Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

living off past glories

Barclays Champions!

Yeah congratulations. I'm kind of glad you wrapped it up tonight - I didn't get a ticket for Sunday and it'd've hurt knowing I'd missed the chance to skin you for a grand.

No questioning deserved champions lads.

will fergie call it at this?

Did Scholes retire again without telling anyone?

It's how he'd've wanted it tbh, iirc he's not the type to make a fuss

Great night <3

Meulensteen today btw said, when asked, he'd be ready to step up if Fergie leaves, but would also be ok with someone from 'outside' coming in. I do think the man has ambitions though.

Rapist Ched Evans has hired a private detective and is offering cash for evidence in a bid to clear his name.

The former Wales international, 24, was jailed for five years last April after being found guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman at a hotel in Rhyl, North Wales.

The ex-Sheffield United striker maintains his innocence and twelve months on, a website has been set up by family and friends.

Supporters of the striker said on the website set up in his name: “There is a significant reward for new information that can be used as evidence that leads to acquittal.”

Evans also revealed the prison where he is kept recently handed him increased privileges meaning he can sit alongside his girlfriend Natasha Massey when she visits him.

He described the step as ‘amazing’ and likened it to ‘scoring in the Steel City derby’ - the game between local rivals Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday.

"So there it is, United win the league with four games to go - last season City won it with four *minutes* to go"

Erm, no they didn't.

Yeah that's p stupid tbh

marvellous

holy fuck

BERLIN, April 23 (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze has agreed to join Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich next season, according to a report in Bild newspaper.
Bild said a deal with the Germany international until 2016 had been signed.

Munchen goetze

Damo Suzuki's portable vagina surely?

3 yr deal sounds iffy though

Was für ein Transfer-Hammer!

I'm curious if there has been any talk of Brad Guzan leaving Villa if they go down? It's been discussed over here a bit since he's still the US #2 and has finally managed to pin down a starting role.

Haven't seen anything Dan, but he'd definitely be worth a punt. Villa bods will know better than me, but I reckon he's been fairly impressive this year notwithstanding everything.

That said, imo Villa are a rare example of the relegated side you don't leave, with Lambert in charge and their squads of child genii bubbling under. I could see them charging through the championship and clinching promotion by Valentine's Day, especially if it bunches up like it has this year. Either that or they'll get kicked around weekly and hire O'Neill back, idk.

fulham seems more than plausible. southampton will probably be after someone too

never mind the gurn check out the outfit

is that boiler lagging?

Is he going to amount to anything? I saw Ferguson massiveing him up the other day - he's the future of football or something - not really my impression of how he's been developing.

he's not a midfielder. I think he could become a great centre-back though

thudd dropping heavy hints he's off to fulham, p much

An extended run in the team would also give Huddlestone a better chance of cutting the huge afro which has been growing at a rapid rate for over a year.

"If I had known it would go on for this long I wouldn't have made the bet."

a graceless enoug sentiment for something that's cost him the normal person equivalent of maybe 200 quid in a year tbh

Did Scholes retire again without telling anyone?

I've suspected this for a while. I imagine he'll be wheeled out for the last home game and they'll announce it then

I've been wondering what might happen if he just never scores for the rest of his career. He was a one-goal-a-season man even when he was playing week in week out.

southampton will probably be after someone too

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2313752/Luis-Suarez-bites-Branislav-Ivanovic-Suarez-wrong--Jamie-Carragher.html

Does Jamie Carragher have a regular column in the Mail? Anyway, in summary we shouldn't punish Suarez because:
I threw the coin into the crowd that time
Graeme Souness broke that Dinamo player's jaw off the ball in 1984
Robbie Fowler did the drugs celebration
Robbie Fowler gave Graham Le Saux homophobic abuse
Jan Molby's a drunk driver
Steven Gerrard had that nasty bother with the police even though he definitely didn't have anything to do with it or any case to answer so I don't even know why I'm mentioning him
Luis is maybe the only person in the history of Liverpool who is as good as me
None of any of this is as bad as what Lucas Neil deliberately did to me, although I don't bear a grudge obviously

Carra otm, except the 'only player as good as me' bit

There's a lot of shite talk being thrown around about legs just randomy breaking, i've seen it happen alright but never as referenced in these defences

Lolololololol

Lololololololololololololololololololololololololol etc

And im on a phone or id carry on

Ten match ban for suarez obv btw

Huh wait story just disappeared stand by

farce

Confirmed, tee hee

He plays his part in a farce p well tho

ridiculous

Ridiculous & also otm

let me get it straight then

biting > racist abuse >>>>> trying to end somebody's career/ability to walk

i think the idea is he was warned about future conduct for the racism, not "biting is worse than racism", but still incredible trolling from the FA
