2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

[ooneil]

A good headline but little substance.

Maybe 50 cent should get an 8 game suspension for saying the N word in all his songs.

 

[sgt_pepper]

Maybe in France the "N" word has a different meaning...

pretty big difference. hes not on a football pitch for starters.

Paperwork completed, Thierry Henry has signed on loan for the Arsenal. Two months I believe. Eligibly to play against Leeds in the Cup in a few days

Deal runs until 16th Feb, with option to extend until the 26th......which would see him play his last match against the yids

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ you got a link? i read reports as little as 3 hours ago saying the insurance aspect had stalled talks. and NY want less than two months for the loan period?
if it hasnt happened yet, hes missed the deadline to be able to play against leeds...

hmmm, i'll wait another hour before i really start celebrating. dudes from the mirror and telegraph have let me down too many times, and sky has been getting slack aswell. not that i dont think itll happen, just that i hope its done in time (another hour or so) so hes eligible for the cup match.
looking forward to the leeds game now tho...

 

[rishgoon]

Just ticked over midday in London, which was the deadline... Yeah cannot wait for Leeds. Henry scored 4 against them last time he played them...

 

[sgt_pepper]

and wenger says RVP will be rested, so its a perfect time to give him a proper run from the start. get him warmed up a bit.

ive missed him so much...

You can add Downing in that as well....

and shelvey got his first aswell.
im sure the scousers will stick up for the fan/s involved. that kind of talk is common practice in mersey-side, so its just another misunderstanding. seriously tho, fans, unlike players, have been banned quite a few times for racial reasons, and its usually a life-time ban.

[sgt_pepper]

nice goal. gutierrez goal was quality aswell. i think hes pretty under-rated/used...

 

[rishgoon]

Paul Scholes on the bench for Manure?? Not sure he'll make much difference. Citeh 3-1

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ scholes?! aaaahhahahahahahahahahahaha. fergie probably thinks this is a genious move. thierry henry he aint.
fergie really is losing it... *waits for cantona to come back*

EDIT: and hes signed for the rest of the season?!

 

[lilreddevil]

Well well well, who saw this coming?

Paul Scholes on the bench for Manure?? Not sure he'll make much difference. United 0-6

Well well well, who saw this coming?

I DID!
nah, crazy game. The sending off was an interesting one. Two footed challenge from Kompany, you might say fair enough. But he got the ball, and Nani normally goes down like a sook after minimal contact, so maybe a yellow card would of been fair. Hopefully City lift their game and make it more interesting 2nd half
