost around 75pounds a year.

What do you guys think of this? Im not convinced by it yet, the quality wont be as good, and not everyone has super fast internet so the games are likely to lag. Also getting the boys around to watch the game wouldnt be the same as watching it on a smaller computer screen, and getting the picture sent to the TV would be hassle to set up everytime.

'Ow do......

Been a while..... Much been happening?

Arsenal...

OldGoldenVision — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:28:31 +0100

If they managed to sign Rooney and Fellaini... where d'yer reckon they'd finish?

Their chairman has been saying they'll have significant funds this summer... Think with the right signings and Arsene still at the helm they could do well next season...

Stuart Pearce...

OldGoldenVision — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:06:55 +0100

Forget the England job fella... You'd make this guy look popular...

Don't care, I love it...

Hahaha - Craig Bellamy on Charlie Adam

Winston Wolfe — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:20:06 +0100

Just made sure I select the right category for the new BR monitor who's currently policing the categories for us....

In today's final extract from his new book, Craig Bellamy tells of how he was alarmed at the beginning of his new adventure at Liverpool when he saw Charlie Adam in training for the first time.

I met Charlie a couple of times before pre-season training began, and he seemed a nice lad....

He wasn't the brightest but then footballers rarely are. I consider myself to be among the cleverer footballers around.

Charlie is a true Scot, and he loves his beer. It's all he ever talked about at the start, having had a brutal close season with a series of lads holidays abroad.

Charlie wasn't a shy lad and told the squad all about his escapades, including vomiting into the swimming pool at 2pm one afternoon.

He was a fat **** too, Charlie, and he could eat for Scotland.

Some of the lads called him 'Rab', after the TV comedy character Rab C Nesbitt.

The first day at training and Charlie had a 'mare. He couldn't control the ball to save his life, couldn't get his breath and kept falling over while trying to run with the ball.

Players are always judging others, never more so than on the first day - first impressions count and though some of the lads found it hilarious, most were not impressed.

"Who's this ****?", one respected player said to me.

"I can't believe we've signed this useless ****", said another.

While one of the club's iconic players said to me, "I'd played against him last season and I knew he was ****, you're gonna need to step it up this season, Craig - cos this ****'s ****."

Charlie didn't have the best of seasons and he was sold on to Stoke. I wish him well.

Michael Dunlop...

Made it 2 out of 2 at the TT... Another Dunlop going to dominate road racing then...

Got a sign up saying "First London club to win the Champions League".... the irony of them playing in the Europa league also amusing...

They are unbelievable......

Smigone — Wed, 01 May 2013 23:31:55 +0100

........Liverpool have said they will reject Europe if they got it through the fair play league!

What an arrogant horrible club they really are.
