The Bootroom: Handsfree and Full of Placentas

Not the handroom.

Not the handroom.

League play returns today after what seems like a month off. It wasn’t, but there was enough drama for a month in the last week with the World Cup qualifiers. Riots, upsets, controversial plays and Irish luck conspiracy theories. You couldn’t really ask for more as a fan.

Hopefully league play can match the excitement. Liverpool is facing a must win tie against Citeh having won only one match in the last nine. The Reds injury crisis seems to be abating thanks to placentas, odd as that may seem.

There are some other games in multiple leagues across the continent. There will be some good calls, bad calls and controversial calls, but let’s not get out the flamethrowers just yet.

    4-4

  4. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:51 The NY Kid says:

    man, is Adebayor a lazy git

  5. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:52 The NY Kid says:

    Shay Given is just incredible

  6. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:54 phil says:

    I was going to come here and talk about football, but since I’ve never played in an EPL game, Dustin says I can’t talk about them.

  7. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:54 Georger says:

    Agger will find a way to miss four months with a cut over his eye.

  8. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:55 phil says:

    I <3 Shay Given. With Citeh's porous back line, he is like a man at a mark, and remains unflappable.

  9. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:56 phil says:

    @NYK: Roy Keane disagrees. Given is supposed to be everywhere at once.

  10. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:58 phil says:

    Spurs-Wigan got moved to tomorrow, and still won’t be televised. Crap.

  11. On November 21, 2009 @ 07:58 Georger says:

    This guy doesn’t realize Slovakia isn’t Slovenia.

  12. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:01 James T says:

    jesus christ, we’re the walking fucking wounded!

  13. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:02 Georger says:

    We need to stop complaining though, because Jack Wilshire is hurt.

  14. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:02 The NY Kid says:

    @phil – some of the guys on the pitch right now haven’t ever played an EPL match either.

    HEY-O!

    /get it? Because they’re not good.

  15. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:03 phil says:

    De Jong is really a nasty beast.

  16. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:04 James T says:

    it would be so awesome if we could play with 11 men sometime today

  17. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:05 Georger says:

    Bellamy’s two years is now one year.

    Babel needs to come off. What a fucking nightmare.

  18. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:06 Georger says:

    Does Babel have Alopecia, or is that chalk all over his head?

  19. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:06 The NY Kid says:

    I foresee a Pepe Reina injury after the 3rd sub has already been made, requiring a Stevie G appearance in net

  20. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:07 phil says:

    Geez, it’s like ‘Pool are taking sniper fire…

  21. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:09 Georger says:

    Babel actually was playing well too, what a shame. There is no way in hell Carragher is seeing this game out.

  22. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:10 phil says:

    ‘Pool are playing a very disciplined match right now. Need to create some chances, though

  23. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:12 Georger says:

    Sweet Wolverine jacket on the guy in the front row there.

    Oh no Kolo Toure is hurt HOW EVER WILL CITY OVERCOME THAT KEY LOSS????

  24. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:12 phil says:

    This is the shite luck derby. Now Toure is down.

  25. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:13 Georger says:

    “Sense of bewilderment now as Ryan Babel limps off, victim of a clash with Steven Gerrard”

    Really BBC? I know Gerrard and de Jong look so much alike, so I can see that mistake being easy to make.

    Not sure why I insist on reading liveblogs of a game I’m watching on tv.

  26. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:16 Georger says:

    Agger has a concussion. Thirteen months recovery time, as a guess.

  27. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:17 Georger says:

    If Tevez does retire, he has a long career ahead of him as a Gaddafi impersonator.

  28. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:20 phil says:

    ‘Pool starting to put some pressure on goal now…

  29. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:24 Georger says:

    Scott Norwood is taking over for SWP in the wide right position.

  30. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:24 Ryan says:

    Anyone listen to The Football Ramble? I’m slowly coming around to their position on SWP.

  31. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:28 Georger says:

    LOOK AT THAT JERK, HE DROPPED HIS NOTES!

  32. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:28 Nathaniel says:

    This ‘Pool/Citeh game is absolute shite thus far.

  33. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:29 Nathaniel says:

    And good morning to all, btw.

