Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

torres did look good imo. was he being booed at the start? do people just hate him now cos he's such a cranky child?

why would torres be unpopular?

cranky child

Torres also executed one of the most spectacularly lame dives i've ever seen. Hopefully there'll be a gif of it at some point

he just can't do anything right atm

Rafael dislocated his shoulder in training, is the reason Smalling's playing at right back. He was good there in the Charity Shield, as Darragh said

Good goal by United's new young striker with a full head of hair

To Graeme Souness's assertion that Roman Abramovich had indulged in "an enormous gamble" in triggering his £13.2 million (Dh78.3m) buyout there, he cheerily compares results.

"Souness made comments about it being easy to win at Porto," says Villas-Boas. "It was easy to win at Liverpool in the '90s and the '80s, wasn't it? But he was five years there and didn't win anything."

BOOM! Souness pwned.

not to defend souness but get yer facts right andre

The former Liverpool and Sampdoria enforcer will be having none of it. 'I'd like to see him say that on the pitch. Except he never actually played football did he?' Souness will have said to himself.

The BBC's 'I went down easy, admits Barton' is a bit of a forehead slapper, particularly given their craven refusal to discuss the bombs Barton dropped on Shearer's Island shortly after

Shearer's Island: The erudite and charming ex-England man holds a football camp for soldiers who have recently returned from Afghanistan on a small Pacific Island. Each week one of "our boys" is voted off by the public as Alan puts them through their paces with a series of football related tasks. The group will also spend time with locals and learn about the island's unique indigenous culture. Coming soon to Channel 5.

Dodgy keeper

Baggies keeping our 2nd place hopes alive

Gotta say offloading Gomes on United was a stroke of genius from Harry.

Might have to rethink having Rooney in my fantasy team. Feels too wrong to be happy when he scores. Leaves me feeling dirty tbh
Well done Ireland's Shane Long.

Great half.

Thought United looked very good (apart from Taibi)

There's no point condemning De Gea at this stage, but it's certainly gonna make things interesting this season.

it's not condemning him to say he's been pure shit so far, tbf. It's just accurate feedback

For us it is, but if one of his teammates starts tweeting the same accurate feedback or w/e, that would probably not be helpful for the development of a 20-year-old keeper.

Wilshere took indirect shots at Arshavin & Gervinho yesterday over said medium, it was dispiriting. Misspelled the latter's name twice as well.

Seems reasonable for people who don't like Man Utd to want to contribute to a pressure cooker atmosphere around their goalkeeper which may result in him going mental and throwing a load of goals in over the course of the season

only reasonable if necessary

Anderson was great for 20 minutes, then went on a 40-yard-sprint past three or four players around 21' (leading I think to Nani shooting over), and I don't think he's caught his breath yet.

Vidic and Ferdinand both crocked already

Ferdinand injured? You surprise me.

Hurrah!

United's Mr Reliable strikes again.

I thought luck was a lady

og in a return to form!

If he can recapture his 09-10 form Utd will walk this.

Maddening refusal by De Gea to take advantage of Foster being out of his net. Could have totally redeemed himself

"Sort it out slaphead" - please sign Joey Barton Harry!

Did we get any money for him?

Hollywood DNA?

For balance and to ensure it's not overlooked, Fat Frank is a diving shit btw

Lampard was a bit more subtle than Torres but yeah, agreed.

WOODGATE???

maybe it's because I can't remember his playing style and am judging only on continental hairstyle, but Woodgate seems a bit classy for Stoke's provincial pub brawler shtick.

that or there aren't enough azn ppl in stoke for him to attack

woodgate's the archetype classy centre half, yeah

Did he really have to move from boro because CONTROVERSIAL MODERATOR EDIT

woah woah, wait a second. seriously, what was the deal with that sagnarooney hybrid pic cos it's freaking me out??

cudiccini to celtic rumour on the go. seems improbable imo.

cudicini even
