Anton and Terry to shake hands?

[Cripps_orig]

Senior officials from Chelsea and QPR are in talks to defuse the growing tension surrounding Saturday's west London derby at Loftus Road.
QPR defender Anton Ferdinand will meet with manager Mark Hughes on Thursday having indicated he will not shake John Terry's hand before the match.
In July, the Chelsea captain was acquitted of racially abusing Ferdinand in last season's corresponding fixture.
Terry is still facing a separate FA charge, which he denies.
Ferdinand is also understood to be considering avoiding Ashley Cole in any pre-match line-up after the Chelsea defender testified as a character witness for Terry at the trial in July.
While the Premier League is adamant the pre-match handshake should go ahead, senior figures have conceded it could be abandoned if one or both clubs request it in the interest of easing a highly charged situation. Neither club has contacted the Premier League asking to postpone the pre-match handshake yet, but both have spoken to the Metropolitan Police.
In July Terry was cleared at Westminster Magistrates' Court of racially abusing Ferdinand during the Premier League game between the West London sides. It was alleged Terry had insulted Ferdinand, describing him as "black" and using extreme sexual swear words.
But in reaching a not guilty verdict, chief magistrate Howard Riddle stated it was "possible that what was said was not intended as an insult but rather as a challenge to what he believed had been said to him".
The prosecution had to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Terry had used the words in an insulting manner, which it could not.
But the FA only has to prove its case "on the balance of probabilities".
Fabio Capello resigned as England manager in February after Terry was stripped of the captaincy because of the allegations.
Capello's successor Roy Hodgson included Terry in the squad that played at Euro 2012.

Might as well scrap the whole handshake thing

[Marc Overmars]

Ashley Cole. :lol:

Awful choc ice.

Lawro predicts a Liverpool loss :yikes:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh good, I thought we were playing Sunday.

And seeing as it's Lawro it'll probably be 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Winger Santi Cazorla is a real player.

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Lawro predicts a Liverpool loss :yikes:

Well that means they will win tbh.

[GP]

:lol:

Unless I can actually touch him I'll continue to believe he's a hologram.

[Cripps_orig]

Well that means they will win tbh.

Not really. Lawro is pretty good

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Anton and Terry to shake hands?

Well if him and bridge did not i doubt the will, or terry will even play, he's injured anyways.

[Cripps_orig]

Well if him and bridge did not i doubt the will, or terry will even play, he's injured anyways.

Hes not injured. He pulled out of the England game with a Cesc injury so he can miss this game with the same excuse

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hes not injured. He pulled out of the England game with a Cesc injury so he can miss this game with the same excuse

Maybe.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

The Premier League has confirmed that the pre-match handshake between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea on Saturday will go ahead as planned.
There were suggestions that the ritual could be scrapped due to concerns because of the anticipated meeting of Rs defender Anton Ferdinand (http://topics.skysports.com/Anton+Ferdinand/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Blues (http://topics.skysports.com/blues/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif skipper John Terry. (http://topics.skysports.com/John+Terry/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
England centre-back Terry was found not guilty of using a racial slur against Ferdinand in the corresponding fixture last October but remains the subject of a Football Association investigation, having denied all charges relating to the matter.Terry and team-mate Ashley Cole, (http://topics.skysports.com/Ashley+Cole/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif who was called as a witness in the court case, have recovered from the ankle injuries which restricted their involvement in England's recent World Cup qualifiers and are both expected to feature.
Ferdinand is fit to play after overcoming a shoulder problem and both clubs, who have appealed for calm from their supporters prior to the clash, have been informed that there will be no change to the usual rituals prior to kick-off.
The tradition was abandoned in advance of the previous two encounters between the clubs with court proceedings still pending, but the Premier League will not adopt that stance on this occasion.
Their statement read: "There has been dialogue between the Premier League, Queens Park Rangers (http://topics.skysports.com/Queens+Park+Rangers/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Chelsea (http://topics.skysports.com/chelsea/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in relation to tomorrow's match between the two clubs.
"All parties understand and acknowledge the pre-match handshake will go ahead as part of the normal pre-match activities."
Blues boss Roberto di Matteo insisted his players would have no problem shaking hands, while counterpart Mark Hughes (http://topics.skysports.com/Mark+Hughes/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif was more guarded but admitted they would be guided by the decision from the game's rulers.

