Weekend Games 25th/26th August

[Syn]

FrankCesc says some nice words about the jack bastards.

"Can you get higher praise?", says Lawro. :doh:

Well, yes. If the same thing was said by Dembele it'd be higher praise.

But, in fairness, Swansea are looking damn good so far. They are playing quality football.

And that's from me. Can you get higher praise?

[hobson's choice]

Hope we dont play Chelsea soon

We are going to get royally fucked if we do




Well we do, Sept 29th

[Cripps_orig]

First time i seen that penalty incident.

Had that been our player, id have called for it so cant complain

[Cripps_orig]

Dowd :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant from Torres and Hazard :bow:

[Young Guns 11]

How has Ba missed?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I hate Pardew.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds vs WBA now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV. :lol:

He's off.

[Cripps_orig]

Vertonghen :lol:

Hes no Vermaelen

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku is a bit of a beast.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds' defending. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a fluke from Assou-Ekotto.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a clearance off the line. That was Freddie style.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morrison!

Spuds. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Spuds defending :lol:

[Young Guns 11]

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

WBA has 4 points from 2 games v Liverpool and Spuds

Impressive

[Young Guns 11]

You can catch us on "the Iplayer" :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton vs Wigan now.

[Cripps_orig]

Motty :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Al-Habsi. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Al Habsi :bow:

When did Saints change their home kit?

[Cripps_orig]

Al Habsi does what Given should have done

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good goal from Wigan. Great finish from Di Santo, amazingly.

[Cripps_orig]

Decent finish from Di Santo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That wasn't convincing from Al-Habsi there. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific defending from Southampton. :haha:

Kone. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Kone :bow:

Great celebration

[Cripps_orig]

Decent goal from Norwich

Good build up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's as soft a pelanty as you can be given. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Terrible officiating

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Green is bloody horrendous.

[Cripps_orig]

Green :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Snodgrass. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shut up Lineker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matt Law is on Sunday Supplement. :haha:

[Letters]

Rooney has a huge gash on his knee. :sick:
Not for the first time
:rimshot:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Reina, Kelly, Coates, Skrtel, Johnson, Lucas, Gerrard, Allen, Sterling, Borini, Suarez.

Subs: Jones, Enrique, Carroll, Henderson, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing.

Hart, Kolo, Kompany, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, De Jong, Yaya, Nasri, Balotelli, Tevez

Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Savic, Silva, Rodwell, Razak, Dzeko

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Electing not to pick Carragher is probably one of the smartest moves already this season.

Having said that, I still think Citeh will win for the first time in a gazillion years at Anfield.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Sterling eh. Heard good things.

[Boss]

Hope we see a 6-0 win in this.

For either side.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I was starting to worry when Carra played against Hearts, although Coates isn't the quickest either and has a mistake in him.

And Sterling has been (cue cliche) a breath of fresh air for the team because he has pace and will take a player on with the ball and run in behind. It really is a world of difference between him and the years of Kuyt down the wing. I don't expect much from him today though.

[Cripps_orig]

This match worth watching?

[Cripps_orig]

Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Coates, Johnson, Lucas, Allen, Borini, Gerrard, Sterling, Suarez. Subs: Jones, Jose Enrique, Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Carragher, Shelvey.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Toure, Kolarov, Toure, De Jong, Milner, Tevez, Nasri, Balotelli. Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Dzeko, Savic, Rodwell, Silva, Razak.

Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)

Enrique should start ffs

Who the hell is Kelly?

[Master Splinter]

Enrique should start ffs

Who the hell is Kelly?

Kelly is a very good right-back.

It's Johnson playing in Enrique's place. Enrique had a decent first few months but he hasn't been particularly good for a while.

I'm going for 1-1 in this.

[Cripps_orig]

Also Carra :lol:

Beginning of the end

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Enrique has had a back (I think) problem for the last week, hence why he isn't starting.

Also, MS, I'm surprised you think Kelly is a good player. Which he is.

[Young Guns 11]

Just let Tevez speak in his native language and translate it, so hard to understand what the fuck he's going on about

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Geoff Shreeves patronising the funny little foreigner.

[Cripps_orig]

Tevez interview with Shreeves

What a ****

Tevez is awesome though

[Master Splinter]

Also, MS, I'm surprised you think Kelly is a good player. Which he is.

I've said it a few times before. When Rafa threw him in a few times, he always looked composed and decent going forward too.

[Cripps_orig]

Isnt he that Pub Teamer that Woy called in to the Euro 12 squad? :lol:

What is it with Liverpool and average British players?

Only difference is you didnt spend £15m+ for him

[Dennis Bendtner]

So despite the 'who the fuck is Kelly' post, you knew who he was? Splendid +1.

