2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

- Start date
Yeah well I don't think you're right about Corinthians but I'm not going on and on about it...their money relied on all sorts of tv deals etc occurring - it was like buying something with money u haven't got yet....
Are u on twitter? Do u follow Barton? Compared to most celebrities, who write jack that's interesting, he's good - very supportive of the Hillsborough inquiry - in fact on twitter he's basically helped raise a 100,000 signature governmental disclosure of private documents that helped blame Liverpool fans for a police cockup...now doubt he's a twit, but he's refreshing on twitter. And he does play - not like he doesn't perform on the pitch - not completely my cup of tea but he's a good player...don't u think it'd be a bit boring if they were all drones??
As for Tevez - I'll agree to disagree....

not on twitter. and he can support hillsborough all he wants, but first he should stop assaulting people both physically and verbally. like hes a nice guy because he thinks hillsborough was a bad scene? im sure he wouldve been pushing harder than anyone if he was there...
personally, i dont really care what any of them have to say on twitter (or anywhere really). im more interested in how they play, but barton comes out with such ridiculous sh!t, i feel he deserves to be singled out. do you actually agree with any of these 'refreshing' comments of his?
im a little bias because im a pacifist and hes pretty much the exact opposite. a drunk goon who likes to hurt people. hes lucky hes not sharing a cell with his brother...tho being on parole hes as close as he can get without actually being there.
yeah, i'll agree to disagree about tevez. either way, it was a difficult/weird situtaion, and i cant fault city in how theyve handled this latest incident. but now dzeko has been benched aswell for his little spat. stretching his striker spots. i think mancini has the right idea tho. show them whos boss.
i think we're both right about the corinthians deal (you more so). they wanted installments so they could use the upcoming boost from TV distribution funds. but its not like they arent going to get that money?
two big derbies this weekend. merseyside and spurs/gunners. should be interesting.
Firstly - that bolded comment is out of line. 96 people got crushed to death - no one was pushing anyone. Most of their arms were pinned to such a degree they couldn't breathe and hence suffocated. U should read some of the stuff survivors in the crowd were saying. People going blue, eyes bulging - it's some of the most harrowing stuff you'll ever read....
Secondly - Barton writes a lot on twitter, he's confrontational at times but mostly he gives as much as he gets - and u can imagine how much he gets - I give it too him too! Eg after that pathetic dive vs Arsenal that got Gervinho sent off - that was a joke and he copped it!!
3rdly - Barton has done things I have absolutely no time for. The street assault, the cigarette thing - they were disgusting and his copybook is always blotted in my eyes. I wouldn't have him back at City for anything. All I said originally was he was refreshing on twitter as he'll interact and is proactive promoting charities and stuff. Sure he has a crack at people on twitter but he's not the devil incarnate
As for the EPL, yep - I'll take 2 draws in those games. City away at Blackburn, United home to Norwich, Chelsea at Bolton going with form should be wins...All 4 derby teams really need to win so should be open games...

TOON TOON
honestly been a TOON fan im pretty happy hes gone though i didnt used to mind him on the field but off field is a different story.....but if you look at cabaye,tiote gutierrez,obertan and with ben arfa just back we dont need him thats a solid middle of the park and its showing
West Ham make move to loan Carlos Tevez - ESPN Soccernet
Tevez being touted to West Ham. Soccernet usually dont report anything that not pretty spot on these days.
Also i cant believe im saying this but I AGREE WITH WITH LJANDKG. I find Barton highly entertaining on twitter. It has shown a side i did not think could exist.

Just to get off the topic, during the transfer window, there was rumour after rumour about players joining Liverpool and other clubs, some of the stuff was so unbelievable, anyway you would think with the transfer window closed, that the rumour would go quite, not so, everyday hearing more and more ridiculous rumours, just read another
REPORTS: Liverpool Want David Villa AND Gonzalo Higuain In January | Football Talk | Premier League News
According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are looking at signing David Villa of Barcelona and Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain in January.
The report by Spanish radio station Cadena Ser claims that Liverpool are concerned at the lack of goals by Andy Carroll, Dirk Kuyt among others so far this season and are preparing big bids to land the top-class striking duo in the January transfer window in order to push for a tilt at the title.
Normally, I wouldn't mention these kind of rumours but it is so sensational that I felt I had to cover it. David Villa is very much playing second-fiddle to Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp, scoring 21 goals in 39 starts in a mostly left-wing position, what an addition he would be to Kenny and the team, his transfer fee is likely to be near the £30 million mark though.
Real Madrid's Gonzalo seems to be an option also as he is frozen out by Karin Benzema and José Mourinho, the Argentine has scored 71 goals in 132 appearances for Real, he won't come too cheap either.
So, it would likely require a further investment of £50 million upwards by John Henry to get these two class forwards, it may just happen. It would be great to get one or both of these high-quality forwards on the books at Liverpool, it would instantly move us up another level in the Premier League as, at the moment, Luis Suarez seems to be doing it all on his own

ahahaha. lucky the cops werent called...
Almunia to the Hammers for a one month loan to cover the loss of Rob Green. Good short term signing for West Ham. Almunia a solid keeper who played well early on in his Arsenal career, just couldn't cut it as a No 1 in a top team for an extended period...
City with a 4-0 win away, AJ and Balotelli with cracking goals and Nasri and Savic got off the mark too.... City have now scored 4,3,5,3,2,2 and 4 this season....no more Boring Boring City.....
As for Suarez and Atkinson - booooooooooooooooooo Rodwell hardly touched Suarez and absolutely murdered the ball - worst decision I've seen in ages....
