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

OptaJoe on Twitter: "53.3% - For the first time ever in the PL (116 games) Stoke have recorded more than 50% possession in a single match. Patience."

That's rather amazing. As much as i dislike Stoke, i'm always pleased when Kenwyne scores.

weren't they playing agaonst 10 men?

*against*

for the last half hour, by the look of it

goal-saving tackle from Wardy there, fuckin hell

go on wolves

title challenge is on

^^ just texted that to my bruv at the match, his reply was "decider next week at the Villa"

wolves fans will be delighted that their plucky journeymen continue to stink up the top of the table, every point will count come the relegation battle.

i was just gonna do a "plucky underdogs" update on Facebook. gosh, if only we cd manage to snatch the odd point against the likes of Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool. still, just a crazy dream i guess.

just off to my local to get fucking blootered now btw

Wenger Out, Big Mick In!!

Aguero is rubbish

Yeah not a patch on barry

wilkins: "he put a little bit of swazz on the side of that"

does he mean swag?

Nice dodge by Richards

did that go between hart's legs y/n

y

Didn't know Aguero was an Inbetweener.

If Wilkins had said 'swag' it would have made my year!

probably thinking of something somewhere in between 'swag' and 'vajazzle'.

best game i've seen Dseko have for City

He was good against Swansea as well. If City actually go for it, at least at home, against the 'big' teams as well it'll be fun to watch.

typical City, all the Latin flair in the world but will have to learn how to grind out a result even if it's harsh on the eyes.

lol at big john hartson's expert analysis of prem big men every game on motd2

loves his bigs does hartsy

fully expect that fat cheating bastard grant holt to be a cult figure round here soon enough

What's this MOTD3 they're talking about?

MOTD3 = cunts on 606 messageboard iirc

Holt is amusingly wide, almost like seeing Jon Parkin miraculously appear in the Prem, except Holt doesn't have Beast's charm obv.

Arsenal have won just two games in the Premiership since February, which doesn't seem to have been pointed out. That's not just a dodgy start to the season, that's a wider general torpor.

'Manager out' form at any other club imo.

Ummm? Arsenal fans are going mental? Everyone presumes he'll be out by October? That we are looking at a season akin to Liverpool last season, not qualifying for the CL - at least, morale is about as low as it has ever been and the only way out is a fresh fucking change? I love Wenger, I think we all do, but it is time to push him and the borad out the door (not to be replaced by rapists who resemble jabba the hut).

It was, in its way, terrific fun supporting Liverpool last season. You're not going to be relegated, you're not going to go bust, just enjoy the ride.

Modric isn't playing tonight as "his head isn't in the right place". That's pretty worrying.

Worrying indeed. I thought he had an injury, although it might be a phantom one.

Wenger won't be sacked but I'm not sure I'd bet against him leaving right now. He's showing all signs of hating every minute of his job right now.

With Mata to Chelsea, surely they won't also buy Modric?

Why wouldn't they? Mata's a winger, Modric a central playmaker.

lol wenger out

tbh i think this is not what you do to someone you love. Even I'm questioning the wisdom of his decisions myself but until you have a suitable, available replacement in mind, I suggest you show a bit of respect and shut the fuck up.

Chris posted this on the other thread - not sure how this could have got out, but has the ring of truth imo.

Replace Wenger with who? Especially if the report above is true. The new manager would face the same wage restrictions. Good luck finding someone who'd do a better job than Wenger given the situation.

yeah

Tho if he really wanted to push rvp and nasri up to the 120k + club he's fuckin cracked

And if he really thinks a 30m winger on similar wages is the priority then he's fuckin cracked

So, no, tbh, in that slashfic piece the board is otm

And if he really thinks a 30m winger on similar wages is the priority then he's fuckin cracked

Wouldn't have been a priority last year, might be now given that Arsenal look short of creativity with Fabregas gone, Nasri nearly gone, Arshavin half-arsed, Rosicky knackered and Walcott shite.

Not a good day for the professor.

Have bookies stopped taking bets on Oxlade-Chamberlain being sent off on his debut yet?

which clubs are paying their players £120k at the moment who'd want to buy van persie?

Malaga?

those russian guys as well

Well, if you wanna swap him for Joe Cole I wouldn't say no.
