When people say it isn't on telly, do they just mean the normal channels like Setanta, Sky Sports, etc? Like, all United games are on MUTV, right?

Yeah, but Sinnotts is to be avoided.

They treat United fans like dirt.

Possibly. Anytime I've been there it's been fine, but then I don't watch many games in the pub so my sample size is pretty small.

In either event I'm not recommending it, just pointing out that it's on.

I've a game myself tonight and if it's cancelled I'll be hitting the gym anyway to won't be wathcing the united game live.

Have to get in shape for next season after all

Yeah United fans don't watch games in Sinnots anymore, well ones who post on boards or IRD, it's thanks to Homerjay actually.

Not really a personal story although I think HJ has one but they also treated United games and fans with contempt so f*ck em.

I was in Sinnotts a couple of times with him

We've been kicked out of there at least twice by the cúnts, after matches.

Anyone heading to the woolshed fancy PMing their number to me, I've nobody else to go with.

And now that I've told herself that I might be going out to watch football, she's refusing to cook me dinner. :rolleyes:

Tis actually on 15 channels tonight, all available in Ireland to the people with the right equipment and subscriptions.

When people say it's not on telly, they mean Sky or Setanta/ESPN.

Pubs around the country usually get a 12 month sub from another supplier, which is legal in Ireland but not England.

Anyone know anywhere on the southside of Dublin that may be showing this? I'm far to lazy to go to town.

that "might" just get you out of the whole sisters friends comment.

MIGHT mind you

Anyway United should win this comfortably tonight with Rooney scoring 2 in the first half and A N other picking up a 3rd in the second half. All that being said, if Burnley can hold firm for the first 20/25 minutes or so it could be a very uncomfortable night.

I think we may have broken this thread...

Anyway.

Be interesting to see how Burnley line up tonight. Hope Blake plays, not seen him regularly since his Bradford City days.

Was there a press conference today from Fergie?

Y'day, here it is:

Sir Alex wary of Turf war

Sir Alex Ferguson has warned that his players may need every ounce of their experience to see through Burnley's 'red-hot' return to top flight football at Turf Moor tonight.

The United boss says it will be a "flag day" for the newly-promoted Clarets, playing their first match at home in English football's top division for 33 years.

"It can be hard going to a promoted team's ground early on," says Sir Alex. "You can imagine what the atmosphere is going to be like at Burnley, it's going to be red-hot.

"It'll be a flag day, it's going to be a big occasion for them. But hopefully that's where our experience helps in these situations."

Sir Alex will not want to add to the fairytale, but admits he's watched events unfold for Owen Coyle and his men with great interest.

"Burnley is a fantastic story," he added. "They've been outside the top league for 33 years, it's a long time. No matter what happens this season, they won't forget this. It'll be a great experience.

"I watched them last season, I saw them against Arsenal and they were fantastic. They played really well."

But after seeing off fellow Barclays Premier League new arrivals Birmingham City at the weekend, the United boss wants the same again at Turf Moor.

"Over the years we've played promoted teams early on in the season, and this year's no different with Birmingham and then Burnley. It'd be nice to get off to get a good start. We didn't do that well early on, so we need to change that this time around."

I actually think this is going to be a right tough game. Burnley having their first home game in the Premiership, in front of an avid crowd. And we never start a season firing on all cylinders anyways. Last year we only had 8 points from 5 games.

CR 7

All the signs are ominous, only pointing to one thing.

It's been 33 years since Burnley were in the Premier League.
Chris Eagles wears the number 33.
Their first home game is against Man. Utd.


This can only mean one of two things; Eagles will score in the 33rd minute, or he'll score 33 goals. It's fate.
