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

maybe it was a veiled hint to the player to do more to get on the end of it?

I'm not sure that pardew is all that bad, tbph.

wonder if one or both of Sow and Cisse will move to England and how they compare to Ba (Sengal are stacked with 26 year old strikers)

ok yeah aguero > suarez > ba > rvp > dzeko > chicarito

Think Cisse is better than Ba tbh. I rate him v highly, perhaps too highly.

a lol lol

Moussa Sow impressed me v much the 3-4 times I saw Lille play last season, always much more than Gervinho, though their roles were different.

forgot Robson's glorious Man U career during the 80s that saw them 4 times division 1 winners and a couple of European Cup wins too

Impeccable logic. By the same token I assume that (off the top of my head) Fabregas, Gerrard, Le Tissier and Shearer are/were a bag of shite, whereas David May is one of the all-time greats.

Robson's United career for the first half of the 80s largely consisted of him more or less single-handedly keeping the team in contention, then inevitably getting injured (again) and watching the team collapse without him (again).

makes you wonder how ppl will remember van persie

as the fourth best premier league striker of his era

behind Drogba, Torres, one of Tevez/CRon/Rooney?

as the man who brought the title to Man City?

not behind torres!

Alan Pardew is a fuckwit though. I remember after the first Newcastle game of the season he said he took Ba off because he wasn't getting a pass. Had he seriously not worked out how to get his players to pass to their expensive and prolific new striker by then? And then he left him on the bench for several games.

iirc fuckwit pardew was also blaming ba's form on ramadan even though a/ it finished like a month earlier and b/ it hadnt seemed to bother edin dzeko much

i was referring to a hoy hoy's ranking above

nor fukn rooney neither

He's behind drogba, alright. Injuries taken into account, though, he's sadly not near fourth.

lol rtc dzeko is white you merked urself

Robson's United career for the first half of the 80s largely consisted of him more or less single-handedly keeping the team in contention, then inevitably getting injured (again) and watching the team collapse without him (again).

ok fair point, i'll concede Robson was perhaps one of those players who is well short of international class but a talismanic figure for their club. like Gerrard, Lampard etc.

that was a 'on todays form' ranking and is why i didnt include drogs.

And yet you didn't include the premier league's top scorer? Hmmmm

on today's form it's adebayor, vdv, defoe, rvp

premierships top goalscorer is a plucky right back tho?

so sick of the pro-rooney bias around here

lol

Describing his transfer on Deadline Day, he said: "It was very stressful. At 6pm, they said everything had broken down. Then, at 8.30pm, everything started again. But there wasn't time to have a medical. I went to the offices of the club (Everton) and from there I told Arsenal to trust me and that if some medical problem was found it would be my responsibility."

Such was the interest in the little Peruvian that his first appearance in a black and white shirt for Newcastle reserves resulted in the kick off being delayed to accommodate the large crowd, many of whom had been delayed after a lorry had shed its load blocking one of the major routes into the city. Solano justified the turnout with a goal.

While the most objectionable people at Chelsea used to be kept in the stands, with John Terry they broke onto the pitch. JT, the white man who had a fruity discussion with the black Ledley King during a sending off, he’s their icon. Their Cantona, the man with the intrinsic emotional bond between player and supporters. A humble man who considered a fitting tribute to Guus Hiddink to be, ‘he kept in touch with me – which shows the measure of the man,’ without irony. This is their icon, who abused his position as club and England captain – no apology yet. Mr Chelsea, who supposedly put the knife in Mourinho’s back. Like Chelsea overall, he carries the unearned air of knowledge and civility, only to out himself as charmless and self-regarding. There are two types of cunt in this world, everyone else, and those who are John Terry.

That first line is entirely factually inaccurate given this is a club whose captain used to be DENNIS WISE.

That last sentence is gold. xp

i want to write poetry again

The last sentence is wonderful, yes.

time to revive the "john terry is a cunt" poetry thread?

that's what i'm sayin

It feels like old news but still I can largely go along with that para.

That site loves Mourinho, so their judgment is questionable.

<3 mourinho

glen johnson yet to weigh in on twitter disappointingly.

also lol at all the City players on the bench vs Bayern backing Mancini's version of events, and even more lols at Tevez demanding ab apology from Mancini.

That Surreal Football article is so challenging and unpredictable. Really brave, bold piece of writing. I mean, it's just so GODDAMN surreal!

what kept you?

I'd drink too if I had to hang out with Phil Thompson and those on cunts every Saturday.

New baby. Will probably grow up to be a right-wing JT-loving cunt who has to 'buy its own furniture', ffs.

Seriously, though, I'm clearly biased but this trying too hard with stale cliches that were tired eight years ago.

This was the giveaway for me:

'So it was such a surprise to hear ‘Let him die!’ directed at the Foreign Man.'

Dude is pretending to be old school, pre-Sky, proper fan not one of these Chelsea arrivistes (who are simultaneously vile newbies and Nazi neanderthals) but then is 'surprised' by a chant that has been sung at football matches since the 1970s.

Bet he was born in 1990 and learnt everything he knows about football culture from Red Issue and James Lawton. Whole thing screams new fan who is trying soooo hard to pretend he isn't. Bless.

Congratulations Pete!

JT still a cunt. You're mostly right about the other stuff.

yah congrats!

Levy has managed to keep the weekly wage ceiling at the club bolted down to around £70,000, with some players topping up their pay with performance-related bonuses. Even Emmanuel Adebayor, the on-loan Manchester City striker, has been accommodated into the structure. He might earn £170,000-a-week but City are contributing £100,000-a-week for the duration of his season-long deal. As an aside, this feels like one of the most graphic examples of City's financial might/extravagance.

pretty incred really
