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

I'm guessing.

South Korea have allowed the Arsenal striker, Park Chu-young, to delay his compulsory military service for 10 years.

Kinda silly for 'arry to try shopping for Hazard now before sewing up third place.

Watching Fulham-Swansea ... what *is* Moussa Dembele exactly? He never seems to score or assist but I gather ppl rate him, and here he's playing deeper than most of the midfield.

I've felt that way watching him. He is like current Torres without the expectation imo. "Oh he did well running the channels and linking play and stuff. Didn't score though. Oh well, they've got the Pog for that." With Torres its not "they've got the Pog for that" it is "they spent how much and he doesn't score?"

was called away from my stream but Swansea are up by two now, a second goal for Sigurdsson, very smart fantasy buy pandemic made.

0-3 now, entirely down to Senderos' ineptitude, that was a worse sequence than I've seen even Djourou have in some time.

Dembele has been converted into a midfielder no?

Yikes.

This is what they keep saying here recently, too (he played for AZ before going to Fulham). He was a #10 or striker for AZ, Jol seems to try and convert him to a regular midfielder. I don't watch enough Fulham to see how that works out, but this week I did hear rumors that several other teams in the league are after him?

Whenever I've seen Fulham this season he has been too high up the field to be called a midfielder. But then he'd play like one out of position. Either way, omg Muamba, cant think about anything else in football right now.

xxpost -- thanks, was wondering why nothing here.

I <3 seeing ilx in different languages.

:-)

Too right though, it's all over the Dutch telly and radio news too

(not Dembele, but Muamba)

Interesting stat: this was Swansea's 12th clean sheets this season. Only ManU and ManC have more, 13.

the fuck's wrong with mulumbu

Valencia back :)

as clear a pen as you'll see

zubar should walk

rafael is lucky to be on the pitch, 30 mins and three dodge tackles in

zubar second yellow, unquestionable. Idiot.

Yup

both tackles so unnecessary too, cod commitment imo

Beautiful

oh cracking goal, rooney release and no fuss fifty yard run and finish valencia

fucks sake

Stearman is worse than malicious, he's just purely fuckin moronic. How does ref not call that

Good goal wellbeck, three nil

Lovely stuff

blood in the water, utd swarming

Valencia's just a proper old fashioned winger innee? Real opportunity to eat into the goal difference here

wish lennon studied him

Yeah (re: goal difference) - Ferguson usually gets the team to ease off in these situations and the game peters out, I'd rather they really went for it and banged in six or seven (sorry NV). Last time I thought that, City almost dragged it back to 3-3, but something tells me Wolves aren't going to do that.

complacency imo

I bet you a fiver Wolves don't win this.

There really is no reason whatsoever to ease off. I mean it's not as if we've got anything else to play for. Hope Pogba gets a decent run out though

What's it like, being able to say this sort of stuff?

it could be you

It wouldn't feel right. Keep it tight, close Wolves down for the first fifteen minutes, hope they overcommit and we can nick one and make the game safe.

wtf

Wolves aren't doing themselves any favours here, could have had three sent off by now for stupid fouls

this is classic ynahtid, lose in europe to technically superior side assembled at a fraction of the cost, then a crapshoot playing on the break vs the worst defence in the epl

valencia is in his element, just dont ask him to do anything innovated past 1950 and you'll be fine

46 min: Hernandez kicks off with the ball not on the spot. What with all this positioning of corners so the ball is outside the quadrant, what's this aversion to whitewash?

I've been wondering about this too? Every penalty gets delayed while the ball needs to get respotted too.

p

he's not playing against any defenders that have learned anything innovative post 1950

how can they even celebrate a goal as basic as that
