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

lol gooners

i don't know who any of those arsenal players are, city won't implode, spurs are stronger and liverpool are comin back and i don't think blasé references to being the historical gimp fourth in a now more-than-four horse race are gonna cut it

city
utd
chelsea
spurs
arsenal
liverpool

Yeah. Picking 3-5 is tough but I'd put money now on Liverpool 6th or lower, if I was one for that.

i want liverpool and real madrid to do badly and don't care about a lot else this season

sam's right about it making for good watching though. Just don't see liverpool breaking down teams well enough to get top 4, and wenger iirc was out only a fortnight ago so i dunno has kieron gibbs solved that all by himself since and tbh i'm p confident spurs will be closer to chelsea than to either of those teams by end of may

liverpool team is pretty horrible

in what way

mix of players still not making sense to me

team full of thuggish fairground footballers with one endearing racist adding a morsel of flair

don't think suarez is racist tbh but i accept without a poll it's moot at best

Suarez has to tire eventually with the number of games he's played in 2011. Downing's been unimpressive, Henderson not going to get a proper shot unless Gerrard stays hurt. Vulnerable central defence.

downing as left henderson as right prongs in a carrolk trident, i still believe

Liverpool team is also particularly ugly

just has the look of a st0rmfr0nt convention in halifax, random imported dorks and twitchy psychos bonding uneasily

i must say this is all very spurious

lol

iirc our resident liverpool fans were annoyed when u were being spurious this afternoon

true

disregarding spuriousnes for a second, they play shitty football for such an expensive side, a high-functioning versh of o'neill's villa, seldom any subtlety or change of pace

pace is a problem for them, after suarez you're looking at the fullbacks to provide any speed, right?

I dunno, just think this year's too soon into the recovery project for top four.

think they need a better manager to go top 4

I guarantee that we will not finish in the top four this season.

(see what I did with the Rafa 'guarantee' quote thing, did ya, did ya?)

idk, i was laying into yall for hyping them six weeks ago, but they still have a reasonable chance of getting to the cl.....35/40% maybe

Gerrard's injured again btw.

how do you rate downing, henderson, adam?

adam is a shit cunt tbf, slower than metastasis and similarly dangerous

Downing impressed me early on, but he's gone quiet over the last few games. Adam started poorly with flashes of brilliance, but is getting better and more consistent. Been a few weeks since he shot from the halfway line anyway. I really like the look of Henderson - moves the ball quickly, can play one/two touch. Reckon he's been more effective on the few occasions he's played in the middle, rather than on the right.

Warmed to Adam since he baked a cake on Blue Peter.

henderson is definitely not a winger, he is a sort of energetic combination player who can do a bit of everything

cleverly, milner, ramsey, ramires are the closest likenesses in the other teams

Would substitute Song for Ramsey, who's starting to look like more just useful. Song clearly can't be expected to stay where he's stationed anyway.

more *than* just useful

ramsey is better than those players but at the moment but not categorically unlike them

but at the moment

Liverpool team is also particularly ugly

Holy shit, RVP has actually had to deny Nazi salute allegations. This is getting ridiculous.

Got to say, when he did it, my first reaction was "Why is he giving a Nazi salute?"
Happy to believe he wasn't, but I don't think it's an unfair question.

Having just watched it again, he initially does the dirt of your shoulder thing but the subsequent out-thrust arm really is unfortunately Hitler-esque

But when will filthy foreigner Arsene Wenger apologise for being a paedofile?

yeah i did a nazi salute gag at the time but i didn't really think he was doing it

Me too. It's quite bizarre he has to apologise/"explain himself" for this

Yeah, i posted about it during the match. Can't help feeling in some way responsible

Wait so that song I heard on Saturday wasn't the Arsenal fans singing "there's only one Nazi rapist"? Disappointing.

So, considering Chelsea were drawing at the time, did the famously reformed gambler and brave English lion John Terry really slip over or is he now fixing matches to help him pay off his mother's £4mn mortgage?

on his money Terry's finances must be firmly in the blind

"It has been brought to my attention of some ridiculous allegations concerning my celebration of one of my goals yesterday," Van Persie said on Twitter late Sunday.

"It is totally ludicrous to suggest that my action of brushing my shoulder and pointing to my fans could be construed as anything else but of a showing of joy and celebration.

"To suggest this meant anything to the contrary is insulting and absolutely absurd as nothing else came into my mind."

disappointed that he bothered to reply to this drivel

if he had claimed it was a john terry ref that would have been great tho

u can tell rvp wants to be liked tho.....always eager in interviews, giving champagne to his teammates, giving away his shirt and bowing to the crowd on saturday

Hitler wanted to be liked too
