Re: Photos: Arsenal Triumph Over Hamburg at Emirates

Llewellyn — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 02:45:00 -0000

Brilliant photos!!!

I can only imagine what the atmosphere would be like being around the grounds and stadiums especially the Emirates Stadium during a CL match.

It's one of my goals to go see at match at the Emirates and watch the Gunners. It'll happen one day.

Re: 2007/2008 Premier League Shirts/Jerseys/Kits

Llewellyn — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:13:00 -0000

Interesting! I will be looking forward to see what the new kit designs will look like for next season. Being an Arsenal fan, I am definitely looking forward to the new away shirts.
As I was looking at the site on Arsenal.com shop page, they mentioned that the lettering and numbering will chance for all premiership teams.

Anyone have any idea what they will look like?

Hello Gaffer,

I've been trying to find them on the web with no success. If you by any chance do come across it again, would you mind posting a link or the photos of them?

Looks as if I will be spending more money for next seasons kits.

Cheers,

Llewellyn

Re: EPL Fans May Lose Saturday Afternoon Match

Llewellyn — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 19:18:00 -0000

I myself would rather prefer the tape delayed EPL match rather than the Serie A matches.
I just don't receive the same amount of excitement and satisfaction from any other league other than England and Spain. I suppose its a way to gain more viewers on FSC by broadening their horizons by showing other leagues on the channel other than MLS and EPL.

I would rather prefer La Liga over Serie A if it were possible.

Re: Best Chance Ever for an English Club to Win Champions League

Llewellyn — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 19:28:00 -0000

As commented on by WSD... stronger clubs in the Champions League will perform better when they are faced with better competition on a domestic league level. When you have clubs like Lyon and Inter... they dominate their own respective league with little to no competition to vie for the title.

It really is no surprise when team like Barcelona lose to a club like Liverpool who face clubs like Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea.

Case in point... 3 Prem clubs still in the running for the CL.

Gaffer...
As for your picks for the draws..

I couldn't pick it better myself.

The draws you picked out seem to be the best case scenario... competition, drama... what more can you ask for?

Re: EPL Talk’s Visit to Fulham’s Craven Cottage

Llewellyn — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 03:43:00 -0000

hey Gaffer.. the pictures you have put up on your visit to various stadiums are great and you give an excellent description and detail of what the atmosphere is like. I wish one day I can be that fortunate enough to visit London and catch a match at the Emirates. Keep up the good work! Enjoying every interview and show you do!

Re: Chelsea Eyeing Guus Hiddink & Two Coaches

Llewellyn — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 21:58:00 -0000

I really don't understand the logic of throwing away Jose Mourinho if he is still doing an exceptional job at Stamford Bridge. Granted I am not a Chelsea supporter, he still has Chelsea in the hunt for the League title as well as the Champions League.
Unless he really does leave at the end of the season for Real Madrid.

But seriously, the players respond to him! So why make the changes is nothing is really broken?

Re: ABC’s World Cup TV Coverage Nominated for an Emmy

Llewellyn — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 22:02:00 -0000

What an utter joke!
The only thing ABC/ESPN did right was actually showing the games.

Commentary and analysis is just shocking!

Then again... who are they up against as far as coverage for the world cup? absolutely no one! Put them up against other international networks that covered the world cup.

Re: Lettering for 07/08 Premiership Shirts Unveiled

Llewellyn — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:47:00 -0000

The design is ok. I guess I just like the classic look of the Premier League's current number and letter designs.
But either way... I'll be buying a kit with the new designs for next season.

Re: EPL Talk Vodcast Features GolTV and Ray Hudson

Awesome interview Gaffer!
Surprised to see the podcast as a video cast when I downloaded the episode. Awesome stuff!

Re: Everton’s New 07/08 Home Shirt Revealed

Llewellyn — Wed, 02 May 2007 23:12:00 -0000

not much of an Everton fan but it is a nice looking shirt!
Umbro really does make some very nice shirts!

Re: Arsenal’s Away Shirt for the 07/08 Season

Llewellyn — Thu, 03 May 2007 13:37:00 -0000

At least Nike puts the variations on the football kits compared to the NCAA basketball unis.

Those uniforms all have the same patterns with different colors for the school. Plain cookie cutter designs!

Re: New Everton 07/08 Home Shirt Revealed

Llewellyn — Thu, 03 May 2007 13:38:00 -0000

not bad for a final product.
Not a big fan of the stripe trimming but not a bad shirt overall.

Re: New Lettering and Numbering Style for EPL Shirts

Llewellyn — Sat, 05 May 2007 07:08:00 -0000

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Hopefully its the finished product. But definitely not bad at all.

Re: Still Lots to Play For in the English Premier League

Llewellyn — Mon, 07 May 2007 01:14:00 -0000

Wow! you brought out Europe's Final Countdown poster!!! Hysterical!!!

But on a serious note it is defeinitely interesting to see the dramatic end of the relegation battle. Cant wait! Hopefully West Ham stays up!

Re: New York Times Journey to Emirates Stadium

Llewellyn — Fri, 18 May 2007 02:20:00 -0000

That was just simply awesome! That is my one goal in life before I die is to take a trip to London to watch the Gunners at the Emirates and hopefully sooner than alter and catch Thierry Henry before his playing days are over.

Re: It’s Official: Arsenal 07/08 Away Shirt is White

Llewellyn — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 00:53:00 -0000

Not bad! Definitely a different direction. I think it could be alot worse. I'm a big fan of the red currant colorway.

Re: Argentina 4-1 United States: The Harsh Reality

Llewellyn — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 20:10:00 -0000

To the people behind US Soccer's selection committee... Hope you're happy with yourselves!
Play the A-squad in the "two-team" Gold Cup (US & Mexico)... and play a B-Squad against the toughest nations in the Americas!

Way to go guys! Not only are you guys chickenshit about having the A-squad possibly losing to the likes of Argentina, Columbia, Mexico & Brazil by playing on a ground outside the US but you also insulted the tournament by bringing in a shit squad while the other nations value the Copa by bringing their best available.

I understand if the likes of Dempsey, Bocanegra, Beasely, Howard and any other European club players were obligated not to play but players like Landon Donovan, an MLS player asked by Bob Bradley to participate and lead USA in the Copa America pussied out to save what's left his shit club in a shit league!

Grow some hair on your balls Landycakes and take some pride in your national squad! You wanna be the best, play the best you pussy!

Bob was right to strip you of the captaincy you whiny little bitch!

Re: No Hatton Fight on TV for Liverpool Players

You're right Gaffer! No way any of the players are gonna miss this match! I know I'm not!

Re: More Entertaining Off The Pitch Than On It

Llewellyn — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:13:58 -0000

Newcastle United! With all the speculation of turmoil with the club/players and firing Big Sam to Joey Barton's legal problems and the hiring of Kevin Keegan (maybe Shearer is on the way despite being #2)... Newcastle's action off the pitch is far more entertaining than it is on it... Where is Santiago Munez & Gavin Harris when you need them (ok.. bad Goal! joke)

Re: A Weekend to Forget? Not So Fast, My Friend

Llewellyn — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 01:45:06 -0000

Well, whatever the outlook is for this weekends matches, it goes without saying.. anything can happen! I'm really interested in seeing how my Gunners do without their African players. I know they are stacked with talent on the bench to fill in but it will be interesting how long it will go to stay in the title race. It is without a doubt a blow to lose them for the next couple of weeks.

Re: Fox Soccer Channel Announces Venues for Viewing Parties

Llewellyn — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 01:46:41 -0000

Sounds interesting, I should check out Nevada Smith's in Manhattan. I've heard all about them but never got the opportunity to go.

Re: FA Cup 5th Round Recap

Llewellyn — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 02:46:16 -0000

The possibility of watching two lower level clubs outside the premiership battling for the FA Cup would be epic! Unlikely... but epic!

Prayers go out to you and your family for quick and speedy return!
Great to see you posting again!
Get well soon Gaffer!

Re: New 08/09 Chelsea Shirt Revealed

Llewellyn — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:48:34 -0000

The home shirt doesn't look half bad... for a Chelsea shirt! I am very interested in seeing what the Arsenal shirt will look like for next season.

Re: New 08/09 Man United Away Shirt Revealed

Llewellyn — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:21:49 -0000

Red + White + Blue= Manchester United States of America....
Not a United fan... but the black shirts are alot better than this!
