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

dimi is kinda singular and just wasnt cut out for playing alongside drones like park giggs valencia etc

he never rly worked with twp either, but his overall scoring record isnt bad considering how deep he played and how incredibly slow he is these days

the criticism that he filled up against the minnows is unfair given that he wasnt usually played vs the big teams (understandably) and hernandez and twp are doing the same vs the heaps of shite at the lower end of the table

he's deceptively slow, you think he's going to be deceptively quick but he isn't - I think that helps him. Somehow.

I actually like Berbatov. I don't always agree with the ILF aesthetes' unquestioning worship of certain players though

by which i mean, i suppose, that it should be enough that ferguson wastes the best years of one of the premium talents of european football through a natural/common septegenarian mistrust of the artistry of a genius in the ranks at the height of his masculinity and power without NN and other disciples of the gorbals gangster rewriting the history of the previous few years in an attempt to justify it.

there were times where he just looked lazy tbh i mean we gotta be at least slightly h here

slight h be demmed sir

Tbf one of Swansea's less-heralded achievements this season is un-Jonah-ing Wayne Routledge, so they've a bit of form in redeeming players who look to have shot their bolt in the top flight.

(cue them signing Stephen Hunt and Marlon King)

redeeming ffs

rescuing, maybe

respecting

replacing to his rightful throne as the classiest damned bastard in football

the shawxshank redemption

the shawcross redemption, ramsey autobiog

yes

how is marlon king doing these days btw

another great bruce signing

wor lad's done great in the ninth, three jabs a right cross and she's down lak

think i already mentioned we were fucked. surprised at utd taking their foot off the gas, there was another 5 goals or more waiting to be had yesterday. about 12 o'clock yesterday i suggested to our elliot that the best option wd be to nuke molineux and rebuild from there. good prospect for league 1 next year imo

does yr elliot also support the family team?

tragically yes

Yeah, more than anyone else in recent years, even Portsmouth ffs, Wolves' plight has the air of you-ain't-coming-back about it.

ironically we'll be a going concern in the bottom flight too.

EVEN BOBBY CHARLTON AND GEORGE BEST WOULD HAVE SCORED FOR MAN UTD TODAY AGAINST OUR POOR TEAM AND ONE IS 75 AND THE OTHER HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 7 YEARS.

WOLVES MANAGEMENT ARE CLUELESS

xpost But Wolves have been careful with wages, haven't they? One of the rare clubs that is in the black every year. On that basis, they'll be back.

we have been careful with wages, to the point where we don't seem able to afford premier league quality players

That's the size of it, isn't it? If you're run within your means and competing, you're overachieving.

All this said, I still thought you'd stay up 'til the WBA game. Even keeping Mick you'd've'd a chance. Bolton are now the shouldn't-go-down club though who knows how their season will pan out now. NB assumption that Blackburn's 2-point cushion (and tbf better players) makes them pretty much safe already.

i thought bolton wd go down before Muamba took ill, think what happened on saturday makes it more likely but you never know how players will react. still: us 20th, wigan 19th, bolton 18th

qpr have got to find a win or two somewhere

just realised i'm worried in case we do hold onto players when we go down

No point jettisoning them just as they find their level. The better ones.

i look thru the squad and they're either lacking ability or guts or both. one or two exceptions probly but jesus. and fuck knows what clown they'll put in charge.

weird to say this cos he's a cunt who goes missing for half an hour at a time but Jarvis is playing as well as anybody at the moment

QPR, Wigan and Wolves to go down. But Wolves at the moment look like a team beyond normal concepts of badness.

Yeah it's pretty fucking difficult to predict anything that will happen with Bolton at the moment. Could be galvanised, could fall apart.

I think Davies is strong enough a character to try for a 'lets do this for Muamba!' dressing room atmosphere. But then I also read a rumour that they might volunteer to drop out the cup because going back to WHL would be too depressing.

Surely though a 'oh fuck, football doesn't mean shit' attitude would be the death knell to the club. And also a p big kick in the balls to Muamba and his p extraordinary story leaving the Congo and becoming a star etc.

'football isn't important' is ok, short-term, as a general nod t'ward an incident like this, but yeah it's not really something an organisation with however many employees, fans, whatever turnover and whatever targets should ever really *believe* longer than a few days after the shock clears

bbc says slight improvements made with muamba :D

why was city-chelsea postponed?

Because Chelsea played an FA cup tie yesterday

Has it been? To when?

Also, what's this about Celtic being refused consideration for Championship/League One? Are they trying?

lol i forgot that. dunno why it is still on the bbc website as postponed then and not just eradicated until future-date.

they're playing on wednesday i think?

maybe they technically have to refer to it as a postponement

yeah it's wednesday

you really oughta look for an alternative to the bbc website man

i should. and i know they exist. i am just too lazy to sort my bookmarks out.

aw fuck it. boom. done. espn has replaced bbc football as my 1 click top of firefox easy news website thingy.

This thread's traffic already down 10%

Also, what's this about Celtic being refused consideration for Championship/League One? Are they trying?

I think it was reported in the Sunday Mirror. Celtic denied having talks. The English Football League Chairman denied having talks.

I think Celtic would jump at it if there was a chance, but there probably isn't. If Portsmouth and Rangers both completely disappeared from each league it might be more feasible but even then I think there's too much resistance.

Today we are being linked to... Del Piero

I refuse to click these links to see why the hell anyone would write such nonsense. Sure we had Suker for his last season but transfer story lunacy needs to die

Is there no footy tonight? I thought there was a spread of games this midweek.

Meaningless midtable clash between Roma and Genoa appears to be the standout.
