NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

blow to his prospects, that

Stuey!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/dec/21/readers-premier-league-team-season-so-far

Rest of that Blackburn team must be shite for Paul Robinson to be considered their best player.

Peter Odemwingie is being unjustly overlooked here.

robinson been ok this year tbf

Losing 2-1 to Everton was not an experience that will prove terminal for Man City's chances of presenting themselves as serious title challengers, but it was certainly a deflating one

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

'certainly'? What's got into him - shouldn't it be 'arguably'?

safe pair of hands

Leighton Baines has a music blog
http://www.evertonfc.com/news/my-first-music-blog
Top five artists:
Bob Dylan
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
Arctic Monkeys
Paul Weller

SB'd him for that

Will send an anonymous tip to the RIAA to see if we can get the club's site shut down.

So whatever stuff you like that you think I may be interested in, please let me know. And I will give it a listen.

Gonna try and turn him on to Nurse With Wound.

ah man

together we can destroy baines

go on, somebody run it as an ILM poll

Music is probably my main hobby really. Growing up my parents would have tapes on in the car like Phil Collins, REM, Deacon Blue and that sort of stuff. As an early teenager I remember I started to get into Oasis, Travis, Cast, Space etc. But a few years later I got into all sorts! I remember I even used to go into my sister’s room and listen to her Spice Girls album!! Then I got into hip-hop - 50 Cent and all that!

I was into Dizzy Rascal’s first album, so started to listen to stuff along that UK garage vibe. But the stuff he puts out now seems so far detached from that! Like I said, I think I just follow whatever my ear likes!

This is going to be so great.

HOW WOULD IT BE DIFFERENT TO 6000 OTHER FECKING ILM POLLS?

baines/autechre interface gonna prove fruitful

You're doing it wrong. Needs to be getting into something ultra-gay like Man 2 Man vs Man Parrish or DJ Sprinkles or something.

lol was gonna say DJ Sprinkles.

"This week, Leighton has mostly been listening to the Great American Songbook"

gtfo the footy thread the lot of you

i used to like music, then i discovered 'l love music'

Comments thread is a gem, it's like 50% Everton fans going "hey Bainesy check out Mumford & Sons" and 50% people pimping their mate's band.

dammit too poorly to be arsed to make a login

I had someone tell me about a track that starts as a bit of a hip club banger that's going to get everyone moving, then after a couple of minutes in comes the chant of STAMP YOUR FEET IF YOU LIKE DICK. Let's suggest that.

Couldn't resist...

XD

gonna get Bainesy complaining about the syncopation in the rhythms of his team's passing this time next year.

Worth checking out Roy Hodgson's earlier interview with ESPN if you can find it for such pearls of wisdom as "win games good, lose games bad - team spirit is Animal Farmesque in its simplicity."

I'm not sure whether Roy's refusal to play the game has become something to cherish or not

"If we find the right players, I'm not going to be saying to them, 'don't do it,'. I'm not that stupid."

just got around to seeing highlights of City v Everton and Howard's saves 1v1 with Balotelli -- <3 Timmy

do we have a thread abt tactics?

http://leftbackinthechangingroom.blogspot.com/2010/12/end-of-positions-defence.html is otm, although on a much smaller scale than THE END OF POSITIONS. big teams that buy the fittest, most technically proficient are already starting to exploit this (vermaelan, pique, agger back when liverpool were liverpool all spring to mind)

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has claimed Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is the only player in the world who is better than him.

Has Messi heard of Balotelli?

messi, howard, distin, in reverse order

Will be seeking a divorce in 2K11 so I can propose to Balotelli.

have we discussed these btw?

saw one in Smith's today and hurt my back and my lungs from laughing

pretty sure that was from age & laughing, to be accurate

the juxtaposition of cartoon and irl theo is pretty lol

this isn't helping the general, perhaps unfair impression that theo was invented by the marketing dept of robinsons orange squash

I've had some kind of flu all week but still

his cup runneth over with family friendly endorsement opportunities

I was looking at the small print to see whether he wrote them himself or not, what with being an articulate fella and all, but the vibe I get is no.

Apart from TJ we probly should speculate libelously as to who the other characters are based on.

And who are those in behind him on the cover? Lad at the back right has a proto-Fellaini thing going on

Rob = lol Wenger

hang on all the foreign lads look the same o_O

think it's gloria estefan and john terry

JAMIE

A big, strong defender. It’s almost impossible to get past him, but when he clears the ball it could go anywhere.

Terry otm

srsly

dont leave tulsi alone in the dressin room with whoever the dutch striker turns out to be
