Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

[Turamber]

So you can have long ball?

I couldn't give a monkeys how we win games, having a coach that will attack and try to win games will be immense after that turd of a manager we had last season. He has the personality to get the players organised and motivated and hopefully he will know some decent affordable players in the lower leagues and overseas.

 

[rynnor]

On his way to the Villa! Please, please,please. By far the best candidate for the job.

Thats the rumour.

 

[Keitanz]

Source?

Just about everywhere

 

[Keitanz]

I love the transfer window, so many rumours and stuff

Like the Rooney to PSG one he won't leave but if he does it would just be funny to watch as MAn Utd would just implode

You can buy a lot of Crewe Alexandria players with £100 million...

 

[Keitanz]

so fitting

 

[Wazzerphuk]

That's horrific.

 

[Everz]

It seems that us and Albion look likely to have the best managerial appointments this year.

 

[eksdee]

So Martinez is set to stay at Wigan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18283225

Has to be Lambert for Villa then? I think he'd be a great appointment, but it'd be a massive shame for Norwich.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Points go to whoever can get BOTH of these CURRENT players (they're good):

 

[Cerb]

Left looks like Nasri to me

 

[Cerb]

Right maybe Wilshire?

 

[ileks]

Arteta on the left? Pique on the right?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Left looks like Nasri to me

NO!

Right maybe Wilshire?

NO!

Arteta on the left?

YES!

Now we need the guy on the right...

 

[Keitanz]

Left looks like Nasri/Arteta. I don't think Wilshere would have been hanging around with Nasri/Arteta as an 8-10 year old though they are both of the same nationality probably ;s

 

[Cerb]

Now I can't get pique out of my head! Could it be Xabi Alonso on the right?

 

[Cerb]

Or wait...Mata?

 

[Ormorof]

is it Reina? didnt they play together at La Masia?

 

[ileks]

Now I can't get pique out of my head! Could it be Xabi Alonso on the right?

Actually yeah Alonso might be a good shout.

 

[Keitanz]

Yeah it's probably Alonso they have been friends since they were kids and lived very close to each other when they were at Liverpool and Everton..

 

[Scouse]

They both look familiar and the guy in the background wearing the yellow jumper looks like a scouser...

 

[caLLous]

It's gotta be Alonso.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Now I can't get pique out of my head! Could it be Xabi Alonso on the right?

It is!

 

[Raven]

Reebok Pumps!

 

[Billargh]

So Norwich have declined Lamberts attempt at a resignation.

@WhoScored:

Jordan Henderson: 19 English central midfielders averaged more successful passes per game in the PL this season than Henderson's 33.8.

 

[Vasconcelos]

Alonso & Arteta

 

[Turamber]

I'd like to know how Wazzer got hold of Wenger's special scouting photographs.

 

[Keitanz]

Ahh it seems Carrick told the FA that he wanted to either be in the first team or not to be involved at all.. that's why he didn't get picked for the squad.. bit of a prick.

 

[Cerb]

They've fucked him about enough that I wouldn't blame him.
