Football

Funny how we were top when Suarez came back from his ban.

Fuck me, that was after only 6 games you tit

In other news, Martin Atkinson is ref for the derby in 2 weeks

That's us fucked then :-(

I wouldn't sweat it. The first half was terrible- atmosphere decent but not playing Lucas really fucked us*. He comes on and we're back to playing football. I saw same player today at Runcorn on Crutches on my way back to London. Don't look like he'll be back anytime soon. Rodgers needs to earn his keep before that window slams shut.

• I'd argue the team he sent out to be almost disrespectful - way too gung ho and over confident.
  

Yep Lucas is out with a knee injury.

PS I thought the pen was soft as fuck. It didn't look like the keeper did himself any favours as LS was moving away from goal. Replays showed he pulled back. If life depended on it would it be enough to go down?

What about that £18m Brendan spunked on Sakho?

He can't defend. Though he is fast and strong which is good for attacking. But he doesn't seem to be able to cross the ball which is a problem

you're wrong Sahko.. is going to be some player for us... he's good.

you're not confusing Sahko and Cissokho are you?

Tenderloin - Liverpool have a transfer committee

This.

Sakho is second best in the air I'm not sure I've seen him out headed yet and he is desent. Cissokho I've already mentioned is total gash. I spent more time berating him for his poor positional sense.

This can't be good.

Even if the FA cant decide if he is some kind of loony neo-nazi, the sponsors clearly have.

Why do footballers have to keep doing this shit? When I write a decent bit of code, I don't run around the office bear chested or with a slogan on my vest saying Free the Finchley four of whatever

Keep the politics and slogans to people who have a clue

I suspect if it were another put-upon minority group they may not have been so hasty.

Cabella to move to Newcastle in July.

Another frenchman.

United £37M move for Mata

Leighton Baines Blatant Dive vs West Brom (20-1-2014) - YouTube

Christ, seen it all now...cockney Kopites moaning about diving

Anyone seen my bleach??

I think Bobby Martin borrowed it to clean the piss stains off his sheets.

Blaines - diving sissy. Fact. His name can now be added to the list of professional footballers that dive pathetically. Always ten times worse when it is a British player. I expect better.

Saw the second half. Thought Albion had it but to be fair it was mainly huff and puff. We can play a lot better than that. Very surprised at the team. 4 top quality players left out. Bit flat, predictable, square.....nothing a couple of wins won't put right. Ultimately a lot better than Everton who looked poor but comfortable.
What have you done to Lukaku? Although to be fair he has his limitations

Well done Zoopla, I was speaking to one of their marketing guys the other day but forgot to ask about their WBA sponsorship.

I think its pretty disgusting that the FA has taken so long to do anything. Joke really.

Zoopla can go fuck themselves. So a couple of days before an announcement they leak some shit to a trade magazine that they are unhappy? Please.
The FA are slow but to be fair they are probably making sure the legal shit is water tight. Anelka is operating in a grey area. Are they really going to ban him from plying his trade because of being a racist over an unsubstantiated hand gesture?
It's an unsavoury affair and sadly pathetic but you can't go around asking people not to pick players because they might be racist and we won't hang around for the inquiry.
Take your money and go sell homes on somebody else's shirt front if you are unhappy about the disciplinary process.

I suspect if it were another put-upon minority group they may not have been so hasty.

True.

Just being devils advocate again for a moment.
Some would say that the Jews were hardly a put upon minority post Second World War and that western guilt accounts for the fact that Palestinians lost their sovereign home. Not many minority groups have that amount of clout on the world stage and economic wealth and power.

I'd just like to point out that any group of people that spend time hating other groups of people annoy me equally. But they all just seem to miss the fucking point.

as a British Jew who heartily dislikes the state of Israel I would suggest that you focus your wildly inaccurate, baseless and assumptive lack of knowledge on commenting on a bunch of millionaires kicking a ball around

'takes wet bedsheets off the bed and replaces with fresh linen'

Exactly how is it widely inaccurate to say that the above opinion is held by some people? Feel free to explain.

lordy lordy what a dive
guzan was much closer to touching suarez

So Torres back to Atletico as well as Mata to ManU (lol)?

thought you were expressing your own opinion, fair nuff, move along

So... Not sure how it came across on the telly but, from where I was sitting, that was the most energetic I've seen us since the 5-5 at the end of last season.

It appears that, in the last 8 days, we've learned to press higher up the pitch and move forward at twice the pace we did before. We're also looking to be much more direct and played some fantastic balls through the middle.

We still look shaky at the back and Lugano (amazing header aside) is far too slow for this league.

If we can keep playing like that every week, there's no way we'll be in trouble come May!

The F.A. in getting off the fence shocker

OMG whatever next. So he is an anti-semite

You need a better centre back, a better left winger and a striker.
Yacob was excellent and I tend to agree with you. Though Everton played badly and the game wasn't much to look at as a neutral.

Anelka isn't fast enough against good defenders. I was impressed with Anichebe but he wont play against his old club every week. I do like the look of Vydra.

Holtby on loan would be an excellent shout
