October 28. Everton put back in their place. ;)

Counting down the days.

Hail.

I believe you are confused good sir. Everton is currently in their place, above Liverpool, the same way last season ended.

BTW, congrats on getting out of the relegation zone. :-P

Im looking forward to 9 points to finish out October.

some more confirmation that the premiership may be bent

Accrington Stanley vs. Rochdale is where Chris Foy will be on Saturday at 3pm BST. I wonder whyhttp://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/stopit.png

I found this to be interesting. Here's an article from ESPN denying it, but still, it is interesting.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1178898/premier-league-deny-chris-foy-demotion?cc=5901

The Premier League has denied that Chris Foy's officiating of a League Two game this weekend is as a result of a demotion, following recent criticism aimed at the referee from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Foy was on the wrong end of a furious Ferguson on Saturday, with the Manchester United manager blaming him for his side's 3-2 defeat to Tottenham.

The referee was accused of turning down two clear penalties as well as only playing four minutes of injury time.

The Merseyside official has been given the League Two clash between Accrington Stanley and Rochdale this Saturday in the wake of Ferguson's rant.

However, Premier League bosses insist Foy has not been demoted and have backed his Old Trafford performance.

"There is absolutely no truth in suggestions Chris has been demoted or punished in some way," spokesman Phil Dorward said. "The fact is it is his turn to officiate at a League game this weekend.

"Chris has refereed more Premier League games than most this season and there is a rota system in place.

"We have been delighted with the standard of Chris's performances. He's having a good season."

Foy was embroiled in controversy last season after coming under fire for his performance in Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Stoke, leading Spurs fans to take to Twitter to abuse the official, only to mistake him for Olympic cyclist Chris Hoy.

So, Kean gone and Rovers have had two draws since then. Eric Black as the interim manager and from the sounds of it he's already been better than Kean because he's been trying to shore up the defense. Played a 3-5-2, I believe (or a 5-3-2) against Nottingham Forrest for a 0-0 draw, neither side really having any bite for various reasons. Still, I find it encouraging because Black is trying new things to help the squad shore up the defense and also that the squad has earned two draws under an interim manager.

Are you trolling again? What the heck are you talking about?

why would I be trolling? I never troll :)

the guy is a clown shoes centerback. He lunges into tackles in bad areas, he is out of position often because he is bombing forward, and he loses concentration.

The guy is a great footballer, but a bad defender. Last night highlighted all that is bad about him. And for some reason, Wenger made the guy captain. :doh:

I wish Wenger drops dude for Mertesacker, but it will never happen.

Thought I'd share this thread from BigSoccer. HIlarious

The Pickup Players you Meet in Hell

http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/the-pickup-players-you-meet-in-hell.1972368/

Johnny Laser Show

Never misses a chance to rip full-force shots from 30 yards out, despite the fact that we’re playing with 4-foot-wide goals and a “has-to-go-in-on-the-ground” rule. Good thinking, ass.

The Wall

The s—tty yin to Johnny Laser Show’s s—tty yang. At all times, he’s planted directly in the middle of the 4-foot-wide goal he’s defending, thereby making it impossible to score unless you can figure out a way to quantum tunnel the ball through his body. I will gladly blast shots at this guy’s junk to get him to knock it off and play the game like a real man.

Tony Longbomb

Hmm, I could try to make that simple, logical pass to my teammate who’s standing wide open, 10 yards in front of me…OR I COULD TRY TO LAUNCH A 60-YARD AERIAL PASS THAT SPLITS EIGHT DEFENDERS AND IS AS LIKELY TO FIND ITS INTENDED TARGET AS I AM TO HAVE A 3-WAY WITH KATE UPTON AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON!!!!! JEAH!!!! LET’S DO THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET THE BALL!!!

Merdinho

Refuses to pass the ball to anyone without a foreign accent and generally struts about the park with a smug sense of superiority because the best eleven players from his country happen to be better than the best eleven players from your country. This despite the fact that Merdinho himself can’t dribble 3 yards without tripping over the ball, gets winded tucking in his shirt, and generally bears as much resemblance to Neymar as he does to a space alien.

Merdinho Dos

Refuses to pass the ball to anyone without a foreign accent and generally struts about the park with a smug sense of superiority despite the fact that his country sits roughly 170 spots below yours in the FIFA rankings. Wears a Barcelona jersey. Sucks big-time.

Timmy Rabona

Has ridiculous, silky-smooth dribbling skills and knows every circus trick in the book. Unfortunately, he has zero game sense and is somehow incapable of putting the proper weight on a 5-yard square pass. Will invariably try to dribble past the entire opposing defense. Usually succeeds in beating two or three defenders before getting swarmed and losing the ball because everyone knows he’s not passing. Actually succeeds in dribbling through everyone and scoring once every million attempts. This somehow justifies his trying to do the same thing another 999,999 times.

Meat

Played high-school football. Two hundred pounds of rock-solid muscle, zero agility or body control. Goes flying into every challenge like William Wallace on methamphetamine. Completely oblivious to how the sport should be played. Leaves a trail of destruction everywhere he goes on the field.

Joey Eurosport

Rolls up to the park wearing gear whose aggregate cost exceeds the GDP of Western Samoa. Unfortunately, his TechFit jersey and Mercurial Vapors do little to mask the fact that he sucks mule balls.

Need to add that this guy usually comes to the game with gel in his hair.

boysetsfire and I have encountered Merdinho Dos many times in our pickup days. In one instance, the guy was on our team and literally came up and tackled the ball away from boysetsfire at midfield.

This week's episode was fantastic

It indeed was man.

BR style just blows you away every time you hear him speak. How freaking awesome must Lucas of felt before the Gommel game after he picked him out in the team talk? And loved DJ George getting his 5 minutes. Dudes a part of the furniture as much as anyone. He only got the gig by walking upto the club way back when and saying he thought the guy on the PA was crap and he could do a better job. 50 years later, he's still there every home game.

As soccer doco's go, this really has been one of the more insightful and better done ones I've seen. A lot of PR of course, and no doubt Fox wouldn't of looked twice at us if it wasn't for Henry and FSG; but they've done a boss job. Pity it's only in 6 episodes.

Hail.

A few years ago I signed up for some soccer league at our local gym. I got placed on a team with a few chaps from south of the border who were not exactly into the concept of it being a passing, team game. Their idea was you dribble up the field, ignoring your open teammates, until dispossessed. They had neither the speed nor skills to make this an effective strategy. The icing on the cake was when one of them adopted this approach multiple times during his stint in goal.

****ing unbelievable
