Yeah the whole "too similar" criticism never really made any sense, quick, technical players complement each other's skills rather than detracting from them.

Too many headers, about the only explanation.

Can't believe Carragher never saw Kenny. I'm only like a couple of years older than him and I remember the great man very clearly.

He would have been very young when Dalglish was at his peak.

Still ridiculous though.

This team looks so toothless, just glad we're still in this .

Rooney's statistically in the bottom five penalty takers of the Premiership era. Can't believe we keep letting him take them, must be an English hype-machine thing.

Because he's generally too ****e to do anything in open play, other than give the ball away most of the time. I'd love it if England found a manager who didn't automatically play the spud-headed numpty.

Goddamit. Steve Bould's influence is so overrated.

I have nfi about football but the cricket was so far away:

300 rupees on Chelsea against Swansea at 1.8
100 rupees on Everton against Fulham at 2.6
100 rupees on West Ham to draw against Manchester City at 4.0

Now slightly regretting it. Do you guys think I'm likely to break even?

Wouldn't have backed Everton, Fulham almost never lose at home. Chelsea looks alright, they're missing Mata but Swansea's defence is really poor. West Ham bet looks good.

Only bet on Everton because I have memories of Arteta being a sexy beast about five years ago. I do realize he plays for Arsenal now thanks to the FIFA games but at least I remembered the team as a vaguely competent team. Cheers.

That was thoroughly **** from us. Expected though, we only go for second tier players so should expect to lose to teams that go for top tier ones.

Chelsea up, Everton up at 80 - Beautiful.

Now I need a late goal from Tottenham to seize my fringe bet.

I like this game

(Cue late goals from Swansea and Fulham)
