i was disappointed, the first few frames looked like it was heading into the near post, but imo he wouldn't have tried to hit it over the keeper from there, i'm saying a wild cunt that came off this time.

Very nasty airborne leading elbow from Mikel in revenge for an over-the-ball a few minutes earlier. Tiote out cold by the looks, fell heavily on his tailbone.

I've decided he meant it cos of how he kinda jogs to the right after hitting it, suggesting he's prepared to sprint into the area diagonally if Cech tips it out or it comes back off the bar

pure analysis no projection involved

redknapp dropping truth bombs

"There are lots of lads cleverer than me managing lower-division clubs," he reasoned. "I'm lucky. I get very well-paid. I've got a fantastic job. I don't think anyone owes me anything."

"I might be an idiotic, patriotic Englishman and I went to the World Cup thinking we would win it and I think we have got a real chance in the Euros," he said.

What do people mean when they ask/wonder if "he meant it"?

Like, how much of any goal can/does any player ever consciously "mean"?

I.E. astounding goal, so who cares.

― Upt0eleven, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 23:11 (1 year ago) Permalink

they mean was he trying to score or trying to cross/ something else

― mizzell, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 23:14 (1 year ago) Permalink

Doesn't seem to me like that's most of the debate happening here.

Of course he fucking meant to shoot. Everything beyond that is impossible to know, probably even for the player himself.

top left or top right corner I think is the coin-flippin' conundrum here but broadly speaking I agree w/ you

1508 more posts and this overtakes last year's thread as the longest thread ever. With Spurs on a knife-edge, I know we can do this.

I think it makes for great TV, the second goal, but the first is the more conventionally impressive.

would have been a perfect game but for a passed ball as well.

nah, too busy drafting his statement stepping back from the Barca post. (After a two week process, it will turn out to be "I'm flattered, but unavailable.)

"Shearer, who will be part of the BBC's Euro 2012 coverage."

Guardian killing their own story in seven paragraphs. Unless they're banking on a first round knockout and Shearer being available in the studio for the business end of the tournament. Football's answer to Steve Davis.

Shearer 'flattered' by talk of England.
London Evening Standard
23 Jun 2006
Byline: KEN DYER

ALAN SHEARER is set to become Steve McClaren's assistant in England's new coaching regime after the World Cup.

― Ismael Klata, Friday, 4 May 2012 11:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

Alan Shearer, flattered by recent reports linking him with the vacant England manager job, has let it be known that his head is being turned by the prospect of becoming a manager. In Newcastle code this means if he was given £50m in the January transfer window he’d fancy his chances of leading the club down the black and white brick road back to the Geordie glory days again.

― Keith pissed on my chips (onimo), Friday, 4 May 2012 11:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

In that Guardian piece he doesn't actually say anything about becoming an England coach.

― the pinefox, Friday, 4 May 2012 11:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

Alan Shearer tonight ruled himself out of the race to succeed Mark Hughes as Blackburn Rovers boss.
The 37-year-old former England captain had emerged as one of the favourites among fans of his former club in recent days, but after speaking to chief executive John Williams, ‘politely declined’ the offer of a place on the shortlist.
Asked about the situation in his role as a BBC pundit during the Euro 2008 clash between Switzerland and Turkey, Shearer said: ‘The situation was, and is, that I was very flattered to have got a call from chief the executive, John Williams, at Blackburn.
‘He asked me if I would like to be included on a shortlist for the manager's job, which I politely declined because of the commitments that I have, namely this one.
‘I was very flattered to have been asked and I thank him for that.

I wonder if he has any managerial ability?

							G	W	D	L	Win %

I think only Terry Connor has a worse win percentage (0.00%) in Premier League history.

Actually that's probably not true, Derby only won one or two games in their last relegation season.

― Keith pissed on my chips (onimo), Friday, 4 May 2012 11:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

One game, they won. But Paul Jewell was the manager, and had led Wigan to ten wins in 2006/07.

― Ismael Klata, Friday, 4 May 2012 11:49 (1 year ago) Permalink

He kept Bradford up in 2000 as well; I can't remember whether Shearer managed that with Newcastle but I'm sure he must've if he's being linked with England.

I'm disappointed that the BBC are basing their Euros coverage in Salford. After the stunning success of 'Shearer explains apartheid' I was looking forward to him cutting though the misinformation and getting to the truth about Tymoshenko.

Alex McLeish has vowed to keep a low profile and remain in his dugout in the hope that it will encourage Villa fans to focus on the team rather than on him.
