11/12 Premier League thread

He did, but like it or not. He's going to be remembered for the miss and not how well he played. It's just the way the media and footy fans roll (not all, but for the most part). He shouldn't have missed that though, with his talent, skill and the importance of the game - it's something that has to be put away.

Yeah I agree, its a terrible miss, but top players have missed similar chances.

I think Torres will finally hit his Liverpool form soon, Chelsea were totally dominant in this game, if we had played Barca/Real we would be thrashed.
 
"So there I was, Row F, behind the goal at Old Trafford watching Torres go round De Gea wondering if he would score.

And then it hit me."
 
What does that have to do with any thing?

You're as bad as that Barcelona fan on here. Yet you don't see the simliarities between you supporting Liverpool and him Barca.

why werent you down at the Den supporting Millwall against West Ham on saturday? are you seriously telling me you didnt bother going to that match. and you live in London? whats your excuse? thats my point.
 
I don't see how you can compare Bobby's support for Liverpool as being similar to that Barca fanboy. Bobby has stated numerous times his reasoning for being a Liverpool fan (which stems from his childhood I believe), I think he's been to numerous matches as well. He supports them through thick and thin. Also, he's a genuine football fan.

The Barca boy comes in only when Barcelona wins the La Liga, the CL, or make a big signing. He's been asked about his background as to why he supports Barcelona, and he's never answered. Nor does he come in and give his opinion or add to discussions about news going on in the footy world. Shit, he doesn't even talk about La Liga.

Unfair comparison imo.

The Sikh is probably the best one.

My excuse is... I don't want to. I don't enjoy watching football live. So I don't do it.

Because Bobby bites. I believe it is called Trolling on the internet.

The Scouse midfielder cops plenty of flak but we reckon the QPR skipper is head, shoulders and haircut above your average moronic footballer...

He has a good haircut
Any man who takes to the field channelling Cash, Strummer and Morrissey is alright by us. Makes a change from tramlines, dye jobs and hasty razor action.
He’s bright
His track record of violence might suggest the contrary, but if you saw him on Goals on Sunday last week you’ll know this to be true. His quoting of Nietzsche etc made him look a bit silly and drew flak across Twitter but at least he did it, better than using stupid hashtags like #ooooof or banging on about his latest cup of tea or how he beat a youth team player on Fifa 12
He can play
Something of a prerequisite for a Premier League player but Barton could easily play for any of the top six clubs and do himself justice. He’d get in at Manchester United, is a better player than Henderson and Adam at Liverpool, Arsenal would kill for a player like him and even City could benefit from his curious brand of tenacity, dead-ball excellence and technical superiority.

He doesn’t listen to R&B
Perhaps the most important on the list. If we have to listen to Jody Morris, Ferdinand or whoever quoting Boys ll Men or Lil’ Wayne one more time we might pull our eyeballs out.

While plenty of players have probably read books, at least his aren’t the chewable and washable version of Spot the Dog.
He cut up Jay Bothroyd’s Ugg boots
They were purple and furry. Nuff said.
He’s taken Taarabt under his wing
Awarded the captaincy at QPR upon signing, Barton realised that Adel might sulk and has apparently taken him under his wing in training, shown him the benefits of hard work and told him, brilliantly, that if he wants to sulk, he’s far better doing it while jogging back into position that strolling wide with his head down.
He uses the tube

Apparently on Friday afternoon he was seen alighting at Tower Hill. Can you imagine that wallop John Terry daring to descend underneath London and hop on the district and circle?
He slated the underperformers
“I’ve had a sh*t World Cup, read my book’ is perhaps the best statement ever by a footballer. As Gerrard and Fat frank cashed in, Barton spoke to the Times and laid into them for profiting failure. Good on him.
He’s been frank about being a c**t
Look, some of you reading this will be frothing at the mouth and saying ‘but what about that beating he gave that lad’ but at least he has had the decency to speak about it, condemn himself and attempt to put it right. Plenty of players have committed heinous acts in public, pretended it didn’t happen and continue to receive adulation.
He’s read a book
Perhaps an extension on brightness but while plenty of players have probably read books, at least his aren’t the chewable and washable version of Spot the Dog.

He was a guest on Goals On Sunday on Sky Sports last week and he really is a breath of fresh air. an intelligent guy as well. stone mad though
 
he had a very good game, was man of the match and conceded an own goal. it was inevitable the way we were playing. QPR should have won the game. even if villa had won today, i would still be very very disappointed at the approach we took. we did not dictate play, we did not control the game until the second half.

our first signs of going forward and attacking were in stoppage time of the first half (around 46 mins), a bit too late - and we were lucky to go in 0-0 at half-time. given made a few excellent saves. insomnia needs to wake up.
 
Dunne didn't deserve man of the match. Gary Neville chats shit and is probably the worst pundit since Big Ron.
Whhhhaaaaaat Gary Neville is probably one of the most knowledgeable people in the game! His analysis is way better than most of the (recently) retired footballers

That's what they keep saying. He is a boring twat. He also pretty much spouts the obvious. Except when he says a shit fatty like Dunne is man of the match, then he is plain wrong.

I miss Andy Gray and Richard Keys. Now we have Gary Neville and some boring blonde fella presenting a show with a format stolen from the NFL. Awful. I think we should have a whip round and get the pair of them some Charisma.
