Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

97% of the sides i see playing the modern systems could do with a real direct handful like kone

wigan looking neater and neater, spurs pretty feckless

when's scott parker back, he is very needed here

is it thudd/sandro today?

i was about to say where's lennon too but i suddenly see he's on the pitch apparently

not one single peep down the whole right side for spurs, walker probably not chancing it after the moaning

siggy came on for sandro but he's completely anonymous and out of tune with everything as you now expect

my options this afternoon were watch some football or go out and buy a screwdriver. i have chosen poorly it seems

i've missed this to go pick out a saddle. only available options in halfords were pletherette shite, cracking on a similar type of thing is why i'm in the market. may well splash out on a brooks, pricey but quality for life.

promise that was an xp

Until you mentioned Halfords I had visions of Hatfield McCoy Dmac

cf posts that hint at the poster's rich, fun-packed, fulfilling life outside of ilx

Bespoke saddles were a thing last time I passed through Shoreditch; £130 will secure you a decent leather model iirc.

i recently got irrationally angry while overhearing some chump talk about his £300 handlebars, which were his second set because the previous ones had been stolen.

"irrationally"?

well i don't have that much anger in me, i should save it for better occasions.

you can pay 7 quid for something not worth having, and 80 quid for the guaranteed-for-life top quality model, i'm in the twilight zone of not knowing how far along that sliding scale in between counts as value for money

cuuuunts

i mean fuck ye spurs, ye're a long way far past value for money on that scale

gallas you are an amazing chancer fuck the fuck off

wigan score!

screwdriver purchased from amazon!

gallas was statuesque in defending there

you don't know what it means, don't use it you clown

ade on for defoe to a chorus of boos

defoe off

i dont think this is what an attacking substitution looks like, take of siggurdson please he has been nought but shite for us, or gallas

ffs when exactly does this thing need screwing in?

bale cbf'd, hook im

gallas is a disgrace, sack im

sigurdsson isn't fitting in, don't play im when it matters

defoe is not working in front of a midfield without dembele, adapt

avb is not doing great stuff lately imo

Embarrassing result today considering the rabble we were up against. Quite pleasing seeing Wilshere get sent off though.

Loving these 2 posts!

Final Score pundit Garth Crooks

On Everton's second: "Fellaini bullied Aaron Hughes - literally bullied him. He brought it down on his chest and buried it into the net. Half time has galvanized Everton."

Look frwd to MOTD to see what a literal bullying looks like. Did he take his lunch money off him?

I would allow that use of literally

yeah i'm retrospectively even more pissed off than i already was with hughes for setting us up to "contain" that abject load of shit last week

"big players" mentality only breeds deference ultimately

heroically i shatter the illusion of busywork that is life

idk why u cunts havent been watching swansea

dean sturridge co-commentating this is really cracking me up with his constant "real thunderbolt from the honduran", "great save from the oman international", "good block from the barbadian"

like a load of park-dwelling kosovars, chelsea have been roasting the swans in a crudely abject yet ultimately effective fashion

and now the swans are fighting back

FA CUP UPDATE
Former Reading, Bristol Rovers and QPR midfielder Michael Meaker is on for Yate Town. He is 41.

lol omg

u beauty

friedel p clearly literally bullied for the wigan goal tbf

Does O'Neill ever get any stick for the job he's doing at Sunderland btw?

Having said that I see LFC are a massive one point clear of them.

sunderland obviously need to buy more british players who will fight harder for the cause

nandez >>>>>>>> nando

avb has fallen back into his crouching stance habit i see

Getting sick of these draws. EFC had 26 shots at goal at Craven Cottage.

Tomorrow's now such a massive game for Liverpool's season. Win and they're plausibly still in the group hunting for fourth. Lose and it's the group hunting for 17th.

4 pts off fourth with a win! Incredible.

avb out for home games. So many shit points dropped after just not turning up. Really poor decisions and effort out on the pitch, really bad calls off it.

so fuckin listless. Redknapp could point to that lack of fuckedness and rightly say it wasn't a fixture under him, but it's come up again and again this past few months.

Thudd's not comin back from the injury, is he

i think it's possible huddlestone just isn't as great as we all hoped

how long before the West Ham fans turn on Carroll?

Everton had more shots on target y'day, 15, than Sunderland have managed all season,13.

In fairness that's a whole game; Sunderland are almost certain to exceed it once they've had a whole season.

I do wonder how O'Neill's reputation is going to survive this though. Before you were guaranteed a refreshing start before settling into functionality and eventually a dead end. Here he seems to have taken the spark out of a Steve Bruce team.

there're times when you have to allow nakh his due, and a few others besides iirc

i just hope i don't have to start agreeing with chelsea fans over avb tbh
