itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

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.

white matthaus tbrr

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)

This guy:

Haha, he extends the r from "jaar" a lot, yes. He says it's a contender for goal of the yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Unless I'm mistaken, that's Yung-Star. You can call me sad now.

just seen the carrick 'wondergoal' that prompted my lil bro to ring me in excitement

What the fuck is wrong with y'all that was a dude jogging 60 yards unchallenged and passing it at a goalie.

yah

i hope u have censured him accordingly

he's not getting his box til xmas now

Do you think the reaction might have something to do with who scored it?

he's not got into the box since xmas 2007

the positive or negative reaction NN

Well i'd assume any Utd fan describing it as a wonder goal would be taking the piss somewhat, but it still involved Michael Carrick running a considerable distance forwards and successfully putting the ball in the net, so it's still a moment to be treasured.

ive noticed ynahtid fans hyping carrick again since fletcher went on sabbatical, cleverley got k-d'd, anderson went below 29% pass completion, scholes retired, gibson didn't retire and giggs just sort of ambled around complacently like the preening, overpaid, foreign bastard he has always dissimulated not to have been

I wouldn't say hyping him exactly but he's been decent the last two games and the partnership with Jones looks better than anything we've tried since Cleverley got injured. I'm never gonna actually like the guy (i've suffered too much for that) but needs must and all that
