**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Clattermole off after 5 minutes with a knee problem. Lasted 30 minutes at the weekend. Rose has been limping a bit after an early knock, but seems okay.

Lots of rumours that he's left Villa park as well, not even sticking around to watch.

Not the first time that's happened.

Rumous of a loan move to Liverpool, but that bricky attitude of his is not something you'd want at your club. Probably costing Villa a small fortune as well.

Anyone been watching much of Sunderland this year? Has Rose been improving?

I disagree. These people are supposed to be journalists, I know it's "only football", but they should have some balls and ask some tough questions. The point of an interviewer isn't to just lob soft balls at the subject to have them hit it out of the park.

I thought he did a good job, people wanted to hear what Benitez thought of the reception he got as the new manager, a reception that as far as I know has never been seen in the world of football. His answer of "I didn't hear it" was ridiculous and he deserved to be pushed on the subject.

I wish someone would show some balls when Wenger says "I didn't zee zat inzident", "well, here's a monitor, let's have a look" would be a decent response. Or how about when Ferguson goes on one of his rants putting pressure on the referee, how about bringing up some of the times a decision went in their favour and see what he actually has to say. Or any manager who complains about diving, but also has known divers in his team. Or how about asking Pulis why he's so insistent on calling others out for their diving when his players are some of the dirtiest thugs in the league who also are among the worst at shirt pulling and cynical fouls.

The list of (what I think is) hypocrisy along with ridiculous and bland comments who could be interchanged between teams and managers week by week with no meaning lost is long as hell, I wish journalists would grow some balls and ask some real questions.

To some point I agree with you, but I think "real" journalism would be

- Asking Wenger/SAF/etc. what the fudge did you not see? or calling SAF out on comments like 4 minutes is a travesty (to your point)

Real journalism is not (imo)

- Trying to make someone personally uncomfortable or look bad because he has walked in to a brick situation (just like I don't think going after Keane at Blackburn last season was cool). Ask him, he gives the party line, try again along the lines of "obviously there is some resistance to your appointment, did you expect that, how do you plan to win fans over, what would you say to those fans". Stylistically, the reporter came across as a prick, not as someone trying to be a journalist

According to the commentator, QPR only have 4 points from 13 games. Wow.

Not paying 100% attention, but he's had several good involvements in the last few minutes. Mostly when getting forward.

I really like Benteke from Villa hope we take these sort of chances/gambles/risks come January with young players abroad.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Commentators seem impressed by him today. Only Sunderland player that's trying to create something.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Gotta love the MTV half time entertainment. Apparently there's a second band called Linkin Park that makes bricky pop music. I remember about ten years ago there was one that had a few decent rock/metal tunes.

He needs to improve his finishing, the one or two chances he's had tonight has been a complete waste.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Is Faurlin injured? Diakite has been awful.

Sunderland desperately need a playmaker in midfield.

Rose and Taraabt have played well so far.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Is Julio Cesar injured or been dropped?
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Cheers. So he's probably gone off injured then.