  34. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:31 Ryan says:

    I like how ESPN has both a “Soccer” and an “MLS” tab on it’s bottom line.

  35. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:34 Georger says:

    This announcer clearly has a fiver on SWP scoring. Absolutely ripping him, AND suggesting that that was a penalty.

  36. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:34 phil says:

    @Ryan: It’s too bad that ESPN has figured that out, but Sunil and Bradley haven’t.

  37. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:36 James T says:

    We had better win this. Citeh are awful. Absolutely awful.

  38. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:38 Nathaniel says:

    I can’t figure out why Citeh are so awful. The talent is there. It’s almost like they’ve never trained together.

  39. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:39 Georger says:

    I know this is dangerous close to “all black people look alike” territory, but I can’t look at Adebayor without thinking of Augustus Hill.

  40. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:39 Nathaniel says:

    Ade would probably be better off in a wheelchair at this point.

    /misses ‘Oz’

  41. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:40 Ryan says:

    I’d take this as a final result. It’ll give the media a chance to bloviate about 6 draws in 6, but all in all I think you have to accept a point at Anfield.

  42. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:40 The NY Kid says:

    Georger, you racist bastard!

  43. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:43 ebullientfatalist says:

    Matt Damon with a South African accent? Swoon . . .

  44. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:44 ebullientfatalist says:

    Hey, I’m running down to the cafe, anyone need anything?

  45. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:46 Georger says:

    Liverpool are leaving themselves open to counter by attacking? What the fuck are they supposed to do, park the bus at home? God ESPN is fucking horrid.

  46. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:47 Nathaniel says:

    Put it in the onion bag, Georger.

  47. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:50 Georger says:

    The hell is the Soccer Power Index? If it isn’t sponsored by Castrol, it’s not a viable ranking system.

  48. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:53 jjf3 says:

    the fun of having dogs: about the time Toure got clocked, one of my dogs decided to puke on the carpet. I’ll take all of y’all’s word for it that the 1st half sucked…good thing I woke up at 6 fucking 30 am today…

  49. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:54 The NY Kid says:

    @EF – I need a vanilla-caramel latte and a pain au chocolat.

  50. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:55 Georger says:

    How the hell is Toure this team’s captain?

  51. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:55 Nathaniel says:

    The guy who replaced Toure…it’s like he chose a bunch of letters at random for his surname.

    /not as racist as Georger

  52. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:56 Georger says:

    I was going to say they just subbed on an outstanding Scrabble pull.

  53. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:56 Ryan says:

    Who else can you give it to? Half the squad is pants, and the other is a risk to get sent off nearly every game.

  54. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:56 Georger says:

    Given, obviously.

  55. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:57 Nathaniel says:

    If Gareth Barry showed 25% of the heart and skill that he did at Villa, he would be my choice.

  56. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:59 Georger says:

    MARTIN MOTHER FUCKING SKRTEL

  57. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:59 Nathaniel says:

    What is a “rugged South American defender?”

    Score. Own goal?

  58. On November 21, 2009 @ 08:59 Ryan says:

    Adebayor scoring goals for fun.

  59. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:00 The NY Kid says:

    seriously, Skrtel is a scary-looking dude.

    And nice marking, Ade.

  60. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:03 Ryan says:

    Seriously Hughes, it’s time to take SWP off.

  61. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:04 The NY Kid says:

    @Ryan – agreed, he’s embarrassing the family name

  62. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:07 Ryan says:

    Announcer informs the Santa Cruz is on the bench as an option.
    I thought we wanted to score goals though?

  63. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:07 Nathaniel says:

    More injuries!

  64. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:10 Georger says:

    Barry off, announcers baffled as his career has been “ignited” by playing for City.

  65. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:13 Georger says:

    ….. looked like a handball to me

  66. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:14 ebullientfatalist says:

    Stephen Ireland has a good first touch, but no chin.

  67. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:15 Ryan says:

    What if you filled Craig Bellamy’s altitude chamber with horse placentas?

    The healing power would be immense.

  68. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:15 Nathaniel says:

    SWP = The fastest dwarf ever?

  69. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:16 hockalees says:

    Apparently, “altitude chamber” is Welsh for cocaine stash.

  70. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:17 ebullientfatalist says:

    @NYK: Here is your latte and pain au chocolat – enjoy!

