Did anyone catch this today on Gillete Soccer Special?

Villa 1 - Bolton 0.

Back to winning ways, but not a great performance. Gabby had a chance to seal the game, and heskey, which should both have been taken.... Lacked clinical finishing, needed to get the second goal and in the end, scraped a win after a Bolton barrage in the last 10 mins.

I take it we've all seen this little slice of genius before as well...

Seriously, this is becoming a joke. Last time anyone scored for Leeds was a month ago. Just when we had it and I was certain this would be our year, our players suddenly stopped giving a ****. Shower of bastards!

Ah well, I'm praying we don't **** the playoffs up this year. But we will.

For anyone awaiting tonight's champion's league quarter final with baited breath...

BBC Sport - Football - Arsenal's mission possible

Unfortunately, fucking Sky are the only ones broadcasting it on the tele, so it looks like I'll be hunched over my desktop for a couple of hours catching it online. Better than nothing I suppose.

What site are you planning to watch it on Bulldog?

Bulldog · 04-06-2010, 12:33 PM

Should be on BBC Sport. I haven't watched a match on the website since the Confederations Cup last year, so I'm not sure it starts as soon as the game kicks off or a few minutes before. Should start streaming somewhere on the site any minute now though. If I can't get it working, Radio 5 will have to do I guess. Could be fun seeing what group of fans Alan Green pisses off next on it anyway.

edit - By the look of it, it's just the text updates and not the actual game. There's a link to the Radio 5 stream here though.

1-0 to Arsenal, Bendtner scoring from the Gunners' first attack.

Crikey.

edit - 1-1 now. Sounds like quite a game this - shame Sky had to be such spoilsports and hog the broadcast rights.

Blimey...Messi hits one back.
Sounds like a classic already.

Bulldog · 04-06-2010, 01:28 PM

3-1 Barca, Messi' hat-trick. Game over by the sound of it. Can't really see the Gunners digging themselves out of this one, barring a miraculous half-time talk. It'd be nice if they did though.

Whatever happens, Man U-Bayern tomorrow should be pretty good as well. Good job it's on ITV too.
