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

g-man 2x

ya

here's how you do it son

his jump/punch celebration was immense

another red there

absolutely red for fellaini there ffs

you're an embarrassment Carroll

carroll's playing well, passing it brilliantly

Suarez was likeable tonight, until that

pretty sure dowd was reaching for his red there, couldn't find it in his arse pocket and just went with yellow

I was referring to Carroll's penalty "shout". That was worse from Suarez though

how many elbows does Gerrard get away with per match now?

divided about that from stevie g

Carroll peno shout looked .... a peno? imo.

the size of him like

carragher is so fuckin camp

3G

Told you.

gerrard hat trick tbfttl

I'm getting a really good feeling about next season

can he start being good again now, please

xpost me too actually IK. it's seldom I'd say it but I think Liverpool could make a "genuine shove" for the title next year.

told ya. first time andy carroll's looked like a footballer for 90 minutes, and a very good one at that.

A size 10 Adidas Predator X boot stamping on a human face - forever.

In other news, I see Jermaine Beckford scored twice tonight. Ha. Ha.

damn missed this. suarez and gerrard linked up beautifully for two of those goals. think henderson has been better than adam tbh this season. downing's got 0 assists this season. although maybe you can blame carroll for that.

blame kelly tonight for it

it'll be awesome if Downing makes it through the whole season with 0 goals and 0 assists. I'm rooting for him

got one against oldham in the cup if that counts

henderson's shown glimpses of real quality and is worth perservering with. adam has been exactly what i expected he'd be when we signed him. billy big bollocks shots from the halfway line, decent tackler but a generally shite defensive game, the odd sexy pass, daft 40 yard passes that the receiver can't do anything with, and an unreliable short passing game.

ironically this has freed up Stevie Me from his traditional role

no masch in club

Relegation would hit QPR hard financially because most of this season's big-name arrivals signed lucrative deals which do not include relegation clauses.

Full story: the Mirror

how are there teams still stupid enough not to put relegation clauses in contracts?

Roberto Carlos hopes to sign both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.

Full story: Marca (in Spanish)

Do we have a lol venkysanzhi thread yet?

DON'T DO IT LIONEL

cron you can do what the fuck you like

just tried to make a joke about which of the spurs first xi i'd like anzhi to show unlikely interest in, and tbh i struggled....

Bale, maybe?

Can see them going for Bale and then maybe Walcott.

They're currently outside the Europea League placings but i'd expect them to get the points to finish in the top six. Still a long way from challenging for the league next year though.

Their biggest problem is that, as was seen with Hulk and Pav, even vast amounts of money aren't enough to persuade the best players that commuting 1500km to home games is a good idea.

I get the feeling that the vast amounts of money at Anzhi are going to blow up the ridiculousness pay scale. They seem like a club that will make Roberto Soldado the first million pound p/w player or something.

it's time for downing to shine in russia

so Ferguson has supposedly been watching Hazard then. Of course it'll probably turn out he was actually there to see some Obertan type.

I can totally see Anzhi being Adebayor's next club

you don't just turn someone into the new John O'Shea over night though tbf

Which player do you think has been most influential in the Premier Leagues's 20 years?

And this means... what?

it means "how can we shoehorn a question that ryan giggs would be the answer to?

Giggs has played the most games for the most successful team in PL history. It's simple maths really.

imo it's a bit of an indictment of Giggs that he scores less than 100%. It's the sort of leading question where they might as well pre-print his name on the reply form.

Oriel Romeu 6%

huh?

bale robbed in young player category tbh

full backs robbed in defender category

who is the most influential player in the premiership who has allegedly cheated on his wife with a former miss wales and then took out a superinjunction about it?
