Mac the Knife Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 If you're like me (an American with DISH Network), you're getting a free preview of Setanta Sports this month, allowing you to catch the start of the 2008-09 English Premier League season. If not, you may still be a fan.Use this thread to post anything and everything related to the 2008-09 campaign! EDIT: Could a mod move this to the General Sports area? This wound up in "Sports Logos" for reasons that I can't explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averyj Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Woot! Torres scores goal 1 in premier league. You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hopefully the Magpies can keep up with Man U tomorrow but i have doubts Viduka is out for a while and Martins/Owen won't be 100% hopefully the rest of the team can keep up.

Fred T. Jane Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Spurs lose in their first match of the season... again! They fell to Middlesborough 2-1 with their only goal not from the players they spent Eleventy billion pounds on this summer, but rather an own goal.And in other European Football action, Arminia Bielefeld drew with Bundesliga Title hopefuls Werder Bremen 2-2 in a pulsating match with a double by local legend Artur Wichniarek! [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

TFoA Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Good to see the Gunners did quite alright in their first game today. Seemed like they were in complete control.Too bad the kits still don't quite look like Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 What the Hull: Fulham loses their opener 2-1 to another one of the newcomers. Not a promising start for a side that's been flirting with relegation the past couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hull is surprising an in my mind Boaz Myhill isn't that bad of a goalie but then again it was only Fulham JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Arsenal lost to Fulham. Got outplayed for the whole 90 minutes, too. The Gunners have been sub-par, IMO, through their first three games. They didn't do as well as most expected against Twente (though a 2-0 victory is nothing to complain about), scored their only goal so far in the 4th minute of their first EPL game, and basically got dominated by Fulham. Auspicious start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
