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

fine strike from neville and another from bilyatdinov, but i dunno does a top goalie get a hand to each?

Hennessy's made two good saves already from headers tho, tbf

beckford having a bit of a go at moyes, braver man than i

seems about three difft things wrong with bowyers goal

I don't think anyone was stopping the Bilyaletdinov one. It would be nice if Everton could put together two good half-seasons in the same season. I guess they'd probably just go down with no points the year after.

well every team outside the top one bemoans consistency as the problem, right?

bizarre that just a week or so ago people thought moyes had taken everton as far as he could and he was on his way. i mean anything could happen in the summer i guess but all of a sudden they're not looking too bad.

can't blame Hennessey for any of the goals. Can blame some fucking awful defending for 2 of them. crushed by today tbh, really feel like we're fucked.

i think any criticism of moyes is insane, given the parameters there, but when they're in one of their regular troughs i suppose there's going to be whispers.

They'd be a good yo-yo team without him, which would be nice every second year for them i guess

Yeah well Everton have been having storming starts then terrible ends, or hopeless starts followed by a charge up the table, ever since they stopped being totally shit. Villa used to be like that in the nineties, winning calendar year titles all over the shop.

if wolves go down, and i don't think they will, they'll have deserved it less than any team i can remember

nice one WBA

someone will be able to tell me why huth's shove on crouch is not a penalty?

Jesus, i reiterate- spurs defending is just disgustingly feckless. Jogging back towards goal in danger situations.

cuz it was actually shawx?

someone will be able to tell me why huth's shove on crouch is not a penalty?

Was just about to post exactly that question.

that should have been a fourth too, that was ruled out for a kaboul foul.

Begovic looked sharp tho.

Some stunning goals this week - don't think Neville's is even top 5 tbh. Etherington, Modric, Sturridge, Bilyaletdinov, but most of all that beautiful, beautiful Scharner goal. Watching your side score that kind of goal must feel awesome.

Junior Hoilett top scorer in the Championship next season?

Alex McLeish needs to sort his hair out.

jones up there

Hodgson's WBA were so good, losing away from home, stroking it around like South Americans and winding up winning.

chris brunt should probably be up for pfa poty really, he's been at least as good as charlie adam if not better

not linked with a big club though so

Love Scharner's look in the postmatch interview. That goal gets better the more I see it, it's just about a goal of the season contender by now.

The fun never ends with lolmunia:

Manuel Almunia has been taken ill and Jens Lehmann will start the game at Blackpool

YES!

It means we're starting the second half with Eboue in goal.

Would def. prefer that to lolmunia. Or The Age Of James Shea or Damien Martinez Becoming A Pub Quiz Question could be with us shortly.

Win or bust for Arsenal today? Probably. Follow Blackpool vs the Gunners, then Aston Villa-Newcastle, right here: http://bbc.in/gdEjmM

^^^They have just all given up 'thinking' or 'making sense', no?

blackpool are killing it here, will really need to score soon tho to keep momentum

arsenal score w/ long ball - yad etisoppo si yadot

Of a weekend of sweet fucking goals, Eboue has added to them a corker from a 1-2 with Wilshere.

Still need this to be 0-4 before I stop sweating.

"Arsenal's fans loving the weather and the way this game is going."

^^^ arsenal fans never learn

xp

Eboue clearly fighting to stay at the club.

"the gap between 1st and 2nd is bigger than the gap between 9th and 20th"

daaaaaaaaaamn.

i know what he meant but a commentator will sound incredibly stupid saying that "2-0 is never a lead". Isn't it absolutely always not matter what... a lead?

Should have gone for "the most dangerous lead in football"

Seem to remember Diaby getting stupidly booked against Newcastle.

really hope adam to liverpool isn't a thing again this summer. number of times he needlessly looks for a killer ball is so silly. this is usually followed by the commentator pointing out that charlie adam of course rarely gives the ball away. well, he does. look at his chalkboards. they're shocking.

yeah, wouldn't want him either. Nor Lennon tbh.

Yeah, the £12m for Adam story still worries me more than the £35m for Carroll one.

We all know how this will end.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty reports from Bloomfield Road: "The sudden elevation of Jens Lehmann after an absence of almost three years in the Arsenal goal following Manuel Almunia's injury is now the major talking point of Arsene Wenger's team selection.

amazing.

Lehmann good old fashioned crazy still

can nult not tell that his insensate doggerel regularly fails to parse correctly, or is he just too lazy to bother rereading what he just typed

"And a nice little jig from an elated Arsene Wenger. Who can blame him as things were nervy for a while."

Both teams have scored at least one goal in every single game at Bloomfield Road this season.

So basically it comes down to getting over that last hump, beating Utd? We were never going to get over our Chelsea fear and then beat them, we were never going to get over our Barca fear and then beat them... Utd are gonna win the fucking league.
