What the heck is Ben Sheppard doing on my telly! When did that happen?

[brian_gallagher85]

Football has swapped him for Chiles....I think we got the better deal, but he's still no Keys.

City have been woeful, SWP and Richards won't be in the starting line up much this season on todays evidence.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Ahh I love it when the football season starts.

I'm sat here with some tiger bread baps, a packet of beefy crisps and some broccoli quiche and enjoying a good game of football.

Come 4.45pm I'll probably be saying how rubbish football is if we don't get the result we want, so i might as well enjoy the build up

Beef crisps and broccoli quiche! Hope your spending the night on your own mate and if not, open a window or two!

You're sure pushing the boat put mate! Where's your beer? You may need it when Rovers kick off ;-)

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Watching Rovers requires something a lot more stronger than a beer....more like a bottle of brandy

Blackpool 3-0 up at H/T against Wigan

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Currently top of the league too!

[T4E]

4-0 Blackpool.

[BuckyRover]

I wonder if we will win 4-0 this season

[Gus Gus]

I wonder if we will win 4-0 this season

maybe in one of the cups if we draw a League 2 side.

[Majiball]

I cannot believe Blackpool are top of the league.

Hol's must have been inspiring yet again with one of his badger chats.

[Mc Love]

No surprise that Blackpool are top!

[Plastic Head]

According to the BBC Blackpool only had 1 shot on target???

[Amo]

Incredible stuff by Blackpool. They could very well be the rare bright spot of this season. Wigan resume their reputation as the PL whipping boys, but will no doubt slay the Big Four this season.

Can't wait to hear his after match chinwag.

Didn't last long.

Chelsea 5-0 up

[Amo]

It'll be curious to see what the MOTD boys have to say about their buddy Martin O'Neil. No doubt they'll be gushing with praise for him and his 'untenable' situation at Villa. Let's be realistic here, Villa spent significantly more than Tottenham & Everton (in fees and wages) and yet both of them have broke into the Top Four, whereas Villa never advanced above 6th. The players are apparently not reeling from his exit, with talk of celebratory txt messages and today's romping display against West Ham.

Got in at half time of the Chelsea game so I can say I have seen a live Premier League table with Blackpool top of it!

Other than the clubs which have sold out their STs, I'd say PL attendances are down 5% or so today. 25,800 or so at Ewood is a bit disappointing- I guess home support 2,000ish down.

Maybe not 2000 down.

Think there was around 21000 home fans on today, last season against City there was a crowd of 29000 with 7000+ away fans- so 22000ish home fans?

My mate Chris Bascombe of the News of the World has a big Liverpool exclusive in morning.

Anyone know what this tweet is about?

Hopefully they are going into administration

[brian_gallagher85]

I'd imagine they're going to confirm that Liverpool haven't decided on a buyer yet

[philipl]

Yah boo sucks at Nicko?

Seriously, it is probably either a buyer- Huang- coming good (which looked very unlikely two days ago but perhaps deliberately misleading information was coming out) or perhaps more likely Hicks and Gillett cutting their losses and handing the keys to the banks. That is not an administration by the way. Liverpool can pay their bills but the banks in the last refinancing put Hicks and Gillett into a sell it or lose it position.

Certainly some gaps in the corners of the Jack Walker and the Blackburn End.

Well, they released a very official statement yesterday saying there had been no buyer and they were biding their time and waiting for the right move. As Philipl says it must be too soon for a change in that stance.

It's probably something to do with finance but not as bad as administration..
