Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

misery is a wonderful muse for rtc imo

Wigan are like the cocky smart kid swaggering into an exam, claiming he only started studying last night. Really want them to fall on their faces this year.

oy that was me, in fact i bet that was p much all of us

Wigan just straight up getting a middling 2.2 and having to push trolleys round Sainsbury's for four years while they recover from the shattered confidence

Yeah I know. A bit of self-loathing is always apt though.

martinez alarm set for august every year, but he still wakes up in a panic at half february, fucked out his tree

it also grates a little that they beat Newcastle in the first place, they ought by rights to be more adrift but instead people are viewing their games in hand like this:

Nick via text: "People who reckon Wigan are going down this season. They have two games in hand. If they win them both, they'll be 13th."

Blackburn's parents pulled them out of school entirely for home tutoring a couple of years back; poor lambs currently shitting it about their resits.

there's an old gruff sub teacher sits alone in the corner of the staff room, every time blackburn's name comes up he interjects with an unwanted and chilling pronouncement that "it was the father or the uncle there, mark my words"

Tarbs definitely playing up the Infuriating Agent of the Trickster God stereotype so far today

GET INVOLVED

Dave via text: "QPR officially renamed BOO PR since that's all their fans have done since Zamora's sending off."

sexy

haha

this football club

that is a ridiculous goal

NOT SO CLEVER NOW SMARTY

Seriously, that's just about the best goal it's possible to score

Wigan frantically cramming on the bus to the exam

Coventry hanging about outside the hall, showing off its biro tattoo

go on wigan have another free kick

yep :/

there it is

lol.

QPR turn up to the exam with only five minutes left, leave a minute later.

shaunys free kicks are great

qpr dont even ask in advance now if there's marks for attempt

don't think I've seen an entire football club's season perfectly summed up in five seconds before

the fuck is kyle walker doing in that strip

Walker hardsonning Baines for Spurs' second was a peachy vision indeed

i take it you didn't see the rest of the match? he ran into him the rest of the afternoon, baines probably dived out of the fucking way by that stage tbh

no I was busy having a massive hangover. ah well, even a blind chicken finds some corn now and again, as the incredibly popular saying goes

kyle walker might not be the sharpest shiv in the nonce wing but he is so fast and relentless with the overlaps that he is worth the few brainfreeze errors per season

the ratio this season is fuckin alarmingly fucked tbh

The fuck is townsend doin still on loan btw

Remy goal totes deservin of john woo treatment

Last time i saw that 'marginal' bobby z move it had sid justice's fuckin boot on it

2-and-a-half count, just a yellow.

Lost count of the number of times today parker did the 'no, you first' routine with another white shirt while an everton player stole in, including mirallas's (excellently taken) goal.

didnt mention earlier how focused and efficient everton wete with the ball, but then it's hard to know how much of that was down to our backline (setanta lads very correct in lambasting vertonghen's defensive efforts today)

Also i hate hate hate osman, a guy with a surprising strike and a completely unsurprising rotten spoiling foul/occasional thuggish hit streak.

Murray playing without fear now, at the end of all things

Yeah re-alph, i would maybe burrow deeper and see if any of the francaises have geographical links or similar to the cité of limoux and the surrounding mountains, perhaps pardieu googled in a chummy getting to connaitre les lads fashion and happened upon yr cave drawings, sparking a crisis of intricate but catastrophic synaptic flares that can only lead to a startling regression from alan pardieu, smooth chinned and suited head of marketing and strategy at le tûne thru bearded alan pardew the coach (villa) to scruffy al what helps the kids (notts county) to neanderth-al in a loincloth (tactics at stoke obv)

Badran Mohammad Al-Shagran (born January 19, 1974) is currently a retired Jordanian professional football player. He made his professional debut in the Jordan League in 1993 for Al-Ramtha SC. He played 3 games in the UEFA Intertoto Cup 1996 for FC KAMAZ-Chally Naberezhnye Chelny.

Sczielny

Manchester United have sold the naming rights to their training ground as part of a sponsorship deal with the insurance firm Aon, the club's current shirt sponsors, estimated to be worth $230m (£150m).

The eight-year agreement with Aon starts in July – from when Carrington will be known as the "Aon Training Complex" – and is a further sign of the club's off-field money-making abilities.

Wtf

Hopefully it won't be long before we're playing in the Mr Potato Arena

Pardew said: "Tottenham is a difficult one, but we are going to go there with renewed vigour - we have some 'je ne sais quoi' in the team - and hopefully get something there."

mange tout, papiss, mange tout

Glad to see Big Sam back in his rightful place as the most successful English manager in the league
