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

"that's not dribbling, that's running" - Capote on Ben Arfa

It reminds me more than anything of Maradona's second in THAT match so I take your point.

Good GotS though, refreshing lack of usual suspects/standard order wellyings.

kudos mencap

was thinking more of a Sunday league versh of that one Weah goal

what now?

gorgeously bathetic appearance of venkychicken beneath martial strings

i never jest in the football threads

by Shearer's logic you would never pick an uncapped player if you could pick a capped one

mind you, I've decided that I would take Carroll

though I think this sounds daft, and he's a lumbering oaf, and I didn't like his handbags session today.

"that's not dribbling, that's running" - Capote on Ben Arfa

One for post of the season, that.

not jesting but clowning

Norwich win - report all about Villa

--- "That was an unacceptable performance in Aston Villa colours and I have to change that, and there will be change," said McLeish

- but this is the team he has been coaching all season

Carroll has to go to the Euros, I don't know why it's even a debate. Well, I do really.

barton bringing content atm

just got back from the pub and i've only skimmed the thread but petty, petty stuff from Local Garda. Well done City. Quite a day

be fair, closest lfc fans come to league glory is utd not winning it iirc

A+

Carroll has been shocking all season and shouldn't be anywhere near the Euros. Ricky Lambert deserves it 10 times more than the former cornrowwed oaf.

So, did Dalglish deliver the module or not?

Why would you take Carroll when you could take Grant Holt, who I don't rate that much but he's been a much better oafish big man all season?

Hopefully this title victory will mean everyone can stop thinking of City as plucky underdogs and start hating them as the slave state oil spunk they actually are. At least the fans have stopped wearing tea towels on their heads.

Shame as I really like Aguero, Silva, Yaya, Kompany et al. But I still haven't forgiven Balotelli for that stamp against Spurs.

if dalglish claims that's a decent season will he be guilty of trying to lower expectations etc like hodgson apparently was?

Spent y'day in the pub, was a treat catching up on this thread. Good game lads.

Not to pile on unnecessarily here, but at least Souness's LFC in '92 finished closer to champions Leeds than they did to the relegation zone. Dalglish's side have just finished 16pts clear of the drop zone but 17pts short of the top four. With the worst Anfield record since 1949 and the fewest league goals since 1971. And yet...they seem to create huge quantities of chances. And, y'know, play good sides off the park.

Downing apparently doesn't create chances, if he has 'no assists' all season.

So what...does he do, exactly? Perhaps he assists the assisters. He's more of an enabler.

Downing creates lots of chances but gets all the zero assists zings because other players waste those chances. It would be interesting to see how many downing passes/crosses led to shots that were saved/off target - might give some indication of why he's still in the team.

a youtube of his crosses, were it to have a theme song, would be matched perfectly to the title & bewildered pathos of mccartney's 'for no-one'

hahaha, that must happen

In many ways his job is to create a 'space' in which people (key skill colleagues, touchline managers, assistance delivery teams) can flourish by using their talents in a team setting that emphasizes diversity and togetherness.

bale and modric spent a long time in that spiritual desert while supplying crouch- their 'chances created' opta stats were amongst the highest in the league.

a team setting that emphasizes diversity?

suarez is from south america

i dint want to say nuffink tbh

Anyway I've long fancied trying to snap up Adam Johnson, he'd be worth a shot where Downing, Kuyt and Bellamy have been hitherto. I doubt City will be letting anyone else go who we could use.

and togetherness.

19 hrs behind everyone else and having managed to remain blissfully ignorant of y'days doings, have this morning caught up.

Blimey.

Not sure which was worse, Joey Barton or Marton Fulup.

At least I can watch the CL Final safe in the knowledge that a Bayern defeat whilst disappointing would have a silver lining attached.

What silver lining would that be?

ya u fucker

Chelsea are rich anyway whether they have CL money or not. Spurs not making CL may perhaps have an effect on their revenue and mean the team is weakened or that the quality of new signings they could attract be poorer. This would be good for lfc, though seeing as we were 20 odd points behind Spurs this is clutching at straws. Still, clutch I will.

ah stop man stop, we've nothing to do with the likes of you no more be off and bother the fulhams, the evertons

get off my lawn with your boombox, my daughter is with someone better now

we've switched to vodafone, the coverage is better, could you please take us off the database

Hahaha. It really needs no more justification than 'because lol', everyone would understand.

I actually thought Pandemic was a Spurs fan, which explains my confusion.

Deutschland Deutschland uber alles anyway.

If Chelsea win it'd be a fucking disgrace

All those years of unnoticed brotherhood that pandemic's just pissed up the wall

damn, if I'd realised that my affiliations were unknown I'd have claimed to be City thru and thru
44 years y'know *tearful gulp*

Still only 20 years to go eh?
