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

I keep thinking I've accidentally clicked the same thread twice with this and the Bale thread.

spurs fans do talk a lot.

well, one's called the bale thread, the other's the league he plays in as a footballer in england with spurs

When did 'arry start thinking Engerland are a bigger club than Tottenham?

Maybe Inter will offer Tottenham Hotspur £40mn for 'arry?

fun to think what he could do with arsenal tbh

'Arry and Milan Mandaric to stand trial on the 23rd of January for tax evasion. Can't be good for his health

tits

Trap in

Also VDV hurt his hammy yesterday.

Crikey, that's quite soon.

I'm sure they'll let him have electric windows in his cell so as he can still pass comment on everybody else's teams on Sky Sports News' transfer deadline day specials.

Patrice Evra has been informed that he may have difficulty proving he was the victim of racial abuse from Luis Suárez, because of a counter-argument that certain variations of the N-word are not deemed offensive where the Liverpool player grew up, in Uruguay..... Top-level sources at Old Trafford say the offending word was uttered in Spanish and allegedly was a derivative of "negro", with Evra stating that it was used "at least 10 times".

I worry about the mid- and low-lever sources. You just don't hear from them anymore these days, what with the top-level sources and all

will the belgium u21s be as interesting to watch as the full squad? they seemed to have gone ham on the youth front over the past five years or ix it just a one-off gen?

Amazed you think anyone here is going to be able to answer that. Well, pandemic might.

lol nach holds all the answers, come on.

dutch u21s being beaten by scotland atm.

Belgium u21 squad should be bright and full of promise, but I've not seen them recently

Former Tottenham and Newcastle midfielder David Ginola is suing his one-time France coach Gerard Houllier.

Houllier managed the French national team between 1992-93, as well as Liverpool and Aston Villa in England.

He is alleged to have referred to Ginola in offensive terms in a new book, Coaches' Secrets.

"David is absolutely incensed," a spokesman for Ginola told the BBC. "Houllier should stop talking like this. Stop singling David out."

Amazed that Houllier is still butthurt about that. What were you doing relying on a draw with Bulgaria to go through in the first place?

Also y'know greatest Bulgarian team ever featuring one of the greatest footballers ever.

dutch u21s being beaten by scotland atm

Blimey yes, they won, who'd a' thocht it?

suing cos someone has an unfavourable opinion about you? Pathetic.

french footballer is ott insecure, news at 10.

tbh i kinda feel bad for Ginola cause Houllier never ever wastes a chance to lay all the blame on him. for somthg that took place 18 yrs ago. and he does it quite regularly (i almost feel like saying anytime he's interviewed). but yeah, kinda lame

Also after everything that's happened in the intervening 18 years does anyone else in France actually care?

I mean surely French football has had enough shame and glory since then to make this a mere footnote for everyone else?

did houllier refer to ginola as a blind cunt?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/nov/16/luis-suarez-fa-charge-racism-evra

Liverpool's Luis Suárez has been charged with racism by the Football Association after a complaint was made by Patrice Evra of Manchester United during the 1-1 draw between the two sides on 15 October.

The FA's statement, published on its official website on Wednesday evening, said: "It is alleged that Suárez used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra contrary to FA rules. It is further alleged that this included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra."

Not good. I was expecting that one to run into the sand for some reason.

the first bit of that charge seems to indicate that using abusive and/or insulting words to another player is a chargeable FA offense. I had no idea that was the case.

it's a red card offence, and (only) red card offences can be picked up after the fact by disciplinary committees if the referee confirms he didn't see/hear it.

not sure i can ever remember seeing a ref sending off a player for verbally abusing another player tbh

true. verbal abuse is the only time i've ever given a red card tbh, but that was directed at me.

quite right. I dunno how refs put up with it tbh. seriously. Or why they put up with it.

glad the fa are chasing this

I dunno how refs put up with it tbh. seriously. Or why they put up with it.

gonna speculate that in the top flight it's because they're frightened of rocking the boat and getting thrown out of the money pit

It's hard to see how Terry can't be charged with the same thing now.

they can sympathise with each other on sunday.

That's normally my favourite game of the season except maybe the Utd ones, but not feeling it at all this time around tbh.

there won't be enough evidence to charge terry

except maybe the Utd ones

all 50-odd of them or just the ones against Liverpool/Arsenal (delete as appropriate)?

Utd play other matches?

FFS. Well wait for the hearing and you'll see the evidence. Don't worry you can continue to cheer when he scores without feeling all conflicted for the time being. And afterwards you can just continue cheering I guess.
