This seems to work for me

If you don't mind foreign commentary

I've got the Barca game which I've muted so I can listen to radio commentary in English.

Scratch that. Too many pop ups. Watching Arsenal now instead.

Massive slip-up for Chelsea. Loving it!

!@#$%! 09.18.2013 05:54 PM

fuck, just came back from the good internets hugely disappointed-- first, all the streams were shit and unwatchable (i can deal with blur but not with frozen video), two, weidenfeller got thrown out and dortmund lost HARD.

btw, i had no idea higuaín had moved to naples-- and benitez too!

anyway--

PAIN.

ps- at least bayern won yesterday. but i couldn't watch it.

You should have someone in India download and mail you the games.

Didn't see the Dortmund game but reports are saying the score flattered them. But then Napoli are a very good side at the moment.

All the headlines here are inevitably about Basel beating Chelsea. I love how the English press act disappointed when a big English club loses to a 'lesser' team when, in reality, the journalists seem to revel in it. Just like when it happens to the England side.

Love Klopp's angry-face

Haha.

Better team won and all that but it does feel horrible. Baines for England now though, must be, and surely Martinez will start Lukaku from now on.

h8kurdt 09.22.2013 11:18 AM

Oh United. After the good game on Tuesday, they do this miserable performance.

Shocking really. Although Man City were brilliant. When they click they look like a shoe-in for the Prem title. It's just if they click enough.

MU look shaky as fuck. It wasn't missing Van Persie, their midfield just isn't at it. Fellaini still needs to settle in but even if he does, it's still not that strong.

I'm hearing rumours that both Manchester teams want Iniesta, who hasn't renewed his contract at Barcelona.

http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/22/manche...iesta-4075749/

He's not quite what he was but he's still got some more seasons in him. He'd be a great signing for United. Don't see the need for another midfielder at city though. Maybe Pep wants to get him for El Bayern.

i doubt it will happen, he will re-sign. xavi has maybe one or at most two more seasons left. barca need iniesta now that thiago is gone forever.

but he would certainly make any team better.

So Paolo DiCanio is finally sacked. I predicted he'd be the first Prem manager to go and so it is. Results are one thing but his actions and the way he talked about the team were what made his positional untenable.

One of my absolute heroes as a player but, for perhaps the very reasons that made him such a cult figure on the pitch, he was never gonna cut it as a manager.

In the case of Ajax it's more like ATP "Don't Look Back", like some half-assed reunion of a legendary 70's band with one original member in the current line-up, rehashing the old days, playing inferior versons of their classic hit songs.

They lost twice by 4-0 this week, first against Barca and yesterday against PSV. It was a good week to be a Feyenoord fan.

shame. I was relying on him keeping Sunderland below us.

How long do you think Sam has left?

(I doubt we'll sack Holloway. No one expects anything unrealistic this season and he'd be a good a manager as anyone in the championship next season)

demonrail666 09.24.2013 02:03 AM

Haha, I was kind of relying on Sunderland being crap for the rest of the season under DiCanio, too.

Sam will be there at least till we move to the Olympic Stadium. Unless we're relegated before then. Can't say I'll miss him.

Holloway seems safe enough. Besides liking him, the problem is always gonna be finding a worthwhile replacement. The usual names, Curbishley, Warnock, etc, are hardly inspiring.

I dislike Spurs and Chelsea almost equally but I'd love to see Mourinho humbled by Villas Boas.
