Thank fuck.

Really hope you're right mate, I'm fucking sick.

Lyh have definitely got dodgy telly and should have it on, not sure about Centurions.

Bolton sold out in a day now, Boxing Day ruined. This is the biggest scandal going on at the club to be honest, even bigger than all the other shit they try to pull. Denying their own fans the opportunity to attend games in case of a fluke situation where the biggest away following in the country doesn't sell out one fucking game and it costs them a couple of grand/hundred/quid. Pitiful set of cunts they are.

Oh man don't get me started.

9-1 and that.

Getting to the point where even the mackems would be embarrassed by this bloke's shit crack.

That is a true story though. A very, very well known "Gremlin" will also back that story up. Sorry if this upsets you. http://images.wikia.com/gremlins/images/2/22/Gremlins_2_The_New_Batch_1484_Medium02.png :lol:

It's fuck all to do with Jonas or Ben Arfa and everything to do with him knowing zip about football, makes Mike Ashley look like Gabriel Marcotti. Thick as bloody mince.

Just shake hands ffs, God!

Providing key players are fit, there's absolutely no reason we shouldn't be looking to beat them in a fortnight.

Ugh absolute cunts.

Redknapp and Souness. Very fair on Chelsea having them two in.

It's not great though is it? He's made less appearances at his age than King, Woodgate and Dyer had, and I don't think ability is the issue because he's clearly a quality player. Don't think there's anything wrong with having concerns about this same injury having flared up yet again. Nowt wrong with concerns, I do have a few as well. To say 'royally bummed' and 'Liverpool dodged a bullet' is a bit much a bit too soon isn't it? With Marveaux I think we've already seen he's got loads of quality and so even if he misses parts of a season we'll still get a fair bit of benefit from him, a bit like King with Spurs.

Taylor and Shola both greeted him, I assumed it was some sort of U-21s connection, especially since Platt's at City now. No idea who he is though.

It did look like he was going to let play go on if Toure had picked it up instead though. But that would have been okay, going by the current mental rules. Toure wasn't offside. The only person who fucked up was Aguero. Isn't that the point James was making? The rule is farcical if it deems Aguero wasn't active - the defence have stopped because the player who the ball has gone to is miles offside - by definition, that makes him offside and active imo.

I think the word 'deliberate' implies that he's made a decision to do this. The natural reaction is to make yourself as big as possible and unfortunately it's hit his arm but it's not deliberate, why the hell would you do that deliberately? I don't deny for a second that it's a penalty but the law is ridiculous IMO.

I've made this point before, the deliberate handball rule is a farce. Was it deliberate? Absolutely not. Was it a penalty? Yes, every time. Yet by law it has to be deliberate to be a penalty. The law really needs rewording IMO.

Nike on a Puma shirt? More chance of me getting my new 'Mike Ashley is an arsehole' company on the shirt.

Love the way he played today, without fear.

Love how we lost, they didn't, and yet in practical terms we still bettered their result.

That'll be the real test, not whether we get anything off these three (although I certainly fancy us to get a point against Chelsea at least) but how we respond when we get back to the bread and butter games after one or more defeats. Couldn't have picked four more favourable fixtures to follow really.