  71. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:17 Georger says:

    Announcers full of jokes today, I guess you could say I’m Iraqi.

  72. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:18 Georger says:

    Pain au Chocolat – staring Lexington Steele and Shane Diesel.

  73. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:18 Georger says:

    Well that was fucking inevitable.

  74. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:19 ebullientfatalist says:

    Well, that’s what happens when you don’t mark in the box.

  75. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:19 Georger says:

    Adebayor to blame for Skrtel’s goal, Skrtel to blame for Adebayor’s.

    Ugh, there is no God.

  76. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:21 ebullientfatalist says:

    There’s an accent grave in Steele’s name when he’s in French porn, Georger.

  77. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:24 ebullientfatalist says:

    More Saturday morning racism: N’Gog and Babel have similar facial features.

  78. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:26 Georger says:

    FUCKING AWFUL

  79. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:26 The NY Kid says:

    brilliant turn from SWP

  84. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:27 Keith says:

    Downing on the subs bench for Villa. Fucking outstanding.

  85. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:27 ebullientfatalist says:

    The Chinless Wonder – what did I say about his first touch? AND THE EQUALIZER11111!!!!!!!

  86. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:28 ebullientfatalist says:

    What the hell has happened here in the past 20 minutes?

  87. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:28 Nathaniel says:

    Why would Hughes not start Tevez in every game?

  88. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:29 Ryan says:

    Jozy Altidore nabs a 2nd start in a row for Hull.

  89. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:30 Georger says:

    LUCAS LEARN TO FUCKING CLEAR THE BALL

  90. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:31 Nathaniel says:

    You not a proponent of the 2-yard clearing attempt, Georger?

  91. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:31 Nathaniel says:

    Announcer Ian is quite enamored with the horse placenta thing.

  92. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:31 Ryan says:

    @Nathaniel Up to this point, he and Ireland haven’t worked too well together. Punditry says they make a lot of runs to the same areas, not sure if I buy that.

  93. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:32 ebullientfatalist says:

    This Greek dude is made of porcelain.

  94. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:32 Georger says:

    EF he keeps getting kicked in the stomach by his own players.

    Bellamy is the Favre of soccer.

  95. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:33 Nathaniel says:

    From his ManUre days, I’d say that Tevez is 40x the worker that Ireland will ever be. Regardless of the runs to the same areas.

  96. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:35 Ryan says:

    Oh, I wholeheartedly agree, just saying what the general feeling is.

  97. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:35 Georger says:

    Pixie on the bench.

  98. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:35 Ryan says:

    Ian makes another placenta joke.

  99. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:35 The NY Kid says:

    that’s it, I’m getting a placenta treatment. not sure for what, but I’m getting one

  100. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:36 Nathaniel says:

    Placenta jokes 7 – Insightful commentary 0

  101. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:37 Nathaniel says:

    How many times can Tevez feed SWP, only to have him give up possession?

  102. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:37 ebullientfatalist says:

    He’s like a kid out there!!!

  103. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:38 Nathaniel says:

    Horse placenta should be rubbed onto Lescott’s forehead.

  104. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:38 ebullientfatalist says:

    Nasri out on the right? For really, though?

  105. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:38 Georger says:

    What the hell was Bridge doing there?

  106. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:39 Ryan says:

    Given tells Bridge he has time on the ball, so of course Wayne promptly puts it out for corner.

  107. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:39 ebullientfatalist says:

    @Nathaniel: Fuck you for putting that image in my head.

  108. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:40 Nathaniel says:

    New boots for Kuyt, please.

  109. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:42 ebullientfatalist says:

    Ahh, the famous Kuyt Turn. So slow.

  110. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:42 Ryan says:

    I think that one goes in the “Seen it given” category.

  111. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:43 ebullientfatalist says:

    Oh come on Pool!!! Make this corner count for something

  112. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:44 Georger says:

    FUCKING LUCAS. CHOKE!

  113. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:44 ebullientfatalist says:

    HA-ha, Lucas.

  114. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:44 The NY Kid says:

    Lucas: not good at football

  115. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:45 Georger says:

    I’ll take it considering how poor we were playing.

