Blame Ofcom, they forced Sky into a corner.

City looked like total strangers in the first half, massive improvement in the second though, after they've had a bit of time together we could be looking good. And Joe Hart did OK....

[Annasfield]

Joe Hart was immense.

How did Offcom force sky in to a corner. Aren't they playing their usual "it's my ball" type game when someone undercuts them?

[Sharon_H]

Blimey, that was quick Anna! :)

[Annasfield]

I am Sharon - you should know that.

*grins inanely and then winks*

[Sharon_H]

Aha, that was quick too!

*guffaws*

[Annasfield]

Whooooooops

[Sharon_H]

Whoops indeed!

*pissing myself laughing*

loving the new start to match of the day.

Can we name all the players from the past?

Ill start with georgie best.

[????]

I don't watch it after a day like that...

I'm gonna guess that there's Cantona and Beckham in there...Di Canio?

[????]

Anyway, seen the golf :))

[Mick Mac]

Starts with Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst, so watch next week.

[????]

That'll probably be the highlight for me

[Sandperson]

You can turn off after that Quids. Save the electric. ;-)

[SimonM]

So farewell then Kevin Blackwell

Wonder if we can get Martin O Neil?

Me too. The music also seemed to be the original version which took me back to my very early MOTD viewing. I was allowed to stay up late to watch it on a Saturday but only after having gone to bed at the same time as my younger brother and then get up once he had fallen asleep (stuffing pillows under the blankets to make it look like I was still there if he woke up). I've no idea why this was necessary!

For older viewers what about that Wolves goal. It reminded me of Ernie Hunt scoring for Coventry against Everton I think. I think it was called the 'donkey kick' which was subsequently outlawed from the game. Was it Willie Carr who set him up?

PS Revenge for the stuffed pillows under the blankets did follow when I was found out. I went to bed one night only to see what looked like stuffed pillows under my blankets. Pulling them back I found our beloved flea ridden collie/sheepdog Spot looking at me. I swear he could smile.

A game of two goalkeeping errors. Breathes sigh of relief!

[Narnia]

Compared to watching Spurs v City it was crap. Well the first 30 minutes anyway.

[red devil]

Anna/Sharon...I bet you wish you'd now kept your gobs shut about Tim Howard's blunder :))

PS...good to see Joe Cole has learnt 'the Liverpool way' so quickly.

*sniggers in corner*

[Sharon_H]

No, not really Red devil as we didn't get beat. Also should have had 11 men. But never mind.

[Keef]

Nice to see the personal baitig has already started. Same old sh!t.

[Sandperson]

I think it was just a bit of light-hearted banter wasn't it?

[red devil]

Don't worry SP, Keef's been on nappy duties this weekend, just a simple Freudian slip ;-)

[Sandperson]

Urgh. Nappies. I've got that to go through again in October. A baby on the way, not me having to wear them again.

[Jah Lush]

Lucky lucky Arsenal. Some things never change.

[Keef]

I was pleased with the pool yesterday, and they were unlucky to conceed a horrible goal, but I'd be more concerned if I was an Arsenal supporter. The Arsenal fans in the CPT were not a happy bunch. Liverpool controlled most of the second half, with 10 men.

Real shame for Cole, who is not a dirty player, but that was a red, no doubt. It wasn't malicious, but it was a shocking challenge. Hopefully he'll come back strong.

Anyway, I take heart form that performance (which basically should have been a win), and quite like the fact everyone has totally written the pool off. Now the reds can just get on with it, and see how the season works out. Spurs and City have a lot more pressure on them right now.