Bit annoyed that Enrique isnt playing considering hes 47 million times better than Kelly and more importantly hes also in my FFL team

Rodgers must go

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas' hamstring has gone already. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ah damnit, Lucas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas off, Shelvey on.

Lucas will surely miss our game.

[Cripps_orig]

FFS

Liverpool get all the luck

Lucas wont play v us so Sahin will

Double celebration there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Skrtel is a bit lucky there, Balotelli rolled him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent enough freekick from Kolarov, Reina well to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pass from Suarez.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The guy next to the microphone :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Borini! :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Borini :lol:

Come back Andy, all is forgiven

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How the hell..?

[Cripps_orig]

Tevez hits the post

Why didnt Balotelli run in and tap it in?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Tevez get that across goal? Nobody following it up for the tappiest of all tap-ins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolo winds up for the big one, which as ever, gets blocked.

[Cripps_orig]

Hoping City win this

We arent going to challenge them this season and Liverpool are seen as one of our rivals for a top 4 spot

[Master Splinter]

Apparently Citeh are the first team ever to dominate possession away from home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't take Tyler seriously anymore, it just sounds like he is testing out material for the next FIFA game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reina goes flying...and completely misses it.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hoping City win this

We arent going to challenge them this season and Liverpool are seen as one of our rivals for a top 4 spot

Hope yaya scores 4.

Though Pool will be upset and ready for us their next week.

[Cripps_orig]

FK well left by Reina

Best keeper in the country

[Cripps_orig]

Hope yaya scores 4.

Though Pool will be upset and ready for us their next week.

Kompany to score a hat trick tbh

[Cripps_orig]

Great challenge by Johnson

FK given :doh:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Is it true that Sterling is a father of two?

Bloody love ghels.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

There was nothing wrong with that tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Suarez very sloppy so far.

Time for The Ponytail.

[Cripps_orig]

All Liverpool atm

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Balotelli :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Balotelli :haha:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

My god ref do your fucking job.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Kompany to score a hat trick tbh

Got him im my team so its all good too. Santi is my captain and that prick took him off :mad:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany nearly turned in Stevie Me's cross. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Citeh, Skrtel! What a header.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

SKRTEL!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Determination. :haha:

Shut up NQ bot.

[Cripps_orig]

Wish we had a corner taker like that

[Master Splinter]

http://pokeballzcenter.webstarts.com/uploads/Private_the_Squirtle.gif

:bow:

[Young Guns 11]

Thunderous

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guys can we stop relating everything that happens in football to Arsenal?

[Master Splinter]

Guys can we stop relating everything that happens in football to Arsenal?

Wish we had mods like RAWK.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kelly. :haha:

Pub teamer. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Kelly :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wish we had mods like RAWK.

Bye.

[Cripps_orig]

Kelly :haha:

He is alwful

Get Enrique for the inevitable hat trick

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez goes goes for glory, not that close really.

[Cripps_orig]

Sahin is there :upset:

[Master Splinter]

NQ is terrible, isn't he?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

NQ is terrible, isn't he?

Nah just lacks a bit of sharpness.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 HT

Decentish game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Citeh, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reminiscent of Andy Carroll in his pomp? :wacko:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That'll do.

Started pretty slowly but grew into that. Quite decent actually.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

City been poor or pool been good ?

[Cripps_orig]

City been poor or pool been good ?

Both

[Master Splinter]

Reminiscent of Andy Carroll in his pomp? :wacko:

He did score the Greatest Headed Goal In The History Of Football against Sweden tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Piss off Ray Winstone.

[Young Guns 11]

Man City 7/1 to win? I'm having a piece of that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He did score the Greatest Headed Goal In The History Of Football against Sweden tbf.

There is that. And he'll never replicate something as good as that again, so perhaps they were right after all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas injured himself in the warm-up and they played him anyway? :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh come on.

That is a ridiculous decision.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez fluffs another one.

Zabaleta. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez misses again :lol:

I remember when he was good

[Boss]

Come on Lolerpool :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Jong shows us how much of a pubber he truly is.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on City.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany and Ballotelli comedy show. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Rodwell about to come on :unsure:

[Young Guns 11]

All suarez had to do was look up before crossing :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Suarez :doh:.

Why is Kolo playing ahead of Lescott anyway?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasri hauled off, Rodwell on.

[Cripps_orig]

Nasri off :doh:

Mancini :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli hauled off, Dzeko on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 YAYA!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Good lord.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reina. :haha:

Horrific.

[Cripps_orig]

1-1 Yaya Toure

Kelly is terrible

[Young Guns 11]

Yes!

Just put a tenner on Man City winning at 9/1 moments before!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Skrtel took it away from Reina there and gave Kelly no chance to react.

Sigh.

[Syn]

Reina. :haha:

Horrific.

That's unusual for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kelly hauled off, Jose Enrique on.

