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

the england b squad question is a thing and i will formulate a thread opener about it sometime.

If a bundle of near-relegates all hit unlikely form when needed what do we assume? Inspired management of the rythym of a team at the boss end of a season, slacking til now, the spirit of the trenches, ?

Everton killing it here

it's one of those words i struggle with, rhythm

Who's this guy on the interview?

first-team coach. Jol didn't fancy it obv

How many Europa League slots are there?

was that napalm death

Liverpool missed out finishing sixth last year, are Everton going to qualify from seventh?

Suarez' second gets better every time I see it

jol was sick today. he wasn't at the match.

how many lobs did he try?

he was looking for the fancy hat-trick

eh?gk should save, no crouch tbh

Ruddy doesn't exactly kill himself but the technique is sublime

Seamanesque

they've never heard of Rivaldo either

ugh what will it take to get stoke banned from football

^

30,000 fans with the genetic diversity of abt 17 ppl

was benayoun's leg caught there or not?

liam ridgwell still irresistibly hateful

was it yourself that drew the 'i am legend' goons

Is that truman capote

comparison before nakh?

hutton a better gk than rb or human

better door than a window

heh villa don't even *want* to score, bringing mcleish philosophy to brave new depths

"I'm not going to curl up and die"

eck refusing to 'curl up and die', presumably he's not willing to consider any fan request at all at this stage

unusually provocative question from the interviewer....

esprit d'iphonier

oh, gary

new depths from botoxed fuckface lineker

disanto's goal better than suarez's imo, but great hat-trick

taxi!

the internet tells me napalm death were on motd?

cockshrivelling stuff from the depthless ghoul

Lineker said that Stoke fans were abusing the player Aaron Ramsey
cos he once had his leg broken by a Stoke player?

GL says something like 'no need for that'

if I am understanding all this correctly then the lack of outrage at this is offensive
given the outrage that people in football are always announcing.

yes, but you need to balance it against the fact that arsenal don't like it up em and stoke are best of british, so any strong criticism might be construed as suspect in the mccarthyist uk footballing fraternity

cf lineker's mocking of wenger's frustrations at whitehead's flop being worthy of a free while stoke butchered their way to another premier league point to add to the other accumulated booty of their several-year voyage

missed the motd 2nd half but i award this a gold star whatever it's about

I didn't watch the game closely D-Mac, but I suppose I agree with your sarcasm insofar as it agrees with me

I have never liked Arsenal but please, attacking a player BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED BY SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM is barbaric. It's not a joke or 'ooh I don't think we need that'. I don't know why this acceptable when a lot of other crap notoriously is not.

have we forgotten so soon?

i agree fully with you PF!

i do think that the faint condemnation of stoke's thuggish crowd/tactics/existence can be contrasted very sharply with the fullblooded damnation consistently offered for 'foreign' offences such as diving, wenger complaining against roughhouse tactics, etc

holy crap di santo goty fuck a crouch

told ya during the match that stoke fans are fucking neanderthals, much like their team.

so martinez has wigan playing an italian 3-4-2-1 and is beating all comers? feel like we need to look further into this, 3 at the back seems like the future.

orlandi header was flyyyyy. wolves just don't understand why its called a backLINE huh they are all over the shop

this game is not showing vintage defending.

this has been p much the best week of football evah

wtf is with the hype for the manchester derby? gary just called it probably the biggest game in premiership history, the papers i looked at at work last night said in 1 that it will LOL be watched by more people than the world cup final like wtf where did you pull that bullshit out from and that the tuesday when you can talk about it at work will be 'the best day of yr life'. like srs, they said TUESDAY WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF THE READERS LIFE in the Sun because we can talk to coworkers about City-Utd.

its just gonna be a shitty 1-1.

anyone get a rooney-at-everton vibe from mcclean?

xp yeah, I was going to query that last night. I'm quite interested in it and will no doubt watch, but biggest game ever? It'll be a dour affair I reckon, and I'm not really looking forward to it as such. The deadening hand of a Monday night kickoff isn't helping either.

I don't even feel like it's as big as the first game between them. It feels like there's not actually that much at stake, y'know? Utd will still win the league even if City do manage to beat them.

I know Utd have the easier run-in, but if City win the derby, they just need to win the two games (unless Utd go nuts in a game) because of goal difference.

It's not out of the question anymore, I just can't see it happening. Happy to be proved wrong obviously.
