The Soccer Thread (IV)

My favorite moment of last year's entire Prem season was when Tony Pulis called him out. It was absolutely brilliant.

 

What a shitty match that was.

Arsenal will finish ahead of United in the final table, though.

Turnabout is fair play on the penalty, I suppose, but the stripes put this one under Sir Alex's Christmas tree. And Arsenal dismantled Celtic with or without the Eduardo penalty.

 

And Spurs are still 100% after Aaron Lennon pulls out a monster of a miracle strike on effectively the last kick of the match to lift them past Birmingham City 2-1. Total bailout -- not only were they going to cede a result, they really looked like they'd go down in the final 10 minutes.

 

I hope Michael Dean and crew choke on their yellow cards. Guy's an idiot.

 

For the zero people who care, Leeds is still 100 percent in League 1 after a ripping 2-1 win at noted evil rival Colchester United.

The fur flies in the Colchester-Leeds derby.

 

On the other hand, I bet more than zero people care when Leeds plays its third-round Carling Cup match ... at home against Liverpool.

It's official: Seeing Ajax on the 20th.

 

Aren't gonna be too many teams with a longer journey to Carlisle than Portsmouth. I'm sure they were thrilled to see that draw.

 

When was the last match between Chelsea and QPR? Will Flavio and Bernie be at Stamford Bridge?

 

You only say that because he's on my fantasy team!

 

The BBC's new 'Football League Show' has provided an impressive lesson in the unbelievably poor quality of some League 2 defending and the utter cheapness of many League 2 goals.

 

Oh fuck yeah. Eat a big rosy dick, Liverpool!
