Hey Look Everyone… I Got Drunk and Blew £50M
Well, that didn’t take long. The transfer window closes, and after one midweek match, Fernando is reunited with his old club.
It feels so good.
Actually, outside of the fact that it makes decent theater, some of us aren’t that worked up about things like Nando facing his old club out of the blocks. Football is a business and players are assets, so they get moved around. Get attached emotionally at your own peril, and never do anything silly like name your pet after a player. He’ll leave one day, and you’ll have to walk your reminder of how silly it all is every morning.
Where were we?
Oh yeah. Chelsea and Liverpool. Outside of one late Serie A match (and on a paper a pretty good one), it’s really the only thing worth watching today.
Oh and fuck Phil Dowd.
ZOMG TACTICS!!! 5-3-2 versus 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond. 3 world class strikers in Blue. Absolutely no strikers in Red. GAME FUCKING ON!
Come on you Scousers!!
Watching a replay of the Everton game. Did I mention that Saha is an absolute beast right now
Come on 2-2 draw with lots of injuries!
@PR, I want a 3-nil Liverpool win with Torres falling over injured with no one around him
I’ll say it again, big kudos to FSC, I very much enjoyed their pre-game show this morning.
Keeping one eye on Lille this morning. The Sunday Sun has us linked with Gervinho for the summer window.
Mikel is fucking it up lol
He’s wearing a different color Maxipad!
Biggest football game of the day. C’mon you boys in Blue!
Sow with an incredible bike for Lille. 1-0.
Come on, Liverpool.
Newcastle just scored again.
Random fact, when we finished 4th in the 04/05 campaign, we had a -1 goal differential. How the fuck does that happen
@Brian: I’ve noticed that stat before. You must have every game you lost must have been three-nil.
This game is kind of lame so far.
Skrtel just pulled his skrtel
Ashley Cole gets booked for that, if he isn’t Ashley Cole
This is for leaving us!
WTF Maxi
Woah. I just read that reply to Brian. Sunday morning syntax fail.
Ohhhhhhh, Maxi.
Wow! Heart now beating again.
fucking christ on a bike
Yes, my son?
And PR wins the thread
@ebull, as far as I can see we only lost one game by 3 goals, but almost all of our victories were by 1 goal so I could see how we could end up with that goal differential
Instead of looking like a match in which both team just spent upwards of 50 mil on new players, this looks like a match between two teams that spent 50 mil on their entire payroll.
I think John Terry has mange.
Very little in this.
@Phil: So an Arsenal-Wigan match then?
YAWN!
Brian: ’04/05 happened because we won every game we won 1-0, and got absolutely thrashed a couple of times. I remember a 6-1 and a 5-0 in there.
Anyways, heathenistic though it is, I’m enjoying watching Liverpool today. Good TACTICS! to counter what Chelsea wants to do.
What I’m taking from the Cech-Ivanovic screaming match is that Chelsea are such a bunch of unlikeable twats, they don’t even like one another.
@EF: Touche
Man, I miss the bar set already, FSC. These guys look weird on the NFL set…
I’m going to put the O/U for Barca goals over the two legs at 8.5.
Whoa. That was one ugly Liverpool fan.
Is that just for Messi, or for everyone?
That’s everyone except Messi. There is a separate bet for him. With Squil and Kos as our CDs and no Nasri we are going to get shredded.
Adios, Fernando!
Is it bad I’m going to watch the Pens game over this ugly match
Bwa ha ha ha…
Meireles is a badass.
ENJOY THAT ONE, TORRES
YOU FUCKING PRICK
Fookin’ A!
I think 50m on Reina would’ve been better spent. Cech is still complete pants.
@Shane – Go easy on the guy, what with the brain damage and all. He and Chivu can get together and compare helmets and color.
I really hope Chelsea miss out on the CL next year, would serve them all right. Hopefully Spurs beat them to it, but I’d be OK with Liverpool making a miracle run for that last spot.
If Chelsea miss out on the CL, does that give Abramovich the pretext to bring back Mourinho? Is everyone’s bet still on Mourinho replacing SAF?
Oh, I’ve been one of his biggest defenders since the injury, but if you have intentions of winning multiple trophies you can’t have a keeper scared to collect floated crosses at eye-level.
You’re completely right Shane, he hasn’t been the same, which is a shame because at his peak he was very good
I missed the beginning, but why didn’t Suarez and Carroll start?
Carroll’s currently cleaning Ms. Nolan’s garden as part of his transfer, and Suarez is eating donuts in the tunnel.
Pete:
Carroll’s out until the end of Feb, and Suarez is obviously not quite match-fit yet. He moved to LFC after finishing a 7-game suspension in Holland. Been a while since he played 90 mins
There we have it, then.
Pete: Which is to say that Carroll is still hurt and Suarez needs to polish his seat more with his ass just a bit more (read: Dalglish just isn’t playing him yet).
Ancelotti’s gone.
Lucky, lucky there.
Yes! Big, big win
Good for the Pool.
FUCK YES
Good job, Liverpool.
Chelsea defense ftl…
Thank god for Meireles!
four wins in a row, and six points back from 4th. Gonna be a fun run-in…
four wins in a row, and six points back from 4th, plus we nicked a couple dozen stereos from the Bridge carpark
Weak, Shane. Like Rangers playing 11 v 10 this morning
Hey now!
/Tambor’d
You hit the hornets’ nest and you get stung!
My question is whether anyone thinks Di Matteo will actually do any gardening.
That’s fucked up that they sacked DiMatteo. Give people a chance, for Christ’s sake! They were kicking ass early on.
