2013/2014 English Premier League Thread

[The Big Chill]

I can't imagine Moyes resting RVP yet. He'll really want to secure a few wins first or he'll risk having the pressure really mount on him.

[devo22]

plus Welbeck picked up an injury with England right? I'd say start RVP, sub Hernandez for him.

EDIT: got it wrong, Welbeck missed the Ukraine game with a card suspension ... thought he was injured.

This is a great site to monitor if you're hoping to predict the starting line-ups. They rarely get it wrong.

It got both Tottenham and Man U wrong so it isn't that rare that they get it wrong.

10 out of 11 Crystal Palace players correct.
8 out of 11 Manchester United players correct

10 out of 11 Spurs players correct
11 out of 11 Norwich players correct

Sigurdsson in for Chadli was not something anyone could have predicted - the website unfortunately isn't able to accurately predict twenty-four hours in advance who will get injured in the warm-ups ten minutes before the match starts. Joel Ward missing out on the start for Crystal Palace was the same deal.

so tsn.ca....

maybe thing about upgrading your stream to HD?

I can get better quality at some random eastern european streaming site

Is anybody watching the Sunderland/Arsenal match? I have seen Ozil play for Germany before, but ever since GOL TV dropped La Liga I haven't been able to see Madrid play anything other than the odd Champions League match. I'm very impressed with him so far. Worth the hype from what I've seen just in the first half alone.

I just pulled up the Spurs/Norwich match because of your post, and it looks crystal clear. Maybe you have a problem with your connection?

the little box on the main page is fine when you first open it, when I make it full screen it's not HD

So the site does a good job of making educated guesses on the line-ups that most of us could. Awesome.

Its the same quality for me when I watch in the little box and make it to full screen.

Edit: Now it is getting pretty poor

I had it up on full screen and while it wasn't HD quality, it wasn't far off! Perhaps you have a weaker signal than I do. I think there is a way to check your internet connection, something called a ping test. I'm pretty sure Shaw have a way to check it right on their website. Maybe I was just lucky, but the Spurs/Norwich match was perfect quality for me. Was that the match that you were watching?

[d_phaneuf]

my internet connection isn't an issue, like I said I can get HD streams from many other sites

Maybe I'm just lucky. I've been watching dodgy streams on the internet for years, so I know exactly what kind of definition and buffering issues you are talking about.

Were you trying to watch the Spurs/Norwich match on tsn.ca? Or the other one? I think it was Villa/Newcastle?

[Matty81]

Time for the united brigade to pile on. I though Ashley Young was awarded a penalty and they won that game on a marginal call. Little bit of shoulder contact, most players would have fought to stay up and control the ball... and I'm not sure it was even in the box. They were flopping all over the box like a bunch of Hondurans in that first half. Alright let me have it.

[d_phaneuf]

now he just flings his legs out wildly to create contact

[devo22]

Ashley Young is a cheating, diving prick who wasn't worth that much money and who hasn't provided a lot for United except for the first half of the 2011-12 season. I have not much to add to that, I just don't want to see him in a United shirt. Adnan Januzaj outplayed him with ease today, the lad has a bright future.

[rubecube]

God, do I hate Chelsea.

[Fusebox]

Luiz should have been sent off there, no doubt about it. Everton are playing Chelsea off the park.

[rubecube]

Typical Chelsea. Getting outplayed and start gooning it up.
