*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well if he's injured surely Rafa the clown would have whinged about it in every interview?

He almost certainly isn't injured. But if he is, you'd think Rafa would try to keep it out of the news, because he's already been criticised heavily for buying an expensive injury-prone player who (in his estimation) has taken a lifetime to become match fit.

Ridiculous performance by Liverpool though. Wolves played very well, but Liverpool never looked like anything more than a team in a relegation scrap. Gerrard was well off pace, and there was little pretense to creatively otherwise. The game was crying out for Aquilani.

 

[Nate]

Crying out in pain, waiting to be shot even. Yuck.

 

[Ikki]

Wow, I seriously wouldn't mind if Rafa got fired after that. No, really, I wouldn't. Some chicken****, unbelievably inept decision making there.

2 subs left and umpteen players doing nothing - **** all. FFS, Ngog looks 3 times the player Kuyt is at CF. Why the **** not play Pacheco in a game like this? In a way I am glad he didn't do his usual bull**** sub in the 85th minute because that would have pissed me off even more. I've never seen a manager have so much misplaced faith in some players and almost no trust in others. For this reason alone Rafa will NEVER succeed like Ferguson.

Go and get ****ed, seriously.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ferdinand could miss 3 games due violent conduct v Hull

Liking this.

going down, going down, going down.......

There has been talk in Italy that Benitez taking over at Juventus. As an Inter fan I hope he does.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

A friend of mine (who will remain unnamed, as he's on CW) was telling me today that he'd like to see Rafa at Real. ITSTL.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Asked why Alberto Aquilani was an unused substitute after starting in the win over Spurs, Benitez added: "The team was doing well. Today the decision was to play Gerrard or him. Gerrard has the power and can go forward and change games. He can support the striker in a different way.

"During the game it was very physical and the ball was always in the air. It would have been difficult to bring on a player for 15-20 minutes and keep the ball on the ground. We preferred to continue with the players we had because we were defending well and were a threat on the counter attack".

Weak.

Must be a Barcelona fan then.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Must be a Barcelona fan then.

Not hard to be when Manuel Pellegrini is your manager.

 

[Craig]

Manuel Garcia Quillon, who acts as Benitez's agent, yesterday rejected talk of an immediate move, but refused to be drawn on his client's intentions in the long term.

“Benitez to Juventus? In football you never know. Right now, that hypothesis is not correct because he is a very important figure [at Anfield]. The idols of the fans are Gerrard, Torres and Benitez.

Benitez is an idol? ITSTL.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Probably a Biblical idol with Shankly playing the part of God in this proverb.

 

[GIMH]

Can we stop talking about Liverpool, the whites are staying up

 

[marc71178]

Must be a Barcelona fan then.

I was thinking Ikki

 

[The Sean]

Liking this.

Don’t think there’s much “could” about it TBH, watching the replay it’s hard to see what possible defence he has. ****ing stupid thing to do Rio, particularly, as you’ve only just come back and we really needed you for the upcoming games.

Of course, I’ll not lower myself to mentioning that it seems yet again that retrospective trial by video only applies to United players…

Got sent this, humorous rant from a QPR fan

I take more pleasure in seeing Chelsea lose than I do in seeing QPR win at the moment.
I sat through so many matches when we were absolute dog****e under the likes of Ray Harford and with people like Paul Bruce, Matthew Brazier and Mark Perry in the squad and I never felt like this.
The club isn't ours anymore but moreso than that - football is just properly gash these days.
I mean really gash.
Football generally.
I hate nearly everything about it these days....
I hate the Prem and the myth that it is exciting this year. Man City breaking into the top four isn't exciting. They spent loads of money. It's no more exciting that Nameless **** getting to number 1 in the charts after winning the X-Factor.
I hate the myth of Arsene's kids. Buying some French kid when he's 17, playing him in the League Cup and then selling him when he's 20 after about 3 appearances in the league is NOTHING SPECIAL.
I hate hearing about Liverpool/Man Utd's debt but nothing ever happening about it. A club needs to go to the wall for the money thing to change but it doesn't happen. Why the **** are Charlton, Leeds and Southampton still in business?
I hate Frank Lampard's stupid ****ing face. I hate that Joe Cole's tongue is never in his mouth, the downsy spacker. I hate John Terry being England captain when he's CLEARLY AN OAF.
I hate young exciting wingers who have nothing but pace. Tony Scully had nothing but pace.
I hate Harry ****ing Redknapp. And Jamie Redknapp. And Louise Redknapp... And the Wii.
I hate Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.
I hate Garth Crooks.
I hate Garth Brooks a lot for that matter.
I hate Sky Sports.
I hate that when a lower league player beats 10 players and chips the keeper it doesn't matter but if Rooney scores from more than 20 yards it's amazing.
I hate that female sports journos are now mandatory.
I hate Mark Lawrenson for not coming out. 'I do like a big man at the back'. I bet you do...
I hate any advert that portrays football to be about anything other than pain and disappointment.
I hate Lee Hughes and the fact that he makes a living from the game. I hate Marlon King and any team that signs him when he gets out. I hate that it'll probably be us.
I hate Phil Brown.
I hate 'well the ball is a lot lighter now and will cause goalkeepers real problems this summer' before EVERY ****ING TOURNAMENT!
I hate that Kieron Dyer earned more in the time I took to write this post than I'll earn this month.
I hate Adrian Durham, Ian Wright and Alan Brazil.
I hate Gazza. Either die or shut up. Stop ****ing lingering.
I hate hearing about Hillsborough more than I hear about Heysel or Bradford.
I hate Leeds.
I hate Roy Keane.
I hate grown men wearing football shirts of their team whilst shopping on a Saturday when their team is playing at home.
I hate that I don't hate Roy Hodgson.
I hate Jermaine Beckford and any player who has neck tattoos.
I hate songs being inappropriately taken as club anthems and then sung in a manly way. 'I'm forever blowing bubbles....'. Gaylords.
I hate Danny Dyer and anyone he's ever interviewed.
I hate the book 'Cass' by Cass Pennant. It is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever read. Chapter 1: Millwall. 'Yeah we took 50 to Millwall. They had 1000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Chapter 2: Liverpool. 'Yeah we took 50 to Liverpool. They had 2000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. **** me... Jade Goody's autobiography is probably better. Even her non-ghost-written one.
I hate that all good youngsters end their careers at Spurs before they start.

I will say what I've said when I've read this on a lot of forums. Over-rated piece of whing toss, coz I quite like football.

Here's mine:

I hate when some whinging rose-tinted specs spite-machine with only self-evident ****ing crap to spout get's such an inordinate amount of publicity.

Having said that I'm probably only ranting about it because I hate football a tad this morning.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Benayoun supposedly on his way to Russia, pending a decision on a fee.

Traitor.

 

[Uppercut]

I hate people whining about how football ain't what it used to be.

 

[Uppercut]

Not only did you beat me to it, but that's a much, much better retort.