Really this handshake rubbish, they really need to get rid off it tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Terry and Cole declared fit for Chelsea :popcorn:

RVC fit for Man****er United

Hope Caldwell takes him out for being the **** he was last season when RVC refused to shake hands

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odd to have all four Champions League teams all playing at 3pm. Should be fairly easy to work out what is happening at our game if streams aren't working. Just listen out for Le Tiss.

Football Focus is on. They are on location. At the Brittania :sick:

They only scored from lumping it up field, I think. It'll be their main tactic whatever Fat Sam says.

And I guess it was because of wind Crooks is doing that.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And I guess it was because of wind Crooks is doing that.
I noticed that on SSN; as he was going on about not being a long ball team, every clip they showed was a long ball :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get it in the mixer. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Hansen and Shearer will be on MOTD

Might watch it now

Also


Stoke striker Michael Owen on Football Focus: "We've (fellow forward Peter Crouch) played a couple of dozen games together (for England) and scored plenty of goals. As I've stressed, it'll be difficult to get into the Stoke team. It's about getting on the pitch and scoring goals. I'm not bothered about proving the doubters wrong."

All he did was talk about the doubters....id say he was bothered

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merse. :lol:

If only he knew more words he'd might actually make sense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diame nearly activated Beast Mode there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holt. :haha:

Obvious barge in to Demel.

Surman cuts inside, shot just goes wide of the far post.

Collins is terrible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs interview on Soccer Saturday now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin clears off the line! Taylor puts the next shot wide.

Norwich. :lol:

Bit lucky there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merse has seen Bergkamp, Henry and Vieira go to Stoke apparently. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Were people questioning Podolski? :blink:

Giroud maybe, but not Podolski...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ruddy saves from Nolan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Were people questioning Podolski? :blink:

Giroud maybe, but not Podolski...

Questioning him in the sense he is a foreigner not used to 'the pace of the Premier League'. :rolleyes:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Questioning him in the sense he is a foreigner not used to 'the pace of the Premier League'. :rolleyes:
Of course :doh:

He still needs time to adapt...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Collins. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich had good chances not long ago, Jussi saving from Holt, 'Ammers blocking, Jussi saving, blocking and then Jussi saving from Holt again.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holt curls it wide when not far out. :lol:

No idea how it is still 0-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure if that should be a pelanty or a freekick. Either way it was a ridiculous challenge by Collins again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson smashes it against his own man. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Silly match.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

"perspectivate" :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I noticed Merse again reiterated Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira, Ljungberg and Parlour never looked comfortable at the Britannia. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jackson absolutely thumps it, Jussi tips it over.

Collins again the nearest man. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson scuffs it, another save for Jussi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Taylor off, Jarvis on.
Cole off injured, Maiga on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible cross by Vaz Te. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And now Demel provides a similarly alwful cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No power on the header by Bassong, easy for Jussi to pluck it out the air.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jackson off, Morison on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nolan gave Snodgrass a good kicking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Buttner starts for Man Utd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morison goes for glory with the outside of his boot, over.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Weren't all 4 ridiculing the Fletcher signing because of the fee, not good enough and all that, now he's scored a couple it's an inspired buy who will definitely keep them up :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diame makes it a trio of woeful deliveries.

Holt hauled off, Kane on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weren't all 4 ridiculing the Fletcher signing because of the fee, not good enough and all that, now he's scored a couple it's an inspired buy who will definitely keep them up :rolleyes:

Yup, they were. Sunderland weren't in danger of going down anyway, not really any danger of getting in the top half either though probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sinclair, Javi Garcia and Maicon all start for Citeh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini on Peter Crouch's controversial goal for Stoke: "It was basketball - not football. I didn't see it at the time. But now I've seen a replay, it's incredible."

Oo a new feud for the Stoke fans to go mental over.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Stoke must get the most decisions going their way in the league. At home anyway. We're Stoke and we don't comp...er...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Refs get confused. They have to remember and apply rules for football, basketball and rugby.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor effort from Shelvey, decent move though.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Oo a new feud for the Stoke fans to go mental over.

:haha: Stoke a rugby team/Basketball team, wonder if TS and other shite media will call Mancini a moaner and bad loser too?

[Master Splinter]

Arouna Coney :bow:.

