The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Guest mr. potato head]

So close Ben Arfa!

[Hobo]

When Liverpool weren't shit?

We were pretty shit in the mid 90s to be fair.

[Cymbols]

Or he'll decide there may be some hope for Mcleish and that doing the multi-million pound pay off thing and having to look for a new manager may just not be worth it.

Or that.

City bringing on Dzeko for Tevez here to get an all-important goal...

[Crybaby Bunting]

I'm so conflicted :/ I wanted Man City to win the title because I assumed we'd eventually crack with the next few games and I like to see a different title winner once in a while

But then we beat Chelsea and just (potentially) need one goal to be above Arsenal.

I just... don't understand how we could have managed to beat Chelsea, compete with City AND SEEN CHELSEA, ARSENAL AND SPURS COLLAPSE

[Lineker]

YAYA TOURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

YES MAN CITY! Thankyouuuuuuuuu. We don't seem capable of taking care of our own business ourselves.

[Liam]

Beautiful finish.

Glad it was him also, top player.

[Cheeky Hughes]

The script was written for either Yaya or De Jong to score. Come on!

[Mad Jack]

Shit.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I feel like I tempted fate

[Thrilla]

I love the BBC live text just for stuff like this.

14:57

Stuarty Meyer on Twitter: "De Jong for Nasri? Does Mancini know they need to win, not draw?"

Travis on Twitter: "De Jong on for Nasri? What? Adam Johnson usually performs against tiring teams. Get him on!"

GOAL Newcastle 0-1 Manchester City - Yaya Toure

----

Yeah, fuck you guys on Twitter.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Stamp on the hand there.

[Lineker]

Newcastle react by bringing on Shane Ferguson and Shola Ameobi on for James Perch and Hatem Ben Arfa.

[Lineker]

How did Aguero miss that!! Hope they don't live to regret that...

[Mad Jack]

Hope they do.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Stupid streaming guy just bumped Villa/Spurs for Newcastle/Man City.

[Cymbols]

I can't watch the Villa game. I'm too nervous.

[Hobo]

People don't always get the reasons behind things, yesterday I heard people bemoan that Liverpool players could not get by what was good Chelsea defending.

[Lineker]

Red card for Danny Rose. Ugh....

The Tottenham midfielder is red carded for a horror tackle on former Spurs player Alan Hutton. The Spurs man goes in two-footed and catches Hutton midway up his shin. It's very, very ugly and deserves his dismissal. Hutton is lucky if he hasn's broken his leg here.
