You are largely spot on, Chase. ‘pool played REALLY well defensively as you would expect a team coached by Uncle Roy. But the pigheaded nature of Arsenal’s attack was kind of obvious too. They had lots of chances to get the ball wide and cross and instead they opted to pass thru the middle.
You SHOULD be a spokesperson though. Good copy. 🙂
well based on their performance today, I can’t argue.
You have plus, it’s channel 1009. You just have to pay for it.
Since when isn’t the Argentine League on FSE?
Tldr: I’m annoying
Top 4.
I meant he got hit in the face with the ball.
I think the organization from the Liverpool defense played a big part. They haven’t looked that good since the 2008-08 campaign. Its too bad a goalkeeping blunder blighted such an inspired performance.
hahah relax man
If you’re a sports fan, DIrecTV is where it’s at. NFL, Tennis major multi-cast, Golf majors multi-cast, all 3 soccer channels in HD, UEFA multi-cast, ALL the CL and Europa matches in HD. I’ve got it.
This advertisement was NOT a paid endorsement.
Without seeing the game I am pretty sure he meant the ball hit him in the face. Maybe I just don’t have as dirty of a mind as needed.
Who are the Quakes going to sign for their DP???

Wow surprised Ives lets you stay on the board with a remark like this.
What a joyous result. 1-1 draw, two red cards. As a Chelsea fan, it really doesn’t get much better.
God help us if Wenger doesn’t buy another CB and a new GK.

What is Arsenal’s major malfunction? 11 v 9 and they simply refuse to get any serious width in their attack.
Your sister takes it in the face too. Don’t see why you needed to call out Agger like that.
What a free kick by Walcott, Great bend.
poor turnover by Arsenal in their own 3rd, I think it was Arshhhhhaven with the bad decision on the dummy trap that turned it over, which was pounced on for the near post upper tiered strike
was vacuuming for my wife at the same time, so…….
Agger takes it in the face, he’s had a good game to this point.
Maxi on for Jovanovic, Jovanovic already looks like a crowd favorite.
Sweet. Thankx.

anyone have a stream address for the Arsenal match??
I just tuned in, can someone tell me how N’Gog scored? Did he use his speed?
I don’t think Coles foul was a red, yellow yes but not a red. Arsenal areso weak without cesc Wilshire shows his youth he needs more patience inthe middle. Liverpool look like themselves though a big pile of Scouse crap.
I would imagine that Chelsea, ManU, Tottenham, and City fans must be looking for a 1-1 draw, yeah?
Great tackle by the newboy Joe. I’m sure SAF will be sending him a bottle of wine after such a lovely challenge. And welcome to the EPL, Laurent.
Foxsoccer.tv….no coverage for this game?
No FSC or Gol TV available on Comcast in my part of Connecticut. its the only cable company available at my apt. complex. Its freaking lame. Maybe its time for SBI to go big and sign a deal to stream these games.
Oh Joey. The only song for him at Stamford Bridge was “He’s here, here’s there, he’s every f*ing-where, Joey Cole”. At Anfield, he’s in the showers. Nightmare start.
Not exactly compelling stuff out there so far.
Arsenal are bunch of divers
i’ve got FiOS – no HD and no plus. In my experience Direct TV sucks in thr midwest. you lose your signal every time there is a storm.
that yellow arsenal away kit is a thing of beauty.
Charter Cable here in SC….no HD and no FSC+ either. Everybody says the Direct TV package is the shizzle…waiting on a move before deciding what I’m doing with TV.
I can say that the Direct TV Golf and NFL stuff is absolutely brilliant.
Does anyone have Comcast Fox Soccer Channel and it is still not in HD? I am just outside Chicago and they do not have it in HD. Also, they do not have Fox Soccer Plus. May have to make the move to Direct TV. Plus the feed sucks! Is it like that on Direct TV or just comcast?
So, what’s the SBI consensus on how Uncle Roy will do with the Scousers? I’m thinking 5th place using defensively oriented tactics.
Thoughts?
