Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

gallas is pure shit

where do you get yr info ismael

ffs that's five years in a row iirc - can't believe you're our bogey team now

footballing principles win

tin cans & string directly from the ground

liverpool that unfortunte combination of impotent and unlucky yet again. sigurdsson for dempsey was a+ trolling by avb, at least neither did fuck all.

good day for spurs. chelsea, everton, arsenal, and west brom all dropped points.

the only thing i took away from tonight's game is that Rafael is the best right-back in the league

didn't see spurs-lfc, will watch it later. heard two accounts - that we were all over them and can be proud of how we played, and that spurs sat back, let us play in front of them and we didn't create much. which is it?

first half was spurs apparently, obv i missed it ffs

second half ye swarmed and were prob unlucky not to equalise

The former Swansea attacker joined the Premier League champions in the summer for £6 million but has struggled to hold down a regular place in the team ahead of the likes of Samir Nasri and David Silva.

But the 46-year-old assistant manager insisted, while Roberto Mancini will listen to the player's concerns, Sinclair still has a role to play as they look to defend their title.

"When a player comes to this club, they are going to have to accept they are not going to play week-in-week-out," he told reporters.

"When we spoke to Scott [Sinclair], he knew what he was coming into - that it was a big, big squad.

"The manager's door is always open to any player if they want to go and play like Adam Johnson did. But he seems happy."

xp. cheers. ah well, same old then.

Press: You do realise that with ten minutes to go with the game goalless, you have a £24m signing sitting in the stands. With respect to Jordan Bowery, are you more likely to get a goal from him or Darren Bent?

Paul Lambert: But you can't talk about ifs, buts or maybes. The reality is that we won. That's the game. I'll always make that decision. I'll make an honest judgement who plays.

Press: That's accepted, it's your head on the chopping block if you don't win. But just for the record, what's the problem with Bent?

Paul Lambert: There's no point me saying it again, is there? (Laughs)

some cunt acting

Gallas has to be the worst defender to make the big clubs/national team of the past 8 years.

aahaha that og is a classic

wait wtf wheres motd cant find it

it's on at quarter past eleven

8 years is a v specific estimate for gallas, why?

recall he was pretty awes for chelsea before arsenal ruined him, indeed i thought they did better out of the cole swap at the time

gallas were right good til he cried

"I like Darren. I've got no problems with Darren Bent," Redknapp said. "I just made a comment that maybe I shouldn't, when I said I think my missus would have scored when he missed a header that day. I can laugh at myself, I don't mind.

“The fans will get behind us at home and make it an intimidating place if we put the effort in,” he added.

“If they see people chasing, running and closing people down then they’ll get behind us.

“If they see people losing the ball and standing around then they are going to get the hump because they’re paying their wages and will think ‘hang on what’s going on here.’

How many of your summer spree d'you think will take the field in Harry's, say, third game in charge?

well uh most of them, there's only a handful of the old guard left anyway. mackie's first choice now, hill will stay in til january, faurlin will come in next to mbia if harry feels he can't risk diakite any more, traore will stay in ahead of fabio

the only one that really needs cunting off elsewhere is bosingwa but i doubt he will ever enrage harry as much as he does the fans

Be interesting to see if any of the loaned-out return in Jan. Not Barton, but DJC and Betty Bothroyd, specifically. Bothroyd always looked like there was a good player in there who was being ably suppressed by a cowardly, lazy arsehole.

not that i needed any further evidence but bothroyd is public enemy #1 in the blue side of sheff these days i heard

dj would be handy, the one i really want back is the iceman though :(

fucking moron hughes

France has done worse: Silvestre and Mexes both getting caps.

idk when dean richards lost his confidence it was fuckin ugly, how long ago is that now?
gary doherty was sold 8 years ago, nice timing
ah holy fuck antony gardner was still with us til 2008? come back gallas all is forgiven

Gardner began to impress during the 2003–04 season, and earned his England call-up as cover for Gareth Southgate in a friendly against Denmark in March 2004.[27] He won his first and only England cap against Sweden on 31 March 2004, after Sven-Göran Eriksson used him as a half-time substitute at the expense of John Terry; the Swedes won the game 1–0 with a 53rd minute strike from Zlatan Ibrahimović.[28]

if we're counting fullbacks it's lee young-pyo

by fucking miles

gilberto.....................................................

2003–2010 Brazil 35 (1)

gilberto hadn't the longevity of pyongli

dunno if spurs were a big club when gardner, gilberto or pyo were there

idk when dean richards lost his confidence it was fuckin ugly, how long ago is that now?

I think that the early stages of a debilitating brain condition that ultimately killed him might have had something to do with that.

Spurs defenders up until 2009 or thereabouts don't count anyway. Also David Luiz is still playing regularly for Chelsea.

not sure dean richards had been diagnosed under hoddle

I definitely remember mysterious injuries/illnesses starting pretty early, like 2003 or thereabouts. By the following year we'd signed Naybet and from then on he didn't feature much.

I've just done a search for 'Dean Richards' and wow I was a lot more Darraghmac in my younger days. There's one comment I feel particularly bad about in hindsight.

we were all a bit that way once, i wouldn't be so hard on yourself. millionaire footballers don't tend to be overfazed by stuff they don't ever actually read.

I probably shouldn't have called for his severed head on a shit-covered plate though. That seems a bit excessive.

i thought it'd be that one alright

tho iirc you said once he'd make a spurs worst xi ahead of gardner, which was my next guess

if we're counting fullbacks it's lee young-pyo

by fucking miles

Lee was picked for ESPN's MLS best XI this season and voted Vancouver's 2012 Player of the Year, fyi.

Let's not pretend that we're talking big club players here but Lee Young Pyo > Stalteri.

While you're around Nakh have you, or anyone else for that matter, seen much/any of Lazar Markovic?

I like the look of him, nice and girly. Between him and that kid at PSG, european footy might be in for a pleasingly shoegazey future.

never watched him xp but i know current (or former who knows) manager avram grant was raving about him a while back
