itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

John Guidetti (centre forward from Man City, but on loan at Feyenoord) is destroying Twente, hattrick in the first half, Fey lead 3-0. He's quite the chap.

At what stage of the game? There was the seasonal "Feed the Scousers, let them know it's Christmas time" song and I think Mr Barton had a good-natured exchange with some chaps when he took a corner in the first half

(xp)

Seems like Rooney already took that advice.

Liverpool sure have hit the woodwork a lot this season!

trying to tempt van persie into a move?

Not liking Spurs' chances without both Lennon and Bale.

what's up with MON's number? does any other manager do that? seems almost more obnoxious than owen coyle's shorts.

really no excuse for a team with modric, vdv, and adebayor not to score against sunderland at home.

There's nothing to say about anything involving Villa any more, clearly.

good finish from pav

There's no way Song isn't getting sent off right?

modric just can't score, even with an open net.

sandro out-parkering parker today

score?

Sandro- better than lucas imo

1-0; 5 minutes to go

ya ya

arsenal should have someone two feet from djourou at all times so he doesn't have to pass.

craig burley says the younger-than-me zabaleta is a 'wily old dog'. :/

tbf he must be about 200 years old

Clearly offside they're saying

But that's nonsense

koscielny did well against messi, less so v aguero

This is amazing.

tyler could stfu with the epl grandstanding, there are other leagues where technical teams play to win vs each other

It's more like a proper knock-out game tbh

well yes but

It must be pretty frustrating as an Arsenal fan having to watch the likes of Gervinho, Arshavin and Chamakh attempt to rescue a game

stats pls, i am in a winter funfair fyi

It wasn't a stats game tbh, City were a bit better but it could've gone either way.

'stats' is 'whats goin on' fyi

phil jones the next messi.

It was a good game. We were beat by 1 stupid positional mistake but playing a team of City's quality, 89 minutes isn't enough. In fact it was 88 minutes because they had an equally easy chance from bad positioning in the first half.

Walcott was shit but the player who actually disappointed me was Ramsey. Fucking hell man, stop it with those flicks. He was more Hleb than Xavi.

Overall we were fine and most probably deserved a point. But 'deserved' is stupid. City are very good, even when teams attack them.

Bringing on Miquel, Arshavin and Chamakh is very dispiriting. (Miquel was fine.) Chamakh and Arshavin need to go and be replaced by proper players, Arteta like dudes with Premiership experience and know-how. Or Podolski who flopped at Bayern, either way.

Miquel looked shaky to me. Poor touch and clearance when he first came on and I think his positioning wasn't great either, but he's still learning too.

Chamakh and Arshavin don't really belong on the pitch.

Arshavin's performance actually made me really angry

Miquel started shakey but for an 18 y/o dude against silva, he did v. well

Arshavin's such a puzzle. I could imagine it being purely a confidence thing, like he's so terrified of making a mistake that he won't properly commit to anything, but he didn't seem like that before. I'd love to know what Wenger thinks.

what does the Ox have to do to get a game though? Surely he would have been a better option than either Chamakh or Arshavin

gervinho is fkn infuriating

uarshavin doesn't give a fuck since his first uk ax bill

Who's more depressing, Arshavin or Torres? I can't think of many declines like them. Thomas Brolin maybe.

The decline of Torres isn't depressing, it's hilarious.

That (presumably Dutch?) commentator reminds me of a character from some sci-fi kids programme from years ago...

(still googling for this, he was on Terrahawks and used to say "aaaahhhh motherrrrrr" like he was gargling)
