*Official* English Football Season 2011-12

[Ikki]

I think he means in terms of instigating a fight so that one of theirs swings back and gets red carded too. Not that he'd assault and maim them.

 

[GIMH]

Tbf I actually think his excuse makes him look worse anyway

Definitely picked the wrong bloke to try to wind up then.

Nearly said something borderline racist about Argentinians there, but thought better of it. Must be getting soft in my old age.

 

[roseboy64]

It's the hope that kills you. Well done to City.

 

[Cabinet96]

Incredible day, happy that City won. Delighted that Arsenal finished 3rd as well.

i finally got a call right

Why do you think Jono suggested you should stop posting in CC? No one doubts your predicting ability in other sports.

 

[sledger]

Just pathetic.

Absolutely, don't think it could be summed up anymore succinctly.

The guy's just a thoroughly toxic presence on the game and any side he plays in. Absolutely wretched. Wouldn't be at all surprised if QPR get shot of him, and if they have a modicum of sense they'll make doing so a priority.

Yeah and they shouldn't even need him next year, Diakite should sign permanently and Faurlin will be fit again. Maybe one more buy and they can have central midfield covered.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, should have thought the prospects of all those things happening are good, so I suspect he'll be shown the door. Wonder who'll take him though, I can't imagine many Premiership clubs would be willing to risk it unless they are really desperate, particularly seeing as he's not a good enough a player to balance out the negative consequences that may arise from one of his "incidents".

Could see him joining a side like Leeds actually, thus making them the personification of horribleness squared.

 

[Jarquis]

Warnock that signed him for QPR so could happen

 

[grecian]

Umm, think Joey rather slated Colin after he left in his classical way, so probably not.

Hey, as long as he doesn't play for my club, I just like his entertainment quotient, such a nob it's hilarious.

 

[Eds]

How did Barton land himself the armband?

See I actually think Barton's various incidents could make him a good value punt in the transfer market. If QPR want rid of him I can't see them being twattish about a fee, so if you were confident enough in your ability to get the most out of him he represents a potential bargain.

Reckon Stoke will go down next season, they've been completely and utterly found out. Pulis has done a great job to establish Stoke as a Premier League club, despite the terrible brand of football they play, but I don't see them staying up next season without making serious changes to the way they play. They get absolutely **** all in the way of goals from midfield.

It's fantastic that all 3 promoted clubs stayed up as well.

 

[Ausage]

This club is an absolute joke. I'm ashamed to support them. I'm going to bed.

Like I actually went to bed you stupid ****s.

Epic.

Yep, and they all play football too, hopefully the teams coming up will learn from that. Even though not much chance of that if Fat Sam comes up.

Reading, Southampton and Blackpool would all be excellent value though.

Villa to go down if Mcleish stays, would be good to get rid of them and Stoke.

 

[Burgey]

Well this sounds like it was a fantastic end to the season. Well done City, a great moment for their long suffering fans.

Does worry me that clubs are starting to just buy premierships though

Hmm there are a few worrying signs for Stoke but I don't think their style of play will be enough of a weakness to actually take them down so long as they continue defending well. The problem with such a physical style of play is that they're totally ****ed if the players start to lose motivation, but there aren't really any signs of that happening for a while yet- they still feel like an overachieving club rather than a stagnating one.

They (and a lot of other teams) need to find another way of playing away from home against big clubs, though. The deep two-bank defence just isn't really working anymore.

They've been abysmal in the second half of the season.

 

[grecian]

Yep as someone who had an handicap patent on Torquay, Saints and them, I've been fairly disgusted by their form, the one time I wanted them to do well, as Furball says they will need to improve, next year.

Hopefully we'll be rid of 'em soon.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Speaking of Stoke: just seen Walters opener.

Bit of a Nat Lofthouse jobby to say the least. Ironically the great man's team on the receiving end tho.
