That's Suarez off penalty duty :lol:
I wonder if this imbecile will be tweeting the next time Rooney, Hernandez, Nani, etc. go down easily.Quote:
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand on Twitter: "Watched NUFC vs AFC and I think a 'stayonyourfeet' t-shirt needs sending out! The game is better off with no diving, sadly a part of our game now."
He's talking about Barton, right?Quote:

Wow, my last tweet wasn't well received...can't always be the good guy on here...steady down though, its not like I just cussed your mums!
A new set of MOTD titles on the way apparently. Yay. No changes where they are really needed though however: format, 'pundits'.
Hmm. Slightly more convincing graphics this time out, but I'm still not too sure what point it's trying to make.
Nngh - still the same 'highlights of every match' run then. It doesn't work!! Just creates frustration with viewers when there doesn't need to be. Do away with any chance of accusations of bias and go back to the 1992-2001 format: two main games, brief highlights of one more, and the goals from the other matches. Simple as that. I know they have plenty of jobbing commentators filling up the payroll to whom they need to throw a regular bone, but come on...
There goes the crock again. As always - completely innocuous too. Call it a day now eh lad?
Stunning strike from Cahill. Not up there with his airborne-volley in the Second City derby in 2006, but then, what would be? :scarf:
Muh that was soft. QPR backline were completely statuesque there. Blimey lads it's only a low-driven free-kick, not the sword ascending from the stone!
Case in point. Ten minutes for the supposed main-match is an absolute joke - just playing into the hands of an audience who they like to think have little or no attention span, and look upon 'all the other teams' purely for brief disposable entertainment. 30, 20, 5, and goals respectively please!Quote:

Time to go back to things like that, or the viewing figures will plummet - and with them, the rights.
If it's a foul then RIchardson has to go there. Not that it seemed to be much of a foul of course.. :lol:
And now.... :haha:
That's more like it Downing, a few more runs like that for us this season an... oh
Seb's goal was worthy of the hype alright, what a brilliantly weighted finish that was - especially as it took an age to come out of the air.
Ah there's the "could have won 3 or 4". HansenBot August 2011 patch is Assurance Tested and ready to roll out.
Always hard to tell from a pithy match edit but looks like we were restricted to a lot of efforts from distance. We could definitely do with a bit more penetration in there. I think FWIW Albrighton will eventually become what we now call an Attacking Centre Midfielder, and responsible for that kind of thing, but that's not his game yet.
thanks for not using my match of the day thread for all that
wanker
:unsure:
Rors conversing with himself :bow:.
And surely Albrighton should be starting over Heskey?
With a manager like McLeish though, Heskey will always be first on the team sheet. Just needs Cameron Jerome as a partner and Eck will be set for the season.
We've always used the match day thread for MotD chat.Quote:

This should be the season for Albrighton - I suppose the fear is that he would end up burning himself out, and it doesn't really matter if that happens to Emile, but he needs to be starting even so. Without happening we would end up being a fairly slow side - which as much of a cliche as it has become, dropping a bit in pace wouldn't help us. We have enough bones creaking in centre-mid as it is.
In the current absence of a Sunday Supplement thread, here's our marker for the rest of the season. This one will take some beating:
Cunstis: "Joey Barton is a bright lad".
Talk about your target constituency..
Friend of mine who watched it said, and I quote 'it was the most boring game of football I've ever witnessed', high praise indeed.Quote:

He's probably decent at fly half as well. :unsure:
There was indeed contact, not much, but just enough. Richardson deserved it for trying a hoof on the halfway line anyway. All that was missing from Suarez was the pike at the end, but that will come...Quote:

Two months to do research. :lol:
Stoke: Begovic, Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington, Jones, Walters.
Subs: Sorensen, Collins, Pugh, Diao, Whitehead, Wilkinson, Shotton.
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Kalou, Torres, Malouda.
Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Benayoun, Drogba, Ferreira, McEachran, Anelka.
Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)
Ray Wilkins is co-commentating. :doh:
Nice bit of hoofage on display so far from the visitors.
Silky football from Stoke.
:bow:
First name terms - Jonathan - and a "bless him" from Ray so far. This is going to be a long season. ("9 minutes of great Premier League football"? He might want to up his standards a bit...)
Stoke fans certainly lively today, every Chelsea error being met with big cheers. And now a "John Terry/what a wanker"
Shawcross booked, just plain hacked at Torres.
