AxB Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Fucking Stoke, just can't seem to resist the temptation to be thuggish pricks when playing the Gunners. First we have Adam's mysterious sleeper against Sanchez in the debacle at their shithole earlier in the season, today we have Arnautovic needlessly shoving Debuchy from behind at the endline. After the ball had gone out of play, sending him crashing into the turf and dislocating his shoulder. Number one, it's a contact sport, stop being a pussy. Number two, Arsenal always try to give it back. They're just not tough enough to manage it. Number three, where were you when Ivanovic was kicking the shit out of Sanchez in October? Number four, did Arnautovic get a card for the 50/50 on the touchline? Was there any suggestion of him getting a card? No? So it was a clean challenge. Stop whingeing.

Cristobal Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Five minutes of stoppage time, I guess because that guy took off his shirt and the wrong team is winning. There was the stoppage for the Alderweireld injury too. Also for the Tadic "injury" where he acted like he'd collapsed a lung running into the back of Phil Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debuchy was shielding the ball and had his back to the Stoke thug, there was zero chance of Arnautovic getting the ball. http://gfycat.com/DismalArcticImperatorangel In hockey, that would have been a game misconduct boarding penalty. During the NBC Sports stream, Lee Dixon stated that if it was a defender pushing an attacker, it would have been a penalty and at least a yellow card if not red. I probably would have commented on Alexis getting kicked at Chelsea if he'd been injured. Also, using the phrase "stop being a pussy" in your opening statement when discussing an injury is always a great indicator that you have a logical and well-reasoned point. Remember, not everyone can be as alpha as you, brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ronaldo takes home his second Ballon D´or in a row (third in total), beating Messi and Neuer in the vote. Well deserved. On this year´s achievements and quality of play it should have been between him and Neuer in my opinion, but I´m only mildly surprised by it being CR7 and Messi atop of the vote.They are both more marketable, more established and more revered around the world than Neuer, therefore it was to be expected Bayern´s goalkeeper would take same place as Ribery the year before. Glad to see Mesut Özil returning from injury yesterday. Here´s hoping he will get back into the form he used to be in for the majority of his time at Real.

Lazlo Woodbine Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 http://gfycat.com/DismalArcticImperatorangel That's next to nothing, if you're going to give a foul then it's certainly not a card. Injury was unfortunate. It could just be that I've not much sympathy for Arsenal though - a team full of lightweights, low grade ankle kickers and divers.

AxB Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Lee Dixon. Ex-Arsenal player. Obviously he's not going to be partisan at all. Wenger himself said he didn't have a problem with the Arnautovic challenge. Also, using the phrase "stop being a pussy" in your opening statement when discussing an injury is always a great indicator that you have a logical and well-reasoned point. Remember, not everyone can be as alpha as you, brah. I dislocate my shoulder all the time! I dislocated it this morning! I'm still here! Not actually true. I have got a torn rotator cuff that I'm training through, but that's not that big a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 GK's settle it at the end. Great penalty by the Hammers GK. Ref and linesmen were cowards throughout on some major decisions, but otherwise didn't mar a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If you have to go out, that's some way to do it. I guess the positive spin is that it's fewer games to play with a thinning squad that needs to save itself for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We're trying to get Gary Mackay-Steven on the cheap this window from Dundee United since he's out of contract in the summer. I've long been an admirer of this tricky winger and hope we can get it done. I'd also really like Stuart Armstrong, but getting both would be a bit of a Stretch.

GMS is one of these players who really frustrates with his inconsistency, but he's still fairly young so he's worth a punt, on his day he's excellent. The rumour mill was saying Celtic were after Armstrong and Ciftci last week, I think Ciftci looks exactly the type of striker they need at the moment.

