I feel really, really sorry for fans of Blackpool. They've just appointed Lee Clark as manager.

[Xilor]

Does anyone have a good reliable website to stream football games live? I don't mind paying a small monthly fee, my local TV provider barely carries any games now that American Football and Hockey is back and last time I tried finding a stream myself for the El Clasico last week I got a whole bunch of viruses on my laptop.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool at half time, game is terrible, neither team really taking the initiative..

...and Newcastle are 1-0 up with Perez getting the goal, only 15 mins to go...

Newcastle 1-0 Liverpool full time, well deserved for the Toon, Liverpool poor again and Mario didn't have a kick, Real Madrid and Chelsea to come for them this week too!

 

[sems4arsenal]

Oh man, Alexis is insane, what a player.

 

[Phoenix]

Really pleased with Real beating Granada 4-0 and not using much fitness doing so. In to the CL match with some good results in hand.

And the Manchester derby tomorrow. Not gonna predict or hope anything, take it as it comes...

 

[Cobra_GT500]

I'm glad Newcaslte beat Liverpool I like to seem them do well as half my family come from Newcastle at least now I wont be hearing about how bad they are doing for a while . Now United need to get a result and we will be good. I hope we can keep City on there losing form.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the Western Sydney Wanderers have become ACL Champions (and the first Australian team to do so) in just their third year.

Not their third attempt. Their third year of existence.

 

[C-ZETA]

Also bear in mind the new Asian champions are from Oceania.

I'm feeling alright about the derby tomorrow. Which means City will probably win.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Sanchez is looking like a shrewd piece of business by Wenger; with Walcott getting back and Giroud still to come the strike force is looking handy.

Now just to sort out the back 4 .

Edit: anyone see Mourinho's comments on the Chelsea crowd

"I think the man responsible for the lights was in the same mood as the crowd, because everybody was sleeping," added Mourinho.

"He took 20 minutes to understand that it was dark, but I took 30 minutes to understand that the stadium was not empty.

[Pagey279]

With the style of football Chelsea play under Mourinho it's hard to see how anyone can get excited over that.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Looks like Smalling didn't celebrate Halloween as he had his horror show today, no idea what he was thinking for the first yellow, City dominated the first half but we had better of the second despite them scoring, Fellaini put in another good shift and was impressed with McNair and Wilson when they came, thought Di Maria was maybe at fault for the goal, disappointed but not devastated...Onwards!

 

[Akmuq]

Adebayor and Soldado start for Spurs, no Kane or Lamela.

That's a little depressing.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Kane should start for me, been terrific in Europe and I don't know what more he can to get a regular place in the eleven..

To be honest, they only have one chant, it must be hard for them supporting Chelsea and City /bantz

I didn't think we would get anything from this game after Smallings red card. In January I hope we can buy useful defenders not ones who either get injured or red carded. We have Palace up next should be an easy 3 points. Would like Falcao to start to get game time before we play Arsenal.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Villa 1-0 Spurs at half time, Weimann with the goals which is their first goal in over 9 hours of football!, in that time Ronaldo has scored 20 goals and Leeds and Watford have been through five managers between them since Villa got their last goal!

Back to United, its 13 points after 10 games for Van Gaal, last season it was 17 points after 10 games for Moyes!

 

[Pagey279]

Adebayor and Soldado start for Spurs, no Kane or Lamela.

That's a little depressing.

Madness. Adebayor is inconsistent at best and Soldado is extremely consistent at being 🤬

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Villa 1-2 Spurs, what a strike by Kane for the winner, even if it did take a deflection, Benteke was maybe harshly sent off..

 

[Ross]

Well on the bright side, we actually dominated a lot of the second half today. I really thought it would be a goal fest after Smalling got sent off. Carrick did very well today I thought considering this was his first competitive game since May for the senior team. Overall though, it's not looking good for the next few games, with Jones and Evans still likely to be unavailable, Smalling suspended and Rojo possibly out as well, we have a severe shortage of centre backs.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

And Rafael!

 

[Ross]

And Rafael!

Well yes but he's a full back. But even so, he's a major loss to the team. Valencia put in a decent shift at right back though.

 

[C-ZETA]

Seriously? Why don't United have a right back?
Granted it is probably the 'weakest' position in football today, but that means the standards for the best are lower, and you can get them for cheap. No one grows up wanting to be a Gary Neville...but then a new right back could well be him.

 

[Inferno251]

Meanwhile, in Australia, the Western Sydney Wanderers have become ACL Champions (and the first Australian team to do so) in just their third year.

Not their third attempt. Their third year of existence.

They got EXTREMELY lucky though, will two challenges in the box not being penalties, a handball in the box not being a penalty, the fact that Al Hilal (their opponents) had 9 of their 35 shots on target and their 60% possession. Having said that, Al Hilal didn't deserve to win, for talking s:censored: about the Wanderers, saying they were 'lucky" to reach the final, the coach saying that he would "promise" Al Hilal the trophy, and lets not forget about the lasers being shone at the goalie Ante Covic-yet still he stopped all of those shots! from going in

Now they are the first Australian team to win the Asian Champions League (3 teams prior won the Oceania Champions League) and are now the 5th team in Australia's history to make it to the Club World Cup (technically 5, one team qualified but the competition was cancelled for that year). They play the North American champions Cruz Azil on the 13th December, and the winner of that plays Real Madrid...

Either way congrats to the Wanderers, coming from a Sydney FC fan here...

 

[Akmuq]

Can't say I like the behaviour of Soldado and Lamela in the Benteke sending-off. Although Sky Sports were criticising Mason who I don't think was too out of order.

Also, whoever suggested that Fellaini was spitting on Aguero only wanted some controversy.

I wouldn't put it past him, I always did see him as a dirty player prior to his utd days and wished we hadn't signed him but I haven't seen as much of it since he's been here. I would however back him if he had done, just because I hate the play acting of strikers in the box. "You clipped my toe?" Well best act like you kneed me in the balls then.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Palace 0-1 Sunderland, Fletcher with the goal, Sunderland are wearing their new 3rd kit, which looks nice..

Better make that 1-1, another own goal by Sunderland, fourth of the season!

Palace 1-3 Sunderland full time..

 

[Liquid]

Well...

David James has been declared bankrupt and must auction off hundreds of items of memorabilia to raise funds.

 

[m8h3r]

How do you play at the level he played at then be bankrupt 2 years later.
