Premiership 2007/08

[destroyed]

I'm hoping United retain the title, and I'm expecting Newcastle or Tottenham to be moving into the top four with Chelsea and Liverpool. I think Arsenal will just miss out on a top four spot this year. It's going to be an interesting season this year.

Uh-oh, Dawson's now out for Spurs. Three of our first choice back four are injured and the one that's fit, Chimbonda, will play out of position. We'll just have to outscore 'em >_>

[IAceI]

Hasn't that been the Tottenham motto for a while now anyways?

I'm excited, cautious, nervous and optimistic all at the same time. Come the end of the day, should it all go tits up, I'm just happy the season's finally starting

I'm torn - I really like spurs - I've "followed" them since Year 6 - so about 8 years, but I really like Roy Keane and Quinny so I'd like to see Sunderland do well too

[IAceI]

I can safely say that after today, I will be rooting for Spurs as usual until we play them again, then after that I will once again be rooting for Spurs.

But today, they're my worst enemies

EDIT: What the fuck is that score bar doing!?

Yeah I dislike the score bar being in the bottom left hand corner either. Seems a bizarre decision by sky sports. Could be an important moment of the game now as Spurs seem to be upping their game now.

[9 to 5]

Any bets lads?

I have a Blackburn, Forest, Hibs, Chelsea and Man Utd accy laid on. Those of you who have (or want to open) a skybet account, if you lay on 5 quid on a single bet and quote the promo code MAGSB you get a free fiver bet on anything you like. Sharing the wealth. >_>

[Baddar]

A decent enough first half I thought, even though it didn't have too many chances. I'm just glad to see competitive football again.

I've got Boro to beat B/Burn 2-0 later at 10/1 I think it is with Betfred. I don't bet online though, I prefer to walk down and watch the faces of the moody tastards handing over the money.

[IAceI]

.. chances are you won't be seeing that this time.

[wozzi]

They've just said on the radio that Sven has all 8 signings in his starting 11 and bench.

[Baddar]

.. chances are you won't be seeing that this time.

That's why it's 10/1

[IAceI]

You're not going to see a penny. So I'm sure the bookies are happy taking your money in that respect. If Boro win 2-0, I'll stop posting in the football topics for this season

Berbatov has been subbed...and he's not a happy man

[IAceI]

Not sure how they figured it out to be a Spurs throw in, but it was worth it to see Jenas try to do some cocky control and lose it immediately.

Eh, I didn't put it on because I was full of confidence about it happening. It's the first day of the season, anything can happen. Even a Boro 2-0 win....I hope

[IAceI]

It's just odd. Considering I reckon these two teams will be firmly at different ends of the spectrum in a short while, with Blackburn pushing up around 5th or 6th and Middlesbrough around 16th, possibly going to be dragged into a relegation scrap. They don't have Viduka now, not entirely sure when they intend on scoring goals from.

They have Yakubu, but considering Viduka was their most prolific striker last season I reckon they really will struggle. And signing Mido won't change anything there either since they seem poised to get him - thankfully.
