*sighs* Sky's ultrawank over Liverpool continues.

Sky fucking love Liverpool don't they?

Get a students (£34), the people on the turnstiles will be non-the-wiser. Hmmm. Just went back on and tried this and sure enough I can change the ticket to "student" which brings the price down to a slightly more acceptable £34. The £8 saving is my 4 pre match pints in the Bulls but will they not ask for student ID or owt at the turnstile? Must admit usually the turnstile operators don't really seem to give a s*** although i've always had an adult ticket since the electronic turnstiles came into operation a few years ago, and there aren't normally any stewards around once you are through the turnstile. Could be worth the risk. I don't think they care, try to pick out an old-looking woman or something. When i went in the SE Corner for a cup game (forgot who), a bought a kids and when a went through the turnstiles he said "you don't look like a kid" but still let is through. So it probablies will be worth the risk, and anyway you could be doing a adult course @ Newcastle College for all they know! I've bought it now. £34. I'm only 32 and could probably pass for late 20's so hopefully there'll be no problem with me looking too old. Putting myself in the turnstile operators shoes I couldn't be arsed holding up a big queue of people to check if someone has a student ID or not and if they do say owt i'll just say I haven't got anything on me but I had to prove I was a student when I bought the ticket at the ticket office a week earlier. You have the mind of a criminal genius, sir. I salute you.

Presume Tozer isn't going to be good enough? Injury ruined him, supposedly.

In an ideal world. But I can't see us bringing in more than 6 players if Enrique goes. 2x strikers, 1x LB, 1x RW, 1x back-up RB, 1 back-up CB to replace Campbell would be greater priorities than replacing Williamson, surely. Not saying we don't eventually need better, but I'd have thought he'd do until the next summer.

He brought it on himself.

Please be of an electric nature and involving Steven Taylor just prior to kick-off.

Can I help?

You can tell Ranger's pretty brain dead.

They don't even have Europe to offer anymore. Liverpool doesn't make sense. He should see out his contract, and see what we can offer next season with new signings and Ben Arfa. If he still wants to leave, fine. But we're on the up. Can Liverpool really say the same?

Pardew said he was fit during the week, but ironically couldn't play anyway.

This. Hughton would never have done it, but I understand why Pardew tried it given the circumstances. He might even have got away with it had Coloccini been playing in front of someone other than Saylor, and beside Tiote. But it's an experiment. It failed. Pardew'll learn, and we'll move on.

Hoping for: Harper Simpson Williamson Coloccini Enrique Barton Tiote Ireland Jonas Ameobi Lovenkrands Subs: Krul, R. Taylor, S. Taylor, Ferguson, Guthrie, Kuqi, Ranger Wouldn't mind Guthrie being in for Ireland if he's still not right, but I understand he was fit for today's game against Villa. 1-2 loss. Lovenkrands Rooney, Giggs

This.

He needs sold before his value decreases even further. Sell for £5m and replace with another Williamson-style signing. Solid, no-nonsense cover.

Harper - 7.5 Simpson - 6.5 Taylor - 2 Williamson - 7 Enrique - 5 Barton - 4 Guthrie - 5.5 Coloccini - 5 Jonas - 6.5 Ranger - 4 Lovenkrands - 5.5 Raylor - 5.5 (feckin' sweet cross, mind) Kuqi - 5

...

Wasn't 100% for definite. Calf Muscle Strain from the last game hadn't quite gone away.

It'd have been fun to play them with Best, Ameobi, Ben Arfa, Gosling, Smith, Perch, Tiote, Nolan, Vuckic, Ireland, Kadar, Campbell, Routledge, Xisco and LuaLua available, but hey. What's a player or two?

Aye it can, cos unless it's a Tesco's extra it'll have shut at 4

Positives: Harper was great Williamson was solid, and Guthrie was better than expected. Jonas had a great first half. Negatives: Ranger was awful. Jose's heart doesn't look in it at the minute, but he's still quality. Coloccini not a CM. Imagine that. Barton's worst performance for us this season. Needs to shut his mouth and do his talking on the pitch.

This.

massive let-down incoming

True that.
