   “Rio Ferdinand, David James and Steven Gerrard have been given a stark warning to sort out their fitness issues if they want to be in Fabio Capello’s World Cup squad.”

   Translation: we won’t a get’a out’a the group’a stages without’a them because’a my team’a kinda sucks’a.

   Holy crap, I want to punch Rory Delap. I could grow a beard in the time it takes that SOB to make a throw.

   I consider myself a fairly stupid man. But when I come across gems like the following, I feel like Hawking having sex with Deep Blue.

   Thread from the LFC site forums.

   Title: Voronin could be our Ibra
   Body: Seriously people talk about how good Ibra is, but Voronin has all the attributes to be just as good, he just needs more time on the pitch to show what he can do.

   And the guy was not kidding.

   Best response: He can’t even be our Ngog.

   Falkirk-Celtic still at 0-0 53 minutes in. It saddens me how much that league sucks most of the time.

   It’s a good thing I said something. 1-0 Celtic off of a poor free kick.

   Gary Caldwell cannot be stopped.

   How much longer does McGeady play in Scotland? Is he actually good enough to play anywhere better?

    OH IT’S A SCORING MADHOUSE IN SCOTLAND!

    Hull losing already. Shocker.

    Horrific defending from Hull on the goal.

    Crespo scores for Genoa. What a fall from grace he had. Should be Robbie Keane in a few years hopefully.

    The Moutinho I’ve never heard of and feel safe is saying sucks, scores to put Falkirk up.

    Wondering what Lothar Matthaeus is up to?

    On November 08, 2009 @ 09:25 Anonsters says:

    I hope people are watching Genoa v. Siena. There have been about 5 backpasses by Genoa so far (in the first 20 minutes) that have been rather… exciting. Genoa’s dominating the game, but Siena could have scored 2-3 goals on bad backpasses.

16. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 09:29 Georger says:

    Good lord this Celtic game is crazy nuts.

17. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 09:31 Anonsters says:

    It’s a goalkeeping lollercoaster for Genoa. Mishandled the ball on the edge of the box, Siena can’t do anything with it. If Siena didn’t suck as bad as they do, scoreline would be very different.

    Jermain Defoe broke Craig Gordon’s arm yesterday.

    I thought it was dirty, but apparently I am alone on that.

    Charlton are about to get bounced from the FA Cup by something called “Northwich Victoria.”

25. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:19 phil says:

    Too bad about Gordon. Defoe did seem to kick out, but it’s hard to tell. I want to say he didn’t but it looked to be a very sketchy move when it happened.

    I just saved you eighty five minutes of tedium.

31. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:23 jjf3 says:

    Before I head out – I thought Defoe did a “professional foul-without-looking-like-you-fouled” move on Gordon. Dragged the bag leg, probably not to intentionally hurt him, but to create a small amount of contact that might be leveraged to his advantage…

    Of course, I’m the guy who’s never actually played the game…

32. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:23 phil says:

    Wigan go up on Fulham through Boyce. Apparently some shambolic goalkeeping was involved.

33. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:24 Georger says:

    No Berbatov, no Vidic. Guess that means Drogba will have to abuse some other massively overrated defender.

34. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:25 phil says:

    I’m pretty sure Defoe didn’t intend to injure Gordon, but I don’t think there’s any question that he left a foot in.

    Jozy’s replacement puts Hull ahead.

    Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Deco, Drogba, Anelka.
    Subs: Hilario, Joe Cole, Mikel, Malouda, Paulo Ferreira, Kalou, Alex.

    Man Utd: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs.

    1530: GOAL West Ham 0-1 Everton

    1530: It’s gone a bit scrappy at Upton Park, not the best so far. West Ham are still on top, Everton have not offered anything at all.

45. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:35 phil says:

    In fairness, Georger, most of the soccernet fellows are preoccupied with writing effusive copy for the ManU match. They can’t really pay much attention to any other matches.

46. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 10:35 ü75 says:

    Love it when that happens. Like above where I denigrated the SPL and lack of goals in one game, only for it to finish 3-3 35 minutes later.

    Jozy starts, Hull wins. Even Phil Brown has to see that correlation right?

57. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 11:04 Georger says:

    Jozy gets pulled, his replacement wins the game, is the more likely correlation.

    That Brown will see anyway.

64. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 11:26 Georger says:

    I think it’s “che,” the play by play guy is getting it right, the other guy, who reeks of cheap gin and hemophilia, is putting a hard “k” in there somewhere.

    Via an OG, that is.

68. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 11:31 phil says:

    Check that, seems like the goal is being credited to West Ham, but it looked like an OG to me.

    Yeah. “No malice”. Right.

    Question–why was EBJT staying down? He headed cleanly after clocking Valencia with the elbow.

    “Question–why was EBJT staying down? He headed cleanly after clocking Valencia with the elbow”

    The old “I’m hurt too you can’t book me” routine, a fan favorite.

    This game is groin grabbingly dull.

    if grabbing your groin is dull, you’re definitely doing it wrong

    All apologies, NYK.

77.

    And now West Ham’s goal has been changed to an OG on Hibbert, as it should be.

82. 
    On November 08, 2009 @ 11:44 ü75 says:

    Well, it was a head injury of sorts, based on where EBJT grabbed. I guess he feels the game is Georger-level dull as well.
