Premier League 2011/12 Season

:: and refs and their assistants have become more criminal.

 

Unquestionably so IMO. This is a very, very, VERY poor Man Utd side.

Ba and Cisse have smiled a fair bit this season.

Balotelli is a disgrace.

 

Why are you sorry to say it? First off, most footballers tend towards bellendry in any case. Secondly, if you come from dirt and get cash, you get a right idea about yourself and act accordingly. Thirdly, if you've got a posse of journos making excuses for your dumb ass, then it grows from there.

Ballotelli isn't any more of a bell-end than say the Nevilles, but he's a Bell-End for the 21st Looting Generation What Wear Diamond Earrings

You've hit the nail on the head with the use of the word "African". Its not a black-thing, its an African Thing. I'm pretty sure most 1st Generation Irish-Americans were intolerable cunts, or at least would have been regarded as same by their native cousins.

Nothing worse than having a few bob and knowing it- and knowing you are two yards removed from not having it. Anyone can be rich- anyone can get rich- not everyone knows how to be rich.

I've lost interest in football as a spectator sport. Football should be taught to young men by way of fulfilling the old Latin maxim, Mens Sana etc. Play football with your mates to stay fit and have fun, and study football to get a very good grasp of politics and human nature. I can't recommend it enough. I've learned more about human nature, spivs, shams, constructs, agendas and what-not by following football than I ever could have reading a thousand books on same.

When you see a guy like Ferguson being extolled as some sort of a mental genius, you realize how folk go about arranging the placement of a tank division in down-town Basra or the deployment of troops to the Falklands.

 

That's only cos everyone loves a Geordie lass.

I can't see Mancini as having done too much wrong, in any area.

I have observed a remarkable new medical phenomenon as of recent. Just as uranium causes cancer, if one stands too close to it for too long, it now appears to be the case that falling behind Manchester United in the race for the Title causes an upsurge in the IQ of "Sir Alex" and a simultaneous collapse of the mental faculties of whoever has fallen behind him.

Benitez went insane in 2009, Wenger in 2011, and this year it is Mancini.

Thankfully, Carlo Ancelotti was able to stay sane for one additional year before the inevitable insanity took hold and he too went mad and was sent back to Wogland from whence he had come.

I don't worry about Abu Qatada or any of that shit. Sir Alex is the man. I'll put my green-and-gold scarf away for another year, Uniteds finances only dip when we are a few points off the top anyways.

 

"Nooooo Demba, Nooooooooo, Dooooon't Leeve Us Man"

 

A wee sticker over Strachan's face and this'd make a cracking print

 

You may take Khrushchev out of it too.

 

Big win for the Toffees & Cisse on target again for the Toon army.

 

The Moyes Wankfest Dub Foundation will go into overdrive if they can "Plunge Liverpool Into Further Crisis" this weekend. Hopefully Moyes will remember his goal of winning fuck all in a decade. :crafty:

You do have to love how the system works. Its like a geared engine. Missed a few cogs when Harry Redknapp screws the pooch and Tottenham "They Could Win The League Yet" Hotspur finish with fewer points than Liverpool did in Benitez last season????

No problem. Just drop down a few gears into a smoother transmission and roll effortlessly along with some free-wheeling salivation over Moyes or Pardew, all systems healthily lubricated with lashings of WD "So-and-So in Crisis" 40

Next year it will be Allardyce.

 

I'm not so sure West Ham will go up this season now.

 

You are bang out of order. Fat Sam is a great manager, look at the job he is doing at West Ham :nono:

 

:: I had them for the top 2 this season but their erratic form has cost them dearly, plus Reading's late season surge has not helped them. Also, the team finishing in third has only succeeded in winning promotion seven times out of twenty five seasons up to 2011, so if West Ham do finish third they'll have their work cut out.

 

HATEM'S TOO GOOD FOR YOU

MTF

 

Hatem Ben Beardsley. And that is the highest compliment I can pay the lad.

MTF

 

What do you think about play offs Jimmy?

 

Doesn't have the same ring to it as "Taarabt's too good for you" :crafty:

 

C'mon Fulham

 

I love them, it's a great format. Each year, every year I watch them, including the league one and two playoffs. I can see Birmingham going up from the playoffs.

What about you?

 

:cheer:

MTF

 

Did you see that goal today? What an afternoon I've had (I may be a little drunk)...

Ben Beardsley>>>>>>>>Taarabt

MTF

 

They sure make for high drama but the sporting purist in me protests at my own enjoyment of them a little.

 

Is this forum misrepresentative or are Chelsea pretty universally hated in England?

 

It were alright. Ran through a non existent defense, but a tidy finish though. Not as good as Taarabt's vs Arsenal now. Looked like Krul kept you in the game with key saves?

 

Why so? You think the top 3 should go up automatically without the need for playoffs?

 

He made two saves. Two. Taarabts has scored one PL goal. Nowhere near the level you would expect. Ben Beardsley is winning games, turning games, at borderline CL level

MTF

 

If it weren't for those two saves it could have finished 2-2 ::
