The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Summers]

Clip is probably a strong word. "Ran near him" would be more apt.

I love how every commentator will change their mind on whether handballs need to be 'deliberate' with every other incident.

Well, okay, 'love' is a bit strong.

[Summers]

That's why I said earlier if the pen was for Murphy's tackle there would have been a card due to the type of tackle.

[IAceI]

Hello, Ace! Also, definite pen.

Hi Baddar. Shocking that we can go from 3-3 away at a 100% Man City to capitulating - as per usual - against Everton. Although I do love Fellaini. Fantastic player.

[Baddar]

I'm pretty sure when Murphy was talking to the ref after it, Clattenburg said ''the follow through'' after Murphy claimed to have won the ball, so I'm assuming that's what he meant by ''clipped on the way through'' - I reckon Shreevesy and Murphy are both reading it wrong.

[Liam]

I thought it was given for handball against Murphy.

[stokeriño]

FFS Meireles. At least it shows that Football Manager were spot on with having him punt 9/10 of his shots high into the stands.

[Liam]

Kerim Frei really is the Turkish Messi

[Summers]

He's a bit good with the ball at his feet.

[Liam]

Lets watch Dickson Etuhu play 6 yard balls to the left and to the right. Fun.

[Colly]

It got Scott Parker player of the year last season.

[Liam]

And has people creaming over Scholes again >_>

[Lineker]

GET THE FUCK IN THERE DEMPSEY YOU BEAUTY

[stokeriño]

Guess I was wrong.

'Kay.

1-0 to Chelsea. We will now attempt to defend the entire second half and gift an equaliser in the 70-somethingth 80-somethingth minute. After that we'll panic and it'll be backs to the wall all the way to the end.

Such is the predominant pattern of my recent experience.

Better.

[Liam]

[Colly]

Love Deuce. Come on Fulham!

[Liam]

Looking back, probably an own goal.

[brenchill]

Really kicking myself right now.

I was going to stick some money on Fulham/Chelsea, Villa/Stoke and Blues/West Ham ending in a draw.

[stokeriño]

Meh. Such is the standard of Chelsea this season,

[Lineker]

Martin Jol will always be a Yid
