he always was pretty special with dead balls.

Language lessons: Terry to help eradicate on-pitch behaviour concerns in PFA meeting

Terry championing good behaviour on the pitch.

 

[soze]

Anti-Racism charity's are calling for Terry and both Ferdinand brothers to get FA Bans. This could start to enter silly season and I can see why Arsenal appear to have advised players to stop using Twitter, it is far to east to say something stupid and have it explode.

 

[cHodAX]

Twitter is fucking disaster in the hands of people with little or no education and too much time.

[Aoami]

Don't know why Newcastle want him, especially as Pardew came out in the press assuring Ba of a central role. Only think I can think is that they've had a few good offers for Ba or Cisse.

 

[Raven]

Sell him for 35 million
Buy him for 10 million
Sell him for 25 million

 

[caLLous]

If they can buy him for £10m it's not a bad bit of business, even if you disregard the fact that they sold him for £35m the year before. He's not a *bad* player, he was just waaaay over-valued previously. I would say £10-15m would be about his actual worth.

And fucking lol if it goes through, if I was Newcastle I'd be pushing for it just to lol at Liverpool. And even more lol if he slid gracefully back into Newcastle's starting 11 and starting banging goals in.

 

[Aoami]

it says loan though, not to buy

 

[CorNokZ]

The Danish season has started and Copenhagen turned a 0-2 with a man down to 4-2 at home!

Love it

Olgaline you were saying something about AGF, lulz?

 

[caLLous]

...with a view to a permanent move. Don't ruin my fun.

 

[soze]

Ba has a £7m release clause from what i read. So AC might just be a bit of Insurance in case he is poached. For £7m I would not might Arsenal taking a punt when RVP leaves.

 

[Aoami]

he'll probably turn up in china

 

[Aoami]

Pardew is the kind of manager I can see going with a big man and a 99 pace black guy up front in a 442. Maybe Ba would be a bench warmer as he tailed off greatly in the second part of last year as Cisse stole the show, and Carroll improved as the year went on for lol fc. Wouldn't be surprised to see him move on though and think he could warm the bench at a better club than Newcastle and be a bit part player for someone like, as you say, Arsenal. I think he would be a good fit at spurs and if its true he is available for 7m, I'm surprised they didn't look at him over Adebayor, especially as Defoe seems to be packing his bags.

 

[Vladamir]

Just read that Inter flogged Lucio and Forlan on frees to Juve & Internacional respectively, strange business.

 

[Everz]

It's funny because Rodgers is a shithouse of a manager, when he's sacked by December we can all laugh even more at Lollerpool FC.

 

[Everz]

No worries though 'Pool, you still have...

 

[Billargh]

I really hope we don't get Carroll, even if it would be lolworthy at Liverpools expense.

edit- http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11669/7903423/Reds-reject-Carroll-approach

phew!

 

[Ch3tan]

Not enough of a wage contribution in their bid... so it's please try again from Pool, rather than out right rejection.

Oh and Wazz, fix your spreadsheet. England just won world cup 2014 in my game, and won it by outclassing the opposition in each game.... with Pearce as manager.

 

[Billargh]

They've rejected one bid man, they can do it again!

I dont know what happend to the FCM players....but you got owned "on your own field" for 70 mins.
I wouldnt get to cocky if I was FCK fan. AGF how ever were unlucky due to an insane amount of over time 6mins!!

Well, I agree that Twitter is a disaster - though not for the reason you gave.

The problem with Twitter is that people want to stop other people saying what they think. When humans disagree with other humans it's not enough for them to think "I disagree with that" - they think "I disagree with that - and that other person should DIE AND HAVE HIS WORDS BANNED FOR LIFEZ0rRRRrrR!err$R"2r22r"

Twitter just shows humans up for being A) the dumb monkeys we are, and; B) the natural facists that we are.

Interesting sidebar in that story:

Fernando Torres - £50m Liverpool to Chelsea, Jan 2011
Sergio Aguero - £38m Atletico Madrid to Manchester City, July 2011
Andy Carroll - £35m Newcastle Utd to Liverpool, Jan 2011
Robinho - £32.5m Real Madrid to Man City, Sept 2008
Andriy Shevchenko - £30.8m AC Milan to Chelsea, July 2006
Dimitar Berbatov - £30.75m Tottenham to Man Utd, Sept 2008
Rio Ferdinand - £29.1m Leeds United to Manchester United July 2002

Of those Top 7 British Transfer Records - of which Andy Carroll is third - only Sergio Aguero and Rio Ferdinand have worked out.

Two out of seven.


Methinks the reason Andy and Liverpool's backs are being constantly humped on - rather than City, Chelski or United's, is a lot of anti-Liverpool sentiment tbfh.

Chelski have two fails. United have a 50% hit rate, as do City. Liverpool have the single fail - and the only reason the had the money to spend was that Chelski poached Torres and they needed a striker, Carroll was looking awesome and on-form and we told Chelski - "Carroll + 15 million"...

 

[eksdee]

Poached lol, he wanted to move to a big club.

 

[DaGaffer]

Hmm, I'd say Berbatov is a bit more complex than a "fail" (more a change of system) and he has been top scorer at United. United have had far more clear cut failures on their books than Berbatov. Its also too early to write Torres at Chelsea off.
