TalkBass OFFICIAL English Football thread 2012-13: second half

[Tituscrow]

Fellaini, Baines and Pienaar were immense tonight. Chuffed to bits. Now watch Cheltenham do us one nil on Monday night...

[Darkstrike]

Baines free kick was one of the best I've ever seen, the power in it was ridiculous.

Yep. I think that's what they call unstoppable. He'll be playing that one over in his head when he goes to sleep tonight

Although I stills maintain that having no wall when a kick is 30 yards out gives the keeper a better chance of seeing it.

[Darkstrike]

You might be right there, you gotta imagine the keeper only has from when the ball has passed the wall on to make a reaction.

'Arry's best result for Spurs since Feb 2012.

All jokes aside, I'm loving the shitstorm. This is glorious.

Also, that Baines freekick, good lord. While it's true that the wall obstructs the view, I think that could also be the reason to take a driven shot like that instead of a curler.

Another game, another two goals for Suarez - I could get used to this. Any thoughts on the signing of Sturridge? With all the matches against clubs ahead of them in the standings, another scoring option has got to help.

Suarez has definitely been playing some good football as of late. This (bad) Liverpool fan is excited to see some progress.

Great match - I was cheering your lads on.

The excitement amongst Liverpool fans is palpable. Wins against poor, lower-half-of-the-table sides and the imminent arrival - for 12 million quid, no less - of a Chelsea bench warmer...

Doesn't really fit their need, to be honest. Liverpool needs a striker that plays centrally. Sturridge himself said he want to play centrally, but he's better off as a wide forward.

Also, 12m is the embodiment of "English player" tax.

[Keano]

Breaking "News" - Balotellis is still Balotelli, and Mancini is still Mancini.

I can't wait for both of them to bugger off, honestly.

[Darkstrike]

I've been giggling about that a bit.

[Tituscrow]

I hear tonight that the Sunderland fans bus was stoned by those lovable reds on the way out of town last night. Gotta love 'em.

Maybe it was their way of celebrating seeing Joe Cole take his 130k a week back to West Ham.

[Darkstrike]

Celebratory stoning...

Sounds about right.

[MarkMgibson]

Another two points thrown away by the gunners. I don't get Wenger; their biggest problem is their midfield, and they've got Rosicky sitting on the bench. Carzola or Wiltshere, not both of them together. They both give the ball away far too often and poor old Arteta is left scrambling in defence (where he shouldn't be in the first place). Jesus, they can be frustrating to watch!!

Kevin Prince Boateng and AC Milan - total respect.

Platini and your associated wimps bow your heads in shame.

[Darkstrike]

Aye, well done by AC, more teams should do that when one of their players is abused.

+1

[Tituscrow]

Yep. No doubt those suits will find a way to fine Boateng and charge him for bringing the game into disrepute.

In fairness, he really should be saurez for some of the things he's done.
