THUDD. No wait, i hate him
yes i think it was good players only
i hated dave kitson thank god he no longer exists
thudd
King
Given
Mata
that luiz yellow’s a fuckin disgrace

On 18 July 2008, Kitson moved in a £5.5m move from Reading to Stoke City, breaking Stoke’s record transfer fee.[7]
saw the cahill sending off.
Fuck’im, the covering centre half was thirty yards lateral, red card
It was Zat Knight tbf
A devastating veiled critique from Atwell

wld only take mata tbrr
fuck a friedel tbh, he’s shit. enter krul
also, no david silva = no cred tbh
Hernandez surely
he can be on the bench though
you’d only take mata for what, ahh?
Defensive midfield?
morrison slide in on hart should prob be red, no?
beaut wrongly disallowed for swp
were adebayor and defoe both playing high as a 2? could bolton have played 3–5–2?
yes, and not after 18 mins, respectively
ah didn’t realise the sending off was that early.
not sure the result would have altered mind
Lennon is england lw material on current form, we’re a joy to watch atm but aren’t putting them away and we’re struggling a little when teams pack the defence.
Not the worst probs to have tho tbh
Romanian club Poli Timisoara’s owner Marian Iancu says his 10-year sentence for money-laundering and tax evasion is a “gross miscarriage”......Iancu’s previous best sanction: 2010 – fined £3,000 for calling Universitatea Craiova’s Victor Piturca “a homosexual satanist” on live TV. Piturca called Iancu a “fat Gypsy” who likes to “stay in bed and eat 50 pies and 25 sandwiches”. Iancu: “My fine is unjust. It’s a total lack of respect.”
goodbye socrates, hellloooo hayley mcqueen
r.i.p socrates, brazil ’82 possibly my favourite international team ever (although I have high hopes for Germany ’12)
Oh man, poor Socrates. Undoubtedly the coolest footballer there ever was.
The conclusion to the Brazilian championship is tonight, incidentally. Corinthians lead Vasco da Gama by two points with equal goal difference, and both have local derbies—Corinthians play Palmeiras, Vasco play Flamengo. Should be worth watching, I think kickoffs are 7pm.
In his early days there, he was notably unwilling to join in the wild celebrations of his team-mates when he scored a goal (of which there were 172 over the course of 297 matches); so much so that the fans complained to the club president. He, in turn, begged Sócrates to be more demonstrative, and Sócrates obliged, in future, with parodic celebrations, kneeling on the ground, throwing up his arms and invoking success from whatever gods there might be.
“England is too cold for Brazilian footballers,” Socrates said. “It doesn’t matter how talented the players are, the culture is so different so it does not surprise me when Brazilian players do not do as well as they should—though I hear there are now Brazilian restaurants in Manchester.
”The way of life is so correct and organised in Europe. It’s not like that in Brazil, where things are more spontaneous. I was in Florence for a year with Fiorentina and sometimes I didn’t want to train, but to hang out with friends, party or have a smoke. There’s more to life than football, but Europe can be very regimented.“
Haha, Manchester derby in the third round.
Classic
how can u talk of such savagery when sócrates isn’t even cold yet
Fixed as usual
he’d be cold if he were in england tbf
im not sure he was talking about literal coldness, i mean brazilians do well enough in russia
where they are chill and just like to drink meths and say fuck a protestant work ethic
manc lairyness obv doesn’t sit well with samba boys
look what it’s done to Anderson’s dancing
Fiorentina—Roma sounded like a laugh. Roma ended up with 8 men with Bojan handballing on the line at 2–0 down. The poor lamb.
wait, so they were down to 9, 2–0 down and bojan thought he’d stop a goal cos the comeback was still on? That’s the spirit!
yeah but tbh it looked like it wouldn’t have gone in anyway, think he just wanted to get out of facing juventus next week.
Handball on the line wouldn’t’ve gone in? What direction was it coming from?!
lol, more likely.
xp
Shit footage but it does appear to be going wide
&Heh, none more blatant (except by John Terry maybe)
Both hands!!
Loathe as I am to agree with a BBC m-b-m contributor, but Everton really could do with Anelka in January.
could do with yakubu back tbh
1714: Kieran Richardson was booked there by the way for whipping off his shirt to reveal a “I belong to Jesus” vest.
rmde
he’s no kaka that’s for sure
Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Molineux: “Barely a flicker from Martin O’Neill high in the Molineux stand but he will have been delighted by the sweeping counter attack at pace and goal from Kieran Richardson. Just how he likes it. Growing unease among the Wolves fans.”
has o’neill got a reputation for liking sweeping counter attack football? Thought most top managers hated it.
will he have liked that phil?
Ferguson used to like it :(
ah the days of ronaldo/rooney Euro semi finals against Arsenal.
nobody remembers poor old ji sung
Kieran Gibbs does
my favourite utd player in the post cantona era!
xp park
Park has been awful this season unfortunately. Still love him though
Cmon wolves!
a Brucian performance by Sunderland here today. A proper tribute to the man.
lol
ya dancer!
wtf wolves stop lumping it u mugs
wolves in CL-place form again
i was gonna nominate Park for the universally loved team
bet Arsenal fans don’t love him
that one thing is sure
i dislike the fact of him, the defensive winger.
He really performs better in a central role
mccarthy will surely have been pleased to get the points today
for nv’s sake a pre-xmas slide and mccarthy firing would probably be better
this ‘play shit for ten games then well for two’ is no good
eh that depends on the results, i mean utd are second
McCarthy Out
:( Socrates
Jarvis = waste
Edwards = not good enough
McCarthy = yeah, take off Doyle and Hunt, that’ll shake things up
other than that, decent but unincisive football again, notably better without Henry in the team so i look forward to him being first pick for the Man U game
Late comeback again is something though. What is that, are you just fitter than other teams?
just want it more iirc
sunderland played Brown and O’Shea at CB iirc
Anonymous on text via 81111: “In terms of trophies won is there any more successful central defensive partnership in the premier league at Sunderland? Wes Brown and John O’Shea? Or even in the history of the league?”
by the same lights Solskjaer and Cronaldo wd be a top pairing
could be manager of likeable xi maybe? would be good if he could play some less rudimentary football at sunderland tho
I’m assuming Van Persie in that likeable lineup is a joke. Who doesn’t love Aguero right now though? Amazing goal yesterday.
Spurs looked fantastic yesterday, unfortunately so did Jussi. Should have got 8 or 9. Struggling to think of a Spurs player who isn’t on top form right now. Only really Gallas and he can hardly be blamed for that.
i’d like adebayor to be sticking them away a little more ruthlessly but yeah everyone looking the business right now.
Would like to see the squad used more, though. We ran out of steam last year and it’s not like kranjcar, pienaar, sandro, corluka et al couldn’t do a job here and there
Also wrt United and creative midfielders, don’t think it’s a coincidence that United have gone from awesome to workmanlike since Cleverly got injured, he looked an excellent player. Rooney’s barren spell is going weirdly uncommented on in the media as well.
Kranjcar injured I think and it’s looking like Pienaar is just not destined to happen for Spurs through no fault of his own, unless there’s an injury.
