Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

You could buy 87 and a half Grant Holts for the price of 1 Andy Carroll

No town has foundations strong enough to contain such a weight.

Probably belongs in the bad taste joke thread but it's football related so:

The Chinese paralympic 5-a-side team has been announced.

Sim Pul Twat
Won Lim Gon
Won Kee Eye
Fu King Mong
Andy Carrol

*Runs*

I do hope they haven't appealed Ivan's ban, the FA are hardly likely to rescind any impending ban and the last thing we need is him missing for an extra game.

 

[megadave]

He's an idiot, from the shit video I saw he hit him after having an elbow swung his way, don't see how it'll get rescinded. Very disappointing.

 

[caLLous]

He full-on planted his fist in Maloney's back from what I saw. He can't possibly claim there wasn't violent intent. It wasn't as bad as Rooney elbowing that guy as he ran past last year but it wasn't far off.

 

[Scouse]

Comolli's gone. Looks like he's carried the can for some poor purchaces. Notably Carroll and Henderson.

 

[megadave]

As he probably should.

 

[megadave]

Although actually King Kenny is the one who should be getting slated

 

[soze]

Depends how it works at Liverpool, if Kenny just points at a player and then lets the Directors worry about the rest then the Directors should have told him he could not have those players as they were not available for a reasonable price. If Kenny signed of on that amount of money then he should be getting the blame you are right.

Contract offered to Ole according to our reliable ITK.

It's happening.

Redknapp talking about other team's players, what a surprise. Can't wait until the summer and he moans about others doing it about his players.

What a player.​

 

[Cerb]

Redknapp is the sort of person who loads up a new game of football manager, players through the transfer window, plays about 2 games and then loads up a new game.

Mancini in backtrack shocker!

[Wazzerphuk]

More fining nonsense:

€30,000: Amount UEFA fined Manchester City for returning to the field 'up to 60 seconds' later than scheduled in their recent Europa League game against Sporting Lisbon.

€20,000: Amount UEFA fined Porto after their fans directed racist chants towards Mario Balotelli in a previous Europa League game.

 

[Cerb]

Arsenal the supergays!

 

[Cerb]

What's he planning on doing with that finger?

 

[Aoami]

Hard with the men soft with ladies innit

 

[cHodAX]

[Wazzerphuk]

From @WhoScored on Twitter:

Stoke: Have only completed 5 accurate through balls in league games all season - 5 fewer than any other team in Europe's top 5 leagues

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

More Stoke Stats:

Stoke: Have hit the target with the lowest proportion of their shots (25%) of all 98 teams in Europe's top 5 leagues this season

Stoke have had the fewest shots in this season's PL, with 306

Gone at the end of the season then.

[caLLous]

So what's the deal when there's only 6 games in gameweek 34 and a total of 9 of my players aren't playing? I guess it just gets made up for in the weeks after? Lowest-scoring gameweek incoming.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

You fail at planning Had to take a 4 point hit taking one player more than my 2 allowed free transfers, still left with a couple of players not playing but generally should still get some points.
