How close are we to Villa and Everton?

It has been great watching Liverpool struggle recently but they have an annoying habit of making a much bigger effort in the big games. I am bringing my daughter across for her first game so I just hope we get a goal at least. If we start well and have the confidence to go for it then it could be a memorable day.

Its a breach fair enough but you can't really lock people up for simply being in a city centre. Unless there was a further aggravating feature, bail would unlikely have been opposed. Well, I know you're the one who knows this stuff so I'll bow to your knowledge What I'm confused about is...the condition of the original bail was he was not to set foot in the city. But he broke this and therefore broke the bail conditions. But all the judge seems to have done is re-apply the same conditions. So I'm confused to the point of them in the first place. Seems he can just go back into town and he'll only go back to square one I'm missing something...I'm sure As Otter says, he has done nothing wrong bar being in the exclusion zone as set by his bail. Bail conditions are there to lessen the likelihood of a repeat of the same offence, so Police have an immediate power of arrest before he gets close to another fight or whatever. Whilst there appears to be no punishment for the breach, it is something which will be considered at his court date.

The fact he has had a defib on from very early on and constant CPR means he has a strong chance still, the sooner the defib is applied the better the chance, once it goes beyond ten minutes or so without that chances plummet drastically unfortunately.

should be 4 or 5 if they could finish

Never understood the point of pouring water over a sore foot, surely he now just has a sore, wet foot as opposed to a sore one.

Seems to me that Cabaye has been told to sit deeper than Tiote. I would swap them two and also send Obertan out right and give Ben Arfa the free role. Interesting what Pardew said in the week about needing to be still in the game with 15 to go. I wonder if there is any chance of us going two up front if its still level then.

Talksport (I know) reporting that Pardew has said Ba staying depends on us getting into Europe. Any idea where this has came from?

Looking at the table, is Liverpool's game in hand against Everton? Home or away?

Which Man United players?

I expected the midfield to be a whole choice of names but in the end struggled to come up with Dempsey. Left back was tricky too. RVP has to be player of the season.

Apologies if this is too early but I was just wondering which, if any, of our players may be in with a shout for this. For me Krul and Ba must be considered but I cant really make a case for anyone else. Midfield will be interesting as the usual favourites will be expected but is there room for Parker and Scholes when you consider the season Man City have had? I expect Hart will be in goal but surely Krul must be close and there is only one space left alongside RVP but who stands out more than Ba? My Team: Krul Walker Kompany Skrtel Assou-Ekotto Yaya Toure Silva Dempsey Bale RVP Ba

If Bruce is offered the job I can see him stalling til after they play us. Would be ideal to have him in charge when we play them but second best is no manager at all still.

HMRC filing for that would make a huge difference. I think it would mean the administator would be in there with the prime objective of paying the debts, ie a firesale.

No Suarez???

Assou-ekkotu got away with an awful challenge last night that the ref apparently didnt see. I wonder if we will hear anything about that.

All ifs and buts, BUT IF things stay the same, and IF we win tomorrow, we will only be two points behind Chelsea.

Ben Amos starts in goal for man united

How old can Darren Caskey be? Am I right in thinking that I am now older than the players dads??

Where did the three posts go from just after 7pm? EDIT: My mistake, for some reason we are discussing the game in the Mariappa thread.

Thats an understatement, there's only 10 of them!

I remember a similar thing from alan robson one night on the radio saying there would be news of a huge signing for newcastle in the journal.spent the night dreaming of pedro returning and rushed to the shops in the morning to find the bloody flashing blade himself was the new announce.

Who was that about?

WTF is going on with the white stripe below the sponsor on the home shirt?

WTF?
