Concur. It is driving me crazy.
I don't know why this is such a big deal for Villas-Boas when he seems to have had no trouble being ruthless with Dawson's playing time.
Tottenham's young fullback Adam Smith has gone to Millwall on a three month loan.
Robbie Keane attended a Lakers game.
Anything to avoid talking about another late collapse by Spurs. Can you tell?
Didn't watch the game so I have no idea what happened. I enjoyed Torino going toe to toe with Lazio, though. So close, so very close to 3 points...
Di Matteo claiming that Chelsea's win is "justice" is pretty rich. It's still there the Capital One Cup there, Robby.
I forgot it was the League Cup so this is partially my fault because I forgot that there would be a winner after 90, 120, PKs.
I set up the DVR to record the game. (Avoided this thread since I figured somebody would be talking about it. Silly me, nobody cares about the League Cup.)
Got ready to watch the recording. At the time the game was scheduled to begin, beIN had the broadcast in the 7th minute. Multiple time, build up to goals was missed because they were showing Roman Abramovich instead. (This was a delayed broadcast, but maybe they had no way to fix that.) Halftime was abbreviated by beIN as was the break between regulation and extra time. With the missed beginning, my two hour DVR slot ended with the game in the 107th minute.
The fact that I didn't extend the recording is my fault, but do people know if beIN is regularly starting games when they are listed or if the listed times are "approximate"? I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've seen this; this was the first time I was recording but there was another game I saw when I was flipping through the channels that seemed to have been too far in regulation to have actually started at the time it was listed.
In general, I've found if they list the game as live on their programming grid, it will start on time. I've run into two exceptions--the Milan derby (where they indicated in advance they'd join in it in progress due to the Barca-Real Madrid game), and last week's Real Madrid game, which started a few minutes late (due to the Atletico Madrid game running long or something).
So in order to make things fit, the first few minutes are just skipped over? Ay caramba. Although that seems to be better than Mefisto's experience for sure.
And thanks for the link, puck. I wonder if there is a disconnect between beIN's programming grid and that of Comcast. beIN seems to have very few programs that start at the top/bottom of the hour and that might be causing problems.
Or it could just be that beIN doesn't have their act together.
That's the Saturday afternoon games and there is no restriction at all on international broadcasting of those. And it's not an EPL rule, it's an FA rule (and it's backed by European law).
Yeah we get all the games as England isn't worried about smaller clubs losing ticket sales due to masses of Americans not flying to England because their at home watching Wigan against Stoke.
No one read my link to Jen Chang's strong arm tactics against internet wind-up merchants? Jen Chang...who knew? (If the allegations are true, of course.)
Bastards!
I thought so, too, until LFC apologized to him.
This ha not been a great game. Arsenal have not pressured De Gea at all and really other than the goal it's not like United have peppered Mannone either. United seem the more likely to get a goal, they've moved better, just not getting it done in the final third.
Has there been water bottle abuse?
"Women are stupid children. Drink Tecate!"
(Also, she doesn't look fat in that dress.)
Would like to see Ade and Falque if things don't pick up sharpish.
The lack of movement from the front four was the main problem, I thought. Wigan were very disciplined in their 3-4-3, and they just plain outworked Spurs in closing down in their own half and cutting off the supply to Defoe and the wingers. Dempsey made more opportunities for himself, but unfortunately he's back to being the rather average player he was before his last season and change with Fulham.
It was an intelligent game plan from Martinez, who recognized that there was no need to get tight to Thud - simply mark his receivers and the quarterback has nothing to do but dump it short. Nobody in the middle had the ability to drive past his man and commit defenders to him; couple that with largely static forward play and you've got another toothless showing. I appreciate the absence of a few options for Villas-Boas, but the fact is he got out-managed today.
Trying to find a silver lining, maybe this is the shocker result that galvanizes the manager into making some overdue changes to the team.
The thing that bugs me is that the data isn't free. While it's not clear that the Opta data clearly differentiates better and worse players, it seems evident that it does differentiate better and worse fantasy players within their particular systems. But unless I dump money on it, the best I can do is see whatever the FFS guys and Chris Glover choose to dole out in free articles.
That's all I do. I read the arguments of other people and decide whether they are compelling or not. Since I'm pretty good at assessing other people's rationality it works out more than it doesn't. Looking at your team you seem to be following a similar strategy since we have all the same players.
It's also more complicated than that because so much depends upon playing time and usage. Information that isn't in the stats even if they are available. So I keep it simple and try and get players I know are going to play (Von Persie, Suarez) while avoiding the Manchester City jungle.
At this point, however, it is getting difficult to change your team, with only one transfer per week and the value guys more expensive than they were. It's really important to get in on the ground floor.
