Certainly is a concern, I don't recall anybody taking the kicks he has on a consistent basis. Then again I dont watch every other game but it sure seems he is treated worse than anybody else. Hopefully Rodgers sits him for Oldham on Sunday even though I'm sure Suarez will want to play.

In fairness he seems to be one of those guys who is simply good at avoiding injury. Staying healthy is definitely an ability and he seems to have it.
As opposed to one like Sturridge who is like to be out for a month every time he is involved in a tackle.
Oh, I guess MARCA was BS with that Christian Tello to LFC rumour, fuck them.

Humor me, typed too fast, "imagine".
On other notes, Arsenal are rumored to have successfully signed Dimitar Berbatov from Fulham to replace Giroud and Bendtner, both are injured.
Sturdy, intelligent, skillful with deadly finish, he's got it all, except a sense of determination and willingness to work. Should turn out to be a flop imo.

How did I not notice these Big Sam tweets until today? Fucking all-time classic:
notBigSam ?@TheBig_Sam 2 Jan
Watching 'Pretty Woman' with Stephen Hawking. Never again. Never fucking again.
notBigSam ?@TheBig_Sam 2 Jan
Listening to him say "Oh. Sam. This. Bit. Gets. Me. Every. Time" every five minutes in his fucking cyborg drone is absolutely destroying me.
notBigSam ?@TheBig_Sam 2 Jan
The fucker is sleeping over, too. And he wants the top bunk. I'll have to throw him up there like a fucking bin bag. FML.
notBigSam ?@TheBig_Sam 2 Jan
"You. Are. Getting. Sacked. In. The. Morning" he keeps chanting, before launching into a filthy version of 'Fitter Happier' by Radiohead.

'Pretty Woman' is a fucking belter, though.

Twitter / FCBayern: Offiziell: Bayern verpflichtet ...
Well.. guess there will be only 1 team challenging for the title in Germany for the next 5-6 years.
Springbok

Ho-hum, another stroll in the park. Wish we'd managed to do that without anyone going off injured though. Also,[email protected]/* <
if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return t[e]}();if(t&&(c=t.previousSibling
{p=t.parentNode;if(a=c.getAttribute('data-cfemail'{for(e='',r='0x'+a.substr(0,2)|0,n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)e+='%'+('0'+('0x'+a.substr(n,2)^r).toString(16.slice(-2);p.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(decodeURIComponent(e,c)}p.removeChild(t)}}catch(u){}}()/* ]]> */- that was pretty brilliant. Sherwood setting up in a 4-4-2 against Arsenals midfield isn't going to cut it unless the 2 are genuine world class. Soldado is still a talented guy, but he's had a rough season.

Tim Sherwood is tactically naive from what I've seen so far, I certainly wouldn't be hopeful that as the season goes on you won't fall further away from the top 4. The sight of Levy and Baldini shaking their heads in the stands might pretty common in going forward.

Not because of that transfer, Dortmund isn't competing anymore anyways, the transfer was pretty much known for a year now and Lewa isn't even going to play under Guardiola.
But yeah, it's looking grim. Currently, no one to beat FCBayern

No, Bayern has a habit of throwing top players on the bench so they can't score for other clubs. Taking G?tze and Lewa from Dortmund ensures they won't compete for the title next year, and they were the only opposition in the last few years.
Guardiola likes playing with a false 9 instead of a true striker, and Lewa will compete with M?ller, G?tze and Mandzukic for that position. I doubt he'll get many appearances next season unless other players get injured.

I know the lad who does these. He had the original parody account took off him and deleted by Twitter after the real Allardyce got pissed off with it (he mentioned it in the press more than once, which was funny in itself). Got it back eventually after agreeing to make it clear it was a parody account.
This is funny from him :
Not Big Sam: Truth-bombs on the thorny issue of homosexuality in football : Paddy Power Blog - Latest odds and news from the Premier League to Cheltenham
During my time at Bolton, the great Jeffrey Archer once dropped into training unexpectedly. Jeffrey was researching an idea for a novel he had been toying with, and wanted to study me at close range. The novel was never published, but with a working title of I Suspect He Might Have Been One, we can only drool at the mysterious plot-lines that could have coursed throughout its pages.
As part of his interviewing technique, Jeffrey was fond of throwing out random stats, and observing his subject as they struggled to deal with them.
"Asians don't believe in geometry."
"Dwarves can't make words rhyme."
"Pigs love racism."
Truth-bombs that blew my mind
As Jeffrey's truth-bombs exploded around me, I became drunk with the very liquor of accepted wisdom. Two supposed stats in particular rocked me to the very core of my being.
"Did you know that 1 in 10 people in this world are gay, Big Sam?" he asked knowingly. "And four in 13 people are Chinese."
As my mind was flooded with information and provocation, I could feel the anger rise throughout my body. I thought about my squad; my legion of trusted soldiers. There was definitely more than 10 players in my squad, so I soon calculated that there was at least one homosexual. I didn't think I was a homophobe, but I also knew I wasn't someone who appreciated being lied to. I was livid. I threw Archer aside like a polio-ridden orphan, and marched into the dressing room. Alas, I had become completely cocooned in rage by this point, and had completely lost my train of thought.
"Which one of you f**kers is Chinese?!" I roared, focusing my ire on Ivan Campo, and beating him to a smugless pulp.