    But christ, what a horrible coaching decision by Benitez to go into a shell after the goal.

  116. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:45 Ryan says:

    I’ll take it. Nothing like Hull City next weekend to break a string of draws hopefully.

  117. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:45 ebullientfatalist says:

    Georger, not that you need to hear this, but at least Spurs and Villa are your primary challengers for that final CL spot.

  118. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:56 The Fan's Attic says:

    ah…the little leprechaun is all worked up…funny, really.

  119. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:57 The Fan's Attic says:

    so, uh…a 20M pound midfielder on the bench who is finally fit but can’t get off the bench…great signing.

  120. On November 21, 2009 @ 09:58 Georger says:

    Benayoun had to come off, really couldn’t replace him with Aquilani I don’t think.

    Either way, this fiasco with him sure as hell isn’t helping Rafa’s chances of seeing any money at all in any upcoming transfer windows.

  121. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:04 ebullientfatalist says:

    I don’t like playing at the SoL

  122. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:06 Georger says:

    Why are they wearing white shorts?

  123. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:06 ebullientfatalist says:

    Nice set up, and Rosicky has a great shot.

  124. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:07 The NY Kid says:

    what a save from Fulop

  125. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:07 ebullientfatalist says:

    I. Don’t. Know. Laundry maid (Silvestre) couldn’t get her act together?

  126. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:07 Georger says:

    Chelsea up already, Hull losing already, and I’m about to go on a bender, all is right with the world.

  127. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:09 ebullientfatalist says:

    Why the Bender Georger?

  128. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:09 Georger says:

    We have Western Carolina at home at three thirty, and as I’m already awake, why not?

  129. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:10 ü75 says:

    While Rosicky was out did he forget the goal size was 8′ x 24′ instead of something more like 20′ x 60′?

  130. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:11 ebullientfatalist says:

    Yeah, I’m headed to the FSU-Maryland game at noon. It’s been a wonderful morning.

  131. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:12 ebullientfatalist says:

    @umlaut: I’ve been very impressed with Rosicky since his return – he may not have as much flair as before, but he controls the ball better, and looks for the more incisive pass.

  132. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:13 Ryan says:

    Hull already down 2-0.

  133. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:13 jjf3 says:

    and Hull go down 0-2. PBPhilBrown may go into meltdown today…

  134. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:14 ebullientfatalist says:

    I understand why Wenger is starting both Ramsay and Traore, but going away at Sunderland? That’s a big ask – Black Cats are tough.

    Sunderland look lethal on the counter, save for Steve.

    Bruce looks like a Soprano’s character in that sweat-suit.

  138. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:23 ebullientfatalist says:

    Sorry, Umlaut. I’ll check myself in the future.

  139. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:27 ü75 says:

    Is it just me, or does there not seem to be a lot of movement for Arsenal on the attack? They are filling up the box (TWSS) and just standing around.

  140. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:29 Anonymous says:

    @Umlaut: Do you remember the game against Bolton at the Reebok last year? Gunners played as fluid a passing game, as dominant a possession game, I’ve seen for about 20 minutes in the first half. I haven’t seen the same balance of passing and domination since.

  141. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:29 ebullientfatalist says:

    That was me.

  142. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:31 ebullientfatalist says:

    I just urban dictionary’d “twss.” I should know better.

    But yeah, not movement in the final third. We’re whipping many crosses, but no one is at the backpost.

  143. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:33 ebullientfatalist says:

    Ahh, fuck. What a nice little run by Song. Eddie just misses the pass to Song.

    No, Nasri, no no no . . . don’t be injured.

    WTF is going on in Hull?

  147. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:47 Ryan says:

    Phil Brown lives! What a fightback.

  148. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:49 ebullientfatalist says:

    Not to downplay their comeback, but it is WHU.

  149. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:53 The Fan's Attic says:

    it is Hull City as well. it’s relative.

  150. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:57 Anonsters says:

    Hammers are going to have to get serious and lace up their Katy Perry lingerie at the half.

  151. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:59 ebullientfatalist says:

    Darren Ferguson unveiled as new Norwich manager . . .!!!!

