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

julian dicks looks like he might retain a passing interest in tracking down nonces and telling them to have a word with themselves

commentator: AVB - Absolutely Vital Breakthrough

After retiring as a footballer, Dicks took up golf and soon turned professional, but was forced to give this career up due to his knee injury. He does, however, still play golf recreationally. In 2001 he made a brief return to football after signing for non-League Canvey Island, but played only four matches. He went on to run the Shepherd & Dog Public House in Langham, near Colchester, Essex, before moving to Spain.

truly he is the platonic ideal of a retired west ham player

please change the subject. When I hear the name Julian Dicks my mind goes to other terrible Liverpool signings...Don Hutchinson, Neil Ruddock...Shudder.

Drogba with gets the second, which is his 99th PL goal. He's no Wayne Rooney

It speaks for Carroll's progress that he's not on that list

Miyachi looks decent

pretty glad i haven't gone to lidl yet

how come liverpool never signed dean holdsworth

unfuckingbelievable :D

"an astonishing come-back from Wolves" sums it up nicely

TORRES

sidles on the pitch to an ovation from the Chelsea fans

you had me going there

ugh, Lampard

fantasy points soften the blow for me

reckless challenge from Ameobi but apparently that's only a yellow when you're playing us

this has been the first football we've played in months

lol give Connor the 5 year contract now

Blimey, Sunderland got absolutely caned today. By West Brom!

Good point for Noodle's boys even if they hadn't been 2-0 down imo

Newcastle seemed at 90 percent for a lot of it, but we kept the ball, played some good stuff at times and def deserved the draw. several players still clearly not good enough but if this side of us - which appeared v. intermittently under mick this season - is down to Connor then i've just become cautiously optimistic

fuckin rotted cocks why'd i think wolves had drawn with chelsea

Pogbryniak lookin good for fulham

new t-shirt

boo! how inane. he'll never top 'why always me' at this rate.

thought nn was advocating a 'fuckin rotted cocks' or, even more random, a 'pogbryniak looks ok for fulham' t-shirt

sure, i'd buy it

Nult should have his own t-shirt line probably

Managed to get a friend to give me 2/1 odds on Arsenal winning tomorrow. Surprisingly much much better than the bookies are offering. Still could just double the pain though - expecting a rout tbh.

I'll be at work during the game. Secretly hoping for a 0-6 stuffing that makes Wenger resign in disgrace... and I see that as a more realistic option than us winning tbh.

i don't see us winning fwiw, would take a draw now

lol what's with jol/sparky happyslap

that lidl song upthread is amazing.

has motson always called drogba drogbar?

yes, but i noticed he's mangling it to a great extent than ever before

he's always said it a great deal

Hughes non-handshake / flamboyant slap thing -- what an insufferable tosser. didn't he do the same thing with someone, can't remember who, when City manager

Certainly with Pulis, initiated by Pulis iirc tbf. There may've been others.

xp Motson says it as two words as well I think. Didier Drog Bar.

how characteristically irritating of him. also the football league show credits remain weird and terrible and why is the music under them so muffled? idgi.

Hughes' insufferable tosserdom extends miles beyond handshake etiquette.

i know it's been repeated over and over but sometimes one forgets until one tries to get useful information out of it - the BBC's new football site is a fucking disgrace

Yes it is still fucking horrible. And they have got rid of the European league fixtures/results/tables like OMG I HATE YOU and I now have to use that ESPN website instead of what the fuck I PAY FOR THANK YOU WASTED LICENSE FEE THE WEBSITE AND OCCASIONALLY RADIO 4 IS ALL I FUCKING USE AND NOW IT IS JUST OCCASIONALLY RADIO 4

Spot the odd one out?

Gary Barlow is to record a version of classic George Harrison hit Here Comes The Sun - for Marks & Spencer.

The X Factor judge has tied up a deal with the chain for its summer advertising campaign.

A source said he will fly to South Africa on Friday to begin filming with M&S models Twiggy, Dannii Minogue, Lisa Snowdon, Noemie Lenoir and Jamie Redknapp.

george harrison

really Hughes' horrid way of slapping people away at handshakes says a lot about him
it clarifies how I don't like him
though I didn't dislike him as a player

Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham?

Enjoy the game Ismael!

Predicting a 2-2 draw.

3-1 = £40

But no chance. In that I simply can't imagine who would score those goals and not concede the other ones.

I'm not exactly one of football's sophisticated thinkers.

This is usually an absolute humdinger with at least five goals in it but it looks like BAE and Adebayor will be out so I'm a bit worried, even given the flimsy nature of Arsenal's defence.

The implacable Frenchman will have been anticipating that a performance against his club's bitterest rivals will have could silence the voices of those who have believed that it will have been time for him to have moved on.
