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

Van Persie met Maradona in Dubai, Maradona saying Van Persie "is an example for all great players" [/context]

In fairness I've never actually heard the Campbell song sung at the stadium due not not being insane enough to go to any game where he was playing.

While relatively upmarket, Yarm is notorious as a hangout for 'scrotes' - a slang term for young people - who go there for nights out, our source said. It is also a well known hangout for footballers.

stewart downing arrested on suspicion of assault?

0 goals, 0 assists, 1 assault

They're really trying anything this season to stay in the tabloids aren't they?

I'm starting to warm to the current side now.

i'm liking this new look United side tho, this lad Scholes is promising

With Giggs, Scholes and Lampard in the middle we should be nicely set up for years to come

You need Van Der Sar back, I'm not even joking.

i was gonna suggest bringing ferdinand back at cb but some shit's not even funny

beckham is still looking for a club

gnew contract at galaxy i think

0 goals, 0 assists, 1 assault

you're incorrect here, he actually has as many goals as assaults now.

Warnock out? So sez the internet.

Yeah I was just reading. Hard to see how they'll do better.

Mark Hughes, according to Sky Sports News, who appear to be just getting info off twitter like the rest of us.

Okay, Hughes could be better. The Telegraph has it on Warnock, but not confirmed.

Statement from QPR shortly. Seems to be a thing.

A thing?

'A thing' as in 'it's true' or as in 'he's not been sacked for footballing reasons, but for some kind of controversy'?

a thing as in true, as opposed to twitter rumours.

Seems a shame to me

i hate Warnock but i'd rather he was in the Prem than Mark Hughes

Him in Mark Hughes would be horrible, yes

ugh

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL

The Mail has a very lengthy quote from Warnock confirming it,, but then they also had a lengthy report from Amanda Knox's failed appeal, so

Foxy 'Nocksy

rip warnock you just havent given many interesting post game interviews recently, so your appeal has gone

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has claimed that Demba Ba's release clause is actually around half the £10m mooted over the weekend, which could be set to spark a transfer frenzy.

Time, and Scholes' eventual contribution, will be the judge of this decision and the player known as 'The Ginger Prince' is the last person in the game who will have gone to Ferguson and asked to play as some sort of vanity project.

Brazil: Palmeiras react to fans holding a "homophobia pride" rally after reports the club were in talks to sign Atlético Mineiro's Richarlyson. Palmeiras: "We have no plans to sign him. Richarlyson is a good athlete, but the difficulties with our fans are clear. We have history."

• 2007 – Richarlyson sues after a Palmeiras director incorrectly outs him on TV, telling fans: "Palmeiras will never buy a gay." Judge Manoel Maximiano Junqueira Filho dismissed the case. "The comments are fair; football is virile. Gays cannot play in normal teams, they should stick to their own. Each monkey in its own branch, each rooster in its own coop, each king in its own deck of cards. That is what I think, and I'm the judge, so I say it."

Is Hughes to QPR really happening? If so, enjoy yr indentured Joorabchian shop-window crap for half a season, Hoops fans.

Could be worse, could be Bruce

That guy really is the worst agent ever, I've realised - for some reason I'd just assumed he was some kind of evil genius.

Faurlin's out injured for the remainder as well, I accept the blame myself for the mild praise I offered him last week.

Apparently Salomon Kalou got permission from the Ivory Coast FA to fly back to London from Dubai, to open talks with Arsenal? Not sure what to think of it tbh

That's way more desperate than asking Thierry back

yep. Chamakh's a sight better.

...

Benny Noon > Kalou > Arshavin > Chamakh > Park (not that I know f all about him.)

The guy is boring but he is reliable, not prone to being a dick if on the bench/dropped (fine for when aoc makes the proper step up) and can score. And he's never really been given a chance to shine in anything other than sub appearances, has he? I guess it is a smart enough signing and the type Wenger likes, if the price is as low as I'd expect it to be.

However, it is fucking underwhelming. There is still the Kolo/Ade money sat in the bank, let alone to Cesc money. Give the fans something to truly be happy* about while the club just tread water. Even if such a signing would turn out as shit as Andrey, everyone needs more of a boost right now than Salomon bloody Kalou can provide.

*Henry doesn't fucking count.

"We tried to get Gotze but he wasn't available, so we went for the next obvious option."
"Eden Hazard?
"No, Salomon Kalou."

kalou's had lots of chances

He's been there a long time

Warnock gets sacked because his board aren't happy to be hovering just above the drop zone in their first season up. Hmmmmmm.

crazy decision by bored who went through 9 managers in 4 years and had no qualms hiring joey barton shockah.

no i was praising them on their proactiveness
