Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

Apparently, the local FTA coverage provided by SBS - our rockin' one-hour highlight reel from the EPL, plus the odd one or two live matches a week - have been priced out of SBS's market by one of the PayTV providers.

Indeed.

The whole world should be granted at least some free footy rights. It's only fair.

Way to go Demofoe!

Shouldn't be too pleased with only a point but I was getting worried we'd get nothing :D

EDIT: Ooh, looks like I got a new sheepie head yesterday :D

Looked like a handball by Defoe. Canny finish though. Bet he gets more than 20 this season.

never a penalty - he milked a slight short tug as he overran it IMO...
I think the Spurs were pretty handy, defended really well, and kept on battling against the resolute defence....
a draw was a fair result i would say....

Haha. Yeah. To a Spurs fan, maybe. ;)

I think we had the better of the chances and looked a lot classier. Should have won it.

Typical first game, though. Always a bit rusty and weird.

Yeah, and welcome back to some decent pundits.

Shit result for us vs the Albion today, though.

And PauleMoz -- you have an amazing back line in the FPL. Mine scored a pathetic 3 points today, whereas yours racked up about six times that. Think I'll have to enter the transfer market already. :)

Aaargh! Fucking bastards!! :evil:

Ah well, looks like I'm in for a season of heartbreak again. I think Newcastle are trained to believe that a draw is better than a win, or something. :cry:

@Gordon: Yeah, they did alright this week, my defence. :D Pity I can't ship them all to Newcastle. Just watch, though, they'll probably all be cack next week. :lol:

Draws all round today, mate. Wouldn't wanna be doing the Pools.

Do people still do the Pools? :)

Hey, that's a good question. I used to do that at work, but I think the Lottery pretty much killed the Pools.

Turns out that Boro's equalising goal in the 91st minute was a handball, and there was a player offside and interfering with play in the build up, AND Hasselbaink pushed over a defender before he headed/punched the ball into the net. Typical.

re Match of the Day:

1) Jacques Santini looked like Jabba the Hut in the post-match interview.

2) Kevin Davis's head is smaller than last year.

Yeah, but on chances, it was a fair result......


Tomorrow, Chelski are gonna beat my team by at least five goals. Anyone care for a wager? :(
