Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Call me a traditionalist but it's a bit late to be throwing a victory party for one tournament after you've already pathetically limped out of the next one?

Spurs would never have mustered such a feeble showing in the Champions League. That place was wasted on these scumbags.

Drogba got out while the going was good though

drogba p much was the going

maybe if all the Chelsea players touch their rings together and shout his name it summons his return

^

Perhaps they'll get together and celebrate that Champions League victory every year until they all start to die off one by one?

lmao

Is that Avram Grant?

Gary Coleman, surely. They just didn't have enough space for "Coleman"

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Craig?

QPR manager Harry Redknapp is considering a loan move for LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane, 32. The Republic of Ireland veteran played under Redknapp at Tottenham.

lol

if the phrase "do a job" isn't employed i'll be disappointed

with "can still" in front of them I'm sure.

arsenal wba or chelsea sunderland

arsenal are just fucking boring so it's got to be sunderland

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Cuellar, O'Shea, Rose, Johnson, Gardner, Larsson, McClean, Sessegnon, Wickham. Subs: Westwood, Campbell, Kilgallon, Colback, Vaughan, Bramble, Saha.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Mata, Moses, Hazard, Torres. Subs: Turnbull, Lampard, Oscar, Ferreira, Marin, Azpilicueta, Bertrand.

i} cuellar and o'shea is the sort of cb pairing that would have got annihilated by torres a few years ago
ii} oscar benched for the nigerian dirk kuyt is going to be a regla thing now i suppose
iii} this is going to be a lopsided defensive 4-2-3-1 like dunga's brazil with hazard doing the robinho role
iv} romeu needs to boss that lightweight midfield if he is going to become rafa's new jefecito
v} conor wickham bringing realness

nando with an excellent volley

Here we fucking go again. Oh Rangers.

Get so fed up of pundits ON ALL CHANNELS talking about Arry "taking a chance in the Premier LEague" with the boy Adel. If any of them had actually watched us, they'd know he'd been our best player this season, and our best player in the second half of last season.

romeu struggling with some injury so the ideologically unsound oscar comes in to deep midfield which apparently is rafas plan for him anyway

They seem to think Adel's the only person in the QPR who makes any mistakes. Rather ignoring every other workshy cunt who's played for us this year.

*in the QPR team*

The QPR. That's what I will call them from now on.

YOU BEAUTY RYAN NELSEN!

Penalty Arsenal, unforgivable dive from Cazorla

Arteta scores

Villa looking not like shit against Stoke. Winning headers in both boxes, decent midfield pressure.

Arsenal players don't dive, they are merely avoiding assaults from British brutish defenders

tried to copy the bbc liveblog update about benteke battling with shawcross

sounds like some real fuckin realness there in the cold west midlands

As we all know Wenger is fundamentally opposed to diving with every fibre of his being, it offends his sensibilities deeply, so I expect him to come out and condemn Cazorla in the strongest terms possible after the game

Rangers defending like in the good old Mark Hughes days.

sunderland looking alright now sessegnon especially

tried to copy the bbc liveblog update about benteke battling with shawcross

sounds like some real fuckin realness there in the cold west midlands

the commentators were stunned when Villa won three headers in succession in the Stoke box.

i approve of cazorla winning penalties however he wishes

this is cazorla we are talking about not some welsh tart or uruguayan remedial

^ Wenger must repeat this line

Sessegnon would be a good squad option for a motivated top 6 team right?

I miss Diaby. Never thought I'd say it but its true.

It was a pretty good dive in fairness xps - perfectly synchronised for the ref's pov as the boot swiped six inches past lower leg, yet leaving no doubt from the main camera angle.

Man oh man, Norwich 3-0 up at Swansea. Didn't expect this.. Worried (but not really) that Bassong might become our top scorer this season...

Unsurprisingly, it's getting tetchy at Villa Park.

Also at the Emirates, there're bookings and crowd noise and everything.

Oscar and Mata showing skills, lovely to watch.

crowd noise at the Emirates? Unbelievable.

Gervinho missing from ever-decreasing distances, he's on the six-yard line now

aiming towards an unprecedented miss when the ball's already over the line.

Another penalty for the Ox, legitimate this time

Bent is getting ready to come on for Villa.

Arteta scores again - ssoftly-hit straight down the middle both times

adam johnson tho
