It is the free to play one, just the mobile app you have to pay for.

Yeah, just read it myself and came to post it.
Interesting turn of events, not sure if this is good or bad.

There are 2 versions.

Player version = These are the super tight, nipple tops that the players wear.

Fan Version = These are the ones that you'd get in lifestyle sports. They are a normal fit.

Any shops selling the player fit?

Hopefully they'll be in shock and start defending like they used to before he joined!

Palace should be good for a hammering on Saturday after Pulis leaving.

Yeah great atmosphere! I'll be in for the Champions League game, can't make it in Saturday unfortunately :-(

wandatowell

Wasn't looking forward to facing a Tony Pulis inspired Crystal Palace. Him getting the chop can only be a good thing.

Usually when teams change manager is because the team is losing, CP on the other hand were flying it since Pulis arrived and will be shell shocked

Pudders

First time trying to post a photo so....

But the background, during the summer addidas painted a load of buses normally red black. On them were Gerard, Messi, Ramos (I think) and Ozil. Logo Hunt or be hunted and All in or nothing.

I loved seeing the Ozil bus. And when Germany won the world cup they crossed out the nothing and put the 4 stars. It is still great to see. And better to think Ozil is ours.

Bring on Saturday. Anyone fancy a beer per or post match, pm me!

Hope the photo works!

I kept on meaning to get a photo and post it on here as wasn't sure if people would have known about it. The 38 goes through Angel to the west end. They painted 32 buses, 1 for each country but only had the 4 players. I loved seeing it. I got the photo tonight in Picadilly and then jumped on board home to angel!

Pulis leaves #CPFC by mutual consent immediate effect. Millen caretaker for Sat, assisted by Francis & Kemp, who are set to leave after #AFC

gnfnrhead

Good news for us. Almost no time for them to prepare with the new caretaker. Before this I'd have taken any win, but now I will be disappointed if we dont win by a few.

Did I hear correctly that Sky is showing the game free to air on Sat?

Will it be free on UPC and Eircom? Or is it just the sky box?

Free to air or free for sky viewers?

king Henry 14

Arsenal to win 5-0 on Saturday is 25/1 in paddy powers. With our fire power and palace having lost there manager I can see us walloping them. Think ill throw a tenner on it and have a great weekend when it comes in.:D

I don't know, just heard it somewhere and I can't remember. I've a Humax box, so hopefully it will come in. I don't have a Sky box or Sky CAM.

ronjo

I had a dream a few weeks ago we lost the first game of season 3-2 to a last touch of the game goal.

Just thought I would p*ss you all off with that.

Seems like a few of the football 365 writers ha e tipped us for the league!!

Sky sports is free for 24hrs from 6 am tomorrow meaning the arsenal game can be watched. It is free to sky and upc customers.

I just hope Wenger sends them out on a "kill" mission.

Have to take advantage of these moments. GD could mean a lot in the end this season.

You sure it's free for upc customer's too? Could've sworn it was everyone bar UPC customers.

cathalio11

It's free for UPC customers too.

This is their Facebook page where the most recent post from UPC is their promoting of Sky Sports being free for all UPC customers on the 16th of August. Delighted with that!

Im bloody dying for the Premiership lads!

ugsparky

I don't usually do this but ... a tip off from a friend in LDN who has been accurate in the past (Ozil, Van Persie, Cesc & Nasri ...

Manolas or Schar replacing Vermaelen

Khedira (after Besiktas result, we would have had Sneiderlin signed except Liverpool have cleaned Southampton out - but we still could sign him at the end of the window if Khedira decides to play "wages roulette" - our three German players have collectively asked Arsene to bring in Khedira if available from Real)

... and the last one ... an 11th hour big money offer for Reus with Gnarbry and Coquelin going the other way.

... only passing on what a friend who has been accurate in the past has told me. He attends a lot of corporate bashes in LDN and is on very good terms with a Premiership player who supports Arsenal but plays for another club ... his agent is on good terms with other agents (seems like it's a pigs snouts in the one trough thing) so he hears the rumours through this source ...

If it's true or only 2/3rds true I'll be like a dog with two mickeys

Szczesny

Debuchy - Chambers - Kosc - Gibbs

Arteta

Ramsey - Wilshire

Sanchez Cazorla

Giroud

Fairly unanimous.

I think it really picks itself with the Germans out.

Mickeroo

Still an outside chance Sanogo will start but I reckon Giroud will get the nod. If they decide not risk Kosc then it will be Monreal in the centre.

CatInABox

Just read what Wolfsburg said when they announced Bendtner:

‘We dared to touch the top shelf of players,’ Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking told Kicker.

‘It’s empty now though, so we need to look a bit further down.’

The metro seem to love ripping it out of him. They have a poll asking "What do you think of Nicklas Bendtner?" with the two answers being "Lord" and "Lord".

Thankfully he's not our problem now.
