Radiogagger Premier League Team of the week(end) March 29/30th 2014

Football Funnies - March 22/23rd 2014

Chelsea 6 Arsenal 0
Chelsea 3-0 up in twenty minutes. Everything they touch turns to goals.

Bad mistake by Andre Marriner. He's off the Christmas Card list of Arsene Wenger, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain AND Kieran Gibbs

So Oxlade-Chamberlain handles the ball, and Gibbs gets sent off. What I've learnt from this incident is that Andre Marriner can't handle the Premier League.

"Andre Marriner (and his team) had a terrible day" This is not news. I called him the worst ref in league 2 back in 2004/5 after his second ever league game - Mansfield v Leyton Orient.

If Andre Marriner can't tell difference between Oxlade-Chamberlain & Gibbs, we should see how he likes it, start calling him Chris Foy or Mark Clattenburg.

Knowing Andre Marriner, if he planned to go to Specsavers, he'd actually turn up at Vision Express instead

Coming soon Andre Marriner's 100 Worst Refereeing Decisions' 2004-2014 presented by Jimmy Carr

Good thing Wenger has another 1,000 games to sort his defence out, and finally get that win against Mourinho #unsackable

Cardiff 3 Liverpool 6
2-2 at half-time but Liverpool run riot in second half. Everything they touch turns to goals.

A Suarez hat-trick, plus 2 from Skrytl and one from Sturridge.
Suarez has 28 from 30 league games - the most EVER in the Premier League after 30 games. If he can keep this up, and not get banned for bitting anyone he could break the all-time season record.

So hows that 'sack Malkay Mackay and bring in Ole Gunnar Scholskar' turning out for Vincent Tann?

Man City 5 Fulham 0 
Congratulations to Fulham, 3 managers, 2 coaches, a partridge in a pear-tree and the first team to be relegated from the Premier League.

Four for Man City in the second half. Everything they touch turns to goals.

Neither Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea will admit they're favourites for the Premier League, so that makes Arsenal odd-on by default

Everton 3 Swansea 2
Has anyone noticed how you never see Gary Monk #swansea and Ricky Wilson #TheVoiceUK in the same room?

12 penalties out of 12 for Leighton Baines in the Premier League. Can he take all five for England in the World Cup this summer? Is it too late to sign to nationalise Yaya Toure?

Has Angel Rangel ever met Gary and Phil Neville's brother Evill Neville?

Hull CIty 2 West Brom 0
So West Brom should never have sold their main striker to Hull in the transfer window, is about the long and the short of it

Newcassle' 1 Crystal Palace 0 (Papa Cisse 90+4)
Papa Cisse, Pardew & Carver, Crystal Palace, hmmm hmmm mmmm, you've gotta have a system...

Is Alan Pardew stadium ban just for Newcassle matches, or can he scout other teams?
He could have gone to Exeter v Fleetwood at the other St James Park.
And oddly enough, Fleetwood play at (the other) Highbury.


Norwich 2 Sunderland 0
Important goal from Snodgrass for Norwich against Sunderland. Lucky for him rejecting Orient back in 2007/8 didn't affect his career


West Ham 0 Man United 2
'Rooney lobs Adrian from the half-way line' doesn't sound as impressive as 'Nayim lobs Seaman' About par with 'Beckham lobs Sullivan'

Last night #MOTD asked which goal from half-way line was better, Beckham or Rooney. No mention of Dean Cox at Walsall?! (last season)

Great assist from noble for Rooney's second goal. Rooney on 300k a week, Noble not even on the payroll. Just good ole' east end hospitality

Russel Brand on Match of The Day? Not a lot of people know, but he used to edit a west ham fanzine called 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles Wubbles'

Russel Brand brought in to analyse on the Rooney v Beckham half-way line goals for his authority on hair styles and cuts.

Tottenham 3 Southampton 2
Tottenham recover from 2 down to beat Southampton 3-2. After the match Sherwood told press 'anything MK Dons can do, we can do better

Tottenham trailing 0-2, so Tim Sherwood comes down to the bench from his seat in the stands to sort mess out. And make Pardew jealous

Its now Tottenham Desmond Southampton Tutu. Tim has gone back to his seat in the stand. Doesn't know whether he's coming or going

Tottenham (English coach) 3 Southampton (English players) 2 
well if Levy does give Sherwood the push, he deserves a role with Hodgson.