  152. On November 21, 2009 @ 10:59 ebullientfatalist says:

    . . . on my Football Manager

    … clever girl

  154. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:10 Georger says:

    Kakuta going to come on for Chelsea soon. Hopefully he’s better than on my FM, where I paid through the nose for him and he proceeded to do fuck all. Enjoy rotting on the Motherwell bench when I loan you out each year, dickhead.

  155. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:13 ebullientfatalist says:

    Kakuta never pans out. Stephen Defour? Phenomenal pick-up for me.

    Arsenal need to muscle this win, if they do win. It’s similar to the Fulham game a few months back.

  156. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:15 Anonsters says:

    Wolfsburg v. Nürnberg = hell of a game, fwiw.

  157. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:18 The NY Kid says:

    that’s a serious crease in the pixie’s shorts

  158. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:18 Anonsters says:

    And a Wolfsburg player just got studs in the face.

    And the commentator says, “Oh dear dear dear dear dear dear dear dear dear…. This isn’t modern-day warfare, is it? It’s all about fair-play, isn’t it?” Guy cracks me up.

  159. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:19 ebullientfatalist says:

    @Anonsters: the guys on GolTV kill me. They do a phenomenal job, IMO.

  160. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:20 ü75 says:

    What the hell was the point of that wall? Reid bends it around the wall and it still barely bends around the near post. The was was barely a factor.

  161. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:20 Georger says:

    AND NURNBERG WIN IN THE LAST MINUTE OF STOPPAGE! MAXIMILLIAN SCHELL WOULD BE PROUD!

  162. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:21 ü75 says:

    I miss being able to watch Bundesliga on my TV, but I’m not paying for the Spanish language package just for that channel.

  163. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:21 Anonsters says:

    Yeah, Ray Hudson is Der Mann.

    And holy shit, this is a fantastic game.

  164. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:22 Georger says:

    Turns out Maximilian Schell isn’t dead, so oops.

    I get Deportes as part of my sports package, even though there is a separate Spanish package.

  165. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:22 The NY Kid says:

    if GolTV is on the Spanish Tier on your cable/satellite provider, you’re getting robbed. It’s on the Sports Tier on mine

  166. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:23 ebullientfatalist says:

    Yeah, mine too.

  167. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:24 ü75 says:

    I know. I figure if GolTV cared enough, they would pressure Charter into a change. They don’t care, I don’t care. I’ll pirate the games I really want to see.

  168. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:24 ebullientfatalist says:

    Nuremberg used to be sponsored by “MisterLady Jeans.” I wish this weren’t true.

  169. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:25 Georger says:

    Umlaut, this game was on ESPN Deportes, which is on Charter’s sports package.

  170. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:25 Anonsters says:

    I just watch the Bundesliga stuff they have on ESPN360.

    Mainly b/c I don’t have a TV.

    Bwomp bwomp.

  171. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:25 The NY Kid says:

    @EF – you know because you used to wear them, didn’t you?

  172. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:26 ebullientfatalist says:

    Steve is coming off, to be replaced by Frazier. Positive move, Bruce. He feels this game should be won.

  173. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:26 ebullientfatalist says:

    Used to wear them? Abso-fucking-lutely. And I looked amazing.

    Not down here it isn’t.

  176. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:28 The NY Kid says:

    @u75 – me either; ESPN Deportes is only on the Spanish Tier on Comcast. I tried protesting, but they didn’t care

  177. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:28 ebullientfatalist says:

    We haven’t been able to complete the last pass, the through ball, all day. I’m terribly vexed.

  178. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:29 Georger says:

    Interesting. Well I guess the tradeoff is my internet only works half the time and I can’t get the NHL Network.

  179. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:30 ebullientfatalist says:

    Florida only has two options for cable: Comcast or Brighthouse. It’s impossible to get all three “soccer” channels on both.

  180. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:30 The NY Kid says:

    well, thats no good.

  181. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:30 ebullientfatalist says:

    That was expected.

  182. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:31 ü75 says:

    Motherfucker. Not totally undeserved.

  183. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:31 ebullientfatalist says:

    Frazier did not mean to make that touch.

  184. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:32 The NY Kid says:

    @EF – and yet, he was more wide open than a Thai ladyboy on $5 night

  185. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:32 ebullientfatalist says:

    Exactly, umlaut, these are the goals we give up. Sunderland knows this, and have been looking for it all day.

