Seems Liverpool really are in the driving seat with today's results.

Seems Liverpool really are in the driving seat with today's results.

Quite amazed. Still, 8 points is nothing this early on tbh.

Think the mancs'll be a banana skin after the international break. They won't want us equalling city's win record - especially not at the "theatre of dreams" (lol).

I expect a bus or three. Either that, or the baby-faced assassin to hit "fuck it" and fire everything they have at us. (Frankly, they've got more chance of a win with the latter, but I reckon they'll go for a draw).

 

[caLLous]

Think I posted this last season as well but it's so well done and they're more shit than us so a bit of deflection never hurt.

Drink-drive crash footballers spared jail

As much this is a good result for Derby, I can't help but feel that they've largely got away with it because of who they are :\

I'm not sure the punishment fits what I've read of the incident, but then if they had been sent to prison others might of said it was harsh.

When I was young, in the mid seventies, I could go to the shops and buy 8 Blackjack and or Fruit Salad chewy sweets for 1p. Looking back the wrapper on the blackjacks was uncomfortably racist. I guess this is why, given the choice, Manchester City chose to dress up as Fruit Salads today.

Not racist or (in my opinion) offensive.

I guess i showed him with a hugedick. Thats stereotyping rather than racist imo.

It's actually the opposite - it's a supporter saying "we've got Divok Origi - he's got a huge dick".

Same happened with a Sheff Utd player - they have a song about his big dick too - the player used to dance to it on field (what man wouldn't like a song about him having a big dick?).

Sheff has tried to pit a stop to it (resulting in more fans, quite rightly, singing about it). The player is no longer allowed to enjoy it though - he's been told the song he enjoyed, from his fans, about how they admire him, is racist and offensive.

What a bullshit society we live in.

Southampton are currently a man and 7 goals down at home against Leicester. Absolute horror show. Records could be broken here, there's still half an hour to go.

Very innapropriate given its a 'family' game now...beats throwing sharpened coins I suppose.

If a child had walked past the poster as they took the pic..I'm sure things would have escalated pretty quickly.

 

[Scouse]

Not racist though @Job, and not even slightly comparable to throwing sharpened coins.

Anywsy - horrible (but 'comedy' often is - I dkn't personally find it funny, but can see how some would) but shouldn't be criminal.

 

[Scouse]

I'm not a fan of VAR - the atmosphere is being ruined. - James Milner.

Weak - Bulgaria fans' racism: Racist abuse of England players leads to stadium ban

 

[Job]

Consumed ..consumed I tell ya!

Racism has consumed football – the challenge now is how to punish it

 

[Job]

What the fuck is the Carabao cup?

Theres a few Liverpol fans I have spoken to who didnt know what it was and we have won it the most.

 

[Scouse]

They probably don't know what Carabo is (is it a drink?) but they know it's the league cup.

 

[caLLous]

Today, @Job learns about sponsorship.

(Carabao is a Thai energy drink iirc)

 

[Gwadien]

Also hates football but uses 'we'

Words, Gwad. Words.

 

[Gwadien]

Carabao is a Thai (or one of those countries) energy drink, which is interesting because I'm fairly sure I've never seen it sold in the UK.

 

[Embattle]

I'm not sure it has ever mattered who is the sponsor of the League cup.

 

[Scouse]

I liked the milk cup.

I also liked no VAR - even tho Arsenal's first goal was offside.

 

[Embattle]

Shocking tackle.

 

[caLLous]

No it wasn't. Whatever happened, it certainly shouldn't be a red for Son. The ref gave a yellow then changed his mind when he saw the injury without a VAR review (a review certainly wasn't mentioned). Just a terrible accident (much like Rondon's a couple of seasons ago).

 

[Embattle]

It was a red all day every day because as the league has just stated:

The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge.

 

[caLLous]

That's bullshit as well. Did Rondon get sent off for actually, physically breaking McCarthy's leg a couple of seasons ago?

 

[caLLous]

Not a red, then.
