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

what is that on demba ba's bonce

(looks jizzy)

Heh xxp. My dad & I sneaked into Highbury Square afterwards (it's a gated development with guards naturally, but has quite a long delay before the gates close). It's quite swish. One of the flats had a big Liverpool flag on display. There was nothing corresponding for Arsenal.

xpost Did have a Coventry-supporting friend who in the early 90s turned up at Plough Lane for their away game v Wimbledon. Several years too late.

Ha
Almost broke my ankle at Plough Lane, the away terrace seemed to consist of nothing but rubble iirc

Catching up on MOTD. Sturridge looking v much like Torres. So Chelsea have two £50 million centre forwards. They must be pleased.

AVB doesn't want to work for these shower anymore does he? Give me my payoff and I'll go somewhere where the players ego is a little closer to their current ability rather than their ability of 5 years ago.

That one-on-one he missed was completely hopeless.

Moyes OTM here. It'll never happen clearly, but nice to see someone in a prominent position actually saying it.

Looked like he was going to do a Pele, and then he couldn't even manage the heroic miss.
xp

It was as if he was trying for that, only halfway through to forget what it was Pele actually did.

Or who Pele actually was more likely.

BREAKING NEWS

Andre Villas-Boas has been sacked as Chelsea manager

AVB gone!

bye avb

Farewell AVB. Fuck Chelsea.

hope he gets a decent job

One of today's papers had Rafa ready to be announced "by Tuesday". Maybe the Fourth Estate called it right?

Don't go to Inter!!!

Poor AVB. He seemed so sad last night.

(and fuck Chelsea)

save, keeper!

are they going to sack torres while they're at it?

should've been kept on and got rid of the troublemaking players. Whoever comes in is going to have to deal with that (unless mourinho comes in end of season and they like him obviously).
I can see chelsea going the caretaker route and appointing Mourinho or someone at the end of season

Lamps, Drogs, Cechy and all them are going to suddenly start performing now?

unless rafa really is a done deal

Spurs could do worse if we need a new manager in the summer. Suspect it'll be Inter, though.

Di Matteo in interim charge. Would prob be a good gig for Rafa, but don't want to have to root for Chelsea so hope he doesn't go there.

I would happily take AVB at Anfield. Kenny not going anywhere tho obviously.

Chelsea say it's RDM to the end of the season.

"With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first-team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season."

That's so shit. RdM seems alright in general, but this is just basically an acknowledgment that boss at Stamford Bridge is just a popularity contest.

Bring back Wilkins!

The smart move would've been to make JT and Lamps joint caretakers & lance the boil in an Ashley/Shearer-style masterstroke.

I read somewhere the first team squad couldn't stand Di Matteo either ...

please let that be true

But I'd feel bad for di Matteo if he gets that treatment now, at least avb won't be ruined by this.

Ha, well done Lee Cattermole, red card for dissent after the final whistle (and repeated warnings from the ref)

so how much will these 104 days of AVB cost roman?

lol lee cattermole what a dick

a little less than 0.1% of his assets

£330,000 a day, apparently.

£2.15mn per Premier League win.

Struggling to see how Di Matteo until the end of the season is supposed to be better than Villas Boas.

Also keeping Guus Hiddink sitting around for most of the season and then sacking AVB a fortnight after he pisses off to Anzhi is some next level stupidity.

Come on Fulham. Another part of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham needs you to win this one.

Wow The Pog's got 3 goals in 3 games! What a signing.

3 goals in 3 shots even!

And another!

4 in 4!

Thought he was outstanding last week. Very tidy centre forward. Great spot by Jol. Could have done with him in Hoops.

Didn't pandemic say he was crap?

Is there anything more likely to piss fans off than when the camera cuts to the bench after your struggling team has conceded yet another and you see players laughing?