Christian Eriksen revealed manager Tim Sherwood's half-time team talk inspired Spurs to a 3-2 victory over Southampton "Never on the football field of human conflict'...

Tottenham are the zen masters of the Premier League, zero goal difference. Man City are +49, Fulham are minus 40

Are the new fixtures out yet - When is Tim's 1,000th match in charge of #thfc? Is it the early kick-off against Chelsea at the Bridge?

Aston Villa 1 Stoke City 4
bit of a shock result after Villa beat Chelsea last week, mind you they were without Chris Foy today

Mark Hughes says Peter Crouch should get recall to England squad. To be fair he needs a transfer to Southampton to be in with a shout

Aston Villa raise their game against top 4, but fail against lower or same level teams. The exact opposite of Arsenal & Tottenham

Football Funnies - March 15/16th 2014

The Professor Peter ‏@radiogagger  Mar 15

It's so tough down at the bottom of the Premier League, there are actually six teams in the bottom three.

Hull 0 Man City 2

Good goal from David De Silva, returning from his winter mid season goal break.

Gold medal for Silva?

Who keeps Kompany company during his (presumably) three match ban?.

I suppose he could hang out with Alan Pardew..

Aston Villa 1 Chelsea 0

Willian sent off. He had to leave early anyway, to get back for #thevoiceuk battle rounds on BBC1.

Fabulous finish fabian!

Delightful dribbling Delph!

Mourinho has blamed Chris Foy for defeat and the two sendings-off. He said Foy should give up refereeing and stick to the Olympic Cycling.

Mourinho Willian and Eamires all sent off. 

So now we know who keeps Kompany company. Along with pardew.

Swansea 1 West Bromwich 2

If Swansea AND Cardiff get relegated, The Welsh Premier League will be REALLY interesting next season.

Savage summarising tonight. Well the BBC will insist on employing Robbie.

Well done WBA under pressure manager Pepe Mel on win at Swansea. Still looking for first win in England though.

Everton 2 Cardiff 1

Inspired goalkeeping from Marshall for Cardiff. Marshall marshalling the troops. Or not as case may be, in 90th minute.

"That's the margins innit?" Nice bit of cockney from olly gunnar... I thought he was from Manchester?

Southampton (aka England B) 4 Norwich 2

Roy Hodgson gave four Saints players their England debut this season. He's waiting for the saints job full time. He might be better sending Delia his cv

How comes the Saints manager has a translator, but none for Rickie Lambert?

Stoke 3 West Ham 1

"a welcome mid-table look to the match between stoke and west ham" Try telling the fans that gary.

Early goal for Andy Carroll, still trying to force his way into the England squad for the permanently injured spot.

That Odemwingie goal/tap-in was worth driving all the way from QPR for.

And Odemwingie's second was worth driving through the night for.

Fulham 1 Newcassle' 0

I thought Alan Pardew might go shopping in harrods during the Fulham v Newcastle match

Cruel for krul.

Felix Magath's new glasses made a winning debut today. Hard to see a way back for the old glasses. Lasted even less than rene rene.

Sunderland 0 Crystal Palace 0

He's hit the woodwork! A normal night out in sunderland, to be fair

The only Premier League game of the weekend to finish goalless. Actually kicked off 3pm saturday and were still playing sunday morning without troubling the scorers.

Manchester Disunited 0 Liverpool 3

Two out of three penalties scored by Gerrard. Two out of three ain't bad.

Gerrard unlucky not to follow in footsteps of Jan Molby and score a hat-trick of penalties. Still time for a drink driving jail sentence tho..

Things are getting so bad for Manchester United, rumours are that the Glazers will sell to Vincent Tann and change to a blue kit

After 2-2 draw with Fulham on 9th Feb, Moyes said that was as bad as it gets. He was wrong... Olympiakos and then Liverpool.

Rooney said defeat at home to Liverpool one of his worst days in football. Well, second only to signing that new contract maybe..

Liverpool normally rely on the SAS to get the goals. Today they stepped up/on the GAS.

United were in reverse and showing a bad SAG.

