No thanks.

i honestly think we'd be many points better off had he stayed. for a start we'd have more than 3 midfielders to choose from right now, and he has a uber winning mentality that radiates throughout

 

[leviathane]

Ramires was a good buy though

 

[Vladamir]

If he adds some strength and size to his frame he'll come good, but he just bounces off anyone more than 12 stone at the moment. Only 23 years old and already a starter in the Brazil team, can't be all bad

He is a loss but it has gone wrong in a good few places for you, Drogba/Anelka look bored, Lampard injured and not on form, Essien well off best form, you wingers are lazy fuckers and your defence needs a couple of good backup players along with a good fucking kick up the arse.

Honestly, I think if you could motivate that squad you would still push us to the end but from what I have heard on the radio tonight it seems for 60 minutes that they were clueless. Strange days.

Drogba/terry don't seem to be getting along either. Can't help.

Lesson for Ron Gourlay (Chief Exec), you can't trim £20m from the wage bill in one off-season and not expect repercussions

2 players arguing after dropping points in the last moment = massive battle between two players who hate each other

 

[megadave]

here's a bit of scouse comedy for everyone

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah it's a press make believe story, however drogba needs to fix up. He promised us his best ever season in pre season, and has delivered his worst. He shouldn't be starting given his form and attitude.

Great, great results today, I think grant is safe, despite the loss he's been backed with jan signings. Roy is fucked; houllier has another game or two left, and Carlo is going nowhere as the squad is the biggest problem not him.

 

[megadave]

We certainly have problems up front. Anelka is the worst of the 3 right now, he's really bad, we only managed a come back against Villa because he came off. Today he came on as a sub and held the ball up a couple of times and that was it.

Drogba is also a problem, been bad all season but at least has the quality to score or assist every now and again.

We should start Sturridge but Ancelotti evidently doesn't have enough faith in him, and he keeps picking up injuries

Kalou should just never start a game of football. Ever.

Those are the only options we have :d


edit: just checked anelkas contribution to todays game, touched the ball 5 times, gave it away once, 1 foward pass. Over 30 minutes

 

[Turamber]

why you played Agbonlahor on the wing instead of Young is beyond me though, Heskey and Agbonlahor would have been far more of a threat, especially with Downing and Young on the wings.

Indeed. It was a success against Chelsea and people were crediting Houllier with tactical genius as it stopped them playing out through their full backs. However sticking with the same system rather implies it was an accidental stroke of genius the first time.

YouTube - amateur football dirty play

 

[Everz]

Villa have looked wank each time i've seen them. Even at our end you were pretty gash tbh.

 

[Everz]

Such a special few weeks these have been tbh.. harps back to the Wolves of old we all grew up and hear about, where we were the best in the world, pretty awesome tbh. Seems like we are a different team each match heh.

 

[Everz]

Glad to see Botch of the Day still think thats a shit 0-0 and there wankfest Liverpool losing is a far more important spectical then the champions losing. Idiots.

 

[megadave]

and the old "...oh yeah and Blackburn were great too.

 

[cHodAX]

Hehe 'Manchester City - The most expensive bus in the world!'

 

[Everz]

and the old "...oh yeah and Blackburn were great too.

Aye, pisstake tbh. The BBC bias is a bitch.

 

[cHodAX]

Muhahaaa.

 

[megadave]

Guus disagrees.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

No thanks.

Are you sure, even with this evidence?

YouTube - Michael Ballack's bulge

City are chumps.

 

[megadave]

hahah

 

[cHodAX]

Guus disagrees.

What did Gus win?

 

[leviathane]

respect xD

 

[cHodAX]

respect xD

And an FA cup but no league or Champions League. At least Carlo can claim a double.

 

[Calo]

Well we can all agree that the PL just isn't the strongest league in europe anymore. LA liga just by passed them.

Just wait till Barca gives Arsenal a big time spanking and if man utd draws barca.. they will be outplayed again like a 16year old school squad. Just reality.

Oh and man city is the most pathetic team so far this season. This kind of play against arsenal? Seriously, that was PATHETIC this evening.

 

[CorNokZ]

SHIT when are people going to get it?

LA Liga is a two team league. That doesn't make it the best. Denmark is a one team league, that doesn't make us the best league..

No wonder that Ronaldo and Messi score every week when they meet random teams no one has ever heard of. You can probably point out 3-4 teams on the map, but I bet you that is it

EPL is still the best league in the world when you look at the average level of football being played

I drew this picture to make people understand better:

[Everz]

Corn that was a thread winning post. Well said. Surely a league must be judged on its competitivity, and strength in depth?

England - Spurs, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City are top sides, with Everton/Pool/Bolton/Sunderland making decent and the rest filling up
Spain - Barca, Real are top sides with Valencia, Sevilla and maybe Villarreal decent, the rest are shite.
Germany - To many teams to fucking name.

Germany = winner.

 

[xomer]

hahahahaahhaha Corn omg.
