Bugger. Had been really good up to that as well.

Lovely lovely.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
good game this
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 30 December 2011 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
Carroll's been good too. Hoping this doesn't peter out now like every other home game this season.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
Has he? I honestly haven't noticed him
― Number None, Friday, 30 December 2011 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
I had a brief vision of a universe where the foreign invasion, EPL boom, etc. never happened. In that world, this sort of game decides titles.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 20:39 (twelve years ago) link
He's done nothing since I wrote that of course xp. But things were sticking to him early on and he was linking things up well.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
I was sort of falling asleep anyway

Newcastle are having the most ridiculous amount of possession without threatening. LFC are bound to nick this.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
Uhhh. I take back everything.

The big man doing what he does best.

What, missing the ball?
― aldo, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
Getting in the way, basically. Think it counts as an assist.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, if it works.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
Fuck me - how did he keep that out?
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
Sheesh, that Ba/Skrtl thing was beautiful all round.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
ok that is one of the best goal line clearances i've seen in years
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 30 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
helluva clearance off the line there.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
brilliant finish by ba, but what a clearance
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 30 December 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
ARGH
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
wow that is a hell of a cut Bellamy has
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 30 December 2011 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, time to turn it off now.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
Nice
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
Nice shot by Johnson.

a hoy hoy, are you still working through the bible? i just came across this amazing passage that seems in the spirit of your reading:
2 Kings 2:23-24 King James Version (KJV) 23And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

No doubt now who are the sixth-best team in the league.
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
Nice to see Spearing's learnt his lesson from that Fulham sending off.
― Chris, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
Fully deserved MOTM for Gerrard there. Seem to remember he got one in the game against Utd "just cause it's nice to have him back" (Wilkins tbf)
― Number None, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
Just seen a clip of McCarthy's presentation on tackling. Wow.

McLeish said: "You don't want to be bringing attention to yourself. It is not something I want to be discussing."He added: "Was it a shisha pipe [Arabic smoking pipe] or something? I don't know what is in that stuff. For all I know he could have been blowing bubbles into it or something.

The big rumour is a loan for Carlos Tevez, although his wages would surely be a problem and they already have Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City; the rules permit no more than one loan from the same club (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/dec/29/transfer-window-club-guide-premier-league)
wha, why is this even a rumour when it's apparently impossible?

Penalty to Blackburn....

1-0

pffft cheers for ruining it - wait, nothing could ruin that score/

Only 75 mins to hold out

Yakubu is still in his 20s... I don't know how I feel about that.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:04 (twelve years ago) link
Blackburn, defending, look like a third division team. Utd need to just work 1% harder and this is still 6-1.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:11 (twelve years ago) link
that was one of the worst attempted shots i've ever seen
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:14 (twelve years ago) link
Crap game, flat atmosphere so far
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:16 (twelve years ago) link
you know what i fucking hate? 1. saying that the ref would have to be brave to give another penalty 2. having that be your statement when a foul has been committed in the area; not 'he should give blackburn a penalty' 3. the resigned use to not only imply the ref is weak and cannot do his job properly, but also that to be too weak to call it is natural and fine at OT.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:26 (twelve years ago) link
I could never call a game where Venkys's Blackburn are beating Utd at home crap. It is making a mockery of 'best league in the world' tho
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:29 (twelve years ago) link
Half-time approaching, there's been one shot on target so far and that was the penalty (which was pretty soft anyway as they were both pulling each other)
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:29 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but venkys are winning at old trafford
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:30 (twelve years ago) link
i can't make out united's formation. carrick at rb?
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:32 (twelve years ago) link
Carrick centre-back, Valencia right-back, Rafael centre midfield, I think.
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
jones is kinda floating somewhere
kean 4 lyfe (if the game ended now)
