Chris Hughton has found an excellent recipe for away games. Big Fat Sam, please note, this is far better than your utterly fucking retarded notion of grinding out a 0-0 at Derby or Reading (which resulted in us losing both games).

Same team please, make any changes needed due to fitness against Fulham.

I really like Colin Murray but this just isn't his thing. For someone who's so funny and insightful on Fighting Talk, he makes MOTD2 seem so awkward.

Did anyone notice that the commentator said during the red card bit: "And Ranger's got goalside of Koscielny here, and he's brought down... that'll be a freekick! It's just going to be yellow I think. Oh, it IS red!" Errr, no mate, you never mentioned a red card in the first place.

No goalkeeper? That's brave.

The absolute epitome of a 'confidence player'. Roeder loved him, Bobby loved him (to a lesser extent maybe), and Hughton clearly does too - and it shows under each of those. EDIT: and as Otter has pointed out, so did Kinnear. I had forgotten about him, happy times.

Tiote will have a 'rest' due to suspension soon anyway, be silly to drop him. I'd maybe rest a few players but I'm at a loss as to who to drop.

Actually, Murray is a bit like Shearer in that he's careful not to focus on 'his club' too much. He did a bit on Fighting Talk last week when someone made a similar accusation to what you just have and he said that he puts sentiment to one side. MOTD hasn't been a Liverpool centric show for a while now, even with Hansen and Lawro as the two main pundits.

There was two - Krul's class save from Nasri and Fabregas heading straight at Krul with about 10 left. That's it.

He backed off on one particular breakaway in the first half and then made an excellent challenge, the one that also injured Nasri. Two birds, one stone and all that.

Not really, we've had about four games in a row on Sky.

I thought it was him who was pregnant for a moment, he's got a tremendous kite on him.

Balotelli got both. Not Tevez. Sorry. He's on my bench, it's reet.

Us: Barton's freekick The goal Them: Nasri's in the first half Cesc's diving header I make that 2 each, you stupid cunt Arsene. (yes, they hit the bar 3 times but they aren't shots on target )

Ronaldo, that's such a blatant attempt to big up Coloccini by giving Williamson a paltry mark.

Who got the Man City goals?

2-0 win.

3 x suit 3 x wins

Excellent today.

Skysports.com man of the match. I probably have to agree, although .1 in it between him and Carroll.
