TalkBass OFFICIAL English Football thread 2012-13: second half

[Darkstrike]

Liverpool prove themselves to be a bigger disgrace than ever. Diving and a handball goal(which Suarez then gloats about) against a non-league team.... Ridiculous.

BTW, Sturridges contract was worth more than the entire other team and their pitch.

[Tituscrow]

That was practically a basketball-bounce over the line. Cheat. Dirty, horrible, cheat.

[cheezewiz]

Liverpool and Suarez being scumbags. It's what they do best.

Looks like we may be getting Dean Saunders soon. Best of luck to him working in that climate.

I heard on the radio today that Moxey is hoping to get some sort of 'Anfield boot-room' philosophy instilled at Molineux.

I'll never forget Saunders was all set to join us for 2.6 million, but opted for the dark half with a last-minute bid of 2.7 million.

[Tituscrow]

Class all the way.

I doubt Suarez would feel even a shred of remorse if he read this.

Or how about the Liverpool fans chanting "your support is ******* ****", heh, that's thanks for such a lovely gesture.

I rated Saunders as a player at Villa. But I think he'll find it a tough job at Molineux. I think anyone would while Morgan and Moxey are running the club.

I didn't see the game to earlier today, and that was bad. I thought maybe Suarez was a bit like Ronaldo early on in his career, but this guy rarely goes through a match without some controversy. So much potential, and so little integrity.

Ronaldo sulks when things go against him, and used to fall over very easily, Suarez is worlds beyond that. Worlds.

Yeah, he's a shocker.

I can't help but think back to September when Miroslav Klose urged the ref to disallow a goal he scored which involved a significant and blatant hand ball.

Sorry lads been out of circulation for a couple of days..bloomin' Android version of the app is throwing hissy fits every 5 mins -at least on my phone it is, so missed some good stories - anyone else use it on Android and having any problems?

Anyway just to chip in...Saurez, what more can be said -pure bilge.
Bill, hope Saunders (or Mr Springsteen as we have always called him) can do something for your lads - at least hope they let him alone for a while and give him some support to do something.

In the spirit of Mr Klose admitting a grievous wrong...I have to admit that I have also sinned...sh*tload of Thomann vouchers and I bought......a Strat....sorry lads, will go to confession this weekend......

Fully functioning Android user here! And you can be forgiven on the guitar thing - until Friday I actually have more guitars than basses.

Interesting article on the BBC about Sneijder and his dispute with Inter. They decided they need to cut his wages to fit in with upcoming financial regulations, he decides that he'd rather just be paid what he signed up to, so they refuse to play him. Talk of him joining a Premiership team - I predict Chelsea or city.

[Tituscrow]

Isn't he on, like 200 grand a week?

I remember Pierre van Hooijdonk going 'on strike' at Forest about 20 years ago.

I still remember the quote:

"Nine grand a week may be enough for a homeless person, but its not enough for me, an international football player".

I think he was about fourth choice in the Dutch team pecking order.

I remember that. What a superstar he was.

In the strange world of football you could argue Sneijder's in the right by holding Inter to what they contracted to pay him. In the real world he'd be made redundant.

[Darkstrike]

Aye, in fairness to Sneijder, how dare he expect to be paid the wage he was offered and contracted to.

[Tituscrow]

129 ex-professional footballers currently in prison, four of which are for murder.

Heard this little tidbit on the radio tonight ...currently looking for sources.

[Tituscrow]

Sorry, 128.

Can't find any links to any other names just yet.

[SoVeryTired]

And are they all ex-Liverpool?
