GET INVOLVED - will Liverpool win the Premiership 2013/14?

trololol

YES

now see it out lads

Keeper! Brilliant.

ffs

mignolet delivering when it matters tbf

THE OFFICIAL START OF THE SEASON

walters and i were worried minnie was going to break the goal tbh

Great noise from the crowd for that save, actually feel quite pleased for Mignolet

"you don't look for trouble" was my fave

Gah! The BT Sport server seems to have fried about twenty minutes ago and i missed all this.

"fabulous game" o__0

it was a good game, surprisingly

I guess you could say that the lads in shale didn't have enough gas in the tank. You could say that.

Is Halsey's only role going to be to excuse poor refereeing every week, with an obligatory "Let's not forget about the man in the middle" at the end of each game? What a great idea

I imagine the lads in suits are checking his contract break clause as we speak

Of BT's nine matchday analysts, he'll be the one sacked before christmas.

NAMING RIGHTS thread killing it on the 'most read' list right now

Di Canio says NO to ketchup

For 25 days I accepted this, because my first priority was to work on the field. However, I’ve said that from now if someone comes inside with a mobile phone, even in their bag, I’ll throw it in the North Sea. They’re banned.”

Ah fucking hell, so it begins. Ox released down the left with no one near him, cross for Giroud to slot in

Bummer, but nice play from Arsenal.

The comments of people GETTING INVOLVED at the Beeb live coverage are depressingly predictable

Liverpool score: WHO NEEDS SUAREZ
Arsenal score: WHO NEEDS NEW SIGNINGS

We should set up an ILF twitter account and aim to get quoted on that page ffs

joe cole, remember the name

Second half of that first game has made me long for the winter break.

Centre halves marking space, sack em. Sack em all.

That's a red. Fuckers.

drizzle and gale and malky mackay with his coat on. the epl sleeper has awakened

Shit pens a theme today it seems

Cunt ref

Good job he got the rebound, that penalty was cack

cack is too kind.

Jesus, this is a fucking bloodbath atm, everyone's getting hurt

Garth Crooks going nutso over the lack of red card "Wenger wants goal line technology! He wants justice! Where's the justice there?!"

Keown going "aye awright, fuck sake Garth" under his breath.

Yeah Crooks is being quoted on the BBC website now:

This is the magic of football, we bring in goal-line technology which Arsene Wenger says will bring 'justice', but then we have the goalkeeper pulling a player down and he does not go. Anything other than at least a point for Villa and Paul Lambert deserves to feel aggrieved."

Last sentence is proof of how over-excited he's getting, has he seen our defence?

jenk on. switching from sunderland - fulham to ars - vill

fuckin hell villa harlequins

i too have switched to this from whu/cardiff

keeping the radio on to keep abreast of kevin lisbie goals though

i'm already starting to get sick of this season, charltonwise. ten games they say, ten games

haaaaaaaa chesney

did well with the first tackle on benteke tbf

That looked like Arsenal trying to outlol the Villa defense. My god.

westwood floating it in was stupid. just cunt the bloody thing

when did villa turn into these lumpen thugs

tbf it's only incompetence masquerading as thuggery, no real malice there i don't think

i too would prefer us to be playing properly, as ever though arsenal midfield / manager / supporters showing that they don't like it up em

v much enjoyed flying delph there

Ref is an idiot cheat cunt, booking luna there is incredible.

when did villa turn into these lumpen thugs
