MWUUHHAHAHAHHAHA! I’m American, and I’m going to conquer the WOOOORLD with my evil, overly padded version of “Football”! Starting with this thread!
That’s right. Go Patriots. Oh, so sorry, Steelers! Clearly, this just ain’t your week!

Love, Kn(ahem, my apologies for that outburst. Carry on. whistles God Save the Queen)ckers
I’d just like to say “Yay! We beat Derby!!!” After Burnley’s abysmal performance, we do well by beating a former Premiership side - yay!
the old ones are the old ones. Incidentally arsenal are the only english club not named after the place they come from.
And on the off chance that there is anyone in the whole wide world that hasn’t received the Roy Keane Rhapsody here it is (nb mods, this is not copyright, but a public domain email thingum that’s been floating around the interweb)
To the tune of bohemian rhapsody, natch

Spurs and Fulham.
Oh dear.
Looks like our young goallie Robinson is going to get lots of practice(if the Newcastle match is anything to go by), it’s all intentional of course, we want another player in the England set up so we can give Rio a hard time, maybe even try Scum tactics of touching up possible talent.

“Oh dear” indeed. I don’t know how any team goes from 2-0 at half-time to 2-3 unless the other manager completely outwits your manager - which doesn’t sound too unreasonable to me, but I not the greatest fan of Glenda’s tactical savvy. Dude, you need to remember they will change tactics so the “more of the same” half-time team talk is for the amateur leagues (assuming that’s what you did).
Anyone know why Robbie Keane didn’t get a run out ?
Hoddle said that he wanted to use Keane but the injury to Chris Perry forced him to bring on another Doherty as the third substitute instead.
“Another Doherty”? I English type good.
Thanks. I suppose in the cliched/20-20 way of football, the choice of substitution looks poor (it was made at 2-1, I think ?) and much as I’m less than convinced of Glenda’s tactical abilities, I can’t form a view as I wasn’t there.
And it was Doherty who allegedly handballed for the penalty…Hey ho.
Owly, excellent lyrics. I hadn’t heard it before and will share it with all and sundry.
As the Gooners move into top gear, quaking is heard all over London, especially at White Hart Lane among the dedicated Spurs fans. Shoulders slump (or feathers in some cases) in despair as they know that their season is over. Top of the Premiership for 2 1/2 weeks. That’s it. Not even a year ending in a one to keep their crumbling hopes alive.
Fast forward to 2012. The transfer window closes with Spurs failing, yet again, to find a decent striker. After being turned down by Jurgen Klinsman, Gary Lineker and Jimmy Greaves, they decide soldier on with 47-year old Les Ferdinand and 46-year old Teddy Sheringham. “They’re good for one more season,” says manager Hoddle. “And if Anderton gets his new motorised wheelchair, we’ll soon be benefitting from those raking long balls of his.” Rumours that the Spurs owners, Enic, are prepared to invest in the club are strongly denied.
That’s not nice Go ALIEN, not nice at all.
The pikies got another win today, and this is without question the best arse-anal team ever. Bugger.
However despite our horrible “hiccup” during he week we should do the spanners tomorrow.
Pest ham is one of my top games of the year as it is always entertaining, on the field and off, its a shame its a Sunday as it limits the after game fun and drinking (the harmless kind of fun).
Glenda does worry me with his rather dogmatic approach and how that worthless alkie Iversen gets a game ahead of Keane defeats me completely.
It was gardiner who gave away the penalty (rather stupidly)
Man Utd lost today too, which is nice.
And, most importantly, the Latics put six past Mansfield Town thanks to the heroics of Fitz Hall in defence (watch this lad!) and some decent shooting from Clyde Wijnhard. Once we get our squad fit – we’re still waiting on four first-team certs to come back from injury – we could be lethal.
Well Oldham certainly kill me:D
I would not be at all surprised if West Ham win thier next match, they need to start winning soon. Their directors made a huge error in getting rid of Harry Redknapp(and the real story does not seem to have emerged yet - unless someone here knows better), there is every chance that Pompey and Hammers will have to wait some years as they will likel cross over in the relegation/promotion jostle.
Spurs and Boring are likely to run into some problems very soon, probably as the season draws to its climax.
The average ages of both squads are the highest in the premiership, and that means longer recovery times, crucial players will be missing for possibly important matches, Boring can probably cope this season but if Spurs have a good couple of cup runs, they are bound to feel the strain.

When the champions league gets under way, along with the domestic cup competitions Boring could be vulnerable, anyhow, we should give them a pretty good kicking around the park later this month.
We’ve done the Toon, and now we’ve done the Scum, bring it on!
Well, please allow me to retract my earlier comment about how we’ll probably win the league anyway.
If we play against Rangers the way we played today, they’ll mop the floor with us.
Happy to help:
'Appy 'arry left the spanners as an alternative to them going for a full on George Graham type enquiry. There was a fingers/till interface and he got caught.
If you want fuller details just ask.
Incidentally the only reason that a monkey headed manager is keeping his job is that he is working for free this season to repay a similar “bung”.
Its a myth that spurs have got an old squad.
Today: Etherington Gardiner; thatcher; keane and davies all turned out. Hardly old men now are they?
The future’s bright, the future’s lillywhite.
Three games without a win for the Imps’ confirms resumption of normal service. The slide down the table to low grade mediocrity has begun. The exepcted defeat by mighty Southend (“mighty”? who writes this drek?) will simply confirm the oncoming, inevitable battle with relegation. 
Lincoln City, the Spurs of the Third Division, only without the reputation, history, talent, money, manager, prospects…
So 'arry is a bit 'andy with the till eh?
Seems like he’s just the manager for Leeds, we always like to do our bit in helping offenders back into the community, and look at how well they’re doing too, good old George is getting along nicely, and when we’ve rehabilitated El Tel and he retires 'Arry might be needed.
The not so mighty Southampton are of to a flyer. 5 points in 6 games, thats our best start for a few seasons. It would have been better if our keeper could catch the ball.
