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

slept through the spurs tour bus passing us out en route to london on my school tour in 97

this explains a lot

A hoy's mention of davor suker reminds me that Maradona listed him amongst his 100 notable footballers, however the only thing he said about him was that he had the knack of making people think he had played much better than he actually had!!

Beckham was listed but in Maradona's opinion he "ate the hen that Simeone sold him at France '98". Whatever that means.

seems fairly self-explanatory

hard to argue with that

Barcelona seal Neymar move for 2014: report

Madrid: Barcelona have sealed a deal which would see talented young Brazilian striker Neymar join the Spanish club in 2014, Cadena SER radio reported.

The report claimed the Catalan giants have already paid 14.5 million euros ($19 million) of the total 58-million-euro transfer fee to the 20-year-old's Brazilian club Santos.

"According to several reliable sources Barca have already paid a quarter of the 58 million euros to Santos to guarantee the transfer of the player," Cadena SER claimed, adding that the date for his transfer was after the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

The report added that the decision to seal the deal was taken by the player and his father against the wishes of his agent Wagner Ribeiro.

Neymar is considered the future star of Brazilian football and has been targeted by several European clubs, including Barcelona's rivals Real Madrid.

neymarque un club

does his agent hate fun or something?

Intriguing. I didn't think he'd go to Barca, not that they're rigid 4-4-2 or anything but they're a definite 'system' club and Neymar seems a bit free-spirited for that. I'd assumed he'd make another rampaging Real type first, or maybe hook up with Spearing at Liverpool.

           Pique
Alves
          Busquets
     Xavi       Iniesta
Neymar Alexis Messi Villa Pedro

Wait, 2014? Why would they do a deal like that?

Neymar seems to have an odd attachment to his home country. He's said before he wants to stay there til the World Cup

Pique out, Mascherano can cover defensive duties on his own.

messi's going to russia though?

o i c - it's barcelona that hates fun, maybe his agent thinks his flair will become endampened?

I imagine his agent would like a massive bidding war

Can't wait for Real to weasle their way into the deal, making Barca wonder why the fuck they'd already paid £15m out for nothing.

henderson joke

what's odd about liking where you live?

i believe there was archness at work in the sentence onimo

tho SA superstars do, on the whole, tend to move to europe at least long enough to sign a contract with man city

ah right, I read everything with a naive innocence.

Chelsea have sacked budding Balotelli Jacob Mellis for setting off a smoke grenade in the dressing room.

where's he from? please say persia

close, Nottingham

^ thinly veiled swipe at multicultural britain imo, scottish littlejohn (weejock?)

they come to our country, stealing our pranksters' jobs

looks a bit like rosicky

looks a bit like the unfunniest thing in the world

just looking at some transfer figures, in paticular chelsea. didn't realise lukaku's fee could rise to ~18m (according to wiki). and ramires 17m?

Blackburn now closer to Villa than they are to QPR, albeit having played an extra game. Still have to play United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs, though. A win at Bolton would be huge.

spurs still have 3rd sewn up, that and the FA cup will be a very good season imo, even if we really ought to have finished ahead of the decrepit embarrassment that is utd

lol 3rd sewn up?

ya you 3rd it here first

What's happened? The Bolton game just what you needed to steady the nerves?

still think spurs can pip newcastle for 5th

idgi, r u guys srs

we're 3rd as is, with the hard games over. i'm not ruling out 2nd

bale and modric haven't really got going yet, tbh, and adebayor will start to come back into it with the expiration of (albeit loan) a contract, i'm sure

Reach for that rainbow, the manc clubs might cancel each other out.

and adebayor will start to come back into it with the expiration of (albeit loan) a contract, i'm sure

lol adebayor hopes

targeted adebayor hopes, not that blind pull-it-from-the-sky shit you do!

i'm not even confident, that's how sure i am of 3rd, i'm not actually bothered to be confident. i'm complacent, tbh, pure complacent.

easy to be complacent with a 1 pt buffer zone from your nearest rivals and a narrative that's only moving in one direction

'narrative' oh cmon is that what yr reduced to, pls

darraghmac delivering the module

lol

been a quiet day

Adebayor has proved time and again that he gets bored after about 4 months and do so again this season. You have to be trolling, right?

ah trolling is such a strong word

do i think we'll finish third, looking at us, ye, chelsea and remaining fixtures? yeah, i think so.

would i put a quid on it? nope.

will adebayor score 1 in 2 for the rest of the season? reckon so, but a lot depends on arry not fucking round with formations and rotating intelligently instead.

tbh, the more i look at arry's performance since capello rip'd the less sure i get. arry out.
