11/12 Premier League thread

[Bobby Sands]

He is 36. Probably has a couple more years left in him. I hope the injuries wont leave him disabled though. It wouldnt be the end of the world if he couldnt play in goals again because as you said, he is reaching the end of his career. would have been much worse if it happened while he was in his prime. I dont why these footballers want to go around on motorbikes for anyway.

Same happened with Stefan Klos when at Rangers. I would have thought that the clubs would write into their contract that they wouldn't be allowed to do such things.

Or play squash NEGRI!

 

[DPG iz all I C]

LOL that was a great cover story.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Remember Matt Jansen? his career practically ended over a motorbike accident. He was young at the time too.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^Hes now playing in the Northern Premier League..which is 7-8 divisions below Premiership.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^yea i saw that but he was close to making the England team before his accident. He was even second highest scorer in the league back in 2002. He was never right afterwards.

 

[Sebastian]

Yeah, he crashed.

Am I an asshole if I don't really care?

All i know is that you are an asshole for so many other reasons.

This is true, but besides the point.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

yea ^^ jansen was a decent player.

he talked about his injuries on soccer am.

 

[Bobby Sands]

damn it, Van Persie is out for 4 months. he was raking in the points for me in Fantasy Football. Big loss for Arsenal.

was there really any point in having these bullshit friendlies yesterday?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yes, to make Arsenal weaker

 

[Bobby Sands]

Nooooo. David N'Gog broke his nose. we have no strikers now. could we have any worse luck.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Bryan Able can play upfront.

 

[Bobby Sands]

i guess Babel could play as out and out striker.

and no, N'Gog didnt land on his nose after his dive over Lee Carsley

just saw your post DPG lol

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Kuyt upfront?

 

[Duke]

I don't rate Babel at all, but Kuyt up front is also horrible. Bertje experimented with that in the NT, it didn't work out well. Kuyt is no striker.

And even though I hate Babel (useless cunt), he might be useful as a striker with space in front of him. He's got pace and a good shot (about his only qualities).

But when you're the dominant side, which Pool usually is or at least aspires to be, the space is gone and Babel again becomes teh useless.


So yeah, I'd say you're royally fucked.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Gerrard is back fit for the Man City game, i'd imagine he will play just off of Kuyt.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Gibbs is also injured.

 

[Bobby Sands]

but who goes on the right then? i reckon they'll have to play Babel up front. We are also short on the left side as well. Riera and Benayoun are both injured. I think El Zhar is fit again. maybe he will play on the right.