Merse :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alwful shot from Suarez, had a chance to play, well, a couple of players in actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini cross, deflected from Cuellar makes it easy for Mignolet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cuellar. :haha:

Terrible header back, Borini is in because of that but only blasts it at Mignolet.

[Marc Overmars]

Pulis says it's brilliant that Crouch got away with it, because it means a smaller club getting a decision against a big team. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm assuming every Liverpool player knew Larsson's freekick was going to curl wide...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Terrific free kick from Larsson.

Just wide.

Johnson definitely knew.... ahem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha: Stoke a rugby team/Basketball team, wonder if TS and other shite media will call Mancini a moaner and bad loser too?

Someone like Shearer might have a go at him, forgetting he always talks about sides that keep the ball down as 'playing in the right way'.

[Syn]

Pulis says it's brilliant that Crouch got away with it, because it means a smaller club getting a decision against a big team. :rolleyes:

:haha:

He's mentally ill. There's seriously something wrong with him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We Come Not To Play is such an odd slogan but then, possibly quite apt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shelvey easily dispossessed.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Decent save Mignolet.

Borini with the toe poke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini shoots, Mignolet saves.

[Master Splinter]

We're Stoke and we don't play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini did well to take that first time actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri was invisible today according to Bluemoon.

Nice turn from Johnson, don't think it was a dive but it wasn't a foul either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stevie Me. :lol:

And then he has a go at Sterling for not playing him the perfect ball to Hollywood it in!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nasri was invisible today according to Bluemoon.

Nice turn from Johnson, don't think it was a dive but it wasn't a foul either.

Not a shock tbh.

[Master Splinter]

Stoke striker Michael Owen on Twitter: "Great to make my debut today, albeit only for three minutes! Massive thanks to the Stoke fans - can't believe the reception I received."

I think they were baying for the rack of towel vests behind the dug-out.

Our red socks :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Don't bother tackling FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-0 Liverpool, Fletcher!

[Dennis Bendtner]

:haha:

He's mentally ill. There's seriously something wrong with him.

:haha:

It's genuine. It's barely worth responding to, but I remember when Sir Chris Hoy literally handed them the match on a plate against Spurs last season. Stoke have the refs in their pocket.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Looked a clear foul to me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bright doesn't think Sterling was fouled there. Er, ok. Freekick to Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deflected miles in to the stands.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez booked for diving. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Yep.

Definite dive.

Moron.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant block by Johnson, would've been 2-0 otherwise.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well, it still had to get past Rei.... yeah fair enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

I said Liverpool should have signed Fletcher.

Any pub-teamer who can get about twelve goals a season would be a good addition for them.

Sahin :lol:.

Rotting on the bench.

[Master Splinter]

Robbie Savage, BBC Radio 5 live

"Aston Villa have had a good win today, but they haven't beaten an Arsenal, a Manchester United or a Chelsea.

That's his argument for Villa going down.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

im sorry but johnson is the worst right back in the league.

yes even worse than jenkinson

shite at tackling and useless at marking

awful player

[Marc Overmars]

Sahin :lol:.

Rotting on the bench.

We definitely got one over them with Sahin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's his argument for Villa going down.

Villa are slightly unlucky to play those teams so many times this season.

:lol:

Shelvey goes for goal again, another weak strike.

[Master Splinter]

im sorry but johnson is the worst right back in the league.

yes even worse than jenkinson



The same GHELkinson who's been a part of a defence that's barely been troubled so far this season? Have you watched him play or do you just compile a highlight reel of the couple of misplaced passes he made against Liverpool?

His first job is defending and he's done that at a very good level so far in his Arsenal career. His all-round play improves game by game too. It's a bonus if he becomes the next Dani Alves.

Great cross from Johnson.

At left back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson smacks the bar, great effort!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And then smacks the bar. :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Jenkinson was shit last season.

Pretty good thus far this though

Johnson is better than him though

[Syn]

The same GHELkinson who's been a part of a defence that's barely been troubled so far this season? Have you watched him play or do you just compile a highlight reel of the couple of misplaced passes he made against Liverpool?

His first job is defending and he's done that at a very good level so far in his Arsenal career. His all-round play improves game by game too. It's a bonus if he becomes the next Dani Alves.

It's another example of the wisdom of Sam Allardyce.