Who'd have thought when the Grumpy Old Scot left, United would fall apart. They need to sign Troy or Dynamo, to bring back the magic.

NORTH LONDON DERBY

Tottenham 0 Arsenal 1

I think spurs are missing the 'el' inbetween the hp on their shirts

I heard Theo has taken an extra big wallet today to catch all the coins.

On the plus side for spurs if they keep 75% possession for rest of game they can restrict arsenal to 1-0

BREAKING NEWS: Jermain Defoe has scored twice on his debut in the North Canadian Derby.

Rosicky always scores on the big occasions. #NorthLondonDerby #nld 

Fa cup 3rd round v spurs. Facup 5th rd v Orient at Brisbane Road

Tim Sherwood's been a manager for 5 minutes, already showing the anger management issues of Alan Pardew. Fast learner.

Tim should be careful though, throwing balls at players. He hasn't got the security of an 8 year contract like Pardew #spursdaynights 

Tottenham need another £100m rebuild in the summer. 

Gary Lineker better forget Sports Relief and start #Spursrelief

Don't forget... You saw them first on twitter!

Man United 2 Tottenham Hotspur 0
Harry Redknapp had threatened to stop speaking to the media if he's fined for his outburst at referee Mark Clattenburg for Nani's controversial second goal.
Happy Harry lost for words?? I'm temporarily lost for words myself about that.



Tottenham 3 Inter Milan 1

Another inspired performance from Gareth Bale saw Spurs turn the European Champions into the 'Chumpions'.
If only Rafa Benitez had concentrated on putting a dossier together on Bale instead of Roy Hodgeson, he might have got something from this game...



Bolton 4 Tottenham Hotspur 2
Tottenham were brought down to earth by Kevin Davies and co in their return to premier league football
I thought the Lord Mayors Show was THIS Saturday (13th) in London, not last week at the Reebok??

Shakhtar Donuts 2 Arsenal 1
Arsene Wenger has appealed the result as both goals were scored by Arsenal connections  - an own goal by Craig Eastmond and former Highbury hero Edu.


ARSENE PLAYING AWAY IN EUROPE
Weekend newspapers were full of stories about the Arsenal manager romancing a younger woman in France
Wenger refused to comment on the story, the reason being he didn't see the article's...



ARSENAL 0 NEWCASTLE 1
Newcastle gained revenge for their recent 4-0 defeat in the Carling Cup with this win at the Emirates.
Newcastle won in London?? The same Newcastle that lost 6-1 at Brisbane Road recently??...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 


CHELSEA 4 BAYERN MUNICH 0
This reserve team match was notable for assistant manager Ray Wilkins being SACKED at half-time...
HALF TIME?? Have Chelsea taken John Sitton on as coaching consultant??

Frankly Speaking
Frank Lampard is expected to be out for another two weeks after initially hoping to be back against Liverpool.
He's not actually fit, but he might return earlier, just to get out of the house and listening to Christine Bleakley going on about how bad the DAYBREAK viewing figures are...


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Wolves 2 Man City 1
Kolo Toure - £220,000 a week and he's allowed to go home at half-time to beat the traffic -
imagine his salary if he stayed for the whole game.

Reinforcements Needed At Anfield
Now the ownership problems are resolved, manager Roy Hodgeson needs to sign some strikers to give him back up, rather than playing Babel and Kuyt out of position.
What are Robbie Fowler and Ian Rush upto nowadays? (don't mention Emile Heskey or Michael Ow..)


BRUM DERBY DEAL
An Aston Villa fan was thrown out of the game v Birmingham for heading the ball back into play.
THROWN OUT?! On current form Gerrard Houllier should have put him in the first team (instead of Emile Heskey?)

EDGAR AND OUT
Edgar Davids has left Crystal Palace after featuring in just 7 games since joining the South Londoners.
He obviously wasn't looking forward to playing in League One next season...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
AND FINALLY - Thought Of The Day...
It's time to bite the bullet, we already lost the services of Ryan Giggs, if we merge the England and Wales football team like we have done with the cricket, then we get Gareth Bale wearing the THREE LIONS (or Dragons, as long as he's on our side)

Enjoy the Game

Someone has to do the predictions, now Paul The Octopus has gone! RIP Paul The Octopus...


