Yeah i forgot to post that this morning. Tevez is an Idiot, as much as i don't like Fergie, you don't put a RIP sign up when the guy is in his 70s!! Bit over the top for me. Quite easily could of just put, ARE YOU WATCHIING FERGIE? or FERGIE WISH U WERE HERE. Kind of thing but that is so stupid, and for a guy who played under him as well? Tevez is becoming more of an idiot as the days go on.

Few rumours floating around Twitter that Kenny is going to resign from Liverpool.
Sad news if he does, they might start to get better again

Source - Not a very good one though as of yet

don't know if he even knows English to know what he was holding

Well Ferguson said something along the lines of - "As long as I'm alive, City will never finish above United in the Premier League" - so yeah. RIP does mean Rest In Peace, so it's hardly disrespectful in itself.

Yeah but he said that like the begining of the season, i highly doubt Tevez remembered that.

Defenders
Baines (Everton) Cahill (Chelsea) A.Cole (Chelsea) Johnson (Liverpool) Jones (Man Utd) Lescott (Man City) Terry (Chelsea)

Midfielders

Strikers
Carroll (Liverpool) Defoe (Totenham) Rooney (Man Utd) Welbeck (Man Utd)

Stand By List
Jack Butland (Birmingham) Phil Jagielka (Everton) Jordan Henderson (Liverpool) Adam Johnson (Man City) Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea)

Will be Johnson RB and Jones as reserve in that list. And yeh better performers are Micah Richards of man city who is a beast i like him alot, and if Walker from totenham wasn't injured he would be the first choice one, he is basically ashley cole but right footed.

I'm just gonna copy my reaction post from another forum.

Great idea by Hodgson, bring in Downing to put in the crosses for Carroll to power home. Winning formula right there, I can't possibly foresee nor backup with any fact to prove otherwise.

Btw is Ben Foster injured or something?

Retired from international duty because he prefers his time off to be spent home with his kids instead of going round with England on the bench.

If Daglish is sacked is that an assist by Downing?

Lol posted on Chelsea forum, made me laugh!

People always say Chelsea is just bankrolled by Abramovic, but if you look closely, the amount Abramovic has put into the club is actually less than how much the club has gone up in value in his time here. Good investment. The guy is no mug with his money. No paying a player 250 k a week to not play for 6 months.

Torres -£50m
Shevchenko - £30m
Veron - £15m
Wright-Phillips - £20m
Zhirkov - £20m
Parker - £10m
Mutu - £10m

And thats just the dud's, not including the overpriced players. Your really trying to say that without Abramovic that the club as small as Chelsea were before would even be able to dream of spending that amount of money on failures, let alone the the players that were successful. He put £800m into the club, and thats an old number. Even the BBC which is usually quite impartial, uses the phrase "bankrolled", and this article seems to suggest that the club has only gone up in value becuase Abramovic has literally pumped huge sums of money into it.


Yet with all of that, the club is still worth more than he put in. He put money in, and if he was to leave tomorrow the club wouldn't instantly go under like city. If you read, i said it went up MORE than he put in. Not just what he put in. My point wasn't we'd be here even without him, but that chelsea are not 100% reliant on abramovic, and even where in the last few years he hasn't decided to pump as much money, the club has still been competitive.

Btw every club has bad buys, so I dont know why you are listing players who never made it. You could do that for every club.

YAY! The disrespectful man has gone! Good for Liverpool, might get another respectful manager in place like Rafa was, always a nice man.

Gezza captain is good imo, he deserves it if Terry cant get it. Plus in world cup Gezza was by far our best player lol. Him or Frank seem to be the only England players without "baggage" in that sort of sense to be politically correct as Captain.

That's why I don't always like the club legend manager. Took far too long to fire kenny because you can't just axe a club legend.

Well, all of his signings were shit and his team ended up in 8th spot in the table. We are talking about Liverpool. They should be top contender in the premier and ucl, but they fell into mediocrity.

I usually think managers should be given longer but with Dalglish I think he got long enough, was around new year 2011 he got the job and they finishing below Everton pffft! He was pretty crap with Celtic and Newcastle beforehand, it was a leap of faith appointment and I think they made him one of the top 10 highest paid managers in the world! Wonder what payoff he got.

hart is good

back 4 is alright from that lot

now, that midfield is terrible, not one creative midfielder there,
Gerrard's time has passed,
wallcott and young are good at running
lampard and parker can stand still and pass the ball sometimes but nothing else
milner and Barry are just industrious workers and lack creativity
downing? rofl
Oxlade-Chamberlain is good but lacks experience and is one for the future tbh

strikers, meh
Rooney is the only good player beyond the back 4 but is suspended for first 2 so
Carroll? belongs in a poor team who only play long balls, so he might suit england tbh
Defoe, can finish and has pace but inconsistent and if the teams doing badly he doesn't do a lot
welbeck? meh, overrated imo
