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

Neville seems to be winning people over. Course i will always love him

the much hyped ross barkley gets his first everton start today too

As a pundit Neville's fine. Way better than anyone of the MOTD lot and Redknapp (faint praise). I did laugh at his attempt to interview Mancini post match on Monday tho.
Ronan OTM re Meireles. Enrique and Downing were great. Frimpong was v good. Arshavin a total waste.

one minute gone, cahill's kneed faurlin in the balls already

it was so apparent by the end of last season how Meireles needs to be played that only a complete clown wd choose to do otherwise

three minutes gone, series of bewildering long balls from keeper to keeper

there's no target men on the pitch lads ffs

how can redknapp go on about gerrard's return as if it's exciting? i'm the one on here constantly defending stevie g and obviously a liverpool fan but he has no fucking right to a place in this team unless he can start playing well for the first time in about two years.

wish they'd stop calling meireles "morales"

Wish I'd seen that.

Re. pronunciations - why the fuck is everyone pronouncing Jose Enrique with a Jose Mourinho 'J'?! He's Spanish not Portuguese!

can't see much of a 1st choice place for Gerrard in that team unless he can be arsed to offer a threat from wide. if he's fit and he cares (Euro 2012 might be key motivating factor here) he could have a role as an impact sub

The thought of him and Downing bombing on behind Suarez is exciting, but I still can't see how Carroll fits in that picture.

wd be cool with that tbh

If they hadn't paid so much bloody money for him Carroll could just be a bench option to change things up, but 35m means he has to start

tbf tbqfh tbrr that was a pretty terrible game

I thought it was pretty fascinating. Weird atmosphere, Arsenal looked completely deflated, comedy OG summed Arsenal up really. Stating the obv here but this is a massive week for them. Tempted to watch Udinese instead of Exeter on Wed.

radio commentators getting excited about the boy Barkley

35m means he has to start

this feels logically true but god what a horrible prospect

emilol heskey

barkley's been pretty anonymous, kept hold of possession just now to win a free kick (pinged off the crossbar by baines) but it was pretty rudimentary stuff

radio commentary is always so hype tho

GET IN HESKEY!!!!!!!!!!

nah carroll doesn't have to start imo. fuck it the money's gone, he's there, and he will have his moments too. they do need another inside fwd type imo tho...and a centre back still.

WAHHHHHHHHHEHEHEYEYEYEYEY

that was some proper shit defending from jagielka

How have Everton been?

Martin Atkinson is a massive cunt.

xp disappointing, very little enterprise about them besides flashes of barkley's sullenly retarded yoof

had us well under the cosh for the first ten minutes and then once we put together a couple of tentative sideways passes they started taking us hilariously seriously and clammmed up a bit

obviously a good set of players, just lacking a spark of creative leadership - need arteta badly

saying all that though we're still catching massive breaks that we didnt against bolton

oop cahill's missed a gaping sitter as i type

when did own goal go out on loan

oh ronan already made that joke on facebook

~embarassing~

Can we please retire "own goal" jokes?

ha

That Agbonlahor goal looked an absolute belter on my tiny mobile screen.

Re: Carroll - it's all very well talking about benching him but who else do you put there? Suarez would be wasted as a conventional lone centre forward. Kuyt?

Hope Swansea put 2 or 3 past Wigan in the second half. I'm surprised how awful Wigan are.

really feeling howard's camo jersey. other than that everton has been quite terrible.

MISSED PENALTY (Ben Watson saved by Michel Vorm)

OTM :)

Wow, West Brom have a really shitty start to the season don't they? And they're making a decent fist of it. Starting to think Dmac might be right about Shane Long.

Frimpong was so good and so stupid. Made that great interception, then when the ball ran to Adam and their relative chances in the tackle were about 10/90 you just knew he'd run right through him.

I thought Vermaelen should've read the pass for 2-0 about a half-second earlier and gotten there in time to cut it out. Couldn't even take away one unalloyed positive.

Nasri staying isn't even necessarily a good thing, unless he's the difference between midtable and a shot at fourth (not ruling that out, but top three is p much inconceivable). Wenger out/figure of fun talk is actually kind of heartbreaking, I just hope he's got a couple up his sleeve this week.

I say inconceivable, but I'm not watching the Chelsea game.

Staggeringly bad at the Bridge.
