Plenty of pace from Bellamy, Downing and Rodriguez against a high line. Not sure it's the way to go. Huge difference between said 3 players and N'gog/Klasnic

Get a life man. He's the pistolero Liverpool fans are so fucking cringeworthy. It was everyone else's fault poor little Louise had a shockingly poor game against Blackburn

hey fuck off man! whisky is great

The keeper was Bunn. Played an absolute blinder! That save from Carroll was equivalent to a penalty save. Awesome in goal

Ryan Taylor

Absolutely fantastic result for us!! Been a proper xmas this one and this win just adds to it. Invited to a big feast at a house full of Liverpool fans. I'll be smug all night while they cry into their mulled wine

what the fuck is this cunt of a referee?

Just managed to catch up on this story and the thread as I've been away!! f*** me what a disgusting little cretin Suarez is, and what a pathetic self aggrandizing petulant embarrassment of a football club. Cringeworthy to the point of nausea. "he'll never walk alone"

I detest the little cunt as much as the next guy, but 8 games is definitely harsh considering the evidence. The FA have to present some very good evidence to support the length of that ban. The reason I don't want Liverpool to be hard done by is because they always seem to make up for it in other ways (luck, suddenly turning good). Suarez gets 8 game ban, thrash Newcastle 6-1 and 3-0 and finish 3rd. That's a scenario I would be terrified of.

Can't believe the shit being spouted about Zidane in here The one who was overrated was always Ronaldinho. Nothing more than a ridiculously good show pony. He'd be nowhere near the top 50 in the world nevermind the top 5.

Pepe red carded for a flailing arm What a cunt of a human being this twat is. 6 red cards now in Madrid colours.

What a fucking hit by Ronaldo!! 3-0 Real, first half not over yet.

Fucking hell what a save!!!

What a great ball there by Di Maria to Cronaldo! Good goal that

Marca alreading running a piece asking for him to be called up for the EC to replace Villa. I reckon that would be a very good thing for Spain tbh. What do you think?

Agreed. And Wigan shouldn't. Playing in front of a half empty stadium at home to Chelsea ffs! I like Bobby Martinez and a couple of their players. The rest of the club is a waste of space.

Excellent film

If we let him go then we are really shooting ourselves in the foot. I am resigned to someone going in Jan, but out of Colo, Krul and Tiote I think I'd prefer Tiote to be the one to leave, simply for the fact that the other two are irreplaceable in our team at the moment. Surely even Mike Ashley in his tower at the Sports Direct Arena (f*** off with that name) can't be that greedy..... Yeah right.

Watching Montpellier at home to Toulouse. A game that includes 4 players we've been linked with in recent times. M'Bengue scored for Toulouse, Tabanou has just got himself sent off for an elbow on Montpellier skipper Mbiwa, and Olivier Giroud is the f***ing real deal!

We wouldn't have lost the game in years gone by, I don't think Swansea had a shot all game. Not on target they didn't. Had a dangerous chance that Sinclair put wide. Other than that, Krul made ONE catch from a corner, and that was it

Reckon he was running on empty by the time he was taken off. Looked fine to me.

I have no problem with the rest of what he said. Swansea did defend well, and were worth their point no doubt. I have no problem with him praising them whatsoever. The paragraph I quoted made it sound like our game plan was to contain them rather than go for the jugular. It's a sentiment I'd understand if we'd been playing away, or been playing a big side. Not Swansea at home, who've gained all of 2 points away all season!

With all due respect to Swansea, Pardew sounds like he's talking about some big hitting side. I would even understand if he'd been saying this after a game away at their place. It's still Swansea City ffs, and our aim should be to win at home no matter what. What about the 2nd half Mr. Pardew?

I think that's what it boils down to ultimately. At that stage of the game, don't really understand why we need "wingers" any more than we need creativity to unlock a defence, win dangerous freekicks or even a penalty. Ben Arfa would have put them on the back foot and should have come on for Obertan or Jonas when Shola came on for Best.

Figueroa is a massive train wreck of a footballer. Really diabolical
