Weekend Open Thread

In lieu of putting up two posts for your weekend footie comments, especially considering the Sunday one isn't very well-trafficked, consider this your one stop shopping point for letting everyone know just how right or wrong you were about this weekend's games.

  2. So, what, if anything, have I missed so far?

    ReplyDelete
  3. nothing really. good pressure and possession by liverpool but no shots on goal. cahill should have scored off a corner but flubbed it, terrible marking again. crap card on fellatioani.

    ReplyDelete
  4. From the guys who brought you 'Jimmy Bullard looks like the guy that dies from AIDS in Trainspotting', its the new blockbuster 'Phil Neville looks like Tom Hanks at the end of Philadelphia'

    ReplyDelete
  5. basque on basque violence must stop. another terrible booking. i wonder why refs arent respected?

    ReplyDelete
  6. What about "Robbie Keane looks like a guy who used to score for Tottenham, but he's obviously not"?

    /cue 2nd half brace

    ReplyDelete
  7. how is there noone on this fucking team with the club in their bag to take a goddamn corner well?

    robbie has actually been having a good game, he made one mistake on a first touch but he and kuyt have been doing well

    ReplyDelete
  8. I tell you what. I sure do love seahorses right now.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I actually think the ref is letting a lot go. There have been a number of obstruction calls that he hasn't made.

    Also, I have the commentary in Italian, and the announcers clearly referred to Lescott as "Worf from Star Trek"

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yeah, that had better be a yellow. Worst dive I've seen in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  11. good god why do i always get stuck behind the lady using coupons for every item at the store. all i wanted was a vitamin water and donut and it takes fifteen minutes. its too early for this crap.

    dissent my nuts riley

    ReplyDelete
  12. YES BABY!

    keane will be juuuust fine

    ReplyDelete
  13. the espn phillipines stream here is in english, great quality. and its mister gray.

    ReplyDelete
  14. holy shit
    hahahahaha

    form is temporary, class is permanent. thats right andy

    ReplyDelete
  15. wow that was a horrible call on dirk. and i was about to compliment the call on the waived off goal too. oh well cant get them all.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't understand, why not just watch it on Setanta, on the 56" screen like me?

    ReplyDelete
  17. "News just in: Wayne Rooney is on the bench for Manchester United at home against Bolton. "

    hahahaha oh man fuck him

    ReplyDelete
  18. @Eladio - because, despite my weekly calls/e-mails, Comcast still does not have Setanta.

    Fackers.

    ReplyDelete
  19. aww poor whittle timmy cahill's feelings are hurt :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. BUH BYE TIMMAH

    you cant turn your back and walk away from the ref like that after that kind of tackle

    ReplyDelete
  21. yeah, I think that was only a yellow for Timmy. But he's a douchebag anyway

    ReplyDelete
  22. given the tone of the game and the ref im not shocked with it. but to me it looked like cahill turned his back and grabbed his nuts.

    ReplyDelete
  23. can pennant get a straight red in three minutes? stay tuned!

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Georger -

    Cahill: Foul? What about my CDs?

    Riley: CDs?

    Cahill: See Deez Nutz!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sadly, Pennant stays clean for his first three minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  26. very very good second half. thrilled with the result, especially considering there was no mascherano and still reina was never forced to make a save.

    ReplyDelete
  27. "because, despite my weekly calls/e-mails, Comcast still does not have Setanta."

    yeah but at least we get the big ten network now so i can watch mid nineties wisconsin/minnesota games all day long.

    oh yeah and the awesome comcast network with their hard hitting news team and action sports coverage of division three college football

    its comcastic!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Alright, got the Aberdeen game up, let's see how long I can stand it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @NY Kid: You know, all you had to do was ask and you could come over and watch it at my place. I even made waffles this morning.

    Pretty much the only reason I have DTV is for Setanta. I thought I heard a rumor that FIOS was (or already is) carrying Setanta, but according to their website they don't.

    You'd have to hold a gun to my head to get me to go back to cable.

  30. you cant stop cisse, you can only hope hes drunk and falls down

    ReplyDelete
  31. man. ashley young is going to be scoring goals like that for united for the next ten years pretty soon.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I missed waffles, Paul Newman dies, and Chelsea is winning?

    This does suck.

    ReplyDelete
  33. HT round up in Scotland
    Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen
    Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock
    Motherwell 0-1 St Mirren
    Dundee United 1-0 Hearts
    Falkirk 1-0 Hamilton Accies

    ReplyDelete
  34. I will say that, despite giving up the goal away to Celtic, Aberdeen have looked the equal or better of their hosts. Time to keep up that perfect away form, boys.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm at work this morning, and the only things keeping me going are the huge coffee and West Ham being up 2-0 over Fullham at the half. Could this be our first away points of the year?

    Pretty ugly game, West Ham had no shots on target until the two goals in the last few minutes of the half, and Fullham has picked up 3 yellows and a red now. You can now go back to watching/discussing matches people actual care about.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Why does Roy Hodgson hate America so much?

    Good to see Riley is keeping himself on top of his fantasy EPL reffing league. Shit call on Cahill. And it's really fucking hard to make people want to defend Cahill.

    ReplyDelete
  37. WOOOOOOOOOO!

    1-1 Aberdeen
    Cross from the right evades all defenders. Back post volley from Mulgrew!

    WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wow, WTF is wrong with Man U? I know there is a half hour left, but still.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, there it is.
    1-0 Man U
    CRonaldo from penalty spot.

    ReplyDelete
  40. 2-1. Fucking A
    Aberdeen go on top on a 30 yard free kick from Mulgrew who beats Boruc near post.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This ones for you Georger, this is from my phone midway through the Chelsea game, but apparently ESPN has a time machine and found out how some of todays games would finish already. Its also like this on the table on the soccernet site.

  42. And Aberdeen miss a breakaway at the end. 3-2 Celtic FT

    ReplyDelete
  43. tough way to go, umlaut. Sympathies on that one...

    I'm off to watch an Arse/Dynamo double-header whilst consuming as much Harp as my liver can take (plus a few for the road)...

    ReplyDelete
  44. Last week, Eboue shoots too many times when others have a good look, this week, he doesn't shoot when he has a good look. Get him off the freaking pitch.

    ReplyDelete
  45. So I went to the Richmond Arms. I've watched Arsenal play 2.5 games of football there and score exactly zero times.

    So I left the Richmond Arms.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I should note that half was today hosting Hull with Eddie Izzard roaming the sidelines.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Likes: Winning; Cape Cod Robust Russet Potato Chips.

    Dislikes: Losing to Hull City; dribbling in the box for 1/3 of a game and not shooting.

    ReplyDelete
  48. ugh. i placed a bet on hull to win and chickened out on the confirmation page. im such a coward.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It seems like Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is always beating the Dons with a late winner. Strachan will have some interesting decisions to make up front on Tuesday. The leading goal scorer in the SPL, last year's leading scorer, or the guy who scored two goals on the weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm okay with it if it's a screamer, but this was just such a dinky goal (for JVoH). One of those that just squirts away and dies over the line. It's so frustrating to compare Celtic's three goals with Mulgrew's two fantastic efforts, knowing that if Aberdeen had a slightly better keeper or defense, and this game is three points to Aberdeen.

  52. Relegation form yet again for my Spurs. It'll be a surprise if Juande survives the week. He trotted out yet another odd, ineffective lineup today and his fascination with Zokora and BAE is going to cost him his job.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh, and Belhadj is in dire need of a good kicking. I imagine he and Judas get along well over at Pompey.
