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

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.

yeah when we argue the skill-set of pro managers then "dealing effectively with cocks" has to be a requirement, for better or worse

people like to talk about HR's great man-management

'sometimes you need to put an arm round a player'
'Harry's good with players'

I often thought he treated players poorly

don't know if this story is true, though

I think it is a fact that I said in about early Feb that Spurs would probably finish 5th, and various people laughed / mocked / said I was kidding

I thought that Arsenal would go on a run (they did), thought Chelsea would overpower us (they haven't, yet, except in the SF), did not at all believe that Newcastle would finish above us (feels like they will).

oh and I also thought we would hit poor form / collapse, though maybe not quite as consistently poorly as we have.

if i were kaboul i'd be unhappy about being dropped for gallas

Isn't he injured?

even so tbh

PF you are a veritable oracle

I think I am, DM, but like I say I didn't see Newcastle coming -- I repeatedly said earlier in the season that they would not last, cos it seemed an easy and robust thing to say; oddly it was not true

we'll still get 4th tho

even so, even the commonly held negativity of the spurs fan was nowhere to be seen at xmas, i'll never trust again

Newcastle will fall at the last hurdle I think, they've got to play Chelsea and then City who are back in with a shout of the title. And Everton at Goodison. If they get fourth after that lot they'll have thoroughly deserved it but I don't see it.

Chelsea will finish fourth.

OK, that sounds accurate.

no, chelsea will take a savage beating at barca and i'm not sure lampard's heart will take it. The ensuing puling over an RIP Lampard number 8 shirt will end in the 'tragic' drowning of the entire chelsea squad and staff in a wave of puke from everyone else

but in any case, no, chelsea won't get fourth

i think betting against newcastle is to ignore the reality of the good football they're playing with with decent, and relatively fresh, players. i say they'll finish third. arsenal fourth. i shall lol.

FWIW I reckon Spurs will draw with Villa, beat Bolton and then lose to Blackburn and Fulham. I don't think Gallas and King will be able to cope with Blackburn lumping it up to the Yak at all.

good morning spurs fans!

have city won the league or did united lose it?

citeh walked it in the end

notorious bottlers united notoriously bottled it.

yeah, i'm not sure what the narrative is now cos City bottled it originally but now we're bottling it. Dunno if i'm gonna be able for his derby

this derby even

Plenty more bottling to come hopefully. Bottleless races are a drag.

That should be races with bottle I guess, but it sounds wrong.

when is teh derby?

june 2

It's on next Monday a hoy

just watched the highlights. oof. welbeck should be in the england 11. also jelavic is dope.

brendan rogers ruining my love for him in one sentence, calling twp as 'up there with messi'

Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger have named an unchanged side in the league only twice this season, Roberto Mancini only once.

this is the key for me. think redknapp has done well within limits, but needed to rotate the squad a lot more. but the strength of the squad may have resulted in more losses during spurs good run. some of the loans seem really dumb, and they should have bought a cisse or a jelavic or someone in january.

welbeck/rooney combination goal y'day reminded me of cole/yorke at the nou.

Also felliani pass for everton's 4th was class.

yeah, it was eerily similar. It makes sense to play them as pair for England too.

michael cox says as much (re welbeck and rooney) in the guardian.

Wasn't this season the first time that Ferguson had fielded an unchanged side? Or is that something I dreamt?

someone needs to make a gif of motd's slow motion version of nasri's finger waging celebration. creepily long finger, moves like he was flinging around a stretch armstrong toy.

dunno i think in 25 years he has done it before once or twice

hopefully won't see Ashley Young again this season

Not even diving for England in the Euros?

sure, if he's getting booked for it

Had to laugh at Alan Green expressing outrage over Ashley Young's diving antics and saying that even if he did playing for England he would still be as outraged, yeah like you were when Owen and Gerrard used to do it...
