Premier League 2011/12 Season

Chelski fined, £20,000 for "failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."

'ave a bit of that, ya feckin' mugs.

 

Nuff respect to Anton and all that, but someone needs to point out to him that Adebayor has only won one trophy in his entire career so far ::

 

The only thing worse that I can imagine is ALS

Guy gets his life ruined by an over-the-top-hit in a preseason game and the bastard that did it to him could never even bring himself to say that he was sorry it happened to the guy, right up until his dying day... Ironically, Jack Tatum (the man who did the deed) had to have a leg amputated shortly before he died due to diabetes

 

:Lok:

 

Oh. I'd say Roman is rummaging down the back of his sofa right now for that.

 

Just call it Lou Gehrigs disease. Don't be making me google shit, dammit!!!! ::

I don't know the specifics, Reed would probably be the guy to ask, but it seems Tatum reveled in his "Assassin" status and kept bringing books out which RE-AFFIRMED rather than played down his status as such. He lost 5 toes and then his leg, and then he died. :boohoo:

Closest thing I can think of in Soccer is David Bussts leg being snapped like a fucking twig in a game between Coventry and United. Busst never played again and had the incident occurred 10 years earlier, he would have lost the limb.

 

:giggle:sorry, man, too much health insurance work has clouded my brain

Tatum was scum... He seemed to be unable to get around the notion that anyone asking him about Stingley was asking him if it was his FAULT...

The notion that you could be making a (borderline) legal hit on a guy and still FEEL AWFUL about what happened was beyond his comprehension... he never expressed the slightest regret... His only regret it seems was that he believed it kept him out of the hall of fame (IMO, he wasn't good enough to be in there in the first place)

Emile Griffith was just "doing his job" but he's been tortured internally by the memory of 1962 his whole life... Tatum never seemed to care one iota

I'm reminded of particularly galling interview I once saw with a UVF man called John Dillon who readily admitted to purposely shooting dead several catholics he knew were not involved with the IRA... The interviewer, Peter Taylor (one of the few objective English journalists on the subject) asked him if he felt remorse or if he celebrated... Dillon's answer was brutally straightforward: "I'm a soldier. I don't need to celebrate." ... he was pressed on the matter of remorse and if he felt any... "No" was his curt reply... this was a guy who had gunned down innocent people on purpose, not accidentally caught in the crossfire, they were hunted. If he were talking about IRA men or people who had infiltrated his organziation, someone hostile, I would not expect him to have remorse, but these were just regular people... amazing... not to say Tatum is in that category of psychopathology, but his attitude is similiar on a smaller scale

 

Apparently Busst could have played again, according to Busst. The injury was bad, but not career ending. It was the infection he picked up which fucked him.

 

I can't hear/read the name David Bust without shuddering.

 

It was nasty as fuck, no doubt. Didn't Schmeichel throw up on the pitch? The still photo is fucking horrible (the one a few seconds before what Irish posted).

 

Horrifying isnt too strong. The people who saw it must have had nightmares.

Ya don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

I hope arsenal beat chelsea, I really do. I just can't see it tho with arsenal's defense being so shaky.

I think RVP will score tho. 2-1 to the scum is my prediction.

 

Ah shit man that stuff freaks me the fuck out. I remember I was fucking hammered off my tits once, was eating some chicken with mates about 1am near Hounslow bus garage when some dude comes in and says "I need a mobile phone, theres a guy in the bus garage who's broken his leg". Now you hear about these scams all the time, you give them your phone and never see it again, so we were like "yea mate, nice story", and he says "if you don't believe me, come and see for yourself", so we staggered out to the bus garage and see this fella lying there in agony, leg all floppy, bone right out of the skin. Sobered up INSTANTLY.

 

the equivalent over here would be Joe Theismann... I will never forget that... I was 7 or 8 and it is SEARED into my memory

 

oh my dayz, just nasty.

 

Playing footy for the college of law, my mate got caught by the keeper, and his shin bone completely shattered.

He didn't even scream, he was co pletelyin shock, but when I rolled down his sock, ther was a 1 inch drop in the skin level marking where his bow had shattered.

The hospital cocked up his morphine, and they had to reset it without any aneasthetic. I can still hear his screams.

 

AFC Wimbledon falling at the rails of late.

Crawley hammered them 5-2 a week or so back.

 

I've just put £50 on. Man Utd win

May I burn In hell.

 

Oooooh, worth the risk tho I feel. It'll be tough for united for the majority of the game, but with that front 3 of wellbeck, rooney and hernandez, i think they'll prove too much for everton to handle in the end. I originally went for the draw, before hearing united's team sheet, but going for a united win now.

 

Chelsea 1 up, but should be ahead by more.

Gervinho's attempt at goal was poor.

 

3-2 gunners.

Chelsea will not win the league with this defense.

 

Amazing attack minded game from the gooners. Fair play. Ripped them to shreads so much in that game. We showed Arsenal how to beat the Blues...

 

You see.....that's how I roll. I knew Arsenal were no 8-2 team.

Wenger actually went one better than Liverpool.

Seems to be the week for going one better than Liverpool.

Arsenal go to Stamford Fridge and score 5, Citeh go to Old Trampford and score 6.

I shit on Chelsea.

 

Eh.....OK. Wenger was doing attack minded football when Warnock was breeding Whippets up in York.

I figured Arsenal would cash in on Chelsea's fragile emotional state and their 120 minute slog in midweek also.

I figured right.

 

Makes sense to me. Means you'll be happy either way.

 

Its why I usually bet against Liverpool.

Get my 3 points or I gets my one point, here.

 

Celtic. Come on to fuck

 

It was horrible, I won't be doing it again. I found myself hoping our last minute efforts would miss because I couldn't be arsed with a one all draw.

Never. Again.

 

There isn't a single player in this Celtic team with any passion for the club. Peter Grant would be having fucking kittens and screaming at his team mates right now.
