*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

[Uppercut]

Van der Sar, Reina, Sorenson, Cech, Given, Robinson, Howard, Hahnemann, James, Begovic, Schwarzer, Hart, Green, Jaaskelainen, Friedel, Jensen, Myhill > Almunia.

Surely missing a few names there, but I got tired with typing.

I did this ages ago and the Arsenal contingent shouted me down!

I'm not sure when you did it but last season he was ok, this season he's been a level below awful though.

 

[Uppercut]

Mid-October IIRC.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I've never rated him. Had one season of vague competance before reverting to type. Goalkeeping equivalent of a panic attack. Comfortably the worst no.1 we've had since I've been watching.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Mokoena v Almunia. Worst player of the season?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ryan Shawcross constantly manhandling Kenwyne Jones in the area and getting away with it. Dreadful refereeing.

 

[Agent TBY]

I love how Robbie Keane is always reported as a "lifelong supporter" of whichever new club he signs for.

And a clear Huth handball turned down for a penalty appeal. Linesman was right there!

He's Irish. Isn't exactly a huge leap that he'd be in love with Liverpool and Celtic tbh.

 

[Craig]

Scott McDonald and Lee Millar leave Celtic and Aberdeen respectively for Middlesbrough. They join the signings of Barry Robson, Willo Flood and Chris Killen from Celtic, together with the loan additions of Stephen McManus and Kyle Naughton.

 

[Matteh]

Good to see Celtic joined the English leagues this year.

 

[Ausage]

Mokoena v Almunia. Worst player of the season?

Can Keith Andrews play too?

 

[Craig]

If Victor Moses who just signed for Wigan, goes on to play for England and does well, then because of his surname, I just see all the puns used in the media will be of biblical proportion.

 

[The Sean]

Apparently United are going to appeal Ferdinand's ban - again. Beggars belief, I don't see what we're trying to accomplish. He's been found guilty twice and all we're going to do here is antagonise the FA, who TBH don't seem to need much of an excuse to make an example of United these days. Reckon he'll get scrubbed for the Carling Cup Final at this rate.

Seriously cant believe there is any way in the world that he can get off - he was caught on camera smacking a guy in the head

I hope there is a mechanism by which the FA can increase the penalty as they are simply wasting everybody's time

 

[sledger]

Yeah, an appeal allows for the ban to be lengthened as well as shortened.

The rumours are that United are going to use a combination of "Fagan was all over him, punching him and being generally mean" and the "Mascherano did it and didn't get punished" defences. I'm sure Fagan wasn't an angel, and it's ****ing annoying that Masch did the same thing without an accompanying witch-hunt, but neither of those things make Rio any less guilty of smacking the guy in the head. He's got four matches, let's man up and cop the ban before the FA get seriously pissed off and make it five, or six, or more.

 

[Jarquis]

Apparently Wayne Bridge sent his ex-wife a replica of his old fella moulded in Cadbury's chocolate.







She said she preferred Terrys.

Probably in here somewhere but this is the only one I remember reading...

I heard Capello just rang Wayne Bridge saying Terry has lost the captain's armband....





He asked him if he could look under his bed for it

 

[Uppercut]

That was ****ing awful from Myhill. Keepers that are incompetent at positioning themselves for free kicks grind my gears so much.

 

[Agent TBY]

Wayne Bridge’s wife must be a goalpost in Moscow because John Terry hit it.

I knew JT liked scoring at The Bridge, but this is just ridiculous.

Pity, Wayne Bridge wasn’t even first choice with his wife!

To sum it all up: John Terry cheats, can’t keep a clean sheet and scores away from home.
