Thread name up for selling rights - OTT 35 [R]

Because, there are wayyyy too many open electronic publishing sites available to every twerp with a keyboard these days.... and so, more and more, are we likely to encounter rubbish. Even on big mainstream websites like MSN there'll be links to extremely shoddy, and often downright wrong, filler type articles, with outlandish statement, written about some thing somewhere in the world by some blogger who happens to live half a world away and doesn't really have a clue what it is they are writing about. The problem, as I see it, is that the publishing community used to be tight knit and developed from within (yes, I know, this meant a kind of super-exclusivity and etc) but it would develop and suckle and come to rely on, alert editing and fact checking, and its own generally well finished product; but the "industry" (if you want to call it that) is now so vast there simply isn't the capacity for this type of rigid scrutiny and ongoing, controlled development, anymore.
Anyway, in a world filled with the wank expertisms (yes, not a word) of twitter, what else is to be expected?

 

This just made my day.

Good we got our game and result out of the way. Too bad we're no longer in the mix for top as Crystal Palace did what it does best-- derail championship tilts. I can't help laughing at Man U-- one of my assistant headteachers is an ardent Man U supporter who called Mourrinho's bus-parking at Anfield a tactical masterclass) and tomorrow will make for some genuinely good banter.

 

Sh!tcoat is losing it. He had a real go at the BBC for suggesting WBA and Man U cancelled each other.

 

100%.

 

Excellent result between the oil sheiks teams. As Le Arse and City share a point each. Looks like we were the only team of the top group to get 3 points.

Oh yeah, spuds won yesterday didnt they.

 

Kane is supposed to miss one match, mebbe two, but Wanayamaramalamadingdong is out indefinitely.

 

Hmmm - don't know why Klopp soured on him but Sakho appears to have hit the ground running at CP - "Now Crystal Palace are feeling the benefits of Allardyce’s canny transfer work. Mamadou Sakho, on loan from Liverpool, has been superb in the middle of defence"

 

That's what I thought as well- average. The same weaknesses he showed at Liverpool were on show here but either Hennessy was brilliant or the chavs were woeful.

I've always thought that the key difference between top defenders and decent ones (as with goalkeepers) is that they can go for a long time without doing anything but must stay switched on in the event of that one break. Whereas, if you're repeatedly blocking, tackling or heading away in a defensively set-up team, you appear as if you're having a blinder and get excused the one that gets away.

 

88 million per point.

 

What's that in barrels?

Wait, I'll tell ya -- 1.64 million barrels, June delivery.

 

Barrels - full of single malt Scotch I trust?

 

I read an article that Souey was over critical of Rooney due to his worst season since he started his professional career.....it's obviously the effects of starting playing professional football at such a young age decreases the longevity of the career.... at 31, and the type of player Rooney i's, one would have assumed he could play at a high level until his late 30s....it's the burnout

 

Nah. Erl

 

Yet the gutter press/pundits/expros love Mourinho and will most likely give him time to 'turn it around'

 

Old Crapford is a tomb and the bitters lead the scum on a hilarious goal.

 

After Ibrahimovic had missed a good chance.
