Joey Barton's mustache would never strike. The grower of said mustache? Well, he may strike you.
Not really. But, I’m drunk, it’s 12:50 am on the West Coast and I don’t see a Bootroom in the post queue. I can’t even find the TV schedule. So, there are some games…just not in Italy. Spain’s games are starting this weekend after taking a French holiday last weekend…I mean being on strike last weekend.
So, ready, set, go!

Peril?
I figured ol’ Keef would be here first thing.
things better this morning, Shane?
Probably in that “still drunk/hungover” stage. If I made it through Kaunus I’;ll make it through this. Although this was a thousand-times worse performance. Congrats on being in Europe!
I suppose I can take consolation in knowing that my #10 isn’t Emile Hesky.
tis true, Heskey is shite
Killed any random Spurs fans lately? I can imagine a month like yours would be a decent defense in court.
benefits of living in MI – Spuds are very rare
I actually saw an older guy (maybe 70) wearing a Spuds hat a a minor league baseball game last week. When I asked him about it and told him I was an Arsenal fan he started giving me shit about Cesc. Asshole.
You missed your chance, Goat.
The cat is making some strong efforts on the Villa backline, but they’ve proven hard for him to break down.
/dumbass
Since when do games start at 7? I’ve been robbed of 40 minutes of Wolves football!
@Orr – truly a shame, as it has been scintillating
/no it hasn’t
QPR/Wigan has at least had a chance, although all free-kicks and corners have found the wall and first man respectively.
Get the feeling Barton could be the difference in QPR staying up, assuming he can stay on the pitch. The bottom six teams are just about all interchangeable.
Uh oh, I fear for NYK’s TV set
@Orr – I took the opportunity to walk the dogs, lest I do something rash
Welcome to the party, Franco Di Santo!
Villa knocking on the door here
Aquilani to Meelahn, yes? What’s the buyout option on the deal?
@Shane – They can make it permanent if he makes at least 25 appearances is what I’ve read
These games are driving me to drink
@Duke – well, at least now you have an excuse
Yeah; I’m here. Usin the bulk of my interweb resources on the espn3 stream. I fear this match might need some Stevie I in it to get it going. Bannan out wide was not a great move- he’s much better through the center.
@NYK and a flimsy one at that, but I’ll take it
Also as much as I want to scream free lichaj, herd has done a wonderful job neutralizing Jarvis.
Ok, good. Now we get wee Barry in the center
Jesus. Niiiiice ball, Bazza
Oh, Emile. What a dumb foul.
You would think that at some point in his career Shay Given would’ve worked on how to properly read and handle crosses into his area.
@Shane – Looked to me like he didn’t even say anything to Bent
none in the hole!
Quietest Irish-man I’ve ever seen.
.
Wonder why every team doesn’t have a guy with a Delap-like throw now. Since they laxed the rules on throw-ins it’s easy to whip a ball a good 35-40 yards on a line.
Well looks like someone finally figured out how to stop Darren Bent from scoring. Nice job Alex McLeish.
0-0, it’s as if Serie A wasn’t on strike after all
/self-loathing
Eeeeeeyuck. Thanks for subbing two fullbacks on to play midfield, Mick.
Did anyone just see that shot of Joey Barton? He looks like the worlds deadliest hipster
Warren Barton’s a fucking idiot
Actually, this entire pregame show is stupid…I feel like Reali dealing out all this Mute
Norwich are moving the ball around pretty nicely.
Sooooo glad I didn’t wake up for the Villa-Wolves match. Fuck Chelsea. That is all.
Lol@the ref popping balloons on the field. Poor Mike Jones.
Anyone having trouble with Foxsoccer.tv feeds, or am I in the direct path of a hurricane?
@Nathaniel: I wouldn’t pay for that, so I’m not.
Eh, it’s worth it, IMO. All the 10am games that FSC isn’t showing, plus Ligue 1, NPower, and Serie A (whenever that will be).
Archer’s bow!!! Take notes Lukaku!
its fun to say Romelu Lukaku
Drogba has the driest jheri curl ever…..
Romelu Lulemon
Canaries playing pretty well.
And that’s why you’re on loan, Naughton.
Grant Holt! Fantasy points! YAY!! FUCK CHELSEA!
Frangoooooooollllll
Down goes Drogba! Down goes Drogba! No death rattle??? Amateur…
Actually, that’s totally not funny, he didn’t even break his fall, he was out before he hit the ground
Torres should be off. That’s bullshit.
First off, that’s totally not a red, he hits the ball away from goal. Second, I’m so sick of seeing players slow down to buy contact by falling over a keeper’s hands
Norwich keeper gets the Guzan debut.
That rule really needs to be adjusted. Give a penalty spare the red for keepers.
come on canaries.
Lukaku is going to outscore Torres this season.
how the fuck did we get to 11 minutes of added time?
Drogba got knocked the fuck out for like seven minutes and then a PK and red card.
hey, chelsea have at least one spaniard that can score.
Norwich hard done. Torres should have been off before the penno on the keeper. Also, pretty sure I’ve got a good solid decade of frustration over Wenger not ponying up an extra million or two to get the Mata deal done. Fucking tightwad.
TIMMMAY!!!!! saved 2 penalties, several point blank shots and Everton scored a late penalty to win 1-0, suck it Venky’s
I’m here to watch £105m of amazing.
The brits use alligators in their commercials? Really? Do they even have those over there? I mean, do the british peoples even know what an alligator _is_?
whoa. Suarez is good.
@Han-ball: So is Charlie Adam.
Godammit! I’m at a beer tasting (free beer!) and keep getting updates on my phone every 5 minutes that the Crew have conceded. Down 3-0 to Seattle 25 minutes in.
TIMMAY saved two pens and had a clean sheet: I picked the correct goalkeeper this week for fantasy. Also, MY GOD A WIN IN AUGUST OMG WORLD IS ENDING
City: Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko
Zabaleta for Richards, Clichy for Kolarov, Nasri for Milner.
Spurs: Friedel Corluka, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Kranjcar, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart, Crouch.
Luka has apparently located his head and returned it to the right place.
