I don't know about defensive. They scored 102 league goals in 2010-11 and are on pace for 134 (67 halfway) 2011-2012.

5 points clear in the league halfway through the season. Even counting on losing again to Barca I think they've got more than enough to win La Liga, which is probably his only shot at staying past the summer. Copa del Rey won't be enough (should they somehow get past the 1-2 loss to Barca) and Champions League also probably not enough.

You know I don't think these lowball bids are just a cheeky way of providing the illusion "we tried", they're just how those jerks operate. Always going to be haggling.

Got to say, I think that keeper stare celebration after converting a penalty is infuriatingly low class, even for a twat like him.

Lescott scoring the goal equivalent of his haircut

Sow off, Cisse on. e: by 4 bastard seconds

Ritchie and maybe_next_year messing with my head

OOooooh Ba

is this a 4-2-4 I don't know what's happening

Sow with a shot coming close. Ba looking isolated

Sounds like it may have accelerated the inevitable, given his scoring record at that level. Good luck to him.

Think he could do a job at CB like - tall, quick, good header of the ball how hard can it be to teach him to tackle?

Performances have plummeted from "passingly acceptable" to "Is that Alan Smith in a Shola mask?" levels so quick it almost seems like he's playing through injury again. Hip/Hernia/Whatever it is now if I was Pardew I'd order a full medical on him.

We've been massively fortunate. Yup. Surprised we didn't ship ten with Shola in the side. It's enough that it feels like playing with ten with him in the side

Hello, Liverpool. You're quite. Good at. [computer pauses forever]

durrr he he shola will be here forever and I'm happy he is durrr

They changed things up, we didn't respond. Couple of utter turd performances 2nd half. Should have been over after 45 tbh.

Trying to be happy for him and hate his guts at the same time. Can't be a silver lining man. The key here is to hate international football altogether. I'd have taken the USMNT plane water landing in the pacific and dempsy's cries for help waking the sharks if it meant 3 points today.

GAMECHANGER

Are we changing anything? I don't hear about anyone warming up.

Ugh.

I want to die

fuck everything
