itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

to clarify my earlier comment, when benzema scooped that shot wide past higuain (i think) the sky commentator said to gerry armstrong: "pomo, gerry, pomo!" which sounded like "homo".

then he said "position of maximum opportunity" and gerry armstrong didn't raise any surprise at thsi, and his tone sounded like it was a stock phrase that everyone knew.

Yep, both me and my flatmate thought he said homo. Bizarre

I assume it's a regular catchphrase on Sky's Spanish coverage? Fuck knows

likewise, really one of the weirdest things i've ever heard watching a game.

Steve Claridge on the Football League Show, on Jimmy Kebe's showboating against West Ham: "It doesn't surprise me that it's not an English player doing that." Prat.

can't help but feel barca could do with a target man up front. they lack a 35m presence from free kicks.

when zlatan retires, ppl gonna finally cotton on to the beauty they missed while too busy complaining about him

think you're making a diff point? basically my flatmate and myself just had a lol during the game at how amazing it'd be to see andy carroll in a barca shirt.

would love Riise's free kick to have been on target just to see if Vorm would have saved it

al-habsi's save from brunt's booming shot was p cool

alexis sanchez's goal was class start to finish

ineista was amazing, lass reduced to wrestling him to the ground at one point

mourinho losing will never fail to fill me with joyful contentment

oh, and ronaldo was shit

still heart Mourinho, he just needs to drop these losers and get back in charge of a proper club

mccarthy out?

yes please

Don't be so fickle, NV. You can't suddenly start hating on Mick just because of one defeat.

"No Dougal, these footballers are small, but these footballers are far away."

There's no chance we won't lose this game.

considering the unspoken potential for lols at city, this is a v. open season, 5 teams still kinda in the race by december.

spurs dominating possession now, but adebayor looking wasteful and vdv invisible

parker having his worst game for spurs too

vdv and adebayor completely lacking interest, lennon and bale aren't on their toes, walker not one bit bothered about defending either goal, and the ref happy for it to be a physical affair- yep, we're going down here today

Shotton just had one of the worst halves of someone purporting to be a professional footballer I've ever seen. He also set up 2 goals by throwing it very far.

VDV has been poor. Why is Bale right and Lennon left?

If City win tmrw there is no way in hell that Arsenal or Chelsea are making up 12/13 pts on them in the 2nd half of the season.

bale and lennon switch wings all the time. people like to complain about it. can't see spurs scoring off crosses anyway with 11 stoke players in their own box.

pandemic otm.

lennon more use on left tbh, bale better off cutting in today as we've nobody in the box

i hate it when they call him 'scotty' parker

ref's a fuckin clown, tho that was a peno all day

ffs three penos missed by ref and a good goal chalked off

another handball refs a cunt

'it's rarely dull here at the britannia' gtfo

this was well timed

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/dec/10/tottenham-younes-kaboul-top-four/print

he saw that alright the rotten cunt

spurs getting totally hosed by the ref here today. Shawcross can fuck off as well. Woodgate should have been off in the first half also.

sounds like Chris Foy has had a proper shitshow

ha xp

why are these inbreds booing modric

he got in the way of some great stoke defending

if the defender pulls his foot back after kickin you it's no foul in stoke

foy's a cunt, i dunno what was in that for him today but that was a rotten show of cheating he endorsed

this is effed up -- same referee disallowed stoke goal in same fixture last season, surely they are (if not entirely consciously) liable to favour stoke?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8928595.stm

refs are pliable enough when faced with 30k angry reets without a guilt complex too

dunno but for him to book kaboul after the penalty shout was a disgrace

Fuck stoke tho

nah that's fair enough, it was a booking and allowing it to 'even things out' is corrupt

Yep, just popping in to say the ref had a shocker

Modric did dive though tbf

Was that a towel Shotton had stitched into his shirt?
