Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

at the risk of sounding ungrateful, Bale having a great game playing through the middle and/or on the right does kinda make you expect a run of eight games or so where it's a profoundly unsuccessful tactic

otm

at least it gives me the sneaking suspicion that we're missing out in terms of balance, but with ekotto on the left and lennon playing as well as he is down the right, really it doesn't much (tho i'd still prefer to see ekotto and adebayor back fully fit and in form before i decide that it is a viable long-term tactic)

Any of these second halves worth watching?

arsenal have destroyed sunderland one-nil, you know perfectly well what happens next

hows that not a penalty!!!

Wilshere limping off, Diaby limping on

Ah, Fletcher has to bury that. Ridiculous by Ramsay getting caught in possession thusly.

Living the fucking dream, Rangers. You useless bunch of cunts.

JENK OFF

i have my doubts that danny rose is a left back but he's very useful rampaging forward

He's looking like a world beater against this Arsenal right flank

rip

was that the noise his hamstring just made

Did Puncheon just wipe his arse in celebration?

he took a shit during a game recently iirc

How could I forget?

ah, I can smile again (until city come back to win 3-2)

why oh why didn't I put that fiver on Southampton when I thought about it? bugger

YES

FUCK YES

What in the fuck was that

What remains to be decided this year?

• one(?) CL spot between three
• two relegation places between six

Every time I see Southampton I wonder how on earth they're so low in the table. Their 1-1 with Arsenal earlier this season was the most ineffectual I've seen Arsenal in a long, long time

cork/schneiderlin might be the best epl non-top-4 epl cm, compares favourably to mccarthy/macarthur and even britton/agustien/de guzman/idk

Rickie Lambert is the English Zlatan

Slightly on the verge of tears a bit. Everyone around us loses, and we don't. We do the champions instead. I've looked at the run-in and there's all manner of potential banana skins, but we could be mid-table by next Sunday. Bloody hell.

all the story needs is resolution for adkins

espanyol shd hire him

He gazumps the supporters' trust for Portsmouth, leads them into liquidation

most fun I've had at SMS this year, bloody hell, that was epic. we're going places. even handing the title to utd can't take the shine off :)

Take the shine off??? Surely it just adds to the whole joyous experience?

i suppose someone has to win it

The sight of the Reading players trying to mark the Stoke blunderbusses is quite upsetting.

Only seen the first two soton goals so far, joe hart can expect a call from that match fixing investigation

Some finish from dzeko, that

Lol what am i sayin saw barry og earlier, all 'dodgy' looking goals really

Rickie Lambert is the English Zlatan

this does makes a nice change from the grant holt comparisons

I wouldn't like to be Hart or Barry right now, imagining the shredding they must have taken on motd.

Oof, 'a bad day at the office' - I'll say!

How was I unaware of this guy? Former Reading keeper Marcus Hahnemann, Manchester United keeper David de Gea and the ex-Tottenham stopper Kasey Keller are all apparently big metal fans. But my all-time favourite is Dario Dubios, the Argentinian who played in full corpse paint.

Didn't know where to put this so I'll put it here as it's pretty lolworthy.

Both The Independent and The Mirror are reporting about a batshit story about Andy van der Meijde having warned Royston Drenthe when he came to play for Everton about temptations like sex and drugs. And that, now that Drenthe has gone to Russia, Van der Meije even checked out the girls for him in Russia there, reporting: "“Nothing to do. Ugly women. The coast is clear.”"

The source of the story is a satirical, Onion-like piece on a Dutch website that is completely made up.

Best language!

"stevige ... taxi ... ik hoor ... skiën op cocaïne ... phil kollins ... smekt de dj ... o man, o man" - really makes the story come alive imo

uh

Shit running right out of Villa at the end here - and there's a late og to make it worse.

woohoo! 3 points!

god even when villa somehow hold out it feels like watching someone kicking a puppy.

Jones in for Carrick. Could be ugly

A Villa win is the pity fuck of the EPL.
