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

er domenech even

does that make Steve Bould worth more than 150/1 because... free money?

What is Pelligrini up to these days? Still kicking around pretending to give a fuck at Malaga?

Arsenal should absolutely NOT follow Wenger's personal recommendation on this one

Replacing Wenger with Domenech would be like replacing Fabregas with Arteta or Nasri with Benayoun.

If we still only have four points after eight games get 'arry in to do a job.

FUCK I'd LOVE to see Piksi Stojkovic at the Emirates...a childhood hero

Until it goes tits up

Replacing Wenger with Domenech would be like replacinhg Fabregas with Dioufy

Harsh on Diofy there

How about replacing Wenger with Dioufy though?

like replacing fabregas with domenech?

Having one nutcase at the helm is surely enough for the Arse's long suffering fans?

Fulham fans doing "the Poznan" after equalising against Man City. pretty funny.

That reminds me - has Harry Enfield got a new catchphrase or does he still just tediously go "ONLY MEEEEE!!!"?

You spelled benayoun wrong.

joke's been done already today.

Replacing crouch with adebayor otoh

honeymoon period.

bet you crouch will score more goals over two seasons than ade.

Anybody other than Crouch and I'd say that was a safe-ish bet.

two seasons? He's only on loan!

Crouch will score, at a maximum, ten goals per season at stoke. This will not make up for his general level of performance.

i'm betting on ade being a lazy fucker rather than crouch being remotely competent. the casual manner in which he claimed his first goal yesterday would make me nervous if i was you.

buuuuuut Sky Sports commentary had that it was a stroke of watchmaker-like intricate skill, and you can't both be right now

Okay so I was watching American football yesterday and was kind of surprised to see FOX making a big deal out of broadcasting the Man U/Chelsea match. I mean, getting any kind of real football on any non-ESPN 2, FOX Soccer Channel is a huge deal, made more striking to see it promoted so heavily during American football. Of course, this "broadcast" was tape-delayed and shown at 12:30 am, but, uh, I guess inroads?

cool, we need more yanks on ilf tbh, it gets quiet at night imo.

Ade's first goal yesterday was brilliant?

Crouch will score 20 goals in the Europa League this season as Stoke rampage to the semi-finals, which will distract from the paltry three goals in the Premiership.

I lurk the ILF tons, but being a Yank who, as of now, doesn't have Fox Soccer Channel and only has access to whatever game ESPN 2 decides to air, I don't feel like I have tons to add. That Blackburn/Arsenal game was thrilling though, even had my wife really into it.

pfft i don't think we're adding anything ourselves, come on in and abuse a hoy hoy like the rest of us

Serious q, I listen to the Football Weekly podcast with James Richardson to keep up with stuff and I really like it (particularly all the other people they bring in to cover other leages and Barry Glendenning's grouchiness), is this a good one to keep up with? Or should I give the Times one a shot?

Ade's first goal was brilliant, but he wasn't that fussed about it.

And as for his lacklustre celebration after his second.... it doesn't bode well.

ayoboder

Jon, if you can't find the irish saturday night show 'the premiership' then you're already listening to second best imo

eurgh yesterday was awful

but srsly, a striker tucking away 3 in 2 without looking fussed is a problem? His general play in each game was great.

We're taking darragh and number none's word for it that this show actually exists btw xxp

Is San Te still supporting Liverpool?

i'm betting on ade being a lazy fucker rather than crouch being remotely competent. the casual manner in which he claimed his first goal yesterday would make me nervous if i was you.

Ha, was just thinking about that xp! Cruellest trick we ever pulled, that one.

I like the Times one if only because Moratti is turning into a grouchy old man and I like hearing the change from plucky fan of european football to someone who hates everyone.

wtf is harry playing at with levy/modric?

He wants to keep our best player happy, what a scumbag.

ah cmon matt, his behaviour throughout just beggars belief ffs. Modric is on a good contract with years to run and spent all summer agitating for a move. Redknapo seems to be trying to needle Levy to no discernible end.

jon, stick with football weekly. anything else is just pretenders

Thanks.

wtf is harry playing at with levy/modric?

was convinced during transfer saga that 'Arry's "He should go, I don't think he shd stay at Spurs" was a bit of dressing-room gamesmanship. If he didn't go, he didn't want to have alienated Modric. Same here. In private to Levy he'll be all "I quite understand if you don't want to pay him that, but I can't have him thinking that I think that." Hence odd public avowals where he sounds more like Luka's agent than manager. Or maybe he gets a cut or something idk.

one possible angle, yeah

alternatively, he's already putting pressure on for jan window, or moving to get excuses in early. Tho tbh i don't see how this does either of those things.

See, i don't think modric is gonna kick up between now and jan/summer, and he was as good over 90 mins against liverpool as i've seen him. Taking into account that he'll surely go within the timeframe of his current contract, i just don't know what's to be gained by harry constantly stirring this.

looking forward to st. arsenaleringham's day this season

it will be a sad day i may wear a black armband

now arry's havin a go about how he wanted to keep woodgate. maybe the press are the only friends he has who will listen to his problems

Harry might want to put Modric in a higher pay band in order to lift the ceiling on wages that stops Spurs attracting bigger-name players.

maybe.

not convinced it's a manager's place to get into the way a club's finances are run, and obv that goes quintuple in Arry's case

goes w/out saying, hence applying pressure from outside like this as opposed to being let near levy