He has defended very well. He plays the odd shocker of a pass which he really needs to cut out because we only have room for one mental patient and his name is Slcjshjkdfhlerkty. Gibbs is better but I'm very comfortable with the British ratio in the squad right now.

wont win anything with the likes of jenkinson in the team. id put our great run down to the defence working as a unit and being well drilled, not jenkinson specifically doing anything amazing. we know most of our defenders are individually good but as a unit they used to be terrible. that seems to have been sorted now and we're reaping the rewards.

he still plays suicide passes which will prove fatal against top teams. 3 in the last game and 1 today

he has improved but that wasn't hard was it? he was utter shite

[GP]

He's never been utter shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Colback. :haha:

Jesus wept.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

he was utter shite.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh my god!

How has he not scored that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stevie Me. :haha:

What a miss.

Mignolet made a good save just before too from Shelvey.

Sterling. :bow:

Spot on

He was utter shite last season. He has improved but sooner Sagna is back and on form the better

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mini-Colback in the crowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel booked.

[hobson's choice]

Spot on

He was utter shite last season. He has improved but sooner Sagna is back and on form the better

Basically

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini off, Downing on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel header, Mignolet holds on to it well.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

sterling :haha:

terrible player

and to think people use him as a carrot to try and argue jenkinson has been good this season just because he had him in his pocket for the game :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Waddle stills says pelanty :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lee from Coalville on 81111 on text: "Agree with the Lee Cattermole comments. Effort, heart and passion is exactly what the national side is missing."

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez :bow:

1-1

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

SUAREZ!!

Sterling fantastic in the build up. And at 17 too. Given Rose a torrid time all game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-1 Suarez! Sterling assist.

[Cripps_orig]

Sterling set it up :bow:

Collymore calls him the new Mark Walters

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well ok, more like a Bramble assist but still, Sterling crossed it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sessegnon hasn't really done much.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

This is the time to go 'ultra attacking'.

[GP]

Sessegnon hasn't really done much.

That's because he is shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Mignolet to deny Shelvey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's because he is shit.

Well that does sound like a solid argument.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Larsson booked.

[Master Splinter]

That's because he is shit.

Can't believe we missed out on him.

Wenger :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fletcher off, Saha on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stevie Me wastes another freekick.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

MON and his flails :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Has Sterling played every game so far? He looks about 10, you might kill him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sessegnon running with the ball in to, well, nowhere.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Has Sterling played every game so far? He looks about 10, you might kill him.

Has Sahin actually started a game for that lot.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Winning. :lol:

So overrated.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-1 Liverpool, FT. Liverpool are out of the relegation zone!

Man Utd at Anfield next. :popcorn:

MON. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has Sahin actually started a game for that lot.

Against us...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That's because he is shit.

:gp:

Who was it that said we should buy him as he is the type of player we need?

[Master Splinter]

:gp:

Who was it that said we should buy him as he is the type of player we need?

It was Ach.


We should buy Sessegnon as he is the type of player we need

Ach :haha:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

At least MotD will actually be bearable this week...

[Master Splinter]

At least MotD will actually be bearable this week...

Scholes' 700th game.

Glossing over Wellshit diving.

Handshakes.

Pulis' face.

Not sure.

[Master Splinter]

Sunderland have not won in their last 11 Premier League matches, which equals Martin O'Neill's longest run as a manager in the division without a victory, which was set between November 2006 and January 2007 when he was at Aston Villa.

MON :haha:.

It's happened quicker this time.

Back to Leicester soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker on Twitter:

"MOTD running order as follows: Ars/Sou, ManU/Wig, Ful/WBA, AV/Swa, Sto/ManC, Sun/Liv, QPR/Che, Nor/WHU. You know it makes sense. BBC1, 22:20 BST

:popcorn:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

MON :haha:.

I recall a long range Pod shot straight at the keeper but thats it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You can't go wrong with Germans....

[Cripps_orig]

As a great character once said

"Nobody who speaks German is an evil person"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho. :bow:

Just do things first time again in the future.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton's finishing is more clinical than ours.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Szhananay. :haha:

What a calamity.

[Cripps_orig]

Ches :doh:

That was terrible

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Szczesny. :lol:

But that's unusual for him...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The post denies Ramsey's next assassination.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo :bow:

Good finish with his left foot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't work out if Nigel Adkins is sweating or made out of porcelain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi's Deep Voice. :haha:
