The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

I like to think that Cech kicked that at Dempsey's head on purpose.

[Summers]

Dempsey is so, so good. I have no idea how he's still at Fulham.

I also rate Dembele. Good footballer.

Because we are awesome.

Dembele will go before Dempsey, I feel. Younger, more potential.

A few years back, when I saw Fulham live, I was so impressed by Dempsey. Guy has an awesome touch.

[stokeriño]

Penalty? Really?

Looked to me like Kalou just had people in front of him and fell over, but I suppose the challenge was an odd one.

[Liam]

That was a penalty.

[Summers]

I just can't believe a big club hasn't gone for him. Downing goes for 20m and no one is sniffing around Demps.

[Lineker]

Fat fucking Frank

'Kay.

1-0 to Chelsea. We will now attempt to defend the entire second half and gift an equaliser in the 70-somethingth minute. After that we'll panic and it'll be backs to the wall all the way to the end.

Such is the predominant pattern of my recent experience.

Dunno, there was a few teams in for him the last few transfer windows, if you believe rumours. Mostly from teams on the continent, rather than Prem teams though.

[Marcos]

Bit weird that Cahill gets booked for a decent tackle and Meireles gets booked for Riise diving, yet Danny Murphy doesn't get a booking for that.

[Liam]

Even though I play in defence, and defend most tackles, I think Cahill's was a foul. Didn't get a second look at it, but looked like he caught the player before, or at least at the same time as the ball.

[Summers]

From the replay, I don't think he touched the player.. Seemed like a good tackle. Not a booking, even if it was a foul.

The pen is strange.. Two footed tackles like that are red cards and if that's what the pen is for then it's atleast a booking.

[Liam]

Don't like Neville almost trying to suggest it was a dive.

Contact was limited, but I don't think he was trying to dive.

[stokeriño]

We all know that Kalou does well enough falling over without ever thinking of diving.

[Summers]

Kalou was falling before the contact from Murphy I thought.

[IAceI]

It takes a special kind of stupid to go to Goodison Park on a Monday when we haven't beat them since 2001/02 season. I am that special kind of stupid, so hello.

[Baddar]

Hello, Ace! Also, definite pen.

[Liam]

Suggested Kalou got clipped before Murphy 'fouled' him?

Strange.

[Summers]

There you go. Kelly clipped him, nothing to do with Murphy's two foot lunge.

[stokeriño]

Except Kelly didn't clip him...so the conclusion is "lolwut".
