"When Liverpool beats Arsenal, I'm upset." - The Other Teams Thread

its the English media desperate to be #1 or have the best at something. It would be funny if it werent sad.

 

There are too many newspapers in England. Its like New York on steroids - every muppet has to write about something.

 

finds new respect for yoss

 

my ringtone currently.

 

Where is my mind?

Was at a bar last night and put some Pixies on the jukebox after reading Billy's post about Fight Club.

 

the problem is it is impossible to get a true random sample with current polling methods. Most surveys done today have inherent biases built in. Example: they use a telephone and CALL your HOUSE. Most people under the age of 35 and without kids and aren't a homeowner don't even have a land line anymore, but they still vote and overwhelmingly for Obama in the past 2 elections. Their opinions would not be reflected in any telephone survey. With a telephone survey, old people who watch Fox News will be overrepresented in your "random" sample. Ditto for any form of mail survey. Online surveys are even more useless when a random sample is needed. Door-to-door or street walking might be the only way to get a random sample these days, but even then many young women would never open the door to a stranger if they were home alone so there goes that.

Anyway, WTF happened to this thread? How'd we get on the election polls?

 

the pixies, obviously. f**k fight club

 

dirty bale caught YET AGAIN trying to cheat.

 

And the commentators stuck up for him.

 

defoe had an even more obvious dive but either the ref didn't see it or let it go.

 

Fergie defends outburst, rips Pardew and Newcastle.

Can anybody believe this guy? What a freaking baby. Talk about first world problems.

 

against Villa on Wednesday the announcer, I forget who, dropped the bullshit, "he moves so fast that he falls over to avoid contact so he doesnt get seriously hurt. Its not diving."

he is absolutely the worst. He most of the 2nd half berating the official.

 

Aston Villa have been outscored 14-0 so far during this Christmas period. WTF

 

When you field a reserve side, that'll happen.

 

that reserve side won at Anfield 14 days ago, lol.

 

Indeed

 

When you go to Anfield, that'll happen.

 

Some high scoring today, shocked by the Norwish/Man Shitty scoreline especially.

 

the last 2 seasons have been high scoring, no one can defend anymore in the premiership.

 

Van Persie with a great strike to secure 3 pts for Man U today...

...good thing we got a hefty sum of 24 mil for him...

 

Kun Aguero just took a minute to walk off the pitch.

 

Mad respect for Norwich though. They've been a great addition to the league.

 

that's exactly the excuse avb gave (or very close to it, though i think avb said he goes down after any kind of touch), so was he just repeating it or was that the commentators own opinion? (it's total nonsense btw)
niall quinn said it today, but made it clear that was avb's excuse.

edit: fs, bale on saying he didn't dive. if he's touched it's a foul...er.....no, it isn't, monkey boy.
what's worse is avb whinging and backing him instead of telling him to stop fkn diving!
