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

xp the squad is top 8 but moyes' excuses are champs league

not his game

WOO! Brighton vs LFC in Carling Cup!! I may get to see Lucas in the flesh.*wipes tear from eye*

joey barton appears to be in the crowd with henry holland

i could be wrong

Spurs away at Stoke btw Darragh. Do you guys care about CCup anymore?

haha jordi gomez pulled adel's shorts down and the columbian commentators were all WAHEYYY NALGAS

Park Chu-Young apparently having medical at Arsenal. Plays for Monaco, maybe Jibe can give us the low down. On the plus side he's not a teenager.

they also seem to referring to tommy smith as simply "mr smith"

Can you take a photo for me, please?

bollox, golazo from di santo after crap marking

Why is Wigan - QPR an early kick-off?

wigan warriors are in the rugby league challenge cup final at 3

Villa Wolves got good , there's suddenly space in the middle and just enough ineptitude in possession to set up constant chances to counter-attack

Ivanhoe having a stormer, frankly

Delph looks good positionally, but wastes the ball too often. Still made a couple of nice interceptions. Is Rio Coker still there? Or am I 2 years behind the times?

Reo left on a free and signed for Bolton recently

Delph is rash and wants to run the game and kick people all the time, but has a strange Bambi-with-the-ball-glued-to-his-foot ball retention ability and can beat a man; glad he's getting a run

Chris Herd's lung-bursting endeavour has been very gradually trumping his obvious total ineptitude over the course of the match, it's heartwarming

OTM

He's playing centre forward more than Bent is at times

wigan warriors are in the rugby league challenge cup final at 3

Ahh yes, remember hearing about that yesterday actually.

back to knackered inept shit, anyone getting a second wind will win it

attendance 30,076. Villa capacity must be 40,000+ right?

late doyle winner imo

43. Alex McLeish is our manager.

that's a penalty imo

luke young's solid enough right?

Yeah, good signing

di santo's knocked in another classy one, fair enuff really

Bolton Wanderers have stepped in to sign Dedryck Boyata on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

this 'bolton as a finishing club for potential superstars' myth has struck again. trrfc signing imo even if they need one of city's many many strikers more.

Dunno if there is such a myth. Coyle just seems to be a shrewd negotiator.

wd've took that point before kick off and def after 60 mins so fair enough. title challenge still on.

see y'all in a week or so.

fuck it i forgot i came up with a refinement to my dn in the pub

i used to have Chris Herd on loan in a FM2010 team btw, swear he played midfield

attendance 30,076. Villa capacity must be 40,000+ right?

Wonder how much the tickets were. Even so, you'd think they'd be able to fill the stadium for a local derby?

£20-40. Wolves isn't a "big" game for Villa, they've had three home games in a week and Alex McLeish is their manager. A lot of people probably just didn't renew their season ticket.

I've always found lunchtime games anywhere the easiest to get tickets for fwiw. I've also seen a few biggish games at villa and never had particular problem getting a ticket, so I don't think this is a new thing.

Yeah, the attendances dropped off when we were still good, I guess money is a pretty big factor

when I still had a season ticket we stopped selling out derbies/ top 4 games in O'Neill's last couple of seasons

hilarios

fuuuuck, drogba just got knocked the fuck out

BBC min by min says he got punched in the head by the Norwich keeper. Is that not a penalty then?

he was offside before the punch

out cold before he hit the ground and fell hard

Guardian's MBM is funny, the only updates are from emailing readers b/c Rob Smyth is apparently watching a rugby match and nothing else. ""Ouch!" says Jonny Mac. "Don't know if you saw that but Drogba ..."

Swansea-Sunderland has been OK. Now Cattermole off, Wickham on, should get better.

That was a horrible landing for Drogba, we (Norwich) let off lightly by the offside call...

Norwich have just missed a great chance to talk the lead at Chelsea. It sounds like they have been the better side today.

Quality.

Park Chu-Young apparently having medical at Arsenal. Plays for Monaco, maybe Jibe can give us the low down. On the plus side he's not a teenager.

proved a solid backup and impact sub when i took him with me from rangers to man utd in football manager 2006, good signing imo.

http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/873689-park-chu-young-on-verge-of-arsenal-transfer-after-going-awol-from-lille

The Monaco striker had agreed terms to join the French champions and the deal had progressed as far as him travelling to Lille on Friday, with a view to completing the move on Saturday.

However, when club officials went to collect the South Korea international from the hotel for his medical, they found the room empty.

if he can bring a few lols like this then that would be appreciated by all too, i'm sure.

Slightly biased, but I think Norwich have been the better side. Would be happy to take a point, but there's definitely a possibility of 3. Of course, Chelsea being Chelsea could probably stick one in any moment.

fuck Chelsea penalty, more Ruddy dodginess

Keeper had to get there

Ruddy sending off harsh

Fair enough imo
