The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Mad Jack]

It should be noted that Ferguson, despite investment, didn't win anything for 4 years after arriving at United, and didn't win the league for 6 years or so.

AVB needs something Premier League managers rarely get now, time.

[Lineker]

AVB won't be going anywhere.

Massive game for us tonight, particularly with the Chelsea/Utd result yesterday.

It may just be because I frequent a Chelsea forum and therefore see a thousand of the things, but this strikes me as the most cliché post ever.

Seriously. Right down to the SAF example and the grammatical structure of the final sentence.

Massive game for both teams. You lot can gain ground on United and build a gap between you lot and Chelsea

Massive game for us due to Arsenal and Newcastle winning and Chelsea dropping points we can close the gap on 4th.

Should be an entertaining game but quite anxious due to our poor form against Spurs we normally show. If we play like we did against City, United and Wolves can't see why we can't win. Hopefully we can handle Bale and Modric alot better than we did at White Hart Lane.

[Lineker]

Harry won't be at the game tonight, the weather has caused him travel problems from his trial in London.

Not 'triffic

Is it a cliche if it's true?

Although some managers do get/have gotten too much time *cough*Wenger*cough*

[MJB]

Really hoping the Liverpool vs Spurs game goes ahead, however the fog in and around Anfield doesn't look too promising on television.

[Lineker]

Fog has lifted now. Game is on.

[Hobo]

Suarez is on the bench!

Starting XI: Reina, Johnson, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Spearing, Kuyt, Gerrard, Adam, Carroll, Bellamy.

[Lineker]

Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Adam, Spearing, Kuyt, Gerrard, Bellamy, Carroll.

Subs: Doni, Aurelio, Suarez, Henderson, Coates, Downing, Carragher.

Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto, Parker, Livermore, Kranjcar, Modric, Bale, Adebayor.

Subs: Cudicini, Saha, Rose, Nelsen, Khumalo, Luongo, Lancaster.

Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)

Adebayor passed fit. VDV misses out. Dawson and Livermore in; King plays.

[Adam]

Good to see Kranjcar getting a run in the team at the minute, always thought he was being overlooked unfairly at Spurs.

[MDK]

[Lineker]

I get it because lol Liverpool.

[Marcos]

Surely the reason Charlie Adam is on the pitch is to take set pieces from just outside the box!

[stokeriño]

Cat on the pitch! Cat on the pitch!

[MDK]

Best Liverpool signing ever.

[DavidMarrio]

Awww at the cat. Also great tackle from Dawson before when Gerrard played Carroll through, don't get why Cahill is preferred to Dawson for England.

[Colly]

All in agreement the cat was the only interesting thing in that whole first half? Oh, and Bale bumping into stuff.

[Summers]

Easily.. Very boring half of football. Hoping to see Saha come on and score the winner at some point.
