*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

[Uppercut]

Quite enjoying watching Arsenal continue the time-honoured European tradition of making a team full of "spirited" Englishmen run after a football like bell-ends for 90 minutes.

 

[The Sean]

Ha ha, Leeds did everything but send Sagna a written invitation to score there.

 

[The Sean]

Wow.

 

[Uppercut]

Holy crap, what a hit.

 

[Jarquis]

[The Sean]

Two useful subs TBF.

Credit to Leeds that Arsene feels the need to bring them on.

 

[Nate]

Would love it if we could get Luis Suarez. Might stop our attack from being so toothless. 10 days left.

Really don't get the logic in giving Dogleash money to spend in this window.

Local press seem to think he'll get a long-term deal.

He'll bottle it and resign on the eve of a crucial relegation encounter.

 

[GIMH]

I couldn't possibly think what you have against the man

Really don't get the logic in giving Dogleash a job.

The romantic in me would like to see King Kenny make a decent fist of it, but when all the smoke has cleared, the fact remains that he's taken 1 point from 9 and (apparently) if 'Pool fail to defeat the Wolfs today (a very real possibility) his will be the worst start by a Scouse manager for 83 years.

 

[GIMH]

Fixed

I half agree but if there was one thing Liverpool needed to do it was get the fans back on side. Dalglish is revered by Liverpool fans and we all know that the fans being lifted can give a short term boost to a team. Not to mention the theoretical boost the players should get from playing under such a huge figure. Long term though? I don't think he's the answer.

1 from 6 plus a Cup defeat isn't it?

Was speaking metaphorically.

So, anyway there's this tower I own in Paris I'm looking to sell for scrap...

They're playing much better. Will take a while to get the confidence back after such a disastrous start. Not sure he is the long-term answer but he's got the rest of the year to stake his claim.

Yeah, they're all fair points. But it's a bit of a lose-lose situation because if he fails in the short term, the policy won't have worked, and if he succeeds in the short term it'll be very difficult not to give him the job for longer, thereby turning the club even further into Newcastle 2.0.

I don't actually have anything against him - well before my time and he grew up a Rangers fan. When Rangers rejected him as a kid because our scouts didn't think he'd make it, he apparently went up to his room in tears and took down his Rangers posters.

Plus he was part of the 'Dream Team' alongside He Who Corrin Shall Not Name.

He left both Liverpool and Blackburn at times that didn't exactly suit either club though - can't remember the circumstances which saw him leave Newcastle - but I'd question his heart for a long battle to get Liverpool back to where their fans think they belong.
