2010/2011 English Premier League Discussion Thread

i think it was two yellows he got & the second one he should not have got

Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Mbb.
Forty percent of all people know that.

we are in a strong position now to go on & win it - man utd record away from home is dreadful so they will drop a lot more points

Uniteds form away from home in the Champions league is superb. If only they treated a trip to St Andrews like it was a trip to the San Siro they would be grand. United will win the league by 8-10 points. City will bottle another Manchester Derby in February.

A second yellow equals red. Glad to clear up the confusion. It could have been a straight red in any case

Man City 1 - 2 Everton

That’s the only stat that really matters. They don’t award points for possession or shots on target.

KIB is doing some bluffing on this thread today.

Amazing the anti-EPL crowd watch so much EPL. Fascinating. :rolleyes:

Zonal Marking has nothing on you Mac :rolleyes:

huh?

I don’t enjoy this Christmas football one bit. Particularly when fucking Liverpool Wolves is the match on telly tonight. I watched Arsenal Chelsea and couldn’t concentrate for more than a couple of seconds at a time due to the volume of booze and rich foods sloshing about inside me. I’m joining with Avram Grant and Steve Bruce today in calling for a winter break. Stop the madness.

nasri not playing, after 2 great weeks i’m getting fucked in fantasy league.

:rolleyes:
There is a fantasy football thread…

Says yer man who puts John Doyle dying on the 2010 Hurling Championship thread.

A hurler like that at least goes into the Celeb deaths, or gets a thread of his own.

One of the major reasons i watch EPL is for fantasy purposes.

Liverpool have done really well to keep Wolves scoreless so far

Something had to give

City have Dzeko wrapped up it seems, 40m.

Wolves thoroughly deserved to win that. It was about as bad of a performance as I have ever seen from a Liverpool team and that says something.

El-Hadji Diouf has launched a scathing attack on former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher, claiming the Reds defender has “done nothing with his life”.

There is little love lost between the pair with Carragher highly critical of Diouf during his two years at Anfield.

Former England international Carragher criticised the Blackburn forward in his autobiography, saying Diouf didn’t care about winning or losing.

“In all my years at Anfield, I have never met a player who cared less about winning or losing. His name - along with Salif Diao - still makes even the toughest Liverpudlians shudder with fear,” Carragher wrote.

Diouf has now issued his riposte, mocking the talent and personality of Liverpool hero and stalwart Carragher

“If Liverpool had ten players like Carragher then they would never win anything,” Diouf is quoted as saying in The Sun.

"Carragher, for me, is nothing. He’s like a make of ketchup or mustard to a normal person: not important. I played for Liverpool for two years and Carragher never spoke to me. That’s life - some people are like that. We didn’t have a team at Liverpool. We had the English somewhere and the French boys somewhere. If it’s like that - you can do nothing together.

“Carragher is just a guy who loves to talk, but Caragher doesn’t sell papers, Carragher doesn’t sell shirts.”

Diouf puts Carragher’s attack on him down to jealousy, insisting the former England defender never liked the money or attention that followed Diouf from France and his success at the 2002 World Cup.

When assessing Carragher’s evaluation of him as a player, Senegal international Diouf insists he prefers to listen to Pele and Diego Maradona, who both once named him in the world’s top 100 players.

"When I played at Liverpool, Carragher could have talked to me then, but he didn’t. He was jealous of me - that’s why he talked about me. Because when I came to Liverpool, I earned more than him and I was a bigger name than him. I took my country to the World Cup and to the finals of the African Nations Cup.

“So Carragher can’t criticise me because, to me, he has done nothing with his life. I’m not going to listen to what Carragher says. I listen to the big men, the greats of football.”

He’s dead right. Carragher is an absolute nobody.

What kind of cunt doesn’t care which brand of ketchup they use?
