The only way we'd sell 9,000 tickets for that game is if we'd never played at the ground before. If it's on telly, we'd probably sell about 3,000 tickets. If it isn't on TV, maybe 5,000 tickets. Think Arsenal tend to charge their own fans cheap prices for these sort of games, so it may be close to a sell-out.

Burnley have signed a core of players with decent Premiership experience, who are good characters and will not upset the strong team ethic that got them promotion. It's extremely sensible management. Bit surprised that Matthew Le God is critical of this.

I also have Offside Streams. Think it's illegal though, I got told off by Digital Spy Forums for referring to it on their mega thread about football streaming on their Online Entertainment Services board.

Can't see Joel Ward signing for us. Good player, but a proper Skate, think he's from the cesspit. Would be great if we could get him, the Skates fans would be fairly gutted, I reckon.

No chance of Saints signing Townsend. The £12 million bid has clearly been leaked (either by Townsend's agent or Spurs) to potentially get a bigger payday for Townsend from QPR or another club, and possibly also to unsettle Schneiderlin some more.

Watched it on PLP. Was pretty decent. Occasionally slipped out of HD quality, but couldn't complain.

Have just taken out a 1-month subscription to SportsNationHD as a back-up to PLP.

I am yet to receive this E-mail from PLP, but am half-expecting to get it at some point. Just wondering, did you subscribe to PLP at the Taiwan price of about £30 for the season? I wasn't brave enough to try blagging that, and was just paying £10 a month.

Of course he could have replaced Lovren. How many left-sided CB's are actually left-footed? Isn't John Terry a left-sided CB?

Sounds about right; they usually do a free trial for 10 days or 2 weeks to start with; well, they did when I first started using Unotelly.

Hillbilly alert. How do you adjust the speed settings?

Thinking about it, I remember seeing Deeney play against up at Walsall in League 1 and thinking that he looked a handful.

I also rather rate Deeney. Think he may have had one or two brushes with the law in recent years, but he looks a potentially proper striker to me.

I've just set up a subscription to Premier League Pass for a tenner a month. It does look a really good picture on there.

I'm beginning to wonder if we're selling all the top players to finance an expansion of the ground. Can't see Koeman being given that much of the incoming monies to spend on replacements. It's just not going to happen. Maybe the club are going to put another 10,000 - 15,000 seats in the ground? Would certainly elevate our status as a club. Even if we don't have the players to be able to guarantee filling it......

Interesting. Clearly at least one other club is in for him. Really hope he signs, though the actions of our ex-skipper would indicate it isn't exactly the biggest sign of long-term loyalty.

Aren't Liverpool after Reed as well?

If Rodriguez wasn't injured, I very much doubt he'd still be with the club at the start of the season.

Could see this happening actually. But would we all be prepared to wait for the 4-5 weeks for England to have a disastrous World Cup and the FA to sack him?

Fine words butter no parsnips.

I think he MLT made Schmeichel look even more stupid with his goal in the 3-1 grey shirt drubbing. Rudolph has always hated us since.

We could sign Hammond, Chaplow, Fox, Richardson and De Ridder, and walk away with the Championship title in two seasons' time.

I watched it today on Sportsnet Ontario via the Offside Streams site. Was pretty decent, probably better than StarSports, which does get blurry at times. For a fiver a month, Offside Streams is decent.

Don't Bein Sports only have the one live 3pm kick-off game on a Saturday though?

I've been using Star Sports for the last few months, with Unotelly DNS. It's not perfect, you get a blurry picture for part of the game and then a cystal clear picture for the rest. Has been pretty reliable so far though, and you do at least get the English commentaries.
