I fucking despise Spurs, and their arrogant "we invented pass and move under Bill Nick" fans, deluded with grandeur and almost as cockney as the Hammers. I was speaking with a lad I was at uni with - a Spurs fan - and he's declaring that the CL is where they belong. I pointed out decades of underachievement but he seems to think they're a massive club. With CL football, plus the inevitable money they spend and the rat-piss-city draw they have, they could be quite powerful. That said, 'appy 'Arry has never struck me as having the nous to do well in Europe, so hopefully it'll be shortlived. I'm basically jealous. They've beaten both their local rivals in a week. I want a week like that.

Mike 'in charge of the whole operation now, me' Riley, isn't he? They may well have gotten off better, but they're not happy and I guess we're all cynical about stuff like this where that drunken old cunt is involved.

City pissed off. At the last minute, the ref has been changed from Steve Bennet to Martin Atkinson - the ref for the first manc derby with the stoppage time.
-
Good point. He's gone abroad and done well, and I've a lot of time for him and his comedy voice acting. I'd not want him anywhere near the club though. Agree also with the notion that the shithouse press turned on him and rewrote history because he didn't succeed at international level. When it comes to Ingerlund, I tend to judge a manager's record slightly differently, due to the number of insufferable cunts he'd have to put up with - journos, the FA, the LMA, Ginsoak, Mongo, Max Clifford, paparazzi, Rio Ferdinand, etc.

I think Insua's been more inconsistent than shite this season - albeit the bad games he's had have been shite - but I'd still be more than tempted to sell for that price. In an ideal world, I'd want some sort of buy-back clause in there (sorry to go all Football Manager on you all) as he may turn out pretty good - he is an Argentinian international despite his tender ages, although that's under the most mental international manager in history! I like Yossi, but for his age and considering our shitty financial status I'd probably do business for £9m. Should get a couple of players new contracts.

What will happen to this club if we don't finish 4th?
Manny replied to a topic in FF - Football Forum
The only thing that bothers me about City is that they've previously just had money - lots of it but just money. With all that cash and top-level football, the very top players will go. It's not the most glamorous of clubs, but the £200,000 a week wages they'll offer with CL football to boot will tempt most of them. From our point of view, I hope it makes us less profitable and therefore lowers the cunt's asking price. I hope it doesn't make them baulk at the interest charges and flog Torres and/or Gerrard. I agree with a lot of the above though - I think we're about to find out. -
I can't be arsed trawling through the thread because the same old shite has been argued again. At the end of the day, lack of cash hasn't been the cause of the shit we've served up repeatedly this season. But if you look at the players that our supposed title rivals buy compared with our trawling the market for freebies and cheapies recently, I can't believe people refuse to even give it the tiniest bit of credence that it's a big hindrance. Just my opinion.

Horrible tackle from a horrible cunt. Red, in my opinion.

Portsmouth relegated if things stay the same. As things stand, I can't see the bottom 3 changing.

Premier League Stars draw themselves for charity

Dear Premier League Michael unfortunately can't take part in this self-portrait competition, as he has a sore hand. Yours sincerely Mrs Owen -

I reckon it looks like a kid loose with some felt tip pens, but to each their own I suppose. -
With a mega-attacking right back on the opposite flank, I wouldn't mind seeing it again - a defensively solid player who's more than competent in the air and good in possession. France were similar when they won the World Cup - Lizarazu had licence to get forward, and Thuram was more than competent at covering.
-
He helped set up the 4th with a proper crunching tackle. Today was one of his best displays for us, long may it continue.
-
Nothing wrong with it. No-one touched it before Kuyt, and there was no foul.
-
Weekly slice of fortune. Mishit shot and shit keeping. And now it's 2. Cunts. Cunts.
-
Bollocks. He's fucking bombproof, the fat cunt.
-
Because he's had a whole career with many great games in important games, I'll say Zidane. He's got more of them to choose from than Messi, and I don't doubt that when Messi is the age Zidane is, I'll be eulogising still further.
-
I thought there'd be a twist but Barcelona are ultimately a far better side. Thought the twist of Barcelona losing would last a few minutes longer than it did! They're so far off being a one-man team it's untrue. Their display against Arsenal at the Emirates last week was as masterful a performance as I've seen from an away side. They always seem to find a way of living up to expectation.

Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks looking like... fucking Shaft!

With all the uncertainty surrounding them earlier in the season at board room and managerial level, I thought they'd struggle bigtime at first, especially as there's always a culture shock when an established Premier League team drops down a division. But fair play to Chris Hughton, who's got them playing decent football and turned them into a real juggernaut in the Championship - not a mentality that's easy to instill in that club at the best of times, never mind the above! Next season though, I don't know about them. They've signed a lot of players who've looked comfortable at that level (Routledge, Best, etc), but will they cut it in the Premier League? We'll also have to see what their defence will be like next season, whether it'll revert to type or continue to look solid. They also lack a consistent goalscorer, unless that biff Andy Carroll continues to progress (and stays out of Community Service). Living in the north east, I was hoping this season to do a merry dance and laugh at them languish in the Championship while we chased a championship of our own. So yes, I think it was me who jinxed our season!
-
Yep. Them quotes stink of laying the foundations.
-
It's been unfortunate with Nemeth. Blackpool last season followed by Athens this time should have been a good learning curve for him. Instead he's just found new injuries to get!
-
It frustrates me in that a lot of defenders have learned that their only way to cope with him is to kick lumps out of him, but this illegal practice isn't being halted by the officials. I'm pretty sure Torres feels the same way.
-
I used to think Valdes was shite, but watching him in the Champions League last season, I decided I'd been a tad harsh and he's actually quite good. They let the wrong one go in Pepe, mind, but Valdes is dependable enough. He really should have done a lot better with Walcott's "shot" though, that let them right back in it.

I see what you're saying. I'll give Almunia credit - he was superb in the first half. He was the only Arsenal player who realised there was a game on for the first twenty minutes or so. But the problem with him is summed up in the second half - no matter how well he played in the first, he's massively culpable for their opener. Even within 90 minutes, he's inconsistent. Defenders don't trust that, fans don't trust that. I don't know how Wenger hasn't seen it. After seeing Igor Akinfeev play well once again for CSKA last night (admittedly only highlights) I don't know why Wenger doesn't invest big in an established international goalkeeper. As for Arsenal - and English teams in general - I never want any of them to do well. Winning in Europe is our job.
