No. The English Manual to Defending in the Premiership is still being unsuccessfully searched for in the wreckage of the Titanic.

Where do you guys think Liverpool went wrong?

when aaron started supporting them

When they were bought by Hicks and Gillett. The sacking of Benitez also didn't help as he is by far the best manager they've had in recent memory.

 

[Nzoric]

Benitez leaving marked the end of Lpool.

 

[acmilan]

Theo Walcott has now scored 14 goals and made 10 assists - in his last 20 games for Arsenal.

has been a busy bee in search for the new juicy contract

 

[Nzoric]

He's gonna get it now. The day after it's signed he'll tear both his ACL's.

 

[ALC]

they just made a lot of bad moves in the market and lost some key players (xabi + mascherano)

Don't know what like the ownership was in the early 90s.

They were already shite by the time I was really aware of what was going on.

Not sure there is much more to it than appointing some bad managers and not making many good signings.

Not aware of them being short of cash, so was just a case of them not properly replacing good players when they left/retired.

They were on the verge of getting back to having a genuinely good team under Benitez - one that they could have build on and established as a top side with a good signing per year - but they fucked that up by selling Xabi Alonso.

good points, anyway fuck them.. that's karma for Heysel.

MU's winning mentality is amazing. Still wondering if it's become part of club DNA like Juve, Real and Bayern, or will it vanish once SAF is finally gone. Just like Inter's "winning mentality" disappeared once Mourinho left, and Milan's once Berlu stopped giving a fuck.

I reckon it will stay around, even if Ferguson leaves. They've been used to winning trophies now for the past 20 years, it's part of the ethos of the club now. They are like us, Real, Bayern etc. Elite club...as much as I fucking hate them.

I wank on them everywhere

You took the words right out of my mouth. Words cannot begin to describe the pathetic defending I've just witnessed on Match of the day on the BBC..

Calendar year stats are pointless and shit.

 

[Red]

In fact, the calendar as it is is pointless.

The year should be adjusted to tie in with the football season.

I kind of find it hard to revel in Manchowder's 4-3 win over Newcastle as one of the "Premiership's great matches" when Hitler could have parked the Bismark in front of the opponents goal at times and the defenders would have never found it.

At what point will people round here become dismissive of someone like Van Persie scoring lots of goals in England in the way they would be if he was doing the same thing in Spain?

I gotta say, he's impressed at Manchowder as well.

Do you think that defences in Spain are better and more organised than those in the EPL?

At this point I'd definitely say yes. I reckon Serie A teams defend much better, even the shite like Siena, Chievo, Bologna etc.
