Taylor Swift

Nice goal.

Modric is the attacking midfield version of Coloccini; every touch is class.

Our shit defenders - R Taylor and Simpson - know they're shit; that's why they're always so nervous on the ball.

Someone needs to give Obertan a fucking slap.

Shame the ball didn't hit the net. I didn't really celebrate until he celebrated.

bA!!!!

Pardew will get a lot of shit if Ameobi or Lovenkrands ends up on the pitch before Ben Arfa or Marveaux.

Are you saying we're challengers for fourth? They don't look anything special. Apart from their good first ten or so minutes, it's been us who have had the better of it, which confirms the fact that we have a pretty damn good team. We haven't created any good chances yet but we've kept their attackers very quiet and lost a goal because of a bad mistake by two players. We can still turn this around if we bring on the players who are obviously better than their teammates currently starting - Ben Arfa and Marveaux.

What the fuck, Simpson?

Cabaye lost the ball to whoever it was that passed to Adebayor. He appealed for a foul but they never showed a replay.

Great ball, Cabaye.

Obertan really does lack confidence. He's got potential but I guess we'll have to wait a while until he starts fulfilling it. It's obvious that there are much better options on the bench, though, so it's hugely frustrating to watch him lose the ball time and time again in good positions.

When van der Vaart drops deep, our midfield can't pressure them because they always have one man available. Best or Ba have to drop back to help.

What a goal.

Still 5th if we lose

van Persie is class.

Arsenal have had a shit start but if they win today they're only 4 points behind Liverpool.

van Persie, after 29 seconds

That happened in January 2011, so we'll hear about that in 2012. I think. I'm not sure when the fiscal year ends in football.

Hopefully Lennon is out. He got the better of Simpson last year and that was because he was forced to shift to the left because Enrique had him covered on the right. Now he's got Taylor on the left and Simpson on the right; easy pickings. Bale will piss on Simpson. I'd play 5 in the middle and try to control as much of the possession as possible, while leaving the FBs behind to prevent their wingers from counter-attacking. It would also be great if Adebayor is out. I think we can trouble them, and we should be able to score a couple of goals with some more good displays from our midfielders, but defending their offensive players will be the toughest task.

Exactly. Jones has been good when defending but his touches have been very poor when Man Utd are in Liverpool's half.

LeBron will be at Anfield on Saturday. This will possibly be the first time that I'll support Man Utd in a match.

Hopefully it's a sell-out. A point would be a good result, but hopefully we can nick it in an entertaining 3-2 game.

Dreamboat? He's no Ellsbury.

And I never said he isn't due any credit, by the way. He just isn't due as much credit as he's been given. We're undefeated so everyone's feeling good and praise is being dished out to all and sundry but Pardew's not as responsible for this good start as some think, in my opinion.
