This paragraph from "The Fifth Official" is hillarious

Quote :

"Poor old Woy can't seem to get it right at the moment. For the first time this season he decided to release Liverpool's handbrake away from home and stick David 'Wash' Ngog up front with the still slightly undercooked Fernando Torres, knowing full well Spurs are as wide open as a 24-hour supermarket and knackered after a busy week in their quest to achieve world domination while employing absolutely no credible tactics whatsoever. The trouble is Liverpool's front line looked so unused to being presented with clear cut chances that they froze like an embalmed rabbit in the Arctic whenever they were offered a clear run on Tottenham's goal. Twice Torres opted to fall over rather than shoot when clean through and Maxi is such a bum-licker he copied his colleague's lead and did exactly the same. Martin Skrtel is so keen to establish himself as a Liverpool legend, a la Jamie Carragher, that he thought he'd better equalise his own opener, while the Paul Konchesky experiment came apart at the seams. If the left back is ever asked to draw a picture of Aaron Lennon he'll have to start with the winger's arse given that he spent most of the afternoon staring at it disappearing into the distance. As Konchesky did his 'wading knee deep in treacle' impression, Lennon breezed through and rounded off a memorable week for Tottenham. All that, and Carragher managed to dislocate his shoulder but still have a moody pop at Sotirios Kyrgiakos who was taking his time in coming on the field to replace him. After Spurs' winner, Woy sank deep into his seat and stuck his fingers in his ears so he didn't have to listen to the inevitable chant for Kenny Dalglish from the away contingent."

it's a bit harsh... Lucas and Meireleshhhhhhh completely bossed the midfield. Liverpool just didn't have an answer for Bale/Lennon/Modric (when he went at defenders) in the attacking 3rd

I don't think the game plan was bad, Liverpool's backs and wingers just aren't very good. Konchesky obviously sucks but it's not like Insua was that much better anyways

United just got Jonny Evans'd in the Carling Cup


down 4-0 to West Ham

11/30/2010 4:21:25 PM

ouch

11/30/2010 4:27:02 PM

I will not talk shit because my stance on the CC is the same no matter how Liverpool/United do

who cares about the Carling Cup (although it was nice to see that Spector scored twice)

11/30/2010 4:30:51 PM

Yeah, Evans and Fabio had terrible games. Smalling looks decent though

[Edited on November 30, 2010 at 4:42 PM. Reason : ]

11/30/2010 4:41:44 PM

That was my stance on the Carling Cup before as well.

But now that Arsenal is incapable of winning trophies...

Carling Cup semis

11/30/2010 4:47:58 PM

The British Press is having a field day with the World Cup news, blaming anything and everything in sight.

Hey England,

12/3/2010 9:26:47 AM

Man U/Blackpool called off due to a frozen pitch

12/3/2010 12:23:10 PM

well this gives the first team a little bit more of a break with a bunch of tough fixtures coming up in the next 2 weeks

12/3/2010 12:26:52 PM

Gomes just made a game-tying save with his dick.


And as I type he gives up the equalizer.

Everton ties it up late vs Chelski.

12/4/2010 11:40:49 AM

both of Nasri's goals were sick

12/4/2010 11:55:16 AM

lol where did all that playstation football that chelski was playing go? haha

12/4/2010 1:51:03 PM

^^ Yeah he has incredible foresight. It's like he is mentally 3 touches ahead of his defender sometimes. I toyed with placing him as captain this week on the fantasy team and now regret it, although Teves didn't let me down.

12/4/2010 8:47:07 PM

NC State needs a kit like Sunderland's

12/5/2010 12:48:28 PM

Nasty Nasri in your area, about to cause mass hysteria!

""When there is not much contact and they go down screaming, it is embarrassing from a man's point of view,'' Davies told the Manchester Evening News. "There are a lot of European players in their squad and I think it is something they are taught on the continent. It is frustrating and embarrassing at times. However, it is part of our game unfortunately.''"

tell 'em Kevin Davies

12/6/2010 9:05:42 AM

he right

12/6/2010 9:10:27 AM

Clint Dempsey to LOLverpool exposed?



Even more reason for me to hate that team

12/6/2010 11:09:22 AM

I can't believe Hughes would sell, Dempsey's been one of their few consistent (and healthy) attacking players this year... and they're not exactly in a good position in the table


I like Clint, but I can't see how he's a better option than Kuyt or Cole

12/6/2010 11:20:39 AM

NGOG AND BABEL

OH THEY BACK

12/6/2010 3:19:43 PM

thank god

12/6/2010 3:41:22 PM

2 man team?

MORE LIKE 3 MAN TEAM - MAXI, BABEL, AND NGOG

12/6/2010 4:14:52 PM

Newcastle fired Hughton today

http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/story/Newcastle-fires-manager-Hughton

That's some WTF news since they destroyed Championship last year and aren't doing so bad this year...wonder what the odds of them imploding and getting relegated again are now?

12/6/2010 9:50:09 PM

they're mid-table and they've been winning games. it's their first year back in the premiership, and those results are about as good as they can get. doesn't make much sense at all.

12/6/2010 10:16:54 PM

Ashley couldn't resist the urge to make his club a joke again. So stupid. Unless they bring back Joe Kinnear for some more gold

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbUoQPTGLLw

You're a cunt. Absolutely fucking out of order, you are.

12/6/2010 10:26:47 PM

^^^,^^ Jol is available now and apparently he is the odds on favorite

still an idiot move though

12/9/2010 8:35:21 PM

Speaking of...

Monday night football this week = Man U vs Arsenal. 3pm EST on ESPN3!

12/9/2010 11:06:24 PM

Please don't talk about ESPN3. It makes me sad every time I hear about it

12/10/2010 12:30:41 AM

I came in here to declare this, although it's not news:

Mike Ashley is a twat.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

12/10/2010 12:51:08 AM

12/10/2010 1:02:46 AM

HUUUUUGE weekend at the top of the table

A win at WHL for Spurs would get them into position to enter the top 4 again with Blackpool on the schedule next week

^^ Hey the fans might hate him but how many other owners do you see sitting in the stands (instead of the private box), team shirt on, destroying a beer like that?

12/10/2010 11:06:17 AM

Carroll's 3rd goal was a rip (aided by so awful defending)

12/11/2010 2:41:37 PM

12/11/2010 3:06:41 PM

12/11/2010 3:20:43 PM

anyone think roy will be fired in january to be replaced by someone else? id say the odds have to be pretty decent.

12/11/2010 3:58:45 PM

I doubt he goes, even though I obviously want him to


apparently Tevez has handed in a transfer request... now I'd deal with Woy if they got Tevez instead of a new manager

12/11/2010 4:43:57 PM

^^^ Not sure if ol' Woy was just having a sniff or all out tasting his "wind"...


Wonder who will go first: Woy or Grant?

12/11/2010 5:24:53 PM

haha tevez....he should just go back to boca

12/11/2010 6:07:05 PM

good thing I already own an Arsenal jersey
