Richards has to be at rb over walker, he has been superb for mancini

 

[gmloki]

In Uruguay, kicking Scott Parker apparently means I am happy to be back at Anfield and Love to all my followers.

 

[Aoami]

Hahaha. 5 minutes it took him.

 

[Raven]

 

[Keitanz]

 

[caLLous]

We'll take 3 off spuds

So I'm a few minutes late. Well-deserved point methinks, Bale had a bit of an off-night.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Dullllllllllllllll.

 

[caLLous]

From AnfieldCat: "In my 3 minute cameo I've ran past more players than Stewart Downing has all season."

 

[caLLous]

Some great defending though Wazz. We played some bloody lovely football, especially in the first half. Something of a pity that not a lot of it happened in the final third though. :\

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Well, lets put it this way. Torres was great yesterday, apart from when he got into the final third.

Oh wait, that's the important area. If you want turgid 0-0s go to Italy

 

[caLLous]

I think turgid is a bit strong.

 

[Ch3tan]

God that was dull, lovely football my arse callous.

 

[caLLous]

I didn't say we played 90 mins of lovely football I said there was some, and I stand by it. Just not very offensive lovely football, we were rock-solid at the back though.

 

[Scouse]

So I'm a few minutes late. Well-deserved point methinks, Bale had a bit of an off-night.

According to the beeb we shaded it, but still, gah. Another draw

On the other hand, I had a fabulous curry

 

[Scouse]

According to Opta, and quoted on teh beeb:

Gareth Bale is the only player to have been booked twice for simulation in the Premier League this season

You fouling bastards too, by the look of it

 

[caLLous]

Yeah that was horrendous from Bale but general opinion seems to be that Suaracist should've been sent off for kicking Parker. I must admit I didn't think much of it at the time but hey, I'm all for jumping on that bandwagon.

 

[rynnor]

Suarez seems to be a bit of an idiot - I wonder if he'll pick up a new ban for the Parker foul?

 

[caLLous]

He can't can he? If the ref saw it and took action.



'orrible little cunt.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It's funny as it's never going to cause any harm.

 

[Keitanz]

Looks a bit disgusting but I don't believe it was fully intentional at all... he checked to see if he was alright straight away.

 

[Raven]

That's ok then!

Not saying that, but the video is making it look worse than it is, a lot of shit like that happens a lot every game... but a big deal was made out of this since it was so clear and cause it's Suarez

 

[Billargh]

As much as I loathe Suarez, I do reckon he just misjudged where the ball was going to go. Probably took the risk, expecting it to just drop rather than for Parker to head it.

 

[Scouse]

Yup. Media are going to hound him till he leaves for spain tbfh.

 

[rynnor]

It was a shit game either way - you were lucky you missed it Scouse :/

 

[Hawkwind]

I think turgid is a bit strong.

Did you see the AC Milan v Napoli game on Sunday? Most exciting thing was the pantomime incident when the Napoli keeper got a yellow and Zlatan a red for the slap.

 

[Hawkwind]

Ferguson must look happier than a fat kid in a sweet shop when he sees the name Howard Webb as the match official. Absolute fucking joker.

Agreed, second pen was a joke. Welbeck looks down, see's the leg and pushes his left foot sideways into it to create the contact. Cheating bastard! Ivanovich hit ball first and came from the side. Bloody disgrace and I'm no Chelski fan!

Yet another game watching the referee constantly surrounded by players asking for cards every time the whistle is blown. Giggs and Rooney (nice chav haircut btw) were the worst offenders in this game but it is endemic in the EPL. I wish they would do something about it.

 

[caLLous]

Thought Webb had a pretty good game tbh, the first was a definite pen, the second wasn't but only after a couple of replays which he doesn't get. From the angle the ref had, it probably looked like a pen. There should probably have been another 1 for Utd in the first half as well.

All that pales into insignificance next to Bale's embarrassing dive though.

 

[DaGaffer]

Argentina names its football league after The General Belgrano

Fucking idiots. Although I suppose every time an Argentinean player leaves for Europe journalists can point out they're leaving a sinking ship...
