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

Wiki tells me Campbell arrived in March '99, on loan, and scored 8 in 9 games!
Eventually lost his place to some youngster called Wayne Rooney, never made it iirc.

Spurs are officially uncatchable now btw, it's no St Totteringham's day but congrats to you lot I suppose

I think that even Spurs fans have evolved beyond 'finishing above LFC' = a good season. But congrats anyway.

Where's that Newcastle thread that made an appearance at some point last year? Didn't we have one Newcastle fan? Kudos to that dude.

Connor: we have to be competitive the last 3 games ... because league rules demand it.

Tyno AsPOLLia: Songs of the Great River

Are they gonna dock them points if they under perform? Who could even tell?

Btw am pouring one out for Mr NV.

lol on googling I am disappointed that the M Knopfler poll option is not in fact one song

SportsDirect @ Official Newcastle United forum - FA Cup winners 2011/12, Europa League here we come!

Can't believe I was actually undermbitious for them!

Ah, missed all the SuperKev chat, I was Wii Boxing with the girls ("Fight him in the face, Dad!"). Yep, as above - spring '99 was when he arrived and saved the season. First two-thirds of 99-2k was in a similar vein (we were 7th at the end of Feb, Kev-Fran had provided 18 goals, only Man Utd were outscoring us as a team) and then it all fell apart.

Feeling for Noodle Vague right now.

today was more in the nature of a relief, getting the finishing blow done and not fucking up City's title challenge. we all knew they were relegated 2 months ago - at least.

now all that remains is to employ some terrible journeyman manager and maunder away with the remains of this shitty squad in the Championship for a season or two until Morgan gives it neck.

is purslow still hanging round?

nah but seriously, you reach a point where you're actually, briefly, optimistic because you think maybe there will be some thought and a plan to go forward and something to feel good about it, and at least we're not due for administration any time soon.

are you still talking about wolves?

i am now but

maybe Steve Morgan's been so depressed by Liverpool this season it's distracted him from trying to keep the club he owns in the Prem

is the stadium redevelopment still going ahead?

it's done, shd be open for the new season so there'll be plenty of space

Feeling for you bro

Commiserations, Noodle Vague. Fear for crowds at Molineux next season unless you get a flyer. Was surprised by how many empty seats there were today for your decider, even given it was on the telly.

jelavic's header was great. i think rooney took his with his face. i still find rooney with a hairstyle to be a bit distressing, but i understand if he doesn't want to muss it up.

danny welbeck is a very talented player

could well replace rooney if they have the sense to get rid of that fucking parboiled pig foetus and his slimy entourage

love it

welbeck and carrick linked v well

i was hoping id expressed my high regard for welbeck before that

hes still a work in progress but he just doesnt look like yr average english centre forward at all

dea gea wasnt completely played cuz they were some fine finishes by everton.....but still, he was maybe a bit playable today

I do like him but he's entirely melded with Sturridge in my mind and Sturridge was rotten yesterday

well as yr boy michael cox sez, di matteo likes to have sensible disciplined types on the wings (kalou/ramires) whereas vyaszb'wasz was happy to have sturridge doing his sulky poacherr routine in the inside right channel

first ever ILX mention hidden in a misspelling:

Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics) wrote this on thread Liverpool won't be on dis ting 2008/09 on board I Love Everything on Nov 15, 2008

Let's all get overexcited about Danny Wellbeck.

I do like him but he's entirely melded with Sturridge in my mind

I don't see the similarity

sturrbeck

welbridge

I proposed that pair as two-thirds of an England front III, with Rooney, and now I can't remember which is which. Like Jason Wilcox and Stuart Ripley, or any German club side that isn't Bayern.

stuart ripley had stupid hair iirc maybe it was spiky or something? jason wilcox i can remember absolutely nothing about

paul warhurst, who was paul warhurst

FORMER Blackburn Rovers player Stuart Ripley is looking forward to quite a different career after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) this week with a combined honours degree in Law and French.

Stuart, who hung up his boots in the summer of 2002, won the Premiership with Blackburn Rovers in 1995 and also played for England during his spell at the club.

He now intends to continue his studies at UCLan's Lancashire Law School, with a postgraduate Legal Practice Course.

'alan as you well know it's a results business'

colin murray's gentle trolling is comendable

talented

i remember ripley, warhurst and wilcox from my sticker album.

Premier League team of the year: Joe Hart (Man City), Kyle Walker (Tottenham), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Leighton Baines (Everton), David Silva (Man City), Yaya Toure (Man City), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Scott Parker (Tottenham), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd).

aguero over twp, cabaye or tiote or modric over parker

not modric.

Ekotto over baines, and i'm sure there's a rb in the league can defend?

Just watched the Connor post-match interview - saddest thing was when, despite clearly being on the verge of tears, he somehow remembered to call it "the Barclays Premier League".

Good to see Man United get the recognition their table topping form deserves.

ivanovic, sometimes
sagna, mostly

xxp

ferguson as moty is the only recognition any individual deserves there tbh

yeah, sagna's seemed to have had a good season i thought?

Clint ahead of parker, bale, rooney

def dempsey

Even the PTOY doesn't think of Bale as a winger anymore. Harry your job is done.

sagna was injured for 5 months

So apparently Redknapp has had a training ground row with Adebayor which resulted in him refusing to play at QPR, and he's completely lost the dressing room and ended up in arguments with Lennon, Kaboul and Walker of late.

Dunno if it's true but has the ring of credibility to it. All concerned are cocks obviously.

if i were kaboul i'd be unhappy about being dropped for gallas, lennon should obv be in the team, adebayor shouldn't be signed permanently, walker prob v unhappy at not having any cover in front of him this past three months.

If i got a hold of harry i'd row with him too.
