Cristobal Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 According to Michael Cole, Preston's an hour away from London, so by that standard Birmingham's suburban London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 How on earth did they come up with five minutes of stoppage time for Newcastle/Liverpool? Oh shit, there's a fat dude with no shirt on in the stands. Good thing I have not eaten yet today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Shut up, Dave. Looked really poor in the final third again, much like against Swansea. Need to figure out how to break down teams unwilling to pass it out from the back and that defend deep. Benteke was supposed to be the answer but he hardly broke a sweat. Well played, Newcastle.

Dewar Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Benteke was an invisible man today, other than the miss from in tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Us women match called off due to bad pitch. Presumably not something that would happen to the men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I guess i was close. I used to have that site bookmarked that had a map of where all the teams were. I may have counted "suburban" london teams like Watford. Vicarage Road is getting a London Underground station next season. I say they count.

Jiji Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Best case scenario: Studge overcomes his injury proneness and is back to his 2013-14 form. Second best scenario: he has a good run of games and then we sell him for a profit. This fucking sucks. How is it possible for a person to be in that great of shape to have so many different injuries in such a short span of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I actually find it an interesting topic in gnereal. There's this traditional sports logic that injury prone = out of shape, but I'm not really sure there's any actual evidence to back up this common wisdom as being accurate at all. There seem to be some people that no matter how fit they are simply are very injury prone and that they're totally unrelated issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yeah a shame about Monk, he's done a ton of good there. But, one half bad season is all it takes in this silly business. I don't think he'll be gone long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zheroen Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I fail to see why there's so much sorrow over Monk going, unless it's just another one of those "but he's English, innit he?" things. One win in 11 matches, and they type of football Swansea were playing was unrecognizable slow hoofball shite in comparison to the creative and technical flair that Martinez, Rodgers, and Laudrup had built upon over the years. He froze out a talent like Michu and let him go on a free. He had lost the players, and they weren't even trying for him anymore. Considering that his chief job is to set them up tactically and to motivate them, and you can't sack the whole team...what other result could there be?

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 For fucks sake does the alternative squad of Dortmund suck. 19:1 shots "on" goal, lose 0:1 and I really didn't see anyone using his chance to impress. Januzaj was horrible once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the angst comes from firing someone at the club for 12 years as a player then manager. What will happen when Giggs or GNev become United manager and eventually get fired? The downside to naming a team's talismanic figure as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