Adam Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Liverpool have recalled Ibe from Derby, i'm not very happy about this. I hope he gets a few first team matches for Liverpool coming up, because he was really developing well at Derby. I just hope with George Thorne returning soon, this hasn't got too much of an after-effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 From newspaper The Scotsman: by ANDREW SMITH AT IBROXTHE farcical was to be found anywhere you cared to look at Ibrox last night. Not just in the efforts to play a game on a snowbound pitch, but in the front door protests, and even in the stands.Only in the seating arrangements in the directors’ box was the ridiculousness purely of a light-hearted nature, though. This was attributable to the picture uploaded on Twitter of the Celtic manager Ronny Deila seated, and with silly expression, in front of the standing, minder-like, Easdale brothers.There just seemed something daft and incongruous about the snap, even if Deila’s presence, along with his assistant John Collins, was owed to his laudable decision to come and watch his club’s League Cup semi-final opponents in the only opportunity available to him. Maybe behind him Rangers directors James and Sandy Easdale had been photoshopped. For really, their ears should have been burning considering the supporter abuse being meted out to them.Mind you, that was tame in comparison to the expletive-strewn invective directed towards Mike Ashley in the pitchfork-like gathering outside the main door of the stadium in the 45 minutes leading up to kick-off.The tea-time moves by Dave King to remove the current Rangers board members David Somers, James Easdale, Derek Llambias and Barry Leach by way of an EGM had done nothing to quell supporter rage over the willingness to give Ashley security over Ibrox and Murray Park in return for a £10 million loan available to them from larger shareholder groupings without these conditions.Despite the Antarctic conditions, an impressive turnout of around 400 descended on the barracked-off front door entrance in response to the call from the Union of Fans to vent their feelings over Ashley’s latest brazen, line-crossing manoeuvres. As well as feelings, spleens were positively vented by the crowd, some waving anti-board placards, others with a banner demanding that these men give them their club back. There was an insurrectionist, nasty feel to their sweary chants. Yet, there was also one moment that could not help but produce a chuckle.After chants of ‘sack the board’, ‘we want our Rangers back, get out of our club...you thieving b******s, get out of our club’, sights were set on the Sports Direct (‘’yir havin’ a laugh’) owner.With venom and volume, the fulminating throng struck up cries of ‘fat Geordie b*****d’ before a realisation struck among some of those doing the growling that Ashley is from Buckinghamshire, just north of the River Thames. Rapidly then Geordie was dropped for Cockney, before they moved on to simply calling him a ‘w****r’, and from their segueing into exhortations for the Easdales to ‘get tae f***’.The whole scene turned ugly in more than just the language filling the air when some of the protesters seemed to recognise someone and stormed towards the oak-panelled doors. Punters clattered the metal barriers into the line of police. They, in turn, attempted to push back both the barriers and those heaving them towards the entrance.This breach in the uneasy peace resulted in uniformed officers on horseback appearing on the scene and setting about dispersing the, by now, highly charged protesters. As these mounted police trotted towards the front door, the Rangers supporters’ battle cries became of the more old-school variety with Derry’s Walls and The Billy Boys given lusty renditions – as was the case when the game was later abandoned after 24 minutes. The ‘Fenian blood’ line in The Billy Boys once left Rangers with no hiding place in Uefa circles over the anti-Catholic expressions a section of the club’s support entwined in their supporting of the club.The issue was presented as one of the most pressing the club faced during the last decade; a period during which they had a team capable of reaching a European final. How times – if not the enlightenment of some of the Ibrox faithful – have changed. By the end of the evening, the violence being reported was not related to the intemperate nature of any words being vocalised but related to alleged incidents that ensued as Hearts’ travelling support boarded their buses. The rancour at Rangers is struggling to find any acceptable outlets. Really looking forward to giving zombie Rangers a hiding, but have a feeling there's going to be some trouble considering the above. Love this picture. Deila probably seeing the phenomena known as Hun Rage for the first time close up, while Collins next to him is probably asking when his dry-cleaning will be done.

Death From Above Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Between Sportsnet and TSN I only get 9 feeds, so it's perfectly reasonable the only game at 7:30 am I am getting access to is between the two worst teams in the Premier League, QPR vs. Manchester United. Gotta make room for Sportscenter reruns and that curling all star game man. Boy, that video clip gives new meaning to Zombie Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
