[Archived] Premier League Happenings

I wonder if Sherwood had come to Rovers, would he have got the best out of Best?

Another goal for Adebayor, and another win.

Not too Shebby, sorry, shabby.

Did you just compare Adebayor to Leon Best?

I hope this is another one of your funnies.

[Stuart]

Like a Bumley wedding, it's all relative, Am'o.

On another note, why has Defoe been allowed to continue to play for Tottenham after the close of the transfer window when he has already signed for Toronto? Surely he should have been gone by now.

When was the last time Best scored more than 10 goals in a season?

[Stuart]

What does that have to do with anything?

I suggested that Sherwood might be able to get inside the heads of bad boy, outcast footballers and get the best of out them.

[Amo]

Because Adebayor has a proven pedigree, Best does not.

Fulham dropping Parker and Hangeland for the game against Utd. An 18 year old Swede, Tankovic, starts upfront.

This will either go really well or tragically wrong.

Wasn't Ryan Tunnicliffe playing for Barnsley not too long ago?

Sherwood apparently motivating Adebayor reminds me of tle old saying about "poachers making the best gamekeepers".

Going ok so far!

Manchester United are pathetic. Cross after cross, they can't do anything else Moyes will go down in the history books as the man who destroyed a title winning team in a single season. Any legacy he built at Everton is being wiped out by his appalling tenure at Old Trafford. Couldn't be happening to a nicer bloke

[davulsukur]

And when Fulham have Allardyce's wet dream of a defender in the form of 6'7" Dan Burn, all he will ever do is head crosses away.

[DE.]

Watching this there is no doubt in my mind Fulham are going down. They are pitiful.

[Stuart]

I wondered who put the kiss of death on them. Thanks a lot DE.

On a side note, I was wondering who that woman was with RFW. Turns out it was a particularly well coiffured Mick Hucknall.

It was coming to be fair. Fulham are an embarrassment to the premier league.

After slating United I suppose you had to backtrack there. Isn't it better to keep quiet until the final whistle ?

No, because United have been pathetic. The fact they've scraped a couple of goals against the worst team in the league does nothing to disprove my point.

You a closet manc pal?

[DE.]

Ha ha superb.

[K-Hod]

LOL

[Stuart]

:lol: :lol:

All is forgiven, DE.

"Closest Relegation Battle in History" by Robbie Savage and after yesterday, I can't be sure Norwich is one of the three to go down, would have thought Man City would win comfortably, good for Steve Bruce to win yesterday vs. Sunderland, the way at least some treated him there.

Fulham got a result, as bad as they have played, they have a relatively soft list of fixtures at season's end.

So this is interesting and the clubs are probably fairly close to each other.

The same Robbie Savage who said Palace were "dead certs" for relegation a couple of months back. Now he's tipped them to stay up. He flip flops more than a fish out of water.

[K-Hod]

He also said West Ham would finish above Everton at the start of the season...

[DE.]

Fulham got lucky today, but I cannot see them staying up. They haven't got the quality on the playing or coaching side to avoid the drop imo.

United meanwhile will do well to finish 7th. The only tactic they have is to cross the ball relentlessly, and teams have quickly figured them out. Defensively they have become very weak.

I think I read on the BBC that United put in the most crosses today since OPTA stats began and yet at no point did Moyes figure out it wasn't really working and try something different.

[Stuart]

Jamie Carragher: "If your* David Moyes, you probably want to miss out on the Europa League as well. He won't want to be playing Thursday, Sunday when he's mounting a title challenge next season".

I don't know how he kept a straight face. I bet he has a good old celebratory drum on his steering wheel when he gets into his car tonight.

I know it was spoken but if he wrote it down I reckon that's how he'd spell it.

Thing is, this isn't Subbuteo. Surely Man. Utd's players are experienced enough to realize when a tactic patently isn't working and try something different?

82 crosses in 90 minutes seems to suggest otherwise!
