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

Just as well Newcastle are where they are; the table would look horrendous from an LFC point-of-view if they had a few more or a few less points.

suppose it technically always kicks off after a goal now that i think about it

@Sam, he didn't say it, but he said it alright. HGe couldn't hide it tbh, the pundits were having a laugh with him, because whenever they mentioned Arsenal and his future signing for the club, his mouth went into a twee and dreamy "ffs yes I am signing for Arsenal stop giving me a hard time". He was a guest at Arsenal-Milan, he admitted his manager is working on the deal, he spoke with Wenger etc etc etc.

He's a centre half yes, the best in the Dutch league, by far. Scores 7 to 10 goals in the Dutch league every season, captain of Ajax. Played with Vermaelen for some seasons, his Belgian buddy. Great signing for Arsenal if you ask me. But it's a done deal. I'll eat my shoe if he doesn't sign for Arsenal.

Lulz at RVP and Krul having words. Van Marwijk will have to manage that for the next friendly tbh lol

But it's a done deal. I'll eat my shoe if he doesn't sign for Arsenal.

Never underestimate Wenger being able to fuck up a signing btw.

Also this is great news. We are actually trying (with real success) to do what the fans have been asking for - improve the squad and do it before clubs w/ bigger money ruin it for us.

"A poor ball there from Sagneronthebadio..."

Ha! Was the 1890s' hipsters' band of choice iirc

I hear you, but even Wenger won't be able to fuck this up, trust me. Vertonghen is gawking over Arsenal (and last night he was cornered and admitted for everyone to see what everyone kind of already knew) and he will be Arsenal's best signing of this summer, I am sure. Best signing because he is exactly what Arsenal lacks right now: stability in defense, but with agility and attacking style of play to adapt to the Premiership with relative ease. Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

The leading Dutch pundits jokingly asked Vertonghen last night if he was up for fighting for a place with Koscielny. Vertonghen answered, laughing, that swapping places, sending Koscielny to Ajax and him taking K's place, was the best deal for all involved. Just to illustrate that Arsenal are about to sign him and that Vertonghen is up for it.

keep the spurs trolls coming

look at wenger's smug old face. love that

looking at his profile... neville getting a bit podgy already

well shit man you are getting me excited! between podolski, ryo, jack and ver... gonna have to learn to spell his name - next season may not be a wasteland!

You're talking this guy up a lot LBI - when a hoy hoy does that it tends to go badly

yeah I noticed Nev had put on some weight. Adds authority

Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

hang on... you are joking here right?

merte... the statue

verm... the perenially injured

gibbs... the from the youth team

jenkinson... the beleaguered

Ismael Klata: You are not even taking into account I am talking up an Ajax player, and how hard it is for me to do that, as a PSV fan. But yes, no doubt Vertonghen is off to Arsenal this summer.

santos... the can't actually defend but is OK going forward I suppose

squillaci... the less said the better

Wenger will continue to bring in failures like Gervinho, but there's no denying he's been more on the ball with signing defenders.

I beg you, which defensive Arsenal signing as of late has been worse than the attacking signing of Gervinho?

carl jenkinson is finished.

Jenkinson > Gervinho > Park

otm

*finnish i mean. he has dual nationality.

What a brilliant goal from RVP btw, creating space for himself and scoring like that. Awesome.

good news for spurs: relegation is mathematically impossible

that's the spirit

relegation is mathematically impossible

Pretty sure someone will get relegated, tbh

don't tell venky's

Is Arteta tiny?

relegation is mathematically impossible

Pretty sure someone will get relegated, tbh

sorry i'm american, still struggling with the concept tbh

Responding to a question about foreign investment in the Premier League, Redknapp replied: “Where they find some owners now, I don’t know. I remember the first guy they brought in at Portsmouth from Saudi Arabia somewhere. He looked like they pulled him off the stall outside. He looked like the only Arab who didn’t have oil in his garden.”

I remember predicting in January or February that Arsenal and Chelsea would be 3rd and 4th and Tottenham 5th

and people did not believe me

I think Spurs must still have a chance of finishing 4th above Chelsea, if they can ever get any form back, but not really of finishing 3rd

Come on pinefox, you only have to match Arsenal and you'll be third. You have better players. This should be just a wobble, these have been hard games.

Chelsea still to play City, Spurs, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool + a Europa campaign.
Arsenal still to play City and Chelsea.
Spurs to play Chelsea and no-one else above 8th.

The fate of the top clubs will be decided by QPR. You've all got to play us. Time to rack up the goal difference, big clubs!

1. EURGH BBC FORMATTING THESE DAYS. I JUST WANTED AN EASY TO READ LIST LIKE YOU USED TO DO. I WAS GONNA C&P CHELSEA'S AND SPUR'S TOO BUT FUCK THAT NOW.

2. Everton next week is the only real worry there, tbh. I feel we are playing City at the right time, and at home. Stoke away isn't really a 'thing' anymore, is it?

3. Looking at the Spurs fixtures, their game against Bolton on 15 April is postponed. Anyone know why/care?

Could be to avoid the FA Cup semi-final? They're playing each other in the quarters

"coming behind to win for a record 4th consecutive game" isn't a great record to break, is it?

Yeah Arsenal away, Man United then and Everton away, then Chelsea, is about as tough a run of games as you can get at the moment, give or take a City here and there. We *should* be alright for fourth, the run-in isn't tough at all provided something doesn't snap in the players' heads and/or legs.

I wonder how early in the game Everton will be down to 10 men tonight?

I bet both Spearing and Adam are off before you are down to 10 :(
