That goal for Liverpool.

'The Man Yao-nited Thread' ?

Hats off. He's grown this year, has to be said. Making progress.

One of mine called over to watch the game.

Great ball by Gouffran, someone had to attack that.

Rape these cunts!!!

"Whether you're Newcastle or United..."

Yellow kit for some reason.

A one brought up on liking dull, drab football and lies. The child didn't look Italian.

He was gonna just say "control the game" but bottled it.

What sort of child wants Pardew's autograph?

I would guess so, aye.

Every word Hargreaves says is in a different accent.

Those were people? I thought they were orks.

What has he done to warrant selection since Villa gave him the freedom of the pitch? He's started three games since then, one of which was in a role he's got no business playing. I believe he's our best player, I don't think a couple of bad performances should see him relegated to being a bystander.

BT Sport panel is glorious. They had David James in to play some techno last week, was a hell of a way to close the show.

Shola out pleases me. Ben Arfa must have raped Pardew's family or something, looks like he's out of favour.

Aye, which is why I said he should get a free role.

Not opposed to Tiote starting this one tbh, these are the kinds of game where he's most useful.

I'd like to see him given a go just off Remy through the middle. Seems Pardew is most comfortable when he's got two solid banks of four, and Ben Arfa doesn't really fit into that. He's wasted doing so much defensive work in any case. Pardew needs to go to him and tell him he's getting a free role just off the striker with fuck all defensive responsibility, tell him this is his opportunity to make the team his. See if that lights a fire under HBA.

This is Shola's tournament, Messi is just playing in it.

Playing Germany last may save your asses. Draw your first two games while the Germans win their first two. That means Germany has 1st place in the bag with a game to go, with the US sitting pretty in 2nd place with two points. A win in your last game against Germany will assure qualification. Germany, with nothing to play for, plays their reserves... who are all fucking immense... I'm not sure where I was going with this.

Uruguay aren't that great like. Couple of class players but saw a few of their qualifiers and there are a disorganised looking team. It's a tough group for sure, but there's no reason your lot can't qualify. Any combo of two from Italy, England and Uruguay is just as likely as any other IMO.
