Colos Short and Curlies

Probably because there was nothing he could have done about any of those 3 goals. The only goal yesterday where the keeper could have done better was the first, most keepers would have cut out Ronald's cross, Given once again, seemed rooted and just watched it sail by. I actually thought that Rooney's second was savable. Was at a good height for the keeper, didn't have to stretch up or get down to it. Put it this way David James would have saved it. I'm putting it down to Harper not playing enough football therefore his reactions aren't quite where they should (could?) be. Never understood why he doesn't play for the reserves every now and then just to keep him sharp.

I can't see it tbh, we've still got two or three very winnable games at home which should see us safe. Too close for comfort though, I doubt we'll go any higher than we currently are and could finish a few lower.

I wouldn't be against selling anyone to be honest. Some players I rate but we need as clean a slate as humanly possible from the summer and no one has shown themselves to be indespensible this season

Even the ref is against us. That HAD to be a yellow for Smith there.

Right. Given has boiled my piss now. He has done nothing in terms of stretching in the first half therefore it leads me to think he wasn't anywhere near 100% today. He should know that as a keeper if there is a decent risk of an injury flaring up you don't put yourself forward for selection.

fyp

Ronaldo may be a class player, but he doesn't half have a face you would just love to give a good slap to

Nah. Blackburn and Fulham at home . If we can't beat them........

Meh. 6 points from our next 4 games are a must however. And should be attainable

I aint prepared to give Ronney 5 mins tbh. Striaght from Kick off, or even better in the tunnel

Here's me thinking it was a South Park reference!

Torres 3

Really looking forward to seeing the team picked. Should be fascinating. I reckon it would be quite a god laugh seeing the team read out, especially if you get someone like Luque who is forever on the bench. Some of the reactions must be priceless. Edit - think Lehman getting dropped, or if terry is on the bench tomorrow

Just seen it in slow mo - horrible challenge but mistimed and due to Taylor being a bit crap rather than a deliberate leg breaker. Keane on Alfie was worse imo

The beeb are about as accurate as the NOTW these days

Don't make me come in there with my bitch stick boys! The silver back accountant is in the building!

If Oba aint fit play Zoggy behind Owen Harper Beye Taylor Cacapa (really we need 2 Fayes....) Enrique Milner Faye Emre/Barton Duff Zog Martins If Obas fit rest Milner, Duff right Zog left

Defining Terry Macs role

Steve Howey?

Those 2 newspaper reports are FM tastic, Manager praises player, player praises manager etc

From someone who lived there for over 5 years, bar match days its rare to see anyone in footy shirts in Liverpool

Reckon Ashley Cole is more likely to leave Chelsea than Bridge

i think you've been reading too many shite articles about us in the media. Not really. I mostly just read this board. I'm talking from the perspective of a Liverpool fan here. You DO have little patience with managers relative to us and you do demand attacking football relative to us[\b]. Liverpool fans in the main won't judge a player or manager before his second season; you lot are often baying for blood after a few months. In fairness, Shepherd did have a habit of signing shite managers, though. Patience ? You have no idea of what patience is mate. Not knocking you but you think going 17 years without winning the title is some sort of disaster, with a few FA Cups and the European Cup thrown in as consolation. Thats what johnny means, I think, apologies if it isn't, but this along with the comment about attractive football is what you don't understand. You don't understand that managers who bore the pants off us only last as long as they are winning, and we have got rid of the ones who did this because they were losing games as well as boring the pants off us. Whats to bad about that ? I don't think any of us would really have cared about Allardyces style of play if we were in the top 4, or in the League Cup Final next week, but even realistically, we were increasingly looking at a manager who didn't know what he was doing, even ones who were happy with him when he took the job, like myself. I understand that completely. For all our cups, in those 17 years we haven't recovered from what Souness did to our club. It's a hell of a lot to expect that Allardyce could sort yours out after that dick's reign with one transfer window, as Roeder hardly brought you forward. The thing about boring football is, winning or losing, without a great defence you won't win anything, ever. The top sides in the league, and particularly the Champions League, are the ones that concede the fewest goals not the ones that score the most. You think losing 4-3 is better than losing 1-0 but it isn't. Potentially losing 4-3 is better than losing 1-0. Same goal difference but more goals scored. Could be worth a position at the end of the season

Carson in the summer. Harper until then

Who the hell is going to go and see Wigan v Reading at a far away neutral ground?
