SOUTHAMPTON ARE STILL A BIG CLUB! The Premier League, 2014/15

bit twee i thought tbh

bazza didnt disappoint mind - "four heads to find, he had to find his own feet first"

yeah i was pretty annoyed at all that 1970s graphics bullshit

every "celebration" is a tawdry rewrite of history

enjoyed shearer's stony expression as savage highly recommended lennon for the palace job

probably just overinterpreted his brainless resting face but still

Thinking that Lil Aaron might have been quite useful against a team playing three at the back, although I'm eagerly anticipating this Chadli-Traore donkey derby on the left. Otherwise this looks like quite a sensible team selection, glad that a Spurs manager has finally realised that Etienne Capoue is a very good player.

Think you'll beat us in a really annoying way today.

stream v pixelly can I get a lineup pls

lack of VG players not rly our prob in centre mid I think, more the mix

Lloris, Rose, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Dier, Bentaleb, Capoue, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Adebayor.

@GuillemBalague
The price for di María (in euros): United offered 60m, Real wanted 90. Final figure: 80 million, including adds on. £63.9m

that's a lot of money

beautifully taken

thought I've seen soldado non?

well he's on the bench

how much does a set of soldado shirts cost right now

re: motd - I thought the stark white overlays were pleasingly dry. the gesture is obv borne of nostalgia & those minimal graphics were presumably deployed by the same editors who whip up all those mile-a-minute montages/Adverts For The Premier League to get 12 yo's adrenaline up, but they were new to me & their incongruously starchy looked appealed. football culture is quite twee in general w/ its livery & folk songs, none of it looks so hot if analysed from afar, & - sorry if this is a bit reflective lads, bear w/ me - perhaps the appeal of getting emotionally invested in it is, as someone once confessed to me, largely the analgesic pleasure of being stupid for a while. so anyway, I liked the graphics on match of the day last night, I thought they looked nice

so what position is dier playing

This is already way better than any Spurs performance last season. We are just so much faster getting the ball out from the back and way more fluid and intelligent in attack. Overjoyed that Lamela is finally coming good.

Dier at RB I think. Looks excellent.

otm x 3

also winning all 50/50s its strange almost as if you can actually care AND have tactics amazing

special mention for rose, against teams where we need to push up he's really very good. when we need to defend, eh jury's out at best

wow Lamela

chadli for twenty this season at cf

lovely assist from lamela. spurs are looking good here.

Pretty sure that Poch has a good idea of his best XI already, something that AVB and Timmy never did.

Really nice to see Vertonghen playing like he gives a shit again. I'm sure playing in his actual position helps

on a general note is sopcast just not a runner anymore? never have any joy finding good flash streams I'm basically getting noisy holiday slides from this one

nk just found a 5kbps stream so sharp it hz

this one's ok http://www.ifeed2all.eu/type/football.html

put ad blocker on too

this but found a good in

pls pls dembele rehab starts now

I don't think spurs were 4 goals up at any point last season. v early days but it's nice to see some crisp passing

Dembele dispossessed a QPR midfielder, ran half the length of the pitch and then straight into the opposition defence. It was like having Zokora back.

yeah he was rank when he came on

Hey he played an actual honest to god through ball for rose, baby steps

do you still have the receipt for dembele? feel free to return him for another one http://www.fulhamfc.com/player-profiles/moussa-dembele

Great seeing Capoue an autoselect for Spuds at the moment, he's like a beefcake David Howells for the 2Kteens.

Could do with those two Sunderland lads, Brown and O'Shea, in our back three.

absolute shambles

Fletcher and Cleverley midfield is a sick joke

I feel sorry for Fletcher with his health problems, but he's half the player he used to be

Could do with those two Sunderland lads, Brown and O'Shea, in our back three.

Scariest thing is, that's actually true.

Three-at-the-back is still is a shitty fad, especially with untried 20 year-olds or Richard Dunne in it.

lol QPR at ours last season were just heroically inept with 3 at the back, especially since the rwb was aaron hughes

fucking pathetic rangers. didnt expect much this soon just not a clueless shitshow littered with basic errors

no credit deserved whatsoever for dispatching that rabble, you'll not have an easier game. small comfort lamela still looked wank i guess

also watched kerry v mayo after, either would have given us a thumping too

Somewhat off topic: I have a 'new' iphone (not actually new, but sent as a replacement by my insurer) and can't seem to bookmark any threads in ILX when I use it. Anyone know how to fix this?

XP what'd you make of mayo? its the hope that kills you imo

Felt sorry for Mayo, they shouldn't have had your man sent off Imo. Great match.

Can you take this somewhere else? This thread is for Prem football and iphone talk only.

I've bumped the relevant thread tbf

I'll use that one...

this fuckin guy

"Like I said, I thought the sending off was harsh. You can let players get away with dumb stuff like that in GAA surely, it wasn't malicious. Kerry that bit cleverer with the ball, I fear Mayo have blown their chance.

Based on the evidence today (some clever runs from Eriksen, that thing Lamela did when he let the ball run past him which caused the defenders a moment of confusion) I'd say this Spurs XI are learning how to put attacks together. This is in stark contrast to the AVB era of running down the middle of the pitch toward a line of defenders.