Paul The Octopus passed away after his summer of glory, predicting 8 World Cup results in a row...
The joke doing the rounds this week was "he didn't see that coming"
On the contrary, he asked for his headstone to mirror Spike Milligans 'I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL'


IF THEY ALL WIN YOU OWE ME ONE
And just for fun... The new Tipster service to replace the Paul..  Eight In A Row...
Arsenal, Fulham, Rangers, Huddersfield, Wycombe, QPR, Ipswich and (Sunday) Aston Villa.

Europe

Anything Roo Can Do, Ronny Wants Better (Bank On It)

Christiano Ronaldo found form in a weekend spanish league encounter with 4 goals in the 6-1 rout of Racing Santander.

But how long before his name is linked with a transfer window move to Man City, so his salary can also be hiked up by £100,000 a week?

PSV Eindhoven 10 Feyenoord 0
An embarrassing defeat for former European Cup Winners Feyenoord. Coach Mario Bean said "it was a glum day and because I'm in charge, I feel responsible"

I'm pretty sure the owners will also find him responsible, and pretty soon 'Been' 'Will be 'gone'.

TONY MOWBRAY APPOINTED MIDDLESBROUGH MANAGER
Tony Mowbray told the press conference he aims to get his home town club into the Champions League in '3 to 4 years'

Has The Champions League been expanded to include the Top 40 English sides? Blimey, even Crystal Palace will be in...

Credit to the Stoke fans for their banterous chants in Sundays game against United.

2."you've been robbed by a Scouser"

1."Rooney's right your team is ****".

Perhaps we should get Stoke fans to write our next Eurovision entry with Justin Lee Collins...

Will Sir Rolex start talking to the BBC again, to save the possible £25,000 per game fine (by the Premier League) towards Rooneys wages?
 

Letters of Complaint to Nostradamus c/o The Mail On Sunday
Piers Morgan uses his sunday newspaper column to say Alex Fergusons days at Old Trafford are numbered after the Rooney transfer debacle.
That's a bold statement from The Arsenal biased supporting journo on a football manager who is nearly 70 years old...

If Sir Alex Ferguson cuts out travelling to pointless friendlies, Champions League Away ties and Scunthorpe, he could easily manage Man United until he is 101.

I wonder if the next step will be the paint the grass red so the players will see each other?
What Would Rafa Benitez Say? (Or Guarantee)

Well done to West brom. Their win over Harrods Green Fulham, followed by win at Arsenal and point at Old Trafford saw them take fourth spot in the Premiership,

on course for a Champions League qualifer away to Braga next August.

They shouldn't be complacent however. In two weeks time if West Brom slip up, the top Four Could easily be Chelsea, Sunderland, Bolton and Newcastle.

That's all  until the weekend

YOUR 'AVING A LAUGH

What a week, an England footballer caught up in scandal, an England footballer injured on the pitch, an England manager steps down to spend more time as a pensioner, and an old favourite (punchline) as an old favourite returns to the premiership, or whatever it's called by the marketing people. Hold on to your seats.. Trigger

ROONEY PAYS £1,200 A NIGHT FOR PROSTITUTE

The News of The World and Sunday Mirror took a break from Cricket scandals to tell the story of Rooney 'playing away' while his wife was pregnant

I wonder what will run out first, his good looks, his money or his luck?

SWITZERLAND 1 ENGLAND 3

On the bright side, Rooney is still a vital part of the England team, and importantly a team player.

Unlike John Terry, he didn't sleep with a team-mates bird.

What Next for Rooney?

Dropped by Sir Alex on saturday for Man United's trip to his old team Everton at Goodison Park, Roo will return for the Champions League stroll v Rangers

Oh well, at least it left him free on Saturday to burn all copies of the News Of The World with Pastor Terry Jones.

England 4 Bulgaria 0

England started 2012 qualifying comfortably thanks to Jermain Defoes hat-trick, but he now faces 3 months out after picking up an injury in Swtizerland

I suppose he wanted to spend the last few days of Big Brother in front of the telly, after picking up so many birds from the programme over the years

Switzerland 1 England 3

England ended the match in Basle with 6 Man City players on the pitch, the first time since 2001 one club had provided 6 of the England 11.

