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

refs just aren't going to bother showing up for stoke games any more, are they?

Benefit the attacker my hole

What, you reckon we were hard done by? There was a lot of falling over in their box, but afaict nobody was getting very irate about it.

barmby article was nice

reckon carroll had a vg shout but obv he couldn't should because of a huthlock, and regardless of where woodgate is looking he can't run up kuyt.

is thread broke?

that was some effort from Torres that led to the Lampard goal.

It looked like he wasn't sure if he'd scored himself while he was still on the floor

Torres heroically tragic miss, Lampard fortuitous deflection, Cattermole moron - 3/3

OT but I don't understand why Arsenal aren't trying to get Alex. Alex at QPR, jez, he can do so much better surely

So you wouldn't want Alex at Arsenal for spite? -_-

I was feeling pretty good last Saturday night.

To have come back from 1-0 down with 10 men at a club in such good form as MK Dons was a good effort which spoke volumes for the character in the side, especially as we haven't won an FA Cup game in 11 years! Then at 8.30 on Sunday morning I received a text from Phil Beard, QPR's chief executive, and I knew it was all over. The hardest 22 months of my career, but also the most rewarding, had come to an end.

you learned ballet sarcastically? xp

how come I am just learning that Wolves' goalkeeping coach is called PAT MOUNTAIN?

I know of no finer named sportsman

Lots of Hughes coverage in today's papers. Can't say I'm warming to him:

At City, he made the security guy take down the Ricky Hatton posters in his cabin because he thought it gave the wrong impression.

i dunno, that seems fairly prescient

Ha, I guess so. I missed off the next bit though:

Yet this level of detail has not always been so apparent. Hughes turned a blind eye when Robinho turned up for trips abroad in jeans and trainers when he should have been wearing a club suit.

btw Ismael loved that Barmby article you linked to, thanks.

Confirmed my poor opinion of Robson also

Yeah it was nice to be reminded how good he was. You tend to forget about these more unassuming types in favour of guys with personality or a media profile.

How long have QPR been using an Ajax strip as their away kit? Didn't they always use to have red and black hoops?

this has taken me by surprise today also

I dunno, I'm getting more of a colour-blind-Spice-Boys-away-kit vibe from it myself.

Blackburn are staying up, I'm calling it.

not too sure about sky's stats, showing one newcastle attempt on target yet they have scored and paddy kenny also turned a ryan taylor effort round the post in the first half iirc

no yak for 3 games and can't keep clean sheets so not so sure.
xp
unlike a lot of the bottom teams they do score consistently tho (more than us for starters)

They really should stay up, theyve got the best squad down there. Liverpool down to seventh meanwhile.

Only 36 to go this year to break the record now for RVP!

Player-for-player I don't think Blackburn are actually that bad and they do seem to have been involved in a fair number of high-scoring draws. A better manager than Kean would have that squad in an unexciting midtable position by now.

Might be a last-day-of-the-season escape though.

swansea are exceptional in midfiel, deserves a thread. Currently 67% possession against arsenal, and mostly positive in intent.

blackburn player-for-player are actually pretty bad imo

so Aaaron Ramsey, a bit rubbish?

dunno why i felt that needed so many a's

it wasnt a penalty if you see the replay

he's still been awful though

any ref who got that right would just be guessing. ffs fifa/uefa bring in tv replays for refs to help them. it works in other sports.

did anyone here watching the game think it wasn't a penalty? I sure did at the time.

yeah, it looked a cert in real time

and yes ramsay is having a poor game but it doesn't make him rubbish. Everyone has bad days.

Kerr are you coming to our side? Welcome! #arsenal

i'll say it again, if you had to beat an epl defence and gk you wouldn't be killing yourself to keep yr balance under contact, hard enough without half-kicks and shoves allowed by the ref.

hey 'deems' wtf did that Other Guys quote come from? Made me lol just from the incongruity.

lbi what do you mean?

beauty

Dyer for England?

nice