  186. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:32 ü75 says:

    Well, that’s all four furries in. Let’s hope their combined super powers get a couple of goals.

  187. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:32 Georger says:

    West Ham level it at three. Have had some insane games today.

    Mensah is straight out of 1992.

  188. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:32 ebullientfatalist says:

    I like the moves by Arsenal. Put some speed on, look to spread the game.

  189. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:33 ü75 says:

    I just did a spit take on that shot. My poor computer.

  196. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:37 Georger says:

    Bolo Zenden? OH ALL YOU MOTHER FUCKS WILL PLAY NOW!

    God I hate Bolo Zenden.

  197. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:38 Georger says:

    “Hey, who’s that CL winner coming on?”

    Did he win one with Barca? Sure as hell didn’t with us.

  198. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:40 ebullientfatalist says:

    I don’t know if Sunderland has worked harder than us today, but our attacking in the final third has been spotty.

  199. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:41 ebullientfatalist says:

    “What is Bolo Zenden attempting there?”

    I’m not sure he knows, Mr. Announcer.

    Hahaa. Thank you NYK.

  202. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:45 The NY Kid says:

    WHY IS NO ONE ON THE BACK POST?!?!?!?

  203. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:46 ü75 says:

    Oops. I guess he transferred in right after Pool’s CL win. My bad.

  204. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:46 ü75 says:

    Come on, Shark Feet. Put that in.

  205. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:46 ebullientfatalist says:

    If it weren’t for Fab, Song would be our best player this first half of the season.

    Now if things stay like this, and Everton pulls something out of the hat, this will be a good day.

    DAMMMMMITTTTT! Two people can’t get on that one?

  209. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:47 Anonsters says:

    And fucking Burnley had to go blow it.

  210. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:47 The NY Kid says:

    these are agonizingly close chances

    Nani Theo, pass the fucking ball.

  213. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:49 Anonsters says:

    Doesn’t sound like a problem to me, ü.

    And it was Emile Heskey w/ the Villa goal, of all people. Heh.

  214. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:51 The NY Kid says:

    @Anonsters – I read that as “it was Emile Heskey of the Village People”

  215. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:52 Anonsters says:

    NYK: Starring Emile Heskey and Nic Anelka.

  216. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:52 Georger says:

    WHAT A TACKLE

  217. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:53 Georger says:

    Holy shit he just got racked in epic fashion.

  218. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:53 ebullientfatalist says:

    Was that a penno? Show a damn replay

  219. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:53 ü75 says:

    How the fuck is that not, Wiley?

  220. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:53 Georger says:

    No replay of the tackle on Vela. Solid work FSC, solid work.

  221. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:53 The NY Kid says:

    Alan Wiley is Irish, isn’t he? I see what’s going on here.

  222. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:54 Georger says:

    BLOW THE FUCKING WHISTLE

  223. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:55 ü75 says:

    Oh well. Get well soon, RvP.

  224. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:55 The NY Kid says:

    I’m gonna have to call shenanigans.

  225. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:55 Georger says:

    I’ll take Villa dropping points with us for sure.

    Still no replay.

  226. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:55 ebullientfatalist says:

    Well. If we had won that, it wouldn’t have been deserved. Sunderland were more than equal to the task. We must be better away from home.

  227. On November 21, 2009 @ 11:56 Anonsters says:

    Now we just need Man Ewe to drop points, and we’re looking good for the Wigan game tomorrow.

    COME ON YOU SPURS.

    Wut?

  228. On November 21, 2009 @ 12:00 Anonsters says:

    Now the question is: do I watch the Mattress Makers, Inter, or the ole alma mater take on Tennessee Chattanooga. Hm.

  229. On November 21, 2009 @ 12:01 The NY Kid says:

    and STILL no replay on the 2nd half highlights!

    CONSPIRACY!

    Brodie Croyle sucks.

    @TFA: impressive. I was up at 7:30 to get an Americano at my neighborhood cafe. I wasn’t showered, though. Or dressed for that matter.

    Hey, so I’m down at the FSU game; if anyone watching the game sees a douche in aviators and an Arsenal jersey, um, that unfortunately is me.
