Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

True, true but as you said, a moment of madness, I can't remember another instance of him ever cheating, no dives I can remember, no real theatrics when fouled. I don't see why that one thing should tarnish his entire career.

It shouldn't, but I'm not willing to be reasonable on this one!

Not sure about Mics but the Refs should be told to book players who swear at them and book anyone who approaches them who is not the captain / vice captain or directly involved. And fuckers waving cards I hate that. After the first few people pick up bans and get fined by the club they will start to change.

 

[Raven]

The likes of Chelski/UTD would be down to about 5 men if they did.

 

[soze]

So would we, a few times this season we have been bad at surrounding the ref and the fucking fake cards! But unless the clubs followed up and docked wages during times you had a ban it would not work.

 

[Cerb]

Oh do fuck off they all do it.

 

[Aoami]

It would be interesting if they adopted the rugby attitude towards refs in football. Refs make far less mistakes in rugby. That may be because its an easier sport to referee, or because they're under less pressure. It'd be worth trying.

He's brilliant, has so much banter in silly Arsenal videos and stuff. Always posting pictures of unsuspecting Arsenal players completely zonked out.

As an Arsenal fan i want to say its banter between two mates and to get a grip. But i suppose he could have a lot of kids following him so I am torn. But he is one nutty fucker.

 

[Scouse]

If I was him I'd have tweeted "Get fucked, fine me. I don't think that I should curb my sense of humour in case someone finds it offensive."

 

[Aoami]

such a non news story.

 

[DaGaffer]

If I was him I'd have tweeted "Get fucked, fine me. I don't think that I should curb my sense of humour in case someone finds it offensive."

Agreed, but that's the danger of using Twitter; some cunt is always going to "take offence", even when they know full well it was the kind of comment actual humans would tease each other with all the time.

De Sanctis after his team scores 4-1

 

[megadave]

that article rather conveniently forgets the actual evidence

 

[Keitanz]

that article rather conveniently forgets the actual evidence

That's the problem, the evidence isn't reliable enough.. you don't convict someone as a murderer if the only evidence is some dude saying it happened...

The only evidence is what Evra has been saying and what Suarez has been saying..

I think Suarez admitted saying "why Negro". So no need for evidence really.

In my country, 'negro' is a word we use commonly, a word which doesn't show any lack of respect and is even less so a form of racist abuse. Based on this, everything which has been said so far is totally false.

 

[Aoami]

In denmark i could run down the street shouting allah is a cunt and get away with it. I couldnt in saudi arabia so i wouldnt. Ignorance is no t excuse luis suarez you cock. I hope he has an fh account and just hasnt told anyone.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, you tell 'im!

He admitted saying it. It doesn't fly in England. He should know that. Liverpool shouldn't be defending him. "It's ok m8 we're not going to appeal the charges which is tantamount to admitting your guilt but we're not going to discipline you in any way".

 

[Keitanz]

Going with a 2-0 win for City tonight I think.l.

 

[Keitanz]

Andy Carroll will score tonight by the way

 

[Deebs]

Is it me or is there an annoying echo on BBC One HD ?

 

[caLLous]

Lol Carroll, he looks useless.

Yay Lennon. Spurs equal on points with Utd as it stands.

 

[Keitanz]

He has looked a lot better than previous matches thats for sure.

 

[caLLous]

Goal for Assou-Ekotto, only his second for Spurs (I think?). Shot from 30yds but took a bit of a deflection.

I like him, he gets some bad press and he makes some mental decisions sometimes but I think he's been great on the whole.

Only 12 more goals to go up to second!!1

 

[megadave]

I think Assou-Ekotto is a very solid defender and I like how he openly admits he doesn't like football


Man City's midfield is a bit shit without Toure and Silva, isn't it?
