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

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?

Nice to see LFC dominating the guardian's 'Flop Of The Season' category with 3 players in the 10. Good job.

Remember we had that flowchart thing that worked out how much of a glory hunting prick you were?

I'm West Brom or QPR depending on whether or not I want a rich owner. I think I'll go with the Albion. I will attempt to give a shit about them for a wee while.

Since I started "supporting" West Brom they've been a top half team. I'll wait to see who replaces the legned Roy Hodgson before deciding to continue my loose (baggy?) Baggie affiliation.

Tottenham dominating Game of the Season for the wrong reasons with two epic defeats and one draw.

@GaryLineker
@joey7barton Still raging then? Still kicking out? And still, presumably, misunderstood? But only by yourself I suspect.

burn

Of all the amazing things to happen yesterday, the Joey Barton sending off was my favourite. You couldn't ask for a more obliging pantomime villain to provide a last minute twist.

Also respect to the dude in the pub who shouted "philosophize that you cunt" really loudly.

this is such a great post

Was it Gary Lineker xp?

Lineker's burn on Piers Morgan is one of my favourite tweets ever.

Ooooh:

@GaryLineker do u wanna go there publicly "Mr Squeaky Clean" ? Think u should have a look in that vast closet of skeltons before u respond.

@GaryLineker I know a lot about THAT side to u the people don't and won't bat an eye lid at exposing u. So mind ur manners Squeaky...

this could be fun

it would need to be vast tbf

Lineker spotted with a giant bag of sour cream and chive kettle crisps.

McLeish has gone, by the way.

Good riddance. Useless cunt.

very strange how Twitter seems to have opened up such public aggression among famous people
surely not a good idea for either of them, as employees of big organizations

He has ??? Last night he was saying he'd be there next season!

how apt that the news should break with a 'by the way'

Pinefox - I doubt that's McLeish's call to make after the season Villa have had.

hardly even lerner's call tbh

that'll lernim

doesn't everyone know lineker's a shagger

http://fuckoffandscore.tumblr.com/

no I agree it shouldn't be McLeish's call
just think it's funny it should happen so soon

no I don't know that about GL, thought he was married to a young beauty

news reports about Twitter seem to consist mainly of cutting and pasting from Twitter

yeah I suspect that Barton's insider knowledge here is also available to anyone with access to Google or the ability to figure out heavy hints in tabloid news items

http://papercutsrekindled.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/we-all-agree-manchester-city-are.html

i believe downing was 15th in the 'chances created' table for midfielders, 20th overall.
