The Official Man Utd & Liverpool plus Chelsea, Everton and City Banter Thread!

We are in total agreement.

 

Doni is near his level, but Jones is nowhere near. He was barely good enough for a relegated Middlesbrough side a couple of years back. He did ok at the weekend, but Everton hardly gave him a stern test!

Impartial observer

At least you didn't use another "g" word

 

Come on Swarbs. You know I'm a pragmatic soul. Do you really think that was a penalty?

Don't mention the 'G' word. It was a lapse

 

I do. I thought Young brought his right foot round to try and make a sharp turn, the defender left his foot hanging out, Young was clipped, felt the contact and went down. Under the rules that's a penalty. I am well aware that many people disagree with me, but then I also thought the Adam one on Rio for Liverpool against Utd was a free kick and many people disagreed with me then. Also the Berbatov one on Agger. Ultimately, it's all a matter of opinion, and we debated (argued?) it to death last night so I have no desire to do the same again

I should say that I also think the rules should be changed so that contact by a defender on an attacker isn't automatically seen as a foul. But that's another debate entirely.

Couldn't resist

I'll stick to laughing at your premature celebration when Carroll nodded past the post, and the Everton supporting bird who took offence at your very vocal support

 

Here is the shortlist for the main award:
Segio Aguero (Man City)
Joe Hart (Man City)
Scott Parker (Tottenham)
Robin van Persie (Arsenal
Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
David Silva (Man City)

Here is the shortlist for the young player award:
Sergio Aguero (Man City)
Gareth Bale (Tottenham)
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea)
Kyle Walker (Tottenham)
Danny Welbeck (Man Utd)

who would you go for?

 

Afternoon Eric.

 

Enough

 

Rooney, Welbeck.

Job done

 

Touchy today Eric.

 

Van Persie for me for his super strong back, not easy carrying the entire Arsenal team all season

 

What a lot of bollocks those lists are.

Scott Parker Oxlade-Chamberlain Sturridge

 

Players who've been better than Scott Parker this season:

Alex Song, Michel Vorm, Demba Ba, Clint Dempsey, Grant Holt, Martin Skrtel, Juan Mata, Fabricio Coloccini, Patrice Evra (good season to be fair even though he's a ****), Tim Krul, Yohan Cabaye, Younes Kaboul etc etc.

Loads more aswell.

As for Oxlade Chamberlain, how many games has he actually started? I just looked and he's started 5 premier league games all season. Ha ha ha shows how media hype influences these decisions.

 

Surprised (well, not really, in retrospect) that neither Cabaye nor Ba have made the short lists. Newcastle, in terms of performance versus expectations, have been the best team this season. They should have at least one name in there.
Anyone notice how heavily English those lists are too?
7 out of 12 are English, 8 British.

 

What the **** are Aguero and Silva doing in there? The season didnt end in November.

 

Oh yeah, cos Aguero has been **** recently, hasn't he? He's only scored 4 goals and made 2 assists in his last 2 games. **** bastard.

 

Nah hes picked up again but he went away for a while, a bit like Tevez only without actually going anywhere...

 

Why hasn't Charlie Adam made the short list, he's so good.

 

I think all players have a quiet period some point in the season.

 

Their wouldn't be any point in having a short list then, would there? Everyone would know who'd won as soon as they saw his name.

 

Yeah true, he's Hollywood style of passing is unrivalled, soon there will be a film called Bend it Like Charlie Adam!
