Can't see Townsend playing 3 games in one week. Although maybe AVB is willing to use him intensely at this point as he's building momentum.

Lennon will probably be missing through injury.


Toure scores for City. Still gelling. They'll be fine sadly

Man Fulham are so negative away from home, i'd be surprised if there's more than 1 goal in this game. I swear Jol used to be known for exciting football.

I wish Stoke still had Ricardo Fuller

On the bright side, Newcastle have doubled their season's shots on target tally.

NBC a bit concerned at the lack of action in the EPL - SIX HOURS of combined time and ZERO goals.  

Not good after the good ol' USA had to watch the dross served last Monday by supposedly the best teams in the league.

Hang on NBC! you ain't seeing nothing yet.

Oddly, if we got a couple of goals, miracles do happen sometimes, we'd end the day on top of the table, haha.

It will turn off a lot of the casual fans, especially the games that are shown on NBC proper.

I don't know what the music that was playing during halftime was, but I rather enjoyed it.

Some English guy on NBC telling America that this is just an "anomaly" in the league and that the goals will start to flow and that "normal service will return".  

THIS IS the EPL!

Funny how they don't shout "This is the Premiership..." when the British managers are on.

That Monday game was a total fiasco. All the hype and they served that dross. All the new American fans who were ready to embrace the EPL were not impressed at all.

And, now more dross.

You'd argue that there aren't normally goals in the premiership?

Crap Winston Reid just got hurt, went up for the ball and K Jones went low, landed his the shoulder.

Excuse me while I don't give a shit what Americans think.

Anita could really be a quality player under the right coaches, in general play he is better than Cabaye.

It was a big mistake to have all the shit teams playing at once

What did the Americans make of the dross served up in the Spanish Supercup match earlier this week?

Cabaye bewed onto the pitch.

These past two weeks have been so poor, hope Liverpool,swansea and arsenal can make up for it tomorrow.


LA liga. Rarely serves up match days this poor back to back

That 0-0 was much better than the Chelsea v man u game for sure. Beside most of america didn't see it, as it was only on ESPN deportees

First goal! 1-0 Norwich

God, Pieters sucks at crossing.

Why - because the referee awarded a dodgy penalty?

Barcelona had 1 shot on target all match and Atletico made about 47 fouls. I wouldn't call it anything other than dire.

Crap, Pennant, 0-1 Stoke

Fatty digs us out of the shit.  

Pardew will sit in front of a mirror and wank himself into a coma tonight.

Will we stay in Premier League with 38 points?  

Yaya, Pennant, Redmond, Ben Arfa - not many goals but the ones that were scored were blinders. The majority of Americans will never like football as long as the scores aren't in double figures, peppered with ad breaks, semi naked girls with pom poms and cannons that fire free t shirts into the crowd at full time.

The ones who do like football appreciate the contested endeavour and solitary moments of joy that come with it. Nobody wants to watch a team be 5-0 up by half time

You should have been awarded a penalty. Shocking decision

Hands up if you were right about Sunderland and Di Canio.  

Giaccherini, I hope the pay rise was worth it. Imagine going from Juventus to this.  

Di Canio started laughing after the 3rd goal, the mackems are not happy. 

DiCanio & Pardew are top of the manager sack race betting
