Charles free from the right, straight in, caught everyone out, 1-0

All I can see on Setanta Ireland is beach volley ball? Setanta Sports 1, channel 434

Classic, Carr takes a throw-in, with the entire advertisement boards along the touchline behind him sayin 'Carrs Pasties, Boltons Favourite'

We're on Setanta Ireland, woo

Probably, shame, can't wait to see him play.

Couldn't help but notice also there was a spot of "one arm up" for a split second he can fook off with that shite!!!

he almost started grabbing the shirt, but some team mate grabbed him first!

chopra

TOP OF THE LEAGUE !! 1 1 !1 1 !! !!!11 1 11!!! makes me proud to be irish, ffs

He's always got on with it with minimal fuss, 100% commitment when asked to do a job at Chelsea. Now is his chance to shine, best of luck Ron

I'll believe it when I see a quote from Nobby himself

Arsenal are fantastic. That 49 unbeaten side played some breathtaking football. The way the game should be played. Pires, Ljungberg, Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp, amazing footballers. Wengers eye for a player is brilliant, I see this Da Silva lad doing big things for them. Agree about the ethnic diversity of their support, I've found that most of the Africans living over here now who follow football seem to be Arsenal fans!

We never start the season well so lets hope this is a change, I would imagine a 1-1 draw. Don't see Bolton doing much this season under little Sam. As for the line-up, hard to know really. 4-4-2 maybe, Harps, Carr, Rozehnal, Tayls, Zoggy/Ramage, Milner, Geremi, Butt/Smith, Nobby, Viduka, Martins/Smith.

His reaction to the offside goal was priceless. 3 or 4 times you could see him shout 'FUCK OFF' at the linesman

Wouldn't go predicting what position we will finish, this season its too fascinating, any team from 5th or 6th, all the way to 14th, could finish anywhere.

Also from an Irish point of view, we can't afford to lose him for the September games, if it turns out serious.

I would imagine it will be a couple of weeks before we see Cacapa, he's not fit yet, not overly worried though, Tayls might have his faults but he's certainly not a name I would fret at seeing in the starting line up. Agree Oba was poor today, usual poor touch, but maybe it was to do with being shifted out to the right. As for Beresford on commentary - NO THANKS!

Smith, Geremi and Rozehnal all very impressive. Looking good!

Greedy little shit

If he was English he'd be costing about £9million!

Well the movie is supposedly '17 years in the making' so heres hoping. Went to the advance preview last night but it was sold out:( I'm really looking forward to it, hopefully it will be near or even of the standard of the shows from season 1-9. Everything after that has been seriously downhill, I don't even bother watching new ones now, thankfully on RTÉ they've gone back to showing older ones, currently on season 8, pure quality!!

Harps playing outfield, ultimate pisstake for those big time wannabe's. Stay in Scotland, cnuts!

WTF, are we jinxed or what!!

Curtis Davis?

Don't see the whole worry about artificial pitches myself. My local team plays League of Ireland football on a FIFA 2 Star pitch that cost €600k to install. I've played on it, its odd at first but after a while you hardly notice the difference. The odd dodgy bounce thats about it. The pitch hasn't caused any serious injuries. If people say it causes or relapses knee or ankle or whatever sort of injuries, then why would FIFA endorse these pitches in the first place?
