The Soccer Thread (IV)

Kevin Nolan scores in the second minute to put Newcastle atop the Championship.

 

Four EPL matches on my DirecTV right now thanks to ESPN2, FSC, Setanta and Setanta Alternate. Heaven!!!

 

Georgie Bingham and Robbie Mustoe doing halftime on ESPN2. British voices in Bristol, uh oh.

 

Altidore in for Hull in the 60th minute.

 

And his first touch is an assist.

 

Comments on SBI indicate he wreaked some havoc and the crowd was chanting USA! USA!

 

Wigan's crowd was absolutely shit today. 18K for ManU? Most of it seemed to be gloryhunter scum too.

 

I thought that was odd too. Everybody on vacation?

 

Just their hearts? Good, that was an accurate knife thrust then.

Well, a goal. A goal is good, right? And Wigan show just how impressive Burnley's feat was.

Meanwhile, the mighty Hawks win again, 2-0 away to perennial nemesis -- and table-topping, before today -- Braintree Town. Second on goal difference.

 

How precious. It's a wonder they can even function day-to-day, the poor, wayward souls.

 

Does the veteran broadcast executive realize Africa is big, even just South Africa?

 

As great as the ESPN2 match is, I'm still upset that we've lost Special 1 TV in the Setanta mess.
