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

great stuff

Incredible centre halving there from mertkosy

wau dis game

I'm watching on flashscores but hahahahaha

Le Bateau Ivre is clearly two minutes behind the rest of us

chesney going mental at his back 4 otm

streaming is piracy!

mertesacker! haaaaaaaaa

you wouldn't stream a car

home streaming is killing football

Easier to score than miss there Per.

James, damnit I am!

mertesacker looks constantly tortured

Rosicky passing to the opposition while Henry is right next to him and in space - it seriously is like he never left.

you can hear Tyler getting ready to unleash any time the ball goes near Henry

Bloodzeed is a pretty handy guy to have around for people who want to watch football online but is he not like a bit of an idiot linking to his twitter and making himself visibly like that one guy on the Internet who steals football for everyone

Oof, that should've been 4-2 tbh

Bloodzeed is a bloody spud, hope he gets busted.

spuds have enough trouble w/ the law atm iirc

Swansea are walking this. Love their play

wtf is wenger wearing? he looks ridiculous.

sleeping bag lady

Are there any actual superstars in this team or is it just a case of Brendan Rogers is the next great manager? He has been hyped through the roof for a couple years but when he fell apart at Reading, it kinda all disappeared.

Helps that we are just so tame. No Arteta, no Wilshere, no threat from the wings, full backs are centre halves who don't naturally spread the play&possession...

Wenger has always rocked the michelin man coat.

when is wilshere due back?

wenger sporting "the avb position", aka "the crapper"

This season whoever finishes 4th doesn't deserve to play in the Champions Lge if it's one of Arsenal/Chelsea/LFC. All v v poor.

Swansea were good tho

Wenger has now resorted to shitting on the pitch

jesus steady on, one of those teams could still get third tbf

that is probably my favourite non-Spurs result of the season thus far

Swansea up to tenth! Gotta hand it to them tbh

top quality intense stoppage-time whistling from their fans, but they saw it out pretty calmly all told

Newcastle deserve fourth, except that it's damning that they don't have it already

I was born to hate Newcastle and devotedly did so all my life but this season they are just really, really good and I am warming to them. They couldn't have done it with even Shearer's ghost still haunting that team tbh

From J, via text: "Wenger complains teams never engage Arsenal in a game of football, but any time it happens their defensive frailties are all too obvious. Well played Swans."

otm

it's the same bloody excuse Ajax always comes up with. Well that and the fact that it rained

i don't hate any club as a matter of principle, just take it regime-by-regime or season-by-season, and it's genuinely only liverpool that have been constant the past five-six years

Hate Newcastle and Chelsea usually, but have warmed to both this year. Utd are this year's, without their awfulness I'd like pretty much the whole division.

I'm starting to hate Liverpool a bit though.

Agreed. Can't stand United this year, can't stand Scholes, can't stand Fergie, can't stand Rooney... ugh

Liverpool's failing doesn't make me hate them more. Makes them more real tbh

I still enjoyed them when they were properly failing, but unless we're facing a big team this year is just ugh.

h8 arsenal and stoke and utd and pool and wigan

2nd half against Man City on Weds was my only ugh moment with LFC this season. Mostly inept at home but good away and I love the defence and the majority of the players tbh. Just exasperated cos I think Chelsea, Arsenal are genuinely rubbish and 4th place should have been there for the taking.

Used to love Bergkamp era Arsenal, hate this lot tho.

Spurs not hateable yet but give it a few more weeks and I'm sure I'll manage it.

Yeah I'm being unfair because at least some of the bad home form really is down to luck, but what I can't handle is that it rarely looks like it when we're chasing the win. We always look like a dour mid-table side punching above their weight, if anything.

The BBC published that? That's PhD level stuff by their standards

top reasons that i might begin to hate a team over time:-

consistent on-pitch thuggery (particularly unpunished)- stoke, f'rinstance
consistent favouritism from refs/FA- utd, f'rinstance, tho stoke also
consistent refusal to take responsibility for own job- rafa, f'rinstance, tho wenger also
consistent frustration with manager/players tactics/performance - spurs, arsenal, utd, lfc

I know right? Bevan must've looked to left 'n right, saw that Nult wasn't around quickly pressed publish I think

is it just a case of Brendan Rogers is the next great manager?

I think he's developing a Scottish accent just in case. LOL his son is called Anton Rodgers!

Swansea and Norwich do seem a bit unusual for promoted sides. Normally the ones that do well are either ugly-but-effective, or on a lucky run that's clearly going to end. I don't think you can say that about these two.
