*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

[Furball]

Yes that's the Chief Cheateur effect. If you're playing up front for a good team and you're a focal point for attacks then by default you'll do something because you get so many opportunities.

Correct, Henry made a career out of being a lazy **** and goal poaching in the penalty box.

Jesus wept.

There should be a rule about putting Stoke on the telly.

I had assumed there was - surely they'd never be on if they didn't have to be?

Yeah, I want a new rule, just give them the telly money, but don't bother showing them, everybodys happy.

Still at least they're crap this year, let's hope relegations on the cards, and we can never watch them again.

 

[Furball]

Refs should book Delap for timewasting.

 

[GIMH]

Newcastle

How these neanderthal hoof-merchants not only manage to stay up but do fairly well in a top league is simply beyond me. Horrible bunch of ****s.

Well the refs not really seen anything until Torres is one on one, for all he knows Turner could've struck it 10 yards forward at Torres who's broken through. Atwells nipping up field to try and be in position for a normal passage of play. Lino should've really shed a bit more light on it, but really Turner, if he wasnt going to take the free kick, shouldn't have kicked the ball, as thats taking the free kick. Pick it up and throw it back a few yards maybe, or just walk off and let the keeper position the ball as he sees fit (because I bet if the keeper had come up for it, he'd have rolled it forward 5 yards anyway, back to where Atwell put it)

Yeah, with this, much as I think Attwell's a goon, that was quite incredibly stupid on Turner's part.

Garforth name Gazza as boss

best line:
Garforth owner Simon Clifford said: "This is not a publicity stunt. When we signed Socrates and Careca, that was. Everyone says they love Paul but nobody does anything about it.

 

[TT Boy]

Raoul would have approved.

 

[duffer]

Really might as well play Szczesny right now. Whether he becomes the next Casillas or Stuart Taylor he's a sight more bearable than Coco and Bobo are.

Disgraceful performance by the team though. Just watched the entire thing for the first time and really couldn't believe how spineless it was, especially after the big win midweek.

 

[roseboy64]

Midweek win might have had an effect on the players though.

 

[Jarquis]

What effect?

****ing lol.

 

[sledger]

The Manchester clubs are taking over - move over London clubs.

Bolton isn't actually part of Manchester.

 

[grecian]

Fabianski going to start against Partisan apparently, it just gets funnier

 

[sledger]

Not this **** again. He'll probably get a run of abysmal games and then get dropped only for Senor Panic Attack to return, flatter to deceive for a few games and then **** up again.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Honestly, Wenger seems to have a real blind spot when it comes to keepers. He was jammy enough to inherit a great one and signed one genuinely decent keeper in Mad Jens (who had his moments anyway), but that's an awful strike rate in 14 years.

Remember Rami Shabaan?

 

[Ikki]

Should've just ponied up the dough for Schwarzer.

 

[vcs]

Now that Arsenal is stuck with this bunch of ****e keepers, it seems such a futile exercise reshuffling back and forth as they predictably take chances to **** up. Might as well stick with the lesser evil that is Almunia. I'm not that surprised that Wenger failed to acquire a keeper in the transfer market but if he plays Fabianski again in the CL, I'll be shocked with his decision making. It's what a 6 year old would do.
