TalkBass OFFICIAL English Football thread 2012-13: second half

[Darkstrike]

I'd have preferred he didn't to be honest, as much as anything because the "experts" are using it as a stick to beat De Gea with, despite the fact he couldn't do anything about it, honestly, it was Rafael's screw up.

[Tituscrow]

I hear you, but you're talking as a United fan. As an Evertonian, its always nice to see new signings for Liverpool score but be let down by their new team mates

[Darkstrike]

Oh yeah, if we weren't going to have a clean sheet, that was the best way about it.

Bloody glad it wasn't Stevie Me's shot that went in too.

[Tituscrow]

And I hate to say this fellas, but I'm rooting for City this afternoon, purely to keep The Arse below us, you understand.

[Darkstrike]

A necessary evil, I believe is the term.

I'll be rooting Gunners, as I'm quite enjoying this 10 point gap.

[MartinG1957]

Koscelny = Twat, as I always say, he's an accident waiting to happen, especially with Dean as ref, rugby tackling in the box, dearie dearie me...
You might just get your wish today Titus, :-(

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Interesting stats from the Utd game:

Distance covered with ball:

RvP 249m Suarez 490m

I think Suarez can now be officially and statistically confirmed as a headless chicken.

[Darkstrike]

Headless chicken is probably the best thing you could call him....

It'd possibly be the nicest thing anyone's said about him. Shame Arsenal are continuing in this slump, I was hoping for a revival today. Never mind, we did our bit to keep the little team down. I tried to count how many points we're ahead but I ran out of fingers and toes.

[MarkMgibson]

Well, Koshelny really let the team down - what a ludicrous tackle. Still, I was heartened by the Gunners' second half performance, even though nothing came of it. Jack Wilshere had a blinder - it's just a shame Giroud couldn't take the simplest of chances, otherwise it might have been game on.

It's a shame - a player getting sent off that early always ruins what should have been a good contest.

[Tituscrow]

I think this is what they call 'pwned'

I guess France is too quiet for him...

[SoVeryTired]

May I suggest the Afghan Premiership?

This is one of the most enjoyable and civil threads on TB, and we'd like to keep it that way.

oh twitter... what a strange addition to everything

[SoVeryTired]

So Guardiola, as of this morning, really wanted to manage in English football - thus generating much excitement amongst Chelsea and city fans. This afternoon he signs for Bayern. Oh dear.

[Darkstrike]

Is there some reason that Bayern need a new manager, is the current guy leaving for some reason?

Can't be a form issue, 9 point gap at the top of the Bundes, in the QF's of the German Cup, and showing great form in the CL.....

Crazy.

[SoVeryTired]

He's retiring at the end of the season, then Pep's taking over. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at a different club.

[Darkstrike]

It's interesting, everyone has used the "walked into success" argument in regards to his work with Barca, wanting to see him at another team, but surely it's pretty much the same deal with Bayern?
