Consortium of one

Even though I'm old enough to be his father, Shola is like a father to me...

I say buy him for 10M. Carroll will score 6 in 18, Rodgers will get sacked and the new Liverpool manager will want Carroll back for 20M.

I liked Nolan. I thought he played an integral role in building team spirit, helped get straight back up and solidified us in Premier League. And then he did the club a favor when he demanded too much and found another club willing to pay it.

Wow. I love the quotes from HBA.

...was reading that Solksjaer likes to brain baby seals with a ball peen hammer for laughs c*nt

Have to give credit to him for persevering. We all had him written off and it looks like the club did too. He worked hard and seized the opportunity when it presented itself. Good on him. He has earned his spot on the team. He's like a swiss army knife and every club needs a man like that.

Player of the Season : Tim Krul Most Disappointing Player : Obertan Best Game Attended : Best Result : 3-0 over Man U Goal Of The Season: Cisse #2 against Chelsea Best Signing: Cisse Best Prospect: Santon Best Solo Performance: Tim Krul (a few games, IMO)

The game was played while I was in work. I recorded it and tried to stay away from any site that would spoil the outcome. Around halftime I couldn't help myself and came here. By the time I was driving home it was still 1-0. When I got home I came here for the outcome and then watched the game. Cisse had two brilliant strikes. The man has ice water in his veins. Coming off the last whipping, the fact that the club played with the confidence that it did, speaks volumes about the spirit of the players and their manager. Brilliant display.

I think we can keep pushing for CL places. With the club spirit, good scouting and a more methodical approach from Ashley there is no reason why we can't push for top 4. ManUre and Man City will be top teams. Arsenal will also be right there. Chelsea will still be aging and will lack the vision and patience to rebuild. Tottenham will lose Modric and Bale as well as 'Arry. Liverpool will continue to flounder. That will leave the door open for us, IMO.

Sounds like he'd be perfect as deputy for Cabaye.

The way Willo and Perch played if there is any doubt about Colo's fitness he should sit another game. No sense in rushing him back. Considering Perch's run of form, if Colo is 100% I'd like to see Perch at RB and Santon at LB. However, it's more likely that Pardew will go Simmo at RB and Perch for Santon at LB.

Must win game.

We didn't value the ball enough and gave it away too easily. Arsenal were closing down hard and we didn't handle it well, especially in the 2nd half. The players were often bunched up and the passes too quick and hard. I thought we defended well but began to wither under the pressure. Still, we deserved a point. Van Persie is playing like the best striker in the world right now but that is no excuse to act like a prick.

Great job by the club. Maybe Colo can buy the other half of that car now.

Gotta give credit where credit is due: He's given a good effort where ever he's been asked to play. He's played either fullback, central midfield and out on the right wing. Successful teams needs guys like Ryan Taylor. He's not the most talented or physically gifted but he's given his all for the club this season.

Right now, if Ben Arfa wants a starting spot it will have to be on the right wing. The club pretty much has to stay with the 442 as long as Ba and Cisse are healthy. That means that HBA has to track back defensively to help cover for Simpson. Obertan appears to be working harder but he passes the ball to the opposition too much. Raylor, at this point in time, plays better as a defensive winger.

Very tidy on the ball and looks to be playing with a lot of confidence. He'll get plenty of time to play, especially next year when we're playing in Europe.

Barton's a good footballer but is too high maintenance. Everything has to be right for him to really shine, it seems.

Impact sub!

Wow. Never saw this coming. Not only does it fill a need but it shows that maybe Fat Bastard does have some ambition.

Liverpool, Racistpool and Dalglishpool for me

Racistpool 1-2 Newcastle Ba, Ben Arfa for us

Points deduction and random executions, IMO.

And they aren't very physical either. I don't think Swansea has the beef to take advantage of the lightweight pair, though.
