I've had to turn the tv down. Crowd was just too noisy as the best fans in the world roared their team home. #passion #koppites #cunts

2 big decisions to make, both wrong, both going for Liverpool. The least a team should expect is a level playing field and a fair crack of the whip but Bournemouth have been totally shafted here. Game would have been completely different had their goal stood, they would have had something to defend and settled much quicker and been more composed, a 2 goal swing gained totally by the cowardice of a weak referee to give decisions in an even manner. It's fucking rigged.

Disallows a legitimate goal, allows an offside one. Both decisions going in favour of Liverpool funnily enough...

Hope he's going to give a foul every single time there's any contact in the box. That's ridiculous.

Kelly, absolute bedlam. Dread to think where we'd be had he missed.

Only a matter of time before Stones goes to Chelsea after seeing that. Exposed on a regular basis, 5 conceded already and playing catch up after just 2 games.

Early days yet, and I'm quite prepared to give the bloke 20 games as long as I can see a change in how we play, but he could do with a result sooner rather than later. The longer it goes without a win the more the pressure will build and that's not good for him personally.

They've not made any enemies in the top flight yet either. They're still everyone's favourite plucky underdog atm. That could change by the turn of the year.

Don't agree with McClaren at all but totally understand him trying to big him up publically. He's clearly trying to build the lad's confidence. Have no expectation of it working but can see why he's doing it.

Should be a cracker.

I'd take a point right now but I don't think we'll get one. Narrow defeat but if we continue to try and play good football and move the ball around then I'll take it as a positive. Need to build on the encouraging signs of Southampton and not revert to type of we lose a few, it's going to happen eventually.

Never go back. Almost never, ever works out.

He should sit tight and play it out, QPR will eventually buckle as they can't afford to see him walk for nothing in 10 months time. Austin could probably afford to go through the motions for the next 10 months.

...or is allowed to be depending on who's coaching and managing him. Virtually impossible for any player to move to a new country, language and league and prosper under the likes of Pardew and Carver. I'd be prepared to give him this season to see if he can adapt, write the first year off.

That's a 'Newcastle goal' to concede if ever I saw one.

He's not better than Colback he's fucking class.

Are West Brom aware the game has started?

No way in the world man, come on. It was more the "I've been told about the fans up here" then perpetuating the stereotype rather than dispelling it. The context may have been slightly different and it's not a big deal anyway, throwaway comment.

Thought it was remarkably similar to Pardew's shite tbh...

Wasn't much in that tackle at all tbh. Regulation, throw a leg at it and try and block it, can't see any malice there, bit rash perhaps but that's about it. Was expecting to see an absolute shocker given some of the comments at the time.

Don't know a single person who doesn't acknowledge the fact that Jack Colback runs around a lot.

M'Vila has just been sent off playing for their reserves. Headbutt.

Quite happy with the hype being built up, makes his inevitable failure back into oblivion all the sweeter. It will turn to shit, just a matter of time.

Should have just lit up in the pub tbh. Soft shite.
