The Football Thread 2011/12

Acting like children. Evra looked hesitant and expected suarez to come straight to him rather than meet half way. Anyway the media have made things worse, as usual.

If anyone has made anything worse, it's "King" Kenny's ludicrous comments after the match.

He has been rather deluded in the whole affair hasn't he.

I actually used to like him before all this, but I've lost all respect for him now.

I do think the handshake is open to interpretation but the hand was there for Suarez to shake, no matter how low it was. If he'd have only grabbed it and shook it, none of this would be happening now and he could have started to move on with putting the whole affair behind him.

[Saint of Killers]

Who are you to say I'm wrong? Because it's your oh-so dear Man Utd?

I'm saying you're wrong because it's like you're saying a triangle is a square.

We cannot be sure what was in Evra or Suarez's minds as they stood there. What we can be sure of is that Evra's hand was not clearly by his side as you say.

The Sunday times saying Suarez is Like general Pinochet!

Gain some perspective, he didn't shake a players hand, he's not responsible for Genocide!

Rightly or wrongly, Suarez feels HE is the victim, I wish people could get their collective heads around this fact.

Please tell me it was tongue in cheek?

Well what General do you think he's most like, then?

[Saint of Killers]

SoK was of the opinion that Evra might have pulled his hand away at first, so no, it's not that.

Thank you!

True, that was a bit exaggerated.

As were your Rooney comments. More so!

The Sunday times saying Suarez is Like general Pinochet!

Did The Times really actually say that? Not only a loss maker but full of OTT bollocks too. Bloody hell.

[Bene Version 3]

Still going on about this gooseberry fool.

Anyhoo, after all 3 teams I backed to win lost yesterday I reckon today the early game will be a draw and then City will narrowly beat Villa.

Robbie Keane's last game for Villa too right? The 3 big players to come from the MLS have all done great (Henry, Donavon, and Keane). Donavon need to play in this league permanently.

Keane has surprised me as well, he was gooseberry fool in his last spell in the prem but has been quality for Villa so far. Would Villa fans like to see him join the club on a permanent deal?

Describes Suarez as "Loathsome" and says "Suarez is south Americas greatest charmer since General Pinochet".

Keane is brilliant for Ireland though, his scoring record is mental!

[Photek]

I know, maybe Maradonna would have been more apt?!

Think Henry can play against AC Milan.

[Minto]

They gotta find a way to sell those papers. What better way than to jump on the bandwagon!

[Corazon de Leon]

I actually witnessed a win yesterday, I'm still in a reasonable level of shock. I just hope Steve Kean's ego isn't inflated even more by this win...



Oh.

1966

I spotted that too. Was hoping someone else would mention it first though.

:mrgreen:

faek edit: strawberry floating knew it'd end up on 1967

[Cuttooth]

It's '67 stop mentioning it already.

[Corazon de Leon]

That's all very well and good, but you've posted on page 1967. A year which was EVEN BETTER for British football:

Weren't they all local lads too or something?

Can't wait for '68

It's '67 stop mentioning it already.

I was playing the role of the English media, squeezing as much out of a diddy story as possible.
