Looks like it actually did work out well for Bournemouth

Not a breath of wind in the stadium, although yes it was certainly raining. Fair play to Klopp, he certainly got it right over Hughes, especially in the first half.

But it's only half time. All Stoke have to do now is win at Anfield for the first time ever.

Always good to keep an eye on what our feeder club is doing.

Seriously?

I was ecstatic when Sunderland took the record off us. How could you ever be proud of that?

Roll on February

That's by keeper, not team, off the top of my head, Arsenal, Chelsea, WBA and Stoke have all used 2 or more keepers (Cech being one of them).

Are we sure Liverpool are even winning the goalkeeping?

bigger sides like Watford or Stoke

Excellent trolling

I'm still waiting for the passport office to send me my new documents. Useless fuckers.

Does that mean you may be on for a West's sometime, we were discussing doing a monthly one..

Quite looking forward to MOTD later.

Not as much as I am!!

TBH, things are pretty good at Upton Park at the moment. Even the 0 - 0 I went to a few weeks ago was the best 0 - 0 I've seen for a while.

Can't say I was that happy when you managed to get your noses back in front though, the scrap for places in the Premiership is probably as open as I've ever seen it.

I know it went our way today, but I like to believe I'm consistent on this one, I hate the "He touched the ball", therefore it wasn't a foul line that pundits seem to take.

@b&d Feeling better now? Were you actually there? If so, when do you go back?

Any one else want to add their considered opinion to the debate? Arnautovic Penalty

Also, FWIW my view is that Joselu hugs Clattenburg, not the other way round.

For the record, I don't expect Pisti to see eye to eye with me on this today.

After this incredible example of predicting the future, I guess now is the time to buy a lottery ticket.

Happier?

Just been having a rather heated debate, as to what is, and isn't a foul, vis a vis the "He touched the ball defence"

My view is, (And always has been, whatever the circumstances)

A good tackle is one that means the forward ends up without control of the ball because of the way the defender plays the ball (Either he moves it out of range of the forward being able to play it, or he traps it). If after winning the ball, the he ends up in a position where the forward falls over him, then that is part of the tackle.

If a defender touches the ball slightly, then trips a forward who can no longer get to a ball 3 feet away, that he could get to before being tripped, then its a foul.

I'd be interested on other peoples' views (As long as they match mine)

For the record, I don't expect Pisti to see eye to eye with me on this today.

Ahh no,

Got bored when it started talking about Mourinho, will leave it up there anyway, (but in my (lame) defence I was sceptical)

Any news from more reputable sources?

I'm wondering when Mark Hughes is going to get another stab at a big(ger) club...

I think he has to win something, or qualify for Europe. That goes for Pardew as well.

If he wins a trophy in his next 4 chances (And how hard can it be to win Stoke's 2nd trophy in over 150 years?), and the sideshow that is Man Utd continues to entertain, then I wouldn't rule out him being considered for Old Trafford in the summer of 2017, as Jose is flung out of the door.

However that seems a ridiculously long time in the future for the footballing world.

10/10, but really rubs in how much further away I now am from the 92 club than I was 20 years ago!

Stones dodged a bullet with these arseholes

I hear he's taking Spanish lessons, must be off to Stoke?

Avram Grant? he has experience of a relegation dogfight

The Leicester manager seems quietly impressive?

What's all the fuss about, I remember Bob Paisley leading numerous similar celebrations for drawn matches when I used to visit Anfield in the '80s

let's just do anything to stay in the Prem

TP is the gift that keeps on giving, not only did he set us up for where we are now, he's also pissing of Baggies fans royally!

Obviously its easy to think you could really be the Leicester of the Midlands if it wasn't for TP, but you could just as easily be the Forest, Coventry, Derby, Wolves etc. (Generally football fans don't think that way though)

I'm guessing some Baggies on here may enjoy this

Deadline Day

Lovely, enjoy

Norths regulars are welcome too...

Oops

Think I've fixed it, cheers
