itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

kane has a powerful shot but his touch, movement, passing, decisions have been pretty poor in this entire uefa run

Next rooney obv

shit

Refs got that badly wrong imo

no wait, its been chalked off?

Ref still dreadful there, either he called a stop and no goal, or he didn't and it's a goal.

that's just bizarre

Have been kind of half watching the Milk Cup action tonight, but managed to miss both the goals.

like watching arsenal

think the ref got that call right just way late (assuming he called a foul on defoe not offsides)

What is this Spurs game you appear to be watching?

against PAOK in europa league action

you can't call it right after we score though!

Nobody in the box, reminds me of life before adebayor this

Palace back in front

well, that was frustrating.

Maybe the core problem was that Bruce never accepted that, sometimes, the devil really is in the detail. Soon after Ahmed Elmohamady arrived from Egypt, Sunderland's manager was asked if the winger would be observing Ramadan and if so, how the daylight fasting might affect his game.

The question was met with a blank look. "Is Elmohamady a Coptic Christian rather than a Muslim then?" the questioner persisted. It was an important distinction and the answer should have tripped off Bruce's tongue, but he clearly did not have a clue.

??

what religion is twp

Palace win

Palace youngsters better than Utd youngsters. How was Pogba?

Have not so fond memories of Cup Semi-Finals against Palace. Still rather draw them than City tbh

holy shit that goal

Rooney is Catholic obv.

It wasn't really Utd youngsters. That was the problem. Pogba wasn't great when he came on, Morrison started decently and then kind of faded

Utd dominated for most of the second half and extra time but in a toothless sort of fashion. Valencia actually started taking people on with five minutes to go and looked a different player. I really wish he would continue to play to this strengths

rooney is white

How is Gibson still at Utd, if it was gonna happen for him it would have by now. Pogba, Morrison etc are ones who still have a chance of progressing, then you had some squad players (Berba, Park, Rafael) but perhaps a few too many who fall between the two.

Actually scratch that, just saw the initial line up and most of the team are established squad/first team players.

I was complaining about that at half-time

How is Gibson still at Utd = waiting for lucrative contract when he leaves on a free next summer

Who's gonna pay him more than Utd have been? Steve Bruce hasn't got a job y'know.

Well he didn't go to Sunderland because they wouldn't match his wage demands apparently :|

yah im not saying he has good reason to, but id guess that's what he is banking on.....

palace is my team of choice to root for when watching the football league show so obv i am made up.

His shooting was actually decent tonight. He can hit them y'know

gibson is the next liam miller

transfers summer 2k12: 'darron can shank a ball over a skip from quite far away'

deegs

liv city semi

itt

Fuck!

City will play their reserves, unfortunately their reserves are better than our first team. Oh well Championship team in the Final will be good.

Couldn't care less right now tbh.

Pfft, you're forgetting we're just off the back of murdering City 1-1.

Chris's spirit died with Lucas

Totally. Just fed up with this 'we exist to win trophies' bullshit. Daft to play him v Chelsea, daft not to have adequate cover for him, daft not to manage him properly and daft to overrely on him.

I almost feel worse for you than Lucas. I wish Aquilani could come back to make everything better.

lol

Where's Christian Poulsen when ya need him?!

jay spearing gonna be the next mellor

don't know what you're moaning at tbh, our single DM is Karl fucking Henry

Psyched for Liverpool's-£20m-signing-Tiote's debut.

Igor Biscan has surely got nothing better to do. He can fill in.
xxp

igor biscan was some legend on cm4 i'll tell the world

Biscan's wonder goal at Fulham in 04/05 is one of my favourite football moments of all time. That 'wtf how did I do that' reaction afterwards was simply heartwarming. Just beautiful.

Guys, relax - Jonjo's coming back.

Actually think this could mean more of a central role for Henderson, who has improved a lot in the last few games. And Gerrard must get fit at some point?

Gerrard is done (allegedly)