[Cripps_orig]

Now Jose Enrique comes on for Kelly, minutes after Kelly fucks up

I called it at the start of the game

Rodgers is having a shocker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Suarez, what a freekick.

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a player

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

GET IN

[Master Splinter]

Suarez :bow:.

[Young Guns 11]

Bollocks!

[Cripps_orig]

Was never a free kick in the first place but what a goal

[Young Guns 11]

City now 14/1 to win.

[AKBapologist]

[Cripps_orig]

Kelly most relieved man in Anfield?

[Boss]

Yes!

Just put a tenner on Man City winning at 9/1 moments before!

:console:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:console:

:gp:

[Cripps_orig]

Citys wall for that free kick was one man short

Hart :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What are Citeh doing? :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Should be a pen to pool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner taken off for being a pub teamer, David Silva on.

[Cripps_orig]

Silva on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Tevez!!!

Skrtel. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Oh hello!

Thanks Squirtle! Give me hope :lol:

Good luck mate.

[Boss]

Indian player almost scores :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is what happens when you try to make scrotes play football.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

If we go on to lose this now....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini off, Carroll on.

[Cripps_orig]

Borini hauled off

Carroll on to shore it up for Man City

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko clears one for Liverpool.

[Cripps_orig]

Dzeko close

[Cripps_orig]

Sterling :lol:

Hes not very good is he?

[AKBapologist]

Is sahin playing/on the bench?

[Boss]

Kolo going apeshit :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Is sahin playing/on the bench?

No to both

[Boss]

Sterling is terrible.

Good attacking play by Liverpool apart from him

[Cripps_orig]

Allen MOTM despite doing f all :lol:

It probably was going to be Skrtel but then he does what he does best

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Johnson passes back to Hart

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson goes for it, not enough on it to trouble Hart.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez booked

[Cripps_orig]

Allen :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 FT. Liverpool are funny.

Skrtel. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

2-2 FT

Skrtel :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:banghead:

I'd have taken a point at the start though.

[Young Guns 11]

Rats <_<

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

2-2 FT. Liverpool are funny.

Skrtel. :haha:

Top 4 :pal: there having a laugh

5 Live :popcorn: their fans are the best in phone ins.

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool looking good, they should pick up their first win next weekend.

[Cripps_orig]

What does Villa la Nata mean?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

rodgers clearly having a positive influence but also a negative one. two weeks in a row their defence have tried playing the ball out the back or overcomplicated things, only to be slow and misjudge the opposition. both times it's led to goals. sometimes you just need to smash the ball 60 yards instead of playing out from the back.

[Master Splinter]

Mancini on Liverpool: "These bitches are very difficult."

[Dennis Bendtner]

Playing the ball from the back is pretty standard these days. The neo Nazi freak just doesn't have the ability with his feet to be comfortable doing it.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Don't really think it's fair to blame the system, but rather the actual player(s) who fuck up.

Just like on my stream, Fox Soccer, had Drury and Beglin and the latter went on all game about zonal marking. :rolleyes:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

i think the difference is last season you would have hoofed the ball up 60 yards when under pressure but this season it seems you're insisting from playing out.

[Master Splinter]

i think the difference is last season you would have hoofed the ball up 60 yards when under pressure but this season it seems you're insisting from playing out.

Rodgers wasn't there all those times Gerrard assisted Henry and many others.

It's yet another lazy football cliche to think Squirtle's brainfart was a result of Rodgers' instant footballing revolution.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

oh of course, but modern football would be nothing without jumping to premature conclusions.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Time to relive that horror pass :ilt:

[Cripps_orig]

Rodgers doesnt blame Skrtel

[Cripps_orig]

Mick and Super Al are there

[Cripps_orig]

Borini :lol:

You cn just see him scoring next week though despite his horror start to his Liverpool career

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Did I mishear or did Mick say Rodwell could have headed the free kick had he not jumped?

[Cripps_orig]

If this Sterling dude wasnt English, would pundits still see his average performance as being awesome?

[Cripps_orig]

Did I mishear or did Mick say Rodwell could have headed the free kick had he not jumped?I think he said he could have tried to stick his head in the way or something but once he jumped, he could do nothing

[Cripps_orig]

Now the main event...

[Cripps_orig]

Cathorla :bow:

Even the highlights are boring :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ah, Wilkinson is just "committed". :rolleyes:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Ah, Wilkinson is just "committed". :rolleyes:


if that was teh tackle of vermaelen, then its a straight red, all day every day.

[Cripps_orig]

Shearer on Giroud

Hope Giroud is watching this. Shearer was fucking awesome

[Cripps_orig]

Vidic :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Spuds :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Piece on Mick McCarthy now

Hope World Cup 2002 is mentioned :popcorn:

And sticking it up his bollocks

[Cripps_orig]

Given :haha:

That guy is hilarious
