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

xxp

almost. Wardy started out as a forward, couldn't cut it and was reinvented by McCarthy as a Championship-quality LB who plays left mid sometimes. his LB performances for us have been improved this season, tbf, along with a general improvement across the back four since Roger Johnson arrived and presumably asked them politely to pull their fucking fingers out.

of course if we had more than 3 first team strikers we wouldn't be in this situation would we Mick YOU FUCKING GRINNING EEJIT??

lassana diarra and mathieu flamini too

also MAYBE YOU SHD GIVE SAM VOKES A GAME AFTER ALL HE IS TECHNICALLY A CENTRE FUCKING FORWARD oops sorry gotta shoe-horn Ward in there somewhere

essien was also great as a nominal fullback

easy rooney joke

am staggered nakh hadn't already made it tbh

that was just sitting invitingly 30 yards from goal before u arrived to nick it from the feet of a certain onrushing irish thudd apologist

on a lighter note tho, this sudden "oh shit Ward's playing up front" is a direct knock-on off of our lack of signings during the summer. you'd think somebody might've guessed that Fletcher, Doyle and Seb mightn't be enough on their own for a season, like.

Travelling up to Wolverhampton on Sat to see the game. Sold it to my wife as "Why don't you visit your stroke-ridden aunt near Wolverhampton? I'll find something to do with the boy while you do that. Oh, look - QPR are there that day!"

wish stephen ward didn't exist and the elements that comprise him ould be used to form a small fruit tree instead

a splendid post

is ward really a utility man per se or one of the rarer breed of striker/defenders like ian marshall, steve walsh and probably seven other former leicester players? is there a difference?

god remember huthy in the camp nou

The third and final substitute for Chelsea was Robert Huth, taking over from Cole and endeavouring with understandable futility to throw his considerable weight around in attack. With all of 20 minutes left, the Nou Camp crowd had already been tuning up for inevitable celebration.

john o'shea is an inutility player tbf

calumny best

paul warhurst

Chris Sutton. CB at Norwich at first.

For all the complaints about Defoe and Crouch, i'm reminded it wasn't that long ago Spurs were forced to play Gary Doherty up front.

if i was 'reminded' of that by someone i'd throw something at them

one thing i'm surprised about is after the success (kinda), mick had with o'hara and mancienne, and with sturridge and welbeck etc. having good seasons a year ago.... AND with City and Spurs and Chelsea etc. all trying to get down their wage bill or get potentially good youngsters away, that he didn't get more involved with the loan market? I mean sure maybe not someone like Ade would go but a MB Diouf or Bendtner or Coulibaly or Santa Cruz or Sturridge were all maybe options? Options that may have walked into yr first xi, all without a transfer fee?

Sturridge in the Chelsea 25, so he wasn't an option for anyone this time round. I'd imagine the wages of Santa Cruz especially, and Diouf and Bendtner to a lesser extent would be an obstacle for Wolves - who run at a profit, remember - to take on within their budgetary structure. Add to that the fact that Bendtner is also indisputably shit.

I'm sure you could afford Diouf

Man U wages? Even for a young player, they've got to be right at the upper end of the Wolves pay scale, I would have thought. To turn a profit they must have wages hammered right down as far as they can go.

Wage structure is definitely a part of it but there's a stubbornness about McCarthy that makes you think he will stick with some players no matter how obvious it is that they just aren't good enough. The dude rates work ethic ridiculously high I think - which is fair enough for 80 percent of yr team, but you've got to allow for the odd highly-skilled layabout imo.

"I think he's a typical British player," said the United manager, who left Rio Ferdinand behind as a precaution ahead of Sunday's visit of Chelsea and revealed Nemanja Vidic is a fortnight away from returning from a calf problem.

"There have been British players over the last few years, maybe for the last decades, who have similar great qualities that make them great players, whether it's a [Paul] Gascoigne, George Best, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law. The similarities are that the boy has great courage, wants to play all the time and has incredible stamina. These are added extras to the talent he has. In terms of a Brazilian, you'd say Pelé. He was a very aggressive attacker also who could look after himself, so can Rooney. They have similarities that way: strength, speed, determination, but he's white, completely white."

I was sure you added the last bit

what

waht indeed

waht

just thinking up poll options for the word Fergie's gonna claim he said that sounded like "white".

this is why they were pushing for phelan, the old cunt's lost it

I assume it was some sort of laboured reference to Rooney's nickname

what, Shrek?

Wayne Rooney: Completely White

hell of an epitapth

he got cut off before he finished

"They have similarities that way: stwength, speed, detemination, but he's white, completely white-footed, and I'm vewy pwoud of him"

completely white

I'm a bit annoyed that Glen Johnson is out for the Spurs game, would expect Bale to get some joy against him. As it is they'll probably play Skrtel there and Bale will be crunched within the first 10mins.

good old Skrts

fergie out surely.

What for?

wacism

Rooney isn't white?

being white is the identifier of a british person clearly

Well if you're actually being serious, pretty sure Ferguson's comments were a reference to Rooney's nickname among Utd supporters which is "The White Pele"

yeah but on that basis he could have just said

"I think he's a typical Korean player," said the United manager, who left Rio Ferdinand behind as a precaution ahead of Sunday's visit of Chelsea and revealed Nemanja Vidic is a fortnight away from returning from a calf problem.

"There have been Korean players over the last few years, maybe for the last decades, who have similar great qualities that make them great players, whether Y P Lee, Jung Hwan Ahn, The similarities are that the boy has great courage, wants to play all the time and has incredible stamina. These are added extras to the talent he has. In terms of a Brazilian, you'd say Pelé. He was a very aggressive attacker also who could look after himself, so can Park. They have similarities that way: strength, speed, determination, but he eats dog in his own country"

(i'm not really that serious btw)

It was weird no doubt

wouldn't the korean comment have ended 'he's yellow, of course. Completely yellow'

Nah, there's a Park song about him eating dog in his home country

there's a rooney song about him being caucasian?
