Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

So, I wonder if SAF still thinks we don't need to dip in the transfer market? Shower of brown-stuff today.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Looking at it from a independent point of view l think Man Utd need a centre back and Midfielder at least and perhaps a experienced goalkeeper as well but somehow Ferguson gives the impression that he is not going to dip into the January transfer market.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Fergie will buy Gotze

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l thought your club was interested in him thenry.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

was and still are but i doubt it'll happen. his old man doesn't approve of it either.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

to be honest the performance today was the same as the past few weeks and even last season too.

We had Park in midfield, a player who offers nothing on the wing and didn't do a think in the centre. Add in Nani who should spend more time in training and learning how to pass and cross than he does on his hair.

Wellbeck isn't good enough to play upfront to using him out of position is recipe for distaster.

We don't have a big enough squad and some of our first team starters aren't good enough either.

For all the goals Hernandez gets when there is a game that requires more than just sticking the ball in the net from a few yards out he struggles and only lasted 45 mins

More and more it looks like defensive injuries will cost us 4th place. It's getting absurd now.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think it will be a desperate battle for 4th place between Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and it could well go down to who has the least depleted squad come May.

Celtic mate, many ties with your club both happy and sad, not a fan of any English side in particular but Liverpool are an amazing institution and your manager is a legend up here. Good luck for the season, hopefully Gerard can stay fit and galvanise your side.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Spurs have quite a history and were the first English side to win a European Trophy. They've also done the double a few times and had a great side in the early 60s.

Chelsea won the league a few times in the past, 55 IIRC when the FA didn't let them enter the European Cup after winning the league. More been known as a decent side that is good in the cup, until the millions from Roman came along

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

we have our MVP :D and 'TiTi' will be available for the Leeds game :D

thee elite; Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are in a league of their own :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Spurs did the double once only, and that was fifty years ago.:p:

And Chelsea won the league once only before they became Chelski and bought their trophies.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Only Liverpool and United have had sustained levels of dominance. Arsenal seem to always be around there, popping up now and then to win titles before giving away to another era. Arsenal won the title in '89 at the end of Liverpool's dominance and before United's. We challenged United's era occasionally before Chelsea came along.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal were also good in the 30s, winning the league three years running I think.

Spurs do have 3 European Trophies to their name and 8 FA Cups so they have a lot more history than some clubs.

We stopped being a decent side a while ago now. Absolutely dire. 14 corners and not one of them threatened your keeper, says it all really.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

You were saying.:D:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

as expected Fulham turned up and put us under it. i wont blame it on having no proper fullbacks, that can be worked around.. what cannot be worked around is the lack of sub talent we have. rosicky is dead, needs to be shifted.. gervinho can't score to save his life.. too annoyed to go on. what i will repeat is we need Gourcuff, an available rough diamond. Wenger pull your finger out!

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Full deserved from Fulham, awful second half.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l think Arsenal because they have 4 full backs out at the moment are paying a very heavy price as teams exploit their defensive frailities to the full and there are one or two midfield players also who do not track back and defend as well..

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

wrong. the cover provided in full back positions has been ok, djourou was finished and needed taking off before he got sent off. our 2 in the middle, song and arteta have a very good understanding and its been evident we're more solid with those two.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Djourou is a centre back by trade so is vulnerable in the full back position plus Coquelin went missing for the second goal and when l am talking about midfield players who don't work hard enough l am talking about two in general and they are Rosicky and Arshavin and Arteta as good as he is is no Fabregas and Song is no Vieira.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Djourou sucks, agreed. I was surprised to see Coquelin in, I honestly thought Miquel would fill the position but he wasn't half bad. we can manage, we've been able to manage.

Rosicky and Arshavin.. forget it, their completely useless who need to be sold during this window.

Arteta is no Fab agreed and Song is no Paddy but it works. Ramsey is slow, not showing some of the class he has in his locker.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Rosicky has been much better this season.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Damien please man, don't tell me your serious. ye he's done ok but he's way too slow for Arsenal. He's aged while inurjied, its unfortunate but such is life at the highest level he needs to go.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Today has made my day, Sir Alex has proved to me that no player is bigger than the club.

I refer to Baby Wayne Rooney getting into a huff over being dropped for a lack of discipline, and quite rightly he was dropped and fined.

I have said this before that it takes a big manager to drop a player who thinks people owe him something. Well done Sir Alex.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Rooney needs to toe the line the money he is on.
He has accepted a fine of £250,000, no doubt accepted via his agent's advice.
I think Rooney assumes that the club need him, although he is a decent player, he is definitely not bigger than the club.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

The celebration for the first Chelsea goal today was one of the most embarrassing things i've ever seen in football...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yeah. The FA report was pretty detailed and convincing. They made enough bad press with that stupid t-shirt stunt and the statement. I hope they issue an official apology to Evra over that.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Brilliant. That makes the club, players and Dalglish in particular look even more stupid. I wonder if they regret the ridiculous statement they put out after the ban was announced? And the t-shirts...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

You'd think that a global brand such as Liverpool FC would have issued a statement apologising for Suarez's behaviour, and taking culpability for not ensuring that their foreign players were aware of what is acceptable and unacceptable in the league they play in. They would have come out smelling better than they do!

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

From the wording of their statement, they are not going to be doing that...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I just watched Gareth Barry give the ball away in two consecutive passes...England international?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Never rated him.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

You at least think they would apologise to Evra for their statement. Even if you buy Liverpool's defence, that he didn't mean it in a racist context, there was no way for Evra to know that. So for them to come out and attack him in a public statement was unacceptable. An apology is the minimum that can be expect from Liverpool but instead they have made themselves in victims. The FA's report doesn't seem to have humbled them other than to make them see they had nothing to appeal on.

Liverpool better not have to the audacity to walk on the pitch with those 'Kick Racism out of Football' promotions after this. They are happy to use it was a PR stunt but when it comes down for it they will attack the accuser if they feel it helps their cause.
