LOL a few Spud fans having a right go at Chris Hoy, not Foy for giving the game to Stoke yesterday on Twitter

Geezus how stupid can you be to get the names mixed up

Biz.Kid09 · 12 Dec 2011 at 18:08

Apparently Balotelli has signed up to record label YMCMB which produces music for Lil Wayne, Birdman and Drake etc.
Apparently he will star in the videos!

Andre Santos out for 3 mths due to tearing some ankle ligaments, so hes having surgery to repair it...great our injury prone squad are now starting to fall..

Whose next?? RVP and Vermaelen??

On the plus side, Chamakh wants to leave.

Yep and he can take that useless russian, Arshavin with him too

Key thing really is getting Sagna back, Vermaelen is the best LB in the squad so we can cope without Gibbs and Santos but that means playing Djourou at RB when Sagna and Jenkinson are both injured.

I'd go so far as to say Arsenal are arguably as at risk from injuries as they have been for ages, given the importance of RvP, Vermaelen and Chesney to the team this season coupled with the relative lack of cover (i.e. the ineffectiveness of Chamakh, Djourou, Fabianski, Mannone etc).

Stewy · 12 Dec 2011 at 21:05

and playing Vermaelan at LB would be such a waste considering he's one of the best CBs in the league.

I see Liverpool aren't sure when Gerrard will return from injury. Can't they just look in the fixtures for their next game against us?

Why, we don't play you first game after xmas do we?

(my prediction, at least)

Sub appearance against Blackburn on the 26th and Newcastle on the 30th, and then his first start will be City on the 3rd of January.

There's even an outside chance he might be on the bench vs Wigan on the 21st; he'd have been back in training for 13 days by the time that game comes around.

Isn't that the second time Balotelli has been involved in a training ground ruck?

No,

v Boateng

v Kolarov

v Richards

v Kompany

EDIT: Baz is right, it was Kompany not Adebayor.

BaZ87 · 15 Dec 2011 at 18:08

At least the 2nd. There was the Boateng incident and iirc there was at least one other reported fight (with Toure iirc).

edit: there you go, it's his 5th

edit2: the other incident I was thinking about was with Kompany actually, not Toure.

TalkSport saying there source inside the Suarez trial is indicating he faces a 16 game ban

:/ what a joke

For being convicted of racism in a sport/game.

No it's not a joke, should be thrown out of the league if he has been found guilty. It's simply unacceptable.

Whether or not he's guilty, is your opinion, but unlike a trial, you have very little factual evidence to back up your conclusion.

Lol, amazing, that's doubled since the last sensationalist twitter report I read 5 minutes ago. I presume TalkSports phones are ringing off the hook with irate Liverpool fans? Job done.

Pigeon_Killer · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:17

Of course he'll be banned. The FA need to show they'll come down hard on racism which'll give them the perfect opportunity to let Terry off

Alpherah · 16 Dec 2011 at 16:41

Pretty obvious TS were talking crap it seems, no other mention anywhere

BaZ87 · 16 Dec 2011 at 18:47

The FA have announced that there will be no decision until Tuesday at the earliest :/
