--------------Mignolet---------------
Johnson-Sakho-Skrtl-Flanagan
--------Allen--------Rakitic--------
--Salah---Coutinho----Suarez--
----------Strurridge------------

If we sign both Salah and Rakitic this could easily be our starting 11, I'm not totally convinced at Allen at CDM, but he suits our style of play more than Lucas and is much faster than Gerrard.

If we don't sign Rakitic then just replace him with Henderson, it'll be the same style of play and would cut through most teams in the premier league.

I think Suarez is on too good a run of form to push him out wide, he's on target to score about 40 league goals! Maybe Sturridge would have to go wide, but then that was the reason he left Chelsea! 4222 would be the best bet I think.

The most overrated type of goal is the one where a player runs almost unopposed from his own half with the ball and goes on to score, like Rodwell against Man Utd.

That fucking Ben Arfa one where he just runs in a straight line.

My GF wants me to show her Metal Gear Solid 4.

Bale against that shit team all the goals of the season are scored against.

 

[L1NETT]

That fucking Ben Arfa one where he just runs in a straight line.

The one against Bolton? I like that one.

A better example would be the Ravel Morrison one against Spurs where Michael Dawson looks like he's in a training drill floundering like the donkey he is.

That's just rubbish defending, and people were going nuts for that one.

 

[LegoArmo]

Gary Hooper seems like such an idiot for going to Norwich now, he'll be back playing in the Championship within a year or two instead of playing in the Champions League (admittedly finishing 4th in the group).

Having your players on too good a form to drop is never a bad thing

I think potentially your formation would just as equally work, however our front four there can all play in any number of combinations. Whenever Suarez and Sturridge play, they don't stick to fixed positions and drop into other positions quite a lot, which I'm sure will continue once Sturridge is fit again.

 

[Salvadora]

I'm usually pessimistic, but I'm unusually confident for the Newcastle.

This is true. Over the last few games, Suarez has often found himself out wide, whilst Sterling has almost been an auxilliary centre forward at times, and it's worked to great effect. I have no doubt Suarez and Sturridge could do something similar in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

Some reports coning out that Montoya's contract negotiations have halted. Fully expect he'll have a deal in place to move by the end of Jan.

Speaking of mid 00s bands, I relistened to Silent Alarm by Bloc Party yesterday. So good, and so much wasted potential with the follow ups.

Silent Alarm and the b-sides before and just after it were brilliant.

Silent Alarm is probably one of my favourite albums.

Really not sure what happened after that..

What made Silent Alarm so great was the production, so after changing producers it was just never going to happen for BP again.

Moyes vs Mourinho::

Moyes: W:17, D:6, L:5, GF:52, GA:25;
Mourinho: W:17, D:4, L:7, GF:52, GA:25.

Very close.

Did whoever chose today's live games lose a bet, or something?

 

[British Monsoon]

Christmas is never the happiest time of year for me and, as per usual, West Ham are doing little to help. Come on you fucking Irons, give me some god damned entertainment!

JOEY FUCKING COLE!!!!

Great little one, two between Cole & Nolan there, great goal. COYI!!!

Wut?!

Get in there, Moyes.

 

[Salvadora]

Chelsea.

Can't see it.

Chelsea need a striker desperately, but Mario is too much of a risk. He's a known quantity in England as well.

 

[Milchmonster]

My GF wants me to show her Metal Gear Solid 4.

And Metal Gear Solid 4 is a code word for?

 

[KidA Seven]

Get in there, Moyes.

Pls no

What's he done?

 

[L1NETT]

West Brom look lost.

 

[KidA Seven]

What's he done?

He only wants to win penalties.

 

[Ushojax]

West Ham scored from a through ball.

Football is dying again.

 

[British Monsoon]

We've also only scored one goal from a set piece this season.

What madness is this?

https://twitter.com/nikpostinger/status/416895326042456064

Wut?!

No joke, Brendan could probably touch the crazy out of him, but he's not better than Sturridge or Suarez so not worth the £20m he would cost.

 

[Ushojax]

We've also only scored one goal from a set piece this season.

Reid v Spurs

someone kill me

 

[L1NETT]

I like West Brom's attacking unit, but to be honest they look shoddy. Clarke dismissal is bemusing, especially as they evidently now how nobody lined up.

Pepe Mel deal telegraph reported on appears to be off.

 

[Elchele]

wow, they're playing again, just two days after the last matchday? that's crazy

 

[Ushojax]

This is EPL, yeah.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Balotelli the player could win us the title. Balotelli the man could wreck our season.

 

[Freewheelin']

Yep, problem with having no break, but it's awesome for the fans.

 

[Bumhead]

Only problem with the Premiership playing today is that the Football League aren't. We are on tomorrow.

Not sure why.

 

[Hixx]

"Among the signings which angered Tan was Cornelius.
The 20-year-old striker left FC Copenhagen, where he earned £6,000 a week, to sign a five-year contract at Cardiff worth £45,000 a week."

lol

He will score today like.

 

[WJD]

Rumbles of RVP travelling and Rooney being out.

We're such a fucking mess this season. In pretty much every aspect.

 

[Salazar]

WBA need to just start putting shots vaguely on target. Stop fucking passing it backwards in the final third.

 

[L1NETT]

Only problem with the Premiership playing today is that the Football League aren't. We are on tomorrow.

No idea, TV money? Need football on throughout the festive period?

This match is a real thriller.

Anelka goal!

 

[WJD]

That's a really fucking cool finish, Nic.

 

[British Monsoon]

Fucking Anelka, jeez.

Come on West Ham, I just want one piece of joy from this goddamned depressing-ass holiday season.
