12 month rolling contract which doubles Hughton's wage will keep everyone happy. I know it's been suggested before but it would definitely make sense for all parties

Messi. £100m

You forgot the word "Special" 'Famous'. Memorable. 'Unique'

Hodgson looks absolutely lost. Liverpool may well get a draw out of this but they've looked dreadful. As bad as I've ever seen Liverpool I think and could well finish in the bottom half unless something drastic happens to the club.

First sign that they are going the cheap route with youth development and all that guff. Personally I think his main job will be overlooking the transition from Hodgson to the next manager. Ladies and gentlemen, met your new *ahem*......."Director of Football Strategy"..... What the fuck does that mean btw?

Eh? that would more than likely ruin him. Why? Playing abroad for a team like Real or Barca would be fantastic for him. He's young enough that even if it didn't work out he cold come back a stronger person and better for the experience. If he played well he'd be absolutely adored by both sets of fans. Worst case scenario would be if he went and didn't get a game. He'd be back in a year or 2 playing for Man Utd.

Why can't the Napoli fans scattered outside and in the home end just go in with the Napoli fans? Not like there's a shortage of space, there's hundreds and hundreds of empty seats right next to the away section...

It's hard not to be impressed with Bale tbh. To have a pair of games against the European champions like he has will have put him near the top of every shopping list of huge clubs all over Europe. Quality LW like Bale are in short supply and the fact the lad is only about 21 means he'll develop and get better. Honestly, the best thing he could do is move to either Barca or Real in the summer. Would be the making of him.

Lovely goal. Poor defending again though. Far too easy for Napoli to just play through them.

Just had to turn the telly down on the wallpushers game. The crowd noise is just deafening man.

If Liverpool use him in the right way I think it might just work out for them unfortunately.

Less games = less money = never happen. Who gives a fuck what it looks like as long as it brings the £££ in?

Wow.

Went into work today and didn't even mention the game at all to them. They were obviously expecting me to give it out but I played it down which, surprisingly, made them even more annoyed. Couldn't keep it going for too long and went for the 'sarcastic twat' angle on things.

No you don't.

When you've just been cunted 5-1 by your local rivals, the game you'd really want next is Stoke. [/raises a glass for horrific injuries and sendings-off]

Was superb. Couldn't fault his performance at all, he did the lot. First player I'd have given a 10/10 rating for this season. Was faultless from start to finish.

Wouldn't give a bucket of piss for the opinion of Barry Geldening tbh, nor any other 'football journalist'. They're cunts.

Cast-iron red btw. Carroll's next touch of the ball was a strike on goal. Forget the 'last man' shite, Carroll was in on goal and he denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity. He was turboshit.

Was sensational today. I've slagged the bloke off more than most but he really played today. Hats off to him.

Dowd went to his pocket and would have given him a straight red had he not had a few seconds to calm down and take stock. Should have been a red. Easily.

No he didn't. He shrugged his shoulders. Since when has a shrug of the shoulders been the sign for play on? play on is when the ref puts both arms out infornt and Clattenburg never did that once. The ref has to give a clear indication/sign that he's waving play on so the player understands fully. A shrug of the shoulders is not play on. How long has Gomes been playing professional football? The bloke knew he picked the ball up and he should have distributed it asap. He doesn't need to be told to 'play on' by the ref or anyone else because it was so blatantly obvious that it was a case of the keeper just getting the game restarted by bowling it out or kicking it from his hands. I do think the ref was wrong to let it stand but to absolve Gomes of any blame is fucking bonkers. They both fucked up.

'Bent and 10 others' FC. No better than Barsnley and Coventry. They are literally 1 injury away from being relegated to the CCC. They've got Bent and absolutely NOTHING else. Rubbish team, rubbish fans and they still walk in our shadow.
