Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

I love him. But I'm pretty sure one of the reasons he's trying so hard is that he wants to be able to get out as quickly as he feels he needs to. So he can't risk playing like Boswinga.

that's... not the fairytale i'm reading

hahaha bobby not just eating lunch alone, not just driving home to have it after training, but eating it in his car

call me a naive fool who's been out drinking since 6 o'clock but i reckon Adel is a dedicated Ranger

GET INVOLVED
Jonathan Joseph Dine on Twitter: "If Harry Redknapp can't do a job at QPR no one can! Benitez is lucky to get the job at Chelsea but won't be there next season!"

oh the banality!

I do the odd bit of c&p'ing myself, but I'm concerned that at some point there's a critical mass where ILF stops pointing at these snippets and starts to become them.

Cattermole kicks an opponent approximately 5 yards away from the ball and holds his head in disbelief that the ref should consider this a foul. Dunno if I can stomach this tbh.

I have money riding on this unfortunately. Already regretting it

God refs just love flashing cards for dives that aren't dives this season.

weird moment

my god that's a shit free kick

Woof!

Just about to give up on this game as well

oh christ that is shocking keeping

i've turned off, is it bad enough to warrant having a look at half time highlights?

are they using a jabulani

the other way around surely -- the more numbingly anodyne and nultish the bbc's foregrounded user-generated content becomes, the more it resembles an ILX parody of the same

the whole notion is of course to be democratic, inclusive etc, these GET INVOLVEDS are chosen precisely for their lack of distinction

surely panel #1 should have been immortalised in bronze

Alas xp I can't remember who (was it mpx4a?) came up with the project of creating our own, with the idea that eventually someone'd strike upon something so unenlightening, so banal, that the BBC would actually accept it - and then had one published within about four minutes. Arguably the concept was exhausted that day.

Fletcher and Scholes in midfield. He's outdone himself this time

dude its qpr

the concept of parodying that which is incapable of being parodied will never have become exhaustible, for it is a priori null

I still have to watch it

fletcher will look disapprovingly at adel and esteban once and they wont be seen for the rest of their career

this reminds me of a few weeks ago drinking in a very quiet pub during that mid afternoon lull when nobody really has a good reason for being in a pub, and two middle aged laywers (seemingly) started talking about football, and then went through every EPL talking point so lucidly, efficiently and without any apparent idiosyncrasy that it was like being privy to sort of super-concentrated essence of football content from which every GET INVOLVED opinion-bantz derives

How many mins will Kieron Dyer last? I'm going for 36 before he limps off.

this is seriously one of the weirdest games i can recall, don't know what to expect

hughes' two already-dead underlings bring back everyone still around from the championship side plus kieron dyer

battling 1-0 or lose by double figures idk

why arent they on the pitch yet

Fox Soccer "The Red Devils, this storied franchise"

Cesar had the wrong tape on his socks
xp

some good coverage for mister potato on the electronic hoardings today, or is that now customary but i have missed it because i seldom watch games at old trafford these days

How can you get tape wrong ffs? Unless it's some tricky dribbler going for double-sided, that I could understand.

ref needs a batch script to book all 22 players for timewasting

I thought I wanted to watch this and then I saw United's midfield and just thought fuck it.

ashley young been having a word with scholes i see

jesus adel now is really, really not the time for a self-parody exhibition

I have given up on this. It could get hilarious either way but for now it is a drudging mess and I could be doing something much more productive, like sleeping.

the boy mackie's done triffic so far

was just coming to post that very sentiment.

mbia been watching bosingwa

lmao

Young diving again? (I'm only listening on the radio)

Or not - now they're saying it should have been a penalty?

was contact, just. But Ashley Young did his usual Suarez.

I can picture it

Henry Walmsley on Twitter: "Players like Dimitar Berbatov should not be on the same pitch as players like Huth and Shawcross."

when's kagawa back btw?

if young does that again i fully endorse any red card earned by giving him a slap

thought that was a great run by cisse, although it left mackie with a tough pass if he'd gone for it
