He's been directly responsible for winning us something like 10+ points this season. Of course he deserves a new contract. (Yeah, yeah "cost us more than that with his shitty general play etc. etc.)

On that note, wage to turnover(budget) ratio for my "company" is... approximately 8% Yeah, we're not much of a people business.

Aye, I'm just never going to get up that early in the morning to watch FC So Much Better than Us play Real Might as Well Be on a Different Planet

I hope we'll get to play Barcelona in a competitive match sometime before the end of Messi's career. Just sad I don't get to watch more of them because I really can't be arsed with the Champions League.

There's something about that city that makes people who live there just as thick as the natives.

Ugh. I'd almost forgotten what he looked like.

Maybe Chelsea? Feels like there might be a desperation summer coming from Roman.

Ethi commits the forum equivalent of Seppuku.

The question we should be asking isn't necessarily "how much better would we be with someone else" but rather "would we even be in this position with someone else?" Pardew isn't perfect but he has his strengths and most importantly, he's the right fit for the club. Sometimes fit is more important than ability. There is no doubt in my mind that Kevin Keegan is a tactically superior manager, but he was the wrong fit. Look how that turned out.

Profit (This post brought to you by N-O circa summer 2011)

It's mental that he's going to spend his entire career here. That in itself makes him special despite his shitness I suppose.

Our players aren't that good.

9PM kickoff this week, 5am kickoff next week.

Probably some mixture of wanting to boost Ba's (slim) chances of becoming top scorer and superstition about the player who won the penalty not actually taking the kick?

Needs to be played if only because he's the only winger we have who actually does wide play (other than err... Obertan ) Obviously he has his downfalls and I understand partially why he's not in the squad but the team is just flat-out non-functional with Jonas on one side and Raylor on the other. When we're up against somebody with Sunderland who has the height at the back to cut out long balls and stuffs the center of the pitch to keep Cabaye out of the game, the only way we're ever getting through is by playing wide. As it stands we can't do that without Ben Arfa, so we're just going to have to suck up his faults and figure out how to play him anyway. Hopefully Pardew now realizes this.

Draw that feels like a win that feels like a loss. Ah, whatever. Not losing is always good enough for this fixture.

That's awesome

Bunch of Korean people getting together in town for this. So nice of them to schedule the early kickoff (8PM, live on TV) for our benefit.

Ah, the sweet, sweet sound of anguish at Anfield.

Korean commentator: "Liverpool are so desperate to get a goal now, they're even bringing on Andy Carroll."

Van Persie is like cheating.

That thread title is just so... Beautiful

Who's that advertisement supposed to be aimed at anyway? The players?
