English Football Thread 2012/2013

And I don't really want any of the 3: Harry Redknapp, Woy Hodgson or Mick McCarthy in charge of England.

I'm sure Redknapp will get it but something doesn't sit right with me.

Mick McCarthy?? He's not in the list - surely? Ditto 'Woy' Hodgson - he proved with Liverpool that he's a small club manager and nothing more. And Redknapp - I just don't know about him.
I know neither man has been in management for years, but I'd rather see Terry Venables, or Glen Hoddle back. Both men did a great job - at tournaments, where it counts, not just in friendlies or qualifiers.

Going back to today's game - I don't know what the Liverpool players were doing getting involved with Evra at the end - he was celebrating in front of his own fans.

Kenny's proper pissed off - hilarious.

Evra's epic reaction after the match.

 

[Haarithan]

I second/third that. Disgraceful stuff from Luis. I'm siding with Evra here.

I was trying to name the 3 English Premier League managers Colin mentioned but thinking about it McCarthy was born in Barnsley but played for Ireland so I don't know if he was one of the 3.

In other news - we became only the second team to beat Swansea on their own ground this season! Only Man Utd have managed it other than us. We. Are. Staying. Up!

 

[Haarithan]

We. Are. Staying. Up!

...and you're Catching. Us. Up. too. Well played, great result.

7. Liverpool 38
8. Norwich 34

 

[barmyarmy]

It's Pardew (4-0 at half time), Hodgeson (Yeah wight) and Harry...

We. Are. Staying. Up!

No champagne til you reach 40 points

+1

But yeah, Suarez is a tweaking disgrace to English football. Should have been banned for life or at least kicked by Liverpool.

Watching a discussion about the handshake that never was. So far I've heard critisism of Evra, Fergason and the FA.

How ANYONE other than the racist piece of scum in a Liverpool shirt can be critisised is beyond me! And Tony Cottee thinks its time they got rid of the pre-game handshake! No Tony! Why don't we focus on getting rid of racist scum instead!

I'm astonished at how little people have actually said about the racist scum in this.

United brought back Scholes, arsenal brought back Henry, Liverpool brought back racism.

 

[KBC]

How many more times will he Apologize? He apologized after he got banned, and now he snubs the handshake and apologizes. Better we're done with this already but Suarez can't stand on his word.

Man City 0 - 2 Aston Villa. D

 

[Dr. Pepper]

I'm glad that the people at the top have finally stepped in. Punishment served, apologies made, now the whole thing can be put to bed hopefully.

He is racist and is banned for eight games. He is racist again and only has to apologize??! He should be banned until he can make a convincing show of not being a racist ????. Or forever, whichever comes first.

Reds accept rivals' apology - Official Manchester United Website

Glad, relieved, etc. to say the least. Feel thankful to United. Finally a good day in this sorry saga.

How was he racist again?

Sorry mate, you've been badly misinformed - City are winning that game 1-0 right now.

Yep, I'm a bit baffled by that comment as well.

I just saw a documentary that I'd had on my DVD rec. for a while - Cantona: Looking for Manchester, and I had to laugh when one City fan was going on about Utd's faith never being tested. So she's obviously unaware of the 26 year gap between titles before we won the inaugural Premiership season then. :
