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

Coleman is bloody awful

Could easily have been sent off then if the ref had seen it. Same goes for Julian earlier.

Ooh, that might've been a stamp right enough

he was pretty off balance, hard to see as intentional, imo

oh

That miss was Torres-esque

Not really, he was at full stretch

Gazzaesque

oh man

He should have been able to bungle that in like Lescott did.

oh ledleypaws

No doubt about it.

That's cruel

that was cold and unfair to the way Spurs played.

good fucking god aaaarghh

don't think he shoulda been on the pitch

That was harsh

it's a hilarious old game

don't think Defoe can really take stick for not being able to get near enough to the cross to change the path of the ball, commentators seem to always kinda overhype close-range misses as if they should never happen even though they're inevitable

part one done, now come on arsenal

Gutted.

i hope defoe sticks with his fledgling goatee and develops the walter white look that's just begging to be unleashed.

there's probably a case to be made for his positioning being less pinpoint than it should've been but that'll always be drowned out by LOL HE MISSED FROM A YARD LOLOL

Arse-Manu really really needs to be a draw now

8-3 agg win for City then. United 0-1 defeat this afternoon?

welp, utd/arsenal definitely gets the full fox tv treatment, just like watching nfl with all the graphics and sound effects bullshit

worryingly typically spurslike but no blame on defoe, if anything the cross was a poor effort from the position.

But tbrr we didn't deserve the win nor the loss there.

Terrible from king btw, really terrible position, initial move towards ball and miss, terrible decision to tackle. We'll allow him that after a near-flawless year or two

Balotelli shouldn't have been on the pitch, he knew exactly what he was doing. Dodgy Lescott elbow earlier as well.

word for ref today, thought he was excellent, tho i only had half an eye on it due to lunch with inlaws

huh missed balotelli incident- lescott was a big hit but his eye was elsewhere imo

Piers Morgan in as a pundit.

That's Mario out for five or six games then right? Why always him?

webb saw it i thought and let it go so don't see how they can ban him

I'd be amazed if anything came of it, there normally needs to be a proepr shitstorm before the FA admit a ref is wrong (fwiw that looks like total intent to me but I don't think Webb is especially culpable for missing that)

Yeah, think most of the work was done by Richards doing well to keep up with Bale and restrict the angle of the cross

That said though, you've got to score from there, you've got to, I mean you've literally got a moral imperative to stick that one away Jermain, you've got to, the money you earn, I mean

" huh missed balotelli incident"

Then you can't comment on the ref. He was looking right at him. Even Graham Souness thought it was a foul.

don't think Webb had that much else liable to put him in the spotlight - peno was a no brainer, imo Clichy should've been booked for taking out Lennon before he was actually booked but if he had been he probably wouldn't have handled the ball so... yeah

Think Balotelli will get banned for that, tbh. It would only have been a problem if the ref had given something other than a red (i.e. yellow or just free kick), but he didn't give anything.

if he's seen the incident and taken no action i don't think the FA are supposed to intervene. obviously nobody will lie about this in the wake of a media furore.

Jones crocked. The injury nightmare continues. Maybe we'll get David May back next.

Re: the super mario stamp - but who can say that the ref saw it?

they have the power to I think but rarely exercise it - iirc Ben Thatcher got booked for decapitating someone w/ his elbow, then got banned for 8 or 9 games after it blew up

walcott the worst player on the pitch so far by a fairly wide margin, which considering mertesacker and evans are playing is quite something.

good save

United have been completely dominant and yet have scarcely had a shot

man u this week, swansea last week, arsenal need to bring in some players who can keep the ball, they're being dominated every week.

valencia looking good last few weeks now that he's not playing rb.

rooney's shoulder makes his knees collapse, that's some fuckin tic is that

deserved

what a cross, what a shitty atmosphere, what an awful player djourou is