They still have a way to go to match Corinthian Casuals who supplied all 11 players for Englnd v Wales in 1894 AND 1895.

Given Man City's current cash flow, it's probably the ONLY time they'll ever be compared to the noble amateurs of Corinthian Casuals.

Thank You For The Day

England's qualifiers got off to the unusual Friday/Tuesday combination, after years (decades even) of playing Saturday/Wednesdays back to back internationals.

I suppose it gives the players an extra day to spend with prostitutes/other players birds/Big Brother contestants.

FABIO STEPS DOWN AFTER 2012 EURO's (TO SPEND EUROS)

Fabio Capello has announced that he will stand down as England manager after The 2012 Euro's to spend more time 'as a pensioner'

I know his English is not great, and he is well paid as England manager, but is he planning to spend more time with Wayne Rooney at £1,200 a night?

FABIO TO BE REPLACED BY ENGLISHMAN

It was well documented recently by a 'CLUB ENGLAND DIRECTOR' that the next England manager will be English.

Does that rule Mikel Arteta IN or OUT? At least it gives Martin O'Neil two years to apply for a British passport.

FABIO QUITS TO SPEND MORE TIME A PENSIONER

If England want to keep some continuity, they should choose Brucie

Not (Englishman) Steve Bruce, pensioner Bruce Forsyth.

GERRARD WHO?

Gerrard Houllier is back in English football as Aston Villa manager but not sure when he is available to take over due to serving notice from the French Football Federation.

Perhaps Glenn Hoddle, Gus Hiddink or Glynn Hodges could step in as caretaker GH. They wouldn't need to change the initials on the tracksuit.

THE BEST EXCUSE EVER FOR MISSING A MATCH

At the press conference that welcomed him as Villa manager, Gerrard stated he would not be available for the next match (tonight) against Stoke as he had meetings to attend in his role as Technical Director for the French Federation.

I have to say that is the best excuse I've heard from an actual manager of a team. I do know of a Leyton Orient fan who missed a rare Andy Harris goal (at Oxford) for a dentist appointment but the closest he gets to picking the team is Championship Manager the PC game.

Until the next time

Fwd: They Think It's All Football January 24th 2009

*** Putting *** the *** ffff... fun *** into *** Football ***


Urgent Help needed:
If you find Robinho, please send him back to Manchester (or Brazil or Chelsea)

Money Money Money
Kaka's current deal with AC Milan gives him a guaranteed million pound pay-rise a year for the duration of his contract.
With Man City sniffing around, they'll have to offer him a million pay rise every six weeks...

So Man City wanted Kaka and got Craig Bellamy.
Now that's what I call being affected by the credit crunch.


Thought(s) of The Day?
If Man City go bankrupt will the Government bail them out?
Was the Kaka transfer a smoke screen so City fans didn't complain about the signing of Craig Bellamy?

It's not realistic for City to expect Kaka to sign, even for £100 Million.
For about £200,000 they might just get Ulrikakakaka, and the good news is she's already been scouted(sic) by their previous manager Sven...


Now the player the clubs with the cash are after is Wilson Picket from Wigan.
Harry Redknapp has the sweetest feeling about him.

The Carling Cup...
After Spurs 4-1 win at White Hart Lane in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final, Harry Redknapp said if we can't go there (ie a Championship side) and defend a 3 goal lead there is something wrong with this club.
Full Time score Burnley 3 Tottenham Hotspur 0 (Spurs scored two late goals in extra time)
I wonder if Harry will be learning Spanish and checking the Madrid job centre vacancies in the near future...


More Lilywhite Woe...
After Spurs 1-1 draw with Portsmouth Harry Redknapp said his wife Sandra could have scored the chance that Darren Bent missed. After Spurs 3-2 defeat after extra time at Burnley (salvaged from 0-3 down with 3 minutes of extra time left) a text to 606 on 5live stated
"My wife Sandra could manage that team better than Harry Redknapp - And that text is from D.Bent"


Only Tottenham... could win the first leg of a semi-final at home 4-1 (half-way in the tie) and go to a championship side and lose 3-0 and face going out on away goals, before scoring 2 goals in the last two minutes of extra-time.

