To be honest, I wouldn't be too devestated if we got Turnbull for free. Although, I guess it would stifle the route to the first team of Forster and Krul.

In other news, they've invented the wheel.

I used to like him but he changes his mind all the fucking time. Massive ego, thinks he can influence things. And he's a hypocrite. It's almost as if he tries to be controversial on purpose. A bit like Ronaldo on here.

I hate Andy Gray.

I still can't get over that someone as small as him managed to score a header against us.

Did you shove your head on them like you did with Nixon?

Christ, come on Dave. Service with a smile and all that.

That's what I like to see. Some of Skirge's fkn optimism.

Do you honestly remember the old board as just being s***? thats exactly the point as one or two remember the old board as being only good. done well for a while then done and were doing shit at the end seems a fair summing up to me. my entire point - is that people like you who were trigger happy and just wanted rid, wanted rid of what was still a good board. So you now have what you want. You lost a good board and they were replaced by a shit owner. It might be a while before we have a good board again. This is all so simple, and has brought such volume of disagreement, its quite staggering. Don't respond, Diane , just don't get involved. Walk away slowly. Say nowt. What? You didn't think that my mam and dad named me toonlass did you? you could equally have been addressing madras Krabappel: You really have no idea how to deal with women, do you? Tamzarian: .....................Are you asking me out?

Aston Villa will win 3-0.

It's a bit like watching "Danny Baker's Goals and Gaffes". The goalies are just

Just ignore him, he only comes out after we've lost and starts talking gibberish and insulting folk.

The stupid cunt was straight in mentioning Barton's assault on that guy in Liverpool city centre when he made the tackle. As far as I know Barton isn't a drunkard anymore and it was just a badly timed and badly executed tackle. Was genuinely shocked that Burley didn't play the race card and mention that Barton's half brother murderded a young black man with an icepick.

Nailed.

This.

Christ, imagine the England team if he'd got that gig. Titus Bramble upfront and Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard omitted from the squad for not twatting the ball up the pitch at every possible opportunity.

I agree with that, but I'm afraid the part in bold won't be true for years to come.

Had more efforts on goal than oba. No he didn't. Oba had that shot that flashed over in the opening exchanges, and Lovenkrands did that passback to Reina when he got in behind.

That haircut in 2002.

Even if that were true (which I doubt), the only person to blame for his reputation is him. In which case he's even fucking thicker for making the 'tackle'. Just because he's got a reputation doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to go for tackles anymore. Did you see Alonso on that stretcher? You'd have thought he was lying on a sunbed in spain, not supposedly in a lot of pain recovering from the challenge. Barton deserves the same treatment as anyone else on the pitch, regardless of what he's done in the past. You see players like Gerrard go in like that all the time and getting praised for their commitment. I think Shearer's post match comments about it where rash and ott, shouldn't have hung him out to dry like that. Alonso's reaction makes no difference, and neither do the tackles others have put in in the past. It was a ridiculous challenge from Barton and got what it deserved. No doubt he was told to control himself and he fucking didn't. Shearer called it perfectly IMO, he's fully entitled to be fucked off considering probably our best midfielder is now unavailable for the rest of the season.

Shearer has put his faith in Barton and he's let the club down, for about the fourth time. He's finished here, the cunt should have his contract rammed in his eye and get that City kid down to burn it into ashes with a cigar.

What pissed me off the most was the way that cunt Burley was straight in mentioning how he twatted some bloke in Liverpool city centre. When in actual fact that had nothing to do with that, because he's no longer a drunkard. It was just a poorly timed and poorly exectued tackle from a frustrated footballer. I bet if that was Gerrard it would have been a booking. In fact, we'd be lucky to get the fucking free kick.

I'm afraid I disagree, his ball retention was fucking awful. Weaker than water, just got nudged off the ball time and again. Correctly removed at the interval.

Agger had plenty of time to line one up too. Mental. Closing players down has always been a problem. I'm actually still angry from when Giles Barnes scored at SJP for Derby last season, about four players just turned their backs as he had all the time in the world to blast it past Given. We still haven't got the basics right, we can't close down, pass effectively, track runners, players are afraid to shoot and the goalkeeper has clearly been at the all you can eat restaurant, while his defence need therapy. Oh dear.
