Red Card Review: Lolverpool is Fun

Good to be back, I had to go check my transfer kitty and make sure it included more than just my writing fees.

If you didn’t hear, apparently Rodgers’ 20 million transfer kitty included new player salaries, but he never knew. I don’t even need to make a joke to hang on that statement.

Brendan Rodgers said that he wouldn’t have let Andy Carroll go out on loan if he knew a replacement wasn’t coming in, I thought Carroll’s replacement was All-Star Air on a Bosman free?

I wonder if Fox Soccer knows that their Liverpool documentary is actually a remake; just title it 3 Stooges and they’re good to go.

Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool 2-0, with their defeat Liverpool have officially announced themselves as a mid-table team.

FourFiveTwo’s Premier League Table Predictions

No one could have predicted this.

At the start of every season, the Fox Soccer Report has their on-air staff try to guess how the different clubs will finish in the Premier League table.  The clueless and Canadian group of TV talent never have any idea what is going on and always end up scratching their heads at the end of the season when Liverpool finishes outside the top two.   Still, even someone like the show’s analyst Bobby McMahon, who does know what he’s talking about most of the time, gets the end-of-season blushes when his predictions turn out to be wrong.  Can one really predict what will happen in such a crazy (see the chicken) and uncertain league like the EPL?   Maybe not, but that doesn’t mean the writers here at FourFiveTwo can’t give it a shot and try to look like we know what we’re talking about!

EPL Fan Costume Suggestions

The Smurfs are real lefties. Shouldn’t they be St. Pauli fans?

Now that his Swans are safe in the knowledge that they will be playing top flight football for another season, Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has encouraged the team’s fans to don a specific costume to commemorate the achievement.

According to Rodgers, English bookies gave the prospects of spotting Elvis Presley alive and well better odds than they did the possibility of the Welsh side surviving.

And so, Rodgers has encouraged the Swansea faithful to show up for this Sunday’s game against Liverpool dressed as “The King” (not Kenny… or LeBron).

And just yesterday in London, over 150 Hartlepool supporters dressed up as Smurfs for the League One outfit’s final match away to Charlton Athletic.

An homage to your club colors is fun, but I like Rodgers’ more topical approach. So, I have provided some more suggestions for EPL fans, after the jump.

Italy Refuses to Be Out-Bigoted

Sorry. No bewbz in this one.

Luis Suarez and John Terry have been hogging all the soccer press lately, including the territory usually reserved for leagues besides the vaunted EPL.

That’s right, English football has been getting into the racism game lately, but Serie A fans won’t cede their ground so easily.

While many will hastily claim the EPL superior in terms of both quality and tolerance, these latest episodes suggest much more equality on that latter, ignominious front than Serie A’s detractors have ever cared to admit.

As two of Italy’s most supported sides, Milan and Napoli, get set to face English opposition in the Champions League Round of 16, now seems as good a time as any to look into the current state of razzismo in Serie A and how it compares to the situation in England.
