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

fuck sape

this conversation is clearly banter.

rake is rake
no it's not

(ken c)

!

What is O'Neill's tribunal case against Villa about? I've never seen suggestion of anything other than him walking, does this mean he's saying he was sacked?

Looks like he's claiming constructive dismissal.

"This is one of the things the game's true lovers admire about Scholes: he thinks all that side of football is, well, bullshit. He will not be looking for a newspaper deal to make a few quid. We can forget about him popping up in the television studio every Saturday afternoon with Jeff and Phil and the others. Heck, he does not even have an agent."

OKAY WE GET IT...jesus christ

perhaps modern football is just too ugly a game for a humble old man like sir paul scholes

they don't make them like scholes anymore let me tell you. no sir!

The quote is slightly undermined by the imminent publication of Paul Scholes: My Story, as detailed two paras later.

God, he looks like he's on a hen night.

"Gary Neville was having a piss one day, 45 yards away, by a fence," Ferguson remembers. "Scholes whacked him right in the arse."

Scholes's routine was always refreshingly old-school: "Train in the morning, pick up my children from school, play with them, have tea, put them to bed and then watch a bit of TV. Phone Liam Gallagher. His number doesn't work for some reason. What's that odd humming noise. Were that the fridge?

we need that thread

Scholes's routine was always refreshingly old-school: "Train in the morning, pick up my children from school, play with them, have tea, put them to bed and then watch a bit of TV. Brutally hack several other footballers down with both feet. Play an extended game of chess with former Oasis man Bonehead. Text Phil McNulty. Crisps were.

badly badly need interior life of paul scholes

I wonder if he's rich? It'd be quite something if it turned out the 'not interested in all the trappings' line was true and Ferguson had had him on minimum wage all these years.

I think you're secretly Scholes's biggest fan Local Garda

haha i don't blame him for those articles really...daniel taylor wrote the last one as well, about a month ago!

his wages are in or around the 80k and he's always been p much around the high earners of the day at the club

apart from his tackling, scholes is p much irreproachable, prob my favourite english player

Wilshere is kinda like the new Scholes but without the goal threat. He's got the tackling part down though.

Quite like the latter-day Paul Scholes where he just sits in front of the centre-circle spraying amazing diagonal passes like a pint-sized Thudd. Probably still more mobile than Thudd even at 37.

prob can't sustain an entire thread, calling all cars for support: The Interior Life of Paul Scholes

if we build it they will come

shit thread idea tbf

hahaha

wont be able to contribute from work ie on phone, but give the headsup to the noel gallagher authors from ilm and it should be a runner

lol

Is it correct that both Nasri and Clichy have only one year left on their contracts?

ooh

It's right about Nasri, been stalling on a new one apparently.

Hopefully the player we had for the first half of the season we can keep and we'll sell the one we had for the second half.

Tell you what James, you can have Joe Cole for him, swappsies.

Joe Cole's imminent West Brom career is going to be a surprising success I reckon.

fulham to replace duff's departure to try one more time at a big club

Duff to liverpool would be a decent move maybe?

Back up the thread a bit, but can you guess who had the highest pass completion % in the Prem (min. 450 or 500 attempts, I forget which) through last week's games?

palacios

lol

Lucas

You're both certainly on the right track, wrong club though.

de jong

It were Denilson.

at any club besides arsenal, it's an indicator of performance.

At arsenal, it's just the sign of another midfielder that doesn't dribble, cross or shoot

Ha - darragh you should have a guess at who was 2nd (and the only other player above 90%).

Carrick posts excellent pass completion rates on the reg.

hey boxall who were you before btw, or are you new blood, or are you old blood that i should recognise, or ?

I'm new, though I've lurked. Let me know if I should post less.

Consensus seems to be that Carrick's had a decent season, right? I mean, he was pretty woeful last season but seems to have regained something.

not at all

xp when we want you to post less you'll find out in the usbual way
