The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

[Rorschach]

Naismith is poor.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Pretty poor defending that and Lloris would have turned it around the post. Heart will be disappointed. City good value for their lead really.

Who else plays today?

 

[SpurMeUp]

A few interesting games for once.

Everton still in this one. Can't see them winning, but you never know...

CardiffvNewcastle

Fulham v Stoke
Hull v Aston Villa
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Sunderland v Man Utd



Sunderland Manu - could sunderland beat them? It would send united into the international break 'in crisis'

Can Palarse spring a surprise on pool?

Cardiff vs 'castle should be a tasty well fought game.

..and Hull have Thud and Livermore.


Who will you watch?

 

[paxtonwolf]

Liverpool will rinse Palace. Suarez hat-trick

 

[paxtonwolf]

"Incidentally, England manager Roy Hodgson is at the Etihad this afternoon. He'll then head to Anfield for Liverpool against Crystal Palace following the match and then it's back to Salford to film Match of the Day."



...Hard life isnt it?

Yep the Hart right wrist seems to need beefing up a bit. I've got some tips on how to do that 8-[

 

[Jurgen the German]

Hart should have saved that. That phrase is uttered a lot these days.

Bridge too far for Everton now I would think

 

[Jurgen the German]

They tend to slip up in these types of games. I'm still not convinced they are a threat to us.

With that twunt Halsey in the commentator box they really are killing this referee, and to a certain extent is killing this as a watch. Every single decision the ref makes is being critiqued. What the **** is that about. What this Halsey critique shows more than anything is that there will never ever be a common ground in what refs do.

I think the commentator himself is really good, remember him from the BBC doing NFL MNF but he was a studio bod then. In fact I would say actually he has been excellent actually. BT sport needs to do away with Halsey and let this commentator shine.

He could be useful as a pundit to explain how the referees think, the laws of the game and that sort of thing, but it's all about creating controversy these days.

 

[Superhudd]

He has just said that Moss has now lost the plot. Seriously!!

 

[markysimmo]

Jamie Redknapp, we need them and they deserve to be in the CL next season (Liverpool)

**** off you shiny suited ****

Yeah, having Halsey there elevates the prominence of the ref in the "story of the game" in an artificial and unnecessary way that is totally out of keeping with the traditions and spirit of the game. It's populist pandering to the semi-interested football fan who thinks controversial reffing decisions and penalty shoot-outs are the stuff of a good game of football. I despise this "innovation".

I hope you're right. I just think Palace are pants. I like they way Southampton play, so them winning at Anfield didnt come as a complete shock to me. Palace on the other hand, I'll be amazed if they arent relegated by mid-April

Could be "diffigult" for them as Jamie likes to say.

You never know with Holloway teams. They lack quality but will give their all. Though Palace could frustrate, there is more chance of a sunderland upset. I hope palace beat them tho

 

[Superhudd]

Exactly, a good game is when you don't notice the ref.
