Colos Short and Curlies

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?

Kev should get Daveed to give him a call, let young Zog learn of the past master how much of a hero a french left inger can be in a Keegan team and how Kev likes to play the game. New contract you say charles?............

From the replay Gok Wan was offside anyway

everton villa city and pompey have done it. you just need to spend smart, thats all. 2 Years till the next ANC, Africans are the way to go here.

If only Smith could score as regularly as he gets booked

Hold on. Smith's playing? Define playng for me.

So second half would you replace Smith or Owen with Dukes?

You say this after almost every game, mate. Still a lot of positives for you to take from today like, hell of a match. Evra handball = clear cut pen Nani = Clear cut red card 50/50's all going united way Spurs never had a decision go for them?. Maybe the big 4 do get more decisions, or maybe it jsut seems that way cos no one cares if a red card isn't given in a Wigan v Derby game for example?

Want Sunderland to win. Will be much better for football in general if the dominance of the Big 4 is broken. Christ almighty. That'd put Sunderland 1 point behind us man! Compromise - Draw! Or even better, a mass brawl and 10 point deduction for each team

Love it when Hartlepool score/concede

It was only a joke mate. Blatently had terrible acne as a kid! Pre season tour to Middlesborough tbh

Is he lying? Reminds me of the 'Cole talk'. You've got to trust me etc etc. He did us proud then

Whether they are Given's fault or not I bet all opposition coaches have data on he number of long range efforts flying past him this season and instruct players to 'have a pop'. Flamini must have tried it 4 or 5 times over the 2 games

Ok then Dukes Zoggy Duff Emre Milner Barton Lets face it, Owen aint gonna make 7 in a row is he

No Zog - 5 card trick

They didnt play that well in the two games we played them and were still miles in front of us i agree and Sundays game is Vital "They didn't play that well" - have a word. Insane comment. Arsenal in the first half were second only to Man Utd's 6-0, in terms of quality we've played this season imo. I haven't seen a side pass that well against us this season, they were quality. Second half, we were just gash and they just continued to clutch us snug in their palm. A good team know when the opposition is beat and stifle the game. Arsenal did this to perfection second half today

Owen Zog Duff Emre Milner Barton I know! Why did you just put that instead then? Our MotM even though he only played like 30 minutes Can't see him lasting 90 mins tbh. Though could do worse than giving him the first 60 then bringing on Butt or someone

And in more good news, we don't have to play them again this season!

Owen Zog Duff Emre Milner Butt I know!

Its tight and and I am fearful for being dragged right into it but f****** hell. KK couldnt have had a much tougher start than this could he ? SSN said another Goal of the Season for No 2 You have to wonder why so many people fancy their chances from range against Given this season. 2 years ago Flamini's shot was saved :lol: what's so funny? It almost sounds like someone he's blaming Given for the goal. Not blaming him for the goal, just pointing out that he used to save wonder strikes like that. An injury like he suffered would restrict anyones mobility, we've been spoilt by having an amzing goalkeeper for the past 10 years or so, now we've just got a very good one.

Owen Zog Duff Emre Milner Butt

Debut against us Doh. Work permit?
