Weekend Bootroom: Frozen edition

WASTE from Guthrie

@Shane: The best part is when they disable streams after 75 or 80 minutes. No shit, I’ve watched streams that got disabled in stoppage time. Really? Bah.

@Shane, maxsportz4 dot blogspot dom com

Why didnt Guthrie let Enrique take that. Guthrie was so good for us last year, shame to see him struggle.

@wac: Savior.
@anon: I’ve seen SPL streams get disabled. Now tell me, who in the fuck does that!?

Being the soccer guy out of my friends, or at least the biggest soccer guy, I always thought I was the only person in the world with a bookmarks list a few miles long full of pages I watched a mid-season League 1 match at before. Glad to see that is not the case.

@Shane, I only have my.p2p bookmarked, but I also have Sopcast, Veetle, and TVU on my comp, so my dedication is solid (ridiculous)

Is it me, or have Newcastle played a lot of these early Sunday fixtures this year?

Ugh, rough night. I can always count on Fiorentina and Cagliari not to score before I wake up, or at all.

Much better for Newcastle

@ wacman – Agreed, diagonal balls seem to be working…

How the hell did that happen?

If it were anyone other than Alan Smith on the bench, I’d say take Guthrie out.

Not a good day for Guthrie.

Odemwingie just Benzema’d that in…and wow, sorry prada…

it’s like pradadamus over here. Guthrie gives away the goal, and then Smith gets booked SECONDS after coming on

I stepped away to punch a kitten. Ranger on for Jonas?

@Shane, fapltv dot com

This sucks.

Sol Campbell gets Howard’d…It’s his fault that he was standing there and didn’t move out of the attacking player’s way

Ok, that time it was Sol’s fault that he was just standing there…

Fucking Sol hailing a cab…when we’re good, we’re tremendous. But when we suck, we suck like no other.

All you Mutu fans out there will be happy to know that he’s the difference for Fiorentina so far, 1-0 over Cagliari

Hey, they pulled one back!

First rumor on this page.
Please?

@ Wacman – We’ll need it for GD.

@Ryan, HAHAHAHAHHAHA no

Spector’s starting for West Ham today. What a difference a brace makes huh?

C’mon you Hammers.

Is Spector playing in the midfield? Another Bale?

@Goat, I think so, but he is definitely a worse defender than Bale

I hope Spector adapts to this new position, but what it will mean for the national team is that Americans can evidently only play midfield well (besides gk, though Timmy hasn’t been as much of a beast this year). I want to see a friendly where we forget forwards and just use our depth of midfield talent.

I don’t know–Bale was pretty shitty. I also suspect Spector’s not very good in attack either, his midweek brace notwithstanding.

I watched this goal for Gyan, and he did that…Awesome

has anyone seen this picture of Guzan? it made me lulz. http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2010/11/17/1818300/usmnt-in-search-of-depth-as-they-take-on-south-africa

and I want to see Gyan dance again!

@Arkie, I meant to say game, Gyan just played a pinpoint ball to Henderson, who finished. The pass was great though.

lolz who ever thought we would see Spector running through defenses and actually doing a good job of it

Spector just had a great run. If anything, that’s a penalty, Ferdinand just shoved him as he took the shot

Brest look threatening to start the second half. NYK feels threatened by Brest.

Hoarau fail.

What a goal for Brest! 1-1.

What a great goal for PSG! 2-1.

I am full of creative and nuanced comments today.

@Anon, you rival the British announcers with your commentary good sir

the News of the World reported, without citing anyone.

Lulz.

And Giuly’s booked for a dive that wasn’t really a dive in the box. Wasn’t really a penalty either. Shoulder to shoulder.

Citations and sources are for lesser newspapers.

If City were to do that, if I’m ‘Arry I make that sale without blinking

If you’re ‘Arry you first make 20+ statements to the press about various issues of the day, then you might make the sale without blinking.

Granted it is the New York Post, but still http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/soccerblog/fifa_faces_calls_to_investigate_1LIpk4WMI8UEj1Pzt0EOCL

How does tiny Ludovic Giuly get a free header in the box? (Which he misses completely.)

@Brian: The next thing you know there will be insane accusations of “lobbying” in Washington, D.C. Such an irresponsible press.

@Anon, yea there is also a report that about 13 members of the Exco were “buyable” my response is that it is ONLY 13 members

PSG 3 – 1 Brest. Giuly’s better with his feet than his head, turns out.

@Brian: They probably mean 13 ExCom members they tried to buy. They just didn’t get around to trying the other however many.

@Anon, or maybe they ran out of money to try the other members, royal weddings aren’t cheap.

@Brian: Unlike, say, ExCom members. :P

That’s why Russia was able to win, Russian hookers are dirt cheap so it didn’t really cost them anything

@Brian, Qatari hookers must be free then…

Who needs hookers when you have oil?
/Qatar’d

I believe in Qatar you are given permission to treat every woman like a hooker.

@Anon, they used hookers to, its just they were covered up and snuck in the back door, the Russians just walked theirs right in the front lobby

I like these giant orange boxes in Ligue 1 games. They have written on them: “Orange (TM)”. Is that really a distinctive mark? “Orange”?

Green almost with the frango.

Green (TM) almost with the frango?

Uh oh Pups, Sunderland are doing the take the ball to the corner thing.

@Ryan: Their loss. Morans.

So, Brest got stomped. Will ASSE roll later today?

Faubert is sooooooo bad. Two good crossing opportunities, both were horrid

Disgruntled City player of the day.

On the other hand, these guys look pretty gruntled.

Props to whoever had the idea to put the title of the website on the browser to Unprofessional Foul Qatar? Seriously? Very well done

JT- ready for tomorrow’s Battle for 11th? Winner leads the bottom half of the table!

Don’t you fucking do it, Gerard.

@Keith, I haven’t clicked the link, I’m almost positive you don’t want wee little Mikey?

@Wac: We already have an over the hill front-line player. If Gerard wants to play a hold-up man and a poacher, he’s got Nathan Delfouneso to go alongside Gabby. We don’t need a sicknote when we’ve already got an injury crisis.

C’mon lads, tomorrow! Shit on the Villa! Something about … PERIL!

Uh oh. Spoke too soon. Vieira has competition for disgruntled City player of the day.

Yes. How dare Mancini sub his best player when they’re winning. How dare he not risk injury or exhaustion. Tsk.

I was pretty happy Beckford managed to not put it over from a yard out this time…

@WNF, I was happy with that as well, as Chelsea are slumping hardcore…

This Schalke- Bayern game is pretty open.

Gomez is PANTS1!!1!!!

Is this the most delayed talking to myself in the bootroom ever?

People offside on FKs: HATEHATEHATE.
