I'm calm.

After his fifth red card in 18 months or something yesterday It's funny you say that, the L'Equipe article says that he's retiring as a player because "he's a target for referees."

Edgar Davids has officially retired.

He's blatantly going to appoint himself as manager. Tan's worse than those goons (the Italian guys) at QPR.

Philippe Auclair ‏@PhilippeAuclair 5m Big storm brewing in France about Anelka's 'celebration' of his first goal ag. WHFC with a - to say the least- a v. controversial gesture. This gesture, 'la quenelle', was invented by a comedian named Dieudonne, supposedly as an 'anti-establishment' statement. But it can also be read as an inversion of the Nazi salute, and has been the subject of an official complaint by anti-racist organisations. To use it at the moment is cretinous at best. Far worse than the finger aimed at MCFC fans by Wilshere, which was rightly punished.

Anelka's celebration for his first goal is causing a bit of a stir in France apparently.

Another Remy/QPR situation Don't worry, Ashley's got Pro-Evo for the PS1 ready.

This is pretty much the first MOTD I've watched in months. This will be a treat.

Ah.

A 5-1 score line, 2 red cards (3 if you count Mark Hughes as well), 2 penalties, and other possible penalties and red cards. Yet we are 2nd last on MOTD, aye right. Eh?

It's happened two games in a row now, hmmm. My theory is that if the game is pretty much won then someone else takes the penalty but if it's a pressure situation then Shola steps up? s*** theory I know.

From a floated set piece. It is written. Also, just seen your title - when did admin turn on you?

More than likely felt sorry for Stoke...

He's been decent these past few weeks imho and he is one of the reasons why we've been in such good form and getting these good results. His decision making was suspect today but there is no way I would advocate dropping him - we need his power and determination for the Arsenal game.

Well that turned out to be glorious. Performance in the first half aside, I'm going to enjoy this win very much.

Today will the day he scores.

Boom.

The fans ruin everything.

Merry Christmas N-O hope everyone has a brilliant day!

Fairs.

Did Debuchy say "merry christmas for THE fan" f***ing hell can he count? :lol: Tbf to him, he's still probably learning the language and the French don't add S's to the end of words. Tiote did the same just there too.

Didn't he do that last time? Yep and blamed them entirely for the loss at Bordeaux.

I'm (surprisingly) not worried. Really cannot see Cabaye leaving this January - he needs to be playing consistently in the lead up to the World Cup (something we can guarantee) and I cannot see him getting that at PSG, certainly not in the middle of the season.

Hate to say it but all credit to the Scousers and Rodgers for being top of the table at Christmas time. Of course, there's that argument that without Suarez they wouldn't be in such a high position but you can apply that argument with all teams really (for instance, I'd say that without Remy's goals, we would be midtable). Whether or not they'll maintain such a position is entirely down to Rodgers - any sort of psychological event/pressure from the media and fans and we could see them slipping away from the top of PL table. Their continuing success is also down to Suarez's form - any dip and we could see them struggling a bit but unfortunately, I can see that c*** maintaining this form until the end of the season Oh boy, the above was difficult to type, really do not like writing good stuff about Liverpool and credit where credit is due... FWIW, the title is going to be City's this season (as long as they sort out their away form).
