Whilst we're talking about Englishmen, here is praise for some of the England dudes, Adam Johnson and Crouchie (well, I would) for their performances this weekend , as well as criticism of Karl Henry for his horror lunge on Saturday and the fair play rankings so far
How awesome is Adam Johnson?? He's had to make a name for himself at Manchester City, no easy feat by any stretch of the imagination, and manages to be the very definition of the word "super-sub".
Peterpoo =) =) I would have liked him to have not been so failtastic in front of goal and score a couple himself, but it's nice to see him having some input :))) ngl, when I first heard Van der Vaart was joining Spurs, I just fretted that he'd slip lower down in the pecking order, assuming VDV to be an obvious starter in their new 4-4-1-1 system, and Crouch to get fewer starts. But it's nice to see the two gelling. Pride for my beautiful robot <3
Now, onto something considerablly more sour, Karl Henry's lunge (and second red of the season already) bungs Wolves at the top of the foul play league:
And, staying with The Guardian, selected interesting post-match comments from Arsene Wenger:
Heheheh :p
So anyway. I'm putting this out there -- which was worse; De Jong's double-leg breaker, or Karl Henry's lunge?
(er. poll function failing for me. fail.) I don't wanna hear from anyone "he's just not that type of player"!!! :-p

Date: 2010-10-04 01:56 pm (UTC)If it weren't for Drogba's fine ass, Czech's fantastic goalkeeper skills and that amazing shot from Alex from yesterday's game, then I'd totally hate on you.
BUT LET'S JUST SAY THAT I'M FRUSTRATED THAT YOU GUYS STARTED OFF SO WELL IN THE NEW SEASON AND MANUNITED IS JUST LIKE DOING DRAWS AND SHIT AND BERBATOV IS MY ONLY HOPE RIGHT NOW DUNNO. ;___;