Only Tottenham... could play Kevin Keegan's Man City in the FA Cup at White Hart Lane, be leading 3-0 at half-time (King 2 Keane 19 Ziege 43)
and lose 3-4 (Distin 48 Bosvelt 61 Wright-Philips 80 Macken 90) at full-time.

Only Tottenham... could play Manchester United in a league match at White Hart Lane, lead 3-0 at half-time, (Richards 15, Ferdinand 25 Ziege 45)
and lose 3-5 (Cole 46 Blanc 58 Van Nistleroy 72 Veron 76 Beckham 87) at full time
It's not new players Spurs need. It's new scriptwriters...


Thought of The Day
Do Tottenham always lose when Christian Ziege puts them 3-0 up?
Do any fans leave early when Tottenham go 3-0 up on a team from Lancashire?


So the first silverware of the domestic season will be won (and lost) with the Carling Cup Final at Wembley on March 1st between Holders Tottenham and Man United...
Any chance Spurs reserve goalkeeper Ben Alnwick (his first game for Spurs this season after a loan spell at Carlisle) will keep his place for the final?

Transfer Window Special

*** Putting *** the *** ffff... fun *** into *** Football ***

Manchester City (that's the one in blue) are prepared to pay £100 million for Brazillian ace Kaka.
Couldn't they buy the whole of Brazil for £100 million?

Spurs have resigned Jermaine Defoe, paying £15 million for him, a year
after selling him for £9 million.
Expect Robbie Keane to arrive back at the Lane in July for £26 million...

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has attempted to pull off the transfer window coup of the season, with the signing of daughter-in-law Louise Redknapp.
Canny Harry reckons the former FHM Sexiest Women In The World Winner taking to the pitch every fortnight (mainly sundays) is the only way spurs will fill their new 60,000 planned seater stadium every week.

Tottenham have also been linked with a move for Stewart Downing for 15 million from Middlesbrough.
Down down deeper and down... (Bent, Bentley and Bendtner??)

According to the sun newspaper Rochdale are the first club in the UK to serve kebab inside the ground.
The club denied speculation they will be attempting to sign Colin Kazim Richards, Tugay and Tuncay, (from Fenerbahce, Blackburn and Middlesbrough) in the transfer window...

Contract talks between Manchester United and Carlos Tevez have turned ugly...
No, hang on a minute, that's just a photo of Carlos Tevez...


Jermaine Pennant has priced himself out of a dream move to Real Madrid by asking for too much wages...
Perhaps he was concerned his ankle tag wouldn't work in Spain...


Thought of the Day
If Tony Adams gets the sack at Portsmouth, will he have more time to help Gazza kick the booze?

Fug on the tyne...
Shay Givens solicitor says the Newcastle goalkeeper would like to move to a different club.
Joe Kinnear says this is not true.
Actually Joe Kinnear is thinking f*****g B*****d c**t. **** **** a**o b*****ks

They Think It's All Football December 30th 2008

*** Putting *** the *** ffff... fun *** into *** Football ***


What Goes Around Comes Around...
Alex Ferguson says he won't be selling 'a virus' to that mob (Real Madrid) after the media again reported they are after Christian Ronaldo when the January transfer window opens.
In the last summer, Real Madrid courted Ronaldo but Manchester United refused. In a similar line of events, Man United courted Dimi Berbatov, and finally got their man on the final day of the transfer window, with
Fergie himself picking up Berbatov from the airport and giving him a tour of the training ground.
This left spurs without time to sign a replacement (although they knew for months that Berbatov was on Sir Alex's radar) and subsequently had a bad start to the season which led to the manager, Juan Ramos, being
sacked.
Juan Ramos is now back in Spain, at... Real Madrid... preparing for the next transfer window bid for Ronaldo... NICE...


Been Around The World And Aye Aye AyeManchester United fell further fixtures behind in the Premier League while competing in the World Club Championship in Yokohama, Japan.
On the plus side, their loyal fanbase in Tokyo only had half an hour
to travel to see their heroes in action... 

Manchester United defeated LD Quito from Ecudor 1-0 in the FIFA World Club Cup Final in Yokohama, Japan.
They will now wait for the Inter Planet championship on Mars but face criticism in England for missing a league match at Fulham...
