Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Woo! Equaliser from Defoe.

2-1 NUFC, more idiot defending to concede a pen. not impressed

AvB's excitement short-lived.

in Harry Kane Spurs have not only a fresh pair of legs but also the Prem player whose name sounds most like an early 00s nu-skool breaks producer

haw just changed dn before i saw that post

At least spurs lost. Welcome to hell.

Right then. Are we ready for some football (highlights)?

Oh my. Individual chairs? Oh my.

I do like Agger's 'Who? Me?!', as if the identity of the culprit was at issue there

Despite everything Liverpool were a little bit unlucky with finishing & decisions today. But fuck another season blaming luck, frankly.

That second Michu goal's a bit special.

Also, QPR being rent asunder by Wayne Routledge, de Guzman pinging in quality set pieces... This Laudrup at Swansea thing might just work.

going on the basis I'll never get to say this again - ingenious stuff from Steven Taylor there.

we. are. top of the league. say we are top of the league.

Nice shot of Jason Roberts in his meeja suit in the background, there.

Which Premier League manager most reminds you of your dad?

great collection of training camp tans on the touchlines today

motd

ahh clarke looks like a scary 1800s ventriloquist baby dummy

rodgers a boglin, doesnt really cut a figure on the touchline does he

liv seem to be lacking the siggy / michu decisive point man that gerrard used to be

both pens ridic tbf

this is a really fun motd, hopefully setting a standard for the rest of the year.

lol pardew is a dick

ok here we go with this

spent the rest of my evening responding to enquiries in a state of grinning shellshocked hysteria fyi

so this is what happens after a nouveau bullshit preseason selling shirts round the globe and just vaguely getting dudes fit, obv no hard work on the training ground, probably no idea what team's best (djibril on his own up front?), everyone just being wankers basically

would almost be happy it was this bad were it not for the knowledge that hughes will just buy more dudes rather than think too hard about it. probably gonna have to wait til after the transfer window for improvement

oh and one more time, fuck rob green. not even a comedy calamity gomes thing, just consistent all-at-sea what the fuck are you doing wake up you cunt as if we got him out of bed at 5am to play

made coffee missed most of spurs

vdv had a beard there right? agl

"that give us the edge" seems like an archetypally pardew statement

hate fulham tbh

idk about you guys but backheel nutmeg assist screams hubristic relegation come the end of the season imo

i dont think vlaar is a footballer

he should be a mid level crony villain in a jason stathom movie

yeah totes i was just thinking i like the look of this guy

I was only vaguely watching last night 'cos I was working - but Swansea missed half-a-dozen gilt-edged on top of everything else, is that right?

lol big sam's book report age 11

klata - yes! it was ridiculous, like playing a 4 year old at fifa.

oh federici. you are making rob green look like safe hands on this motd.

reading's kit is AWFUL. wtf is two fat hoops?

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

Look out for #SaintsFC drinking new Lucozade Sport Elite on-pitch today. Designed for players with the FA and Premier League. #SportElite

The bin at the bus stop by my house got blown over recently, and like 95% of the spilled contents were Lucozade bottles. I had no idea it was so popular.

its good for driving lessons. aside from God and my family, id say lucozade was the key factor in me passing my driving test.

bring back the cellophane

btw am i the only one who thought defoe was offside for his goal y'day? Probably.

Downing was waste y'day, i'd rather have suarez on the right of the front 3 and carroll at CF. There, I said it.

Gazzetta is reporting De Rossi has agreed to join City. Noooooo

Just in time for their 3 CBs experiment.

ooh hazard beautiful turn and pass for chelsea goal

Can Wigan go down at halftime?

Ramis is aiming for one of the great debuts here

Hazard causing all sorts of problems in the first 8 mins! It is only Wigan though, so not committing too heavily to his bandwagon. Ramis looks like a total flatfoot, not what you need in the first 10 minutes of your debut.

that's premier league form team wigan to you.

this ramis fella doesn't even have the right name on his shirt. ivan ramis = n. ramis?

this is spain repaying england for jonathan woodgate's debut extravaganza

that's a penalty

yah, shoulder barge when the ball not in playable distance

hazard must think this lge is a piece of piss

this ramis fella doesn't even have the right name on his shirt. ivan ramis = n. ramis?

Every time i watch a match reffed by Mike Jones i have to play "Still Tippin'"

look who creepin'
look who crawlin'

mike jones' second album also features a couple of productions by mike dean

really? haha

i wouldn't say he's got the internet going nuts but there were a few puzzling decisions in that half
