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

Well Real have taken the advantage today. Just about

ade trying hard to please by the looks of it, blimey. xp not that barca ran away with it but just had the feel of NEVER IN DOUBT. a bit like liverpool 08/09 ;_;

Jeez Louise, I can't believe people are making this into a two horse race already. There's still 34 games to play. I can totally see Man City disintegrate later on this season due to having a shit coach and not being as cunning and automatic as ManU, say. If Chelsea keep hanging on they are well in this still.

And don't rule out Wolves ffs.

Pundits giving it the 2 horse race theory already are quite funny.

To be fair it was obviously a three-horse race before the season started, calling it two-horse now is really no more than saying Chelsea ain't all that.

i'm no pundit.

Chelsea ain't all that.

They're still picking up the points. And last season their form was insanely erratic: I don't think I've ever known a team go from being so dominant to so shit (and then sort themselves out again). There's no reason to think they'll be any more consistent this season - who knows what they'll be playing like in a few months' time?

As long as they keep Torres on the bench eh?

how was meireles, anybody?

i wasn't thinking of pundits on here so much as professionals. but no way are Chelsea write-offable yet and we've seen teams go from unstoppable to stuck in a rut season in season out.

also *cough*Liverpool*cough*

Liverpool are good again but they are not title race material this year.

i'd consider them rank outsiders but we'll see. obviously 4th game predictions have a great track record.

weird dalglish interview after the game suggesting that respecting referees is costing us points and that he might have to think again and be a bit more "destructive" o_O

Rank outsiders - I can go for that. Realistically should get fourth, might finish ahead of Chelsea, no way are they finishing above either Manchester side.

I'm in two minds about whether to start a thread asking a fairly obscure question about the first world war. I might not bother. I might just ask it here instead.

fergie didn't fight in WWI, no

Britain won aet

Uwe Rossler's great grandad was not a Zeppelin pilot iirc

Victory parade before crowds on The Mall chanting 'one world war and no world cups, doo dah' iirc

sir alex will have been fuhrerous

*must stop posting then forgetting about it*

"plucky little [________]" <-- actual cause of hostilites breaking out

ha

"he's been caught in no man's land, no idea what he's doing there to be honest"

rooney goebbels up those chances

legendary match in no man's land final score 4-2 to england in extra time

"they think it's all over, it will be by christmas"

Austria-Hungary went to pieces during the run-in

city are incredible

tackle by davies on cleverly was innocuous enougn imo? Yeah, through the man but not straight leg and not down on the foot.

for all the decisions i've seen given in carragher's favour over the years, that's an incredibly soft penalty

henderson..........

That Liverpool penalty appeal at the end was fucking bollocks

"A Difficult Place to Go" should basically be on the "Welcome to Stoke" sign on the motorway at this point

yeah, but the first was nailed on and the one that went against them was dodge.

Phil Thompson today claimed that 'for me, Crouch is the better player' re Adebayor. Stupid cunt.

I'unno, I wasn't that outraged by any of those decisions

In the Liverpool game, I'll give you the Ade/Crouch one

rafa's gone and i like em better now, but it'll be a long day yet when a decision going against liverpool will 'outrage' me tbf.

both liverpool shouts could be construed as ball to hand, the second one for sure. carragher fell over for the stoke pen but why oh why did he have his arms wrapped round walters' groin in the first place? been a liability for a couple of years now and it's sad to see.

sturrrrrridge

felt carragher was shoved for pen tbh, also ball-to-hand negated by distance of hand from body in first shout.

meireles with the sturridge assist :(

i'm supposed to be the biased red ffs xp

ffs chelsea

ok this Steve Bruce interview is borderline sexually arousing 2 me

drown me in the sweet water of your tears

great news for my fantasy league team name but oh my, asa, you fooled me. suarez was the avenging angel after all.

can't believe gyan went on loan without sunderland accepting an offer or anything

first Brucie knew about it was from a shit-smeared postcard.

bittahly disappointed t'dee
