Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

i dont hate stoke for the crazy fouling so much as hate them for their reaction to every cynical fuck foul. "I ONLY PUSHED HIM OVER REF FOR NO BLOODY REASON, IS THAT A CRIME NOW? THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON NOW YOU HAVE GIVEN A FREE KICK FOR ME KICKING HIS SHINS" etc.

4-4!

Finally found a sequence to match this from Everton:
28/2/64 Aston Villa (H) 4-2
7/3/64 Spurs (A) 4-2
14/3/64 Nottm Forest (H) 6-1

48 years.

If there isn't a last-minute nude parachutist at West Brom, I'll've wasted my afternoon.

Benny Noon had a decent penalty shout. It was at pace and Whelan (I think) puts his arms on his back. Benny went down v. easily and dramatically though, when he most probably could have had a good shooting chance if he stayed up.

so i picked a good afternoon to take the kids swimming, basically

Ball over the line for West Brom and not given apparently? (I couldn't bear to keep watching). Villa having the luck today. Typical of them to cash in by drawing 0-0.

that cd wind up being a massive point for Villa. surely McLeish has got to go this summer?

Hutton handled off the line earlier, then I'm sure it was him headed off the line a few minutes after that too.

Looked like Given had his leg along the line. Definitely not conclusive. Definite deliberate hand ball in the box on a shot that would have been a goal for West Brom earlier.

Overall, Villa kicked the crap out of them (4 or 5 yellow cards, all legit), and West Brom should feel like the ref screwed them pretty hard.

poor seb coates must be wondering what he has to do to get a game. wait for carra to retire i guess.

Cuellar boss

just calculated that mcleish' teams have scored 151 goals in 150 epl games

Villa aren't even in long-term decline, it was only a couple of years ago they were in the running for the top four.

Bonkers day all round really. What the hell has Roberto Martinez done at Wigan?

Urgh. Stupid defensive mistake by Norwich, and Liverpool are 1-0 up.

Could see us taking the season out on Norwich today, looks like we've got an idea for once.

And again. Fuck sake. 2-0

2-0 as I type that, sublime finish. Walcottesque.

great finishes

Absolutely. Suarez obviously annoyed by the comparison that Holt has scored more than he and Carroll combined...

Ref feeling sorry for us in the latter stages of that half I feel - got the benefit of some decisions that could have made this even more depressing at half time.

when/who are chelsea playin? have a feelin they'll make this an even better weekend for us

They're home to QPR. Not sure if that's good or bad for Spurs?

john terry

something

woodwork again

O_o how did Shelvey miss there?

I mean, phew, but...

thats the finishing we know and love

Fuck you Newcastle and your fucking fuck of a fucking loss to fucking Wigan. One fucking favour. That's all I asked. And you fucking lost. You and your fucking fantastic form and your fucking fantastic finishers. Fuck you.

Right, got to get something at Chelsea tomorrow.

well fuck me

motherfucker.

ever seen a better hat trick goal?

3 amazing strikes.

So sad right now.

nice to see suarez being more technically perfect than usual

wigan had blackburn and wolves after this week anyway so i'd marked them down as out of the mix already tbh. still annoyed by their shitty existence of course

result is p good in a way cos we needed spurs perked up for blackburn/bolton/villa. dare i say it but rangers' fate is in their slippery hands

and nevermind blues and city, knowing us all too well it's the stoke game i'm seriously bricking it about

haha gerrard saying naughty words on live tv. ban him for the cup final!

i think that's the best lob i've ever seen

Nayim>>>>>>>that

Ronaldinho lobbed free kick also vs Seaman >>>>>> that

nah

Nayim was kind of a hit and hope. Ronaldinho we'll never truly know if he meant it

Suarez lob was great but it was against Norwich in a dead rubber and the keeper was miles out. Context and opposition as well as technique make the others better.

I don't think Suarez meant that one... Ok, now I'm clutching at straws; it was an awesome finish. (Ruddy for England!). Why did he have to find form against us? Especially in the game where we could have caught them on points. I can see Norwich surviving solely on Goal Difference now, on this current run of form vs. the form of some of the embattled teams below us.

Ronaldinho we'll never truly know if he meant it

Ah you'll be one of those English Men.

I suppose it happening before everyone (English) realised he could do that shit week-in week-out made it doubtable at the time but surely the next six years kind of showed that of course he fucking meant it he was the best player in the world.

dinho's was completely and obviously intentional. Don't know where that comes from.

number none is one of those englishmen from donegal iirc

That's some awesome pessimism xp - you'd need three straight wins for Bolton & QPR, apart from your own form. If it actually happened, you'd've given up your goal advantage too most likely.

English papers at the time were all "fluke goal" - truly bizarre efforts at passing it off as a lucky miss-hit cross.
