“Joey is a good player to have at the football club,” admitted Onuoha during the hour-long phone in show. “He is very experienced and the more people you have in and around the squad that have done it you can look at any situation and nothing flusters them.

“He has sort of created a new position in the side which I don’t know what it is called but it's not right wing and it's not right midfield either – it's just slightly in. That’s how unique he is they have his own position for him."

quality zing imo

Could always run the entire 380-game season as a series of bi-option polls

NextGen cancelled due to lack of funding, wtf

what they should've done is invite some of the richest clubs from the world's richest leagues to play in it

and Celtic

where did firstrowsports.eu go? what are we going to do?????

It went here: http://firstrownow.eu/

No worries :)

panic attack over.

:)

When in doubt: Googling "first row" has always helped me out. They seem to (have to) change address a lot.

"I don't think it's a healthy thing to have too many French players in one dressing room," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live.

^^ new thread title, someone sort that out already

The Premiership recent got a court order that they can enforce to make ISPs block access to First Row. They got a bit heavy-handed this week and took down every other site that shares the same IP address, like the Radio Times. Which might explain why First Row changes around a lot.

Either way no doubt the epl now employs someone to hunt these aliases down as they arise, so I'm expecting it to disappear in the middle of every match now. The rules are different now and the new thread's going to have to react as it happens.

Where is the blighter anyway? I'll start it myself if I have to.

GET INVOLVED - will Liverpool win the Premiership 2013/14?

The time has come.

I've fired up my BT Sport for the first time but the pre-amble shit features Tim Lovejoy. Not risking *that*.

I thought I had BT Sport. I phoned to check already and it was certainly up on launch night, but featured women's tennis or somesuch so I hadn't checked back in. This week it transpired that no, in fact I don't have it and need a new box. It's impossible to find out how to order the fucker.

The missus, bless her, has spent her morning going through all their call centres, with result that I should be hooked up by next week. Probably for the best.

I've just gone for online, didn't bother with TV schtuffs. I only ever watch footy on the laptop anyway. Was simple enough, just had to buy it for £0 as an existing customer etc.

I'm switching from Sky to BT Infinity anyway on Wednesday so I think I'm just gonna pay the extra £20 a month for Sky Sports and have the bundle, three matches a month on BT Sports is pretty shoddy

BT Sport is great, apart from the 3 minute lag watching online. It might only have a few EPL matches a month but it also has French, Russian, German, Italian and MLS stuff.

Would never give Sky a cent on principle - BT just means I get a few legit matches occasionally rather than streaming them all naughty like.

New firstrow site already blocked byt my isp, http://www.viplivesports.eu/sports/football.html is my goto for streaming - which I don't need today as Virgin just added BT Spot to my package.

don't need until 3pm you mean

It might only have a few EPL matches a month but it also has French, Russian, German, Italian and MLS stuff.

Oh really? Confess that I was unaware of that. Well great then, cause I get quite a lot of La Liga on Sky Sports so that should cover most bases in my bid to become a boring football freak for the next 8 months :)

It's not only 3 games a month is it? Must confess I've no idea what's actually going to be on BT Sport once I get it.

don't need until 3pm you mean

gpwm

xpost Yeah, all on Satrudays so far as I can tell, which is great because there's never Premier League on Sky Sports on Saturdays

Breakdown of who's got what

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-335440481.html

FULHAM boss Martin Jol suffered a shock during his attempts to sign Tottenham’s England midfielder, Scott Parker.

The club thought that after matching QPR’s successful £2million offer for the player they would be be granted permission to talk to him.

But they had not allowed for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s tough negotiating stance. Levy told Fulham that they would have to pay double the fee agreed with QPR to take Parker from White Hart Lane.

Levy insisted that the £2m figure was a reduced price because QPR were in the Championship. Premier League clubs would be asked to shell out £4million.

That's more juvenile than hard man.

Sell to a league rival or not for equal money? Fairly simple answer that imo. Def ask for another million anyway.

"spend, spend, spend, i'm looking for a good time."

tbf to arsene i'd be wanting to troll that fanbase to the max too

maybe he's pointing the sign at the guy with the sega dreamcast-era kit

aww baby bojan is playing for ajax vs feyenoord

You watching? It's sad Feyenoord is so piss poor.

lol bojan taking on mathijsen and martins indi

That was p funny. Bojan off now. All he's done since he's at Ajax is moan and fall over.

since 2008, unfortunately

i hope he prospers but the psychosomatic illnesses don't suggest he is quite there as a high level fitba player

I bet he hates Messi so much

not impressed by ajax playing on the break at home vs a weak feyenoord
