The Prophet

He's winning me over.

Nah

Man their whinging is utterly pathetic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Barton's challange, it's one footed, it's along the ground and he wins the ball. No one condone's what Barton has done in the past, he openly admits himself he needed to change and has taking steps in his life to sort it and in a way I admire him for that. However the attention he receives whenever he remotely bats an eyelid is pathetic, you don't like him, we get it. As for the ref conspiracy, what a load of shite. The linesman got two major calls wrong, disallowing Best's first and awarding a penalty for our third, they pretty much evened each other out. As for the Diaby/Nolan deabte Dowd clearly sent Diaby off for two pushes, one on Barton and one on Nolan, Nolan was given a yllow for one. Dowd isn't a particularly good ref but at least he was consistent at this occassion. Without doubt I'm looking at this with black and white tinted specs but there you go. Arsenal have bigger problems then they seem to realise, they absolutely capitualted in that second half. Instead of whinging on about the ref they might want to take a look at their own players to see why they squandered a four goal lead.

My mackem mate claims the rags have been carrying a story about Bent ragging Bruce's daughter. Any truth?

Daglish is giving Parky a good hiding here like.

Meireles is class, always has been.

I still don't think the third was a penalty but having seen it again what was Rosicky playing at? Completely needless.

Christ. I have an irrational hatred of the guy but it's still suprising.

Should at least attempt to tie the lad down on a new deal with an improved wage.

Whatever happened to ball to hand?

Today was amazing, but mauling the mackems just edges it.

Bitch.

Newcastle cost me my bet, I can forgive them.

So basically he hasn't signed his new deal and Carroll has left, sounds like potential 2+2=5 stuff.

We've seen Ranger isn't much better when he is getting service, ala West Ham.

Do elaborate. I don't really think there's much pressure on him, the crowd more or less give him their full support. I've said on numerous occasions I think he needs loaning out because as it stand I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest he's going to anything better than average.

Hit the nail on the head.

The lad's a headless chicken, you can't criticise his work rate but I'm yet to see an ounce of footballing ability from him.

Got to go 4-4-1-1 for me, it's not great but our lack of a decent forward makes it the most preferable option.

I'm yet to see any of this.

Cannot remember a productive ball from them tbh into the danger zone and gutierrez made one good ball and f*** all else apart from his headless chicken routine . I dunno man. I can't help but appreciate Jonas's efforts tonight. Was very positive compared to the rest of the dross. But yes, Guthrie and Nolan, probably the worst CM pair performance I've seen. I've always hated Guthrie and he seen quite a bit of the ball at the start but after that it was embarrassing.

For the record do people realise Carroll was missing today regardless?

3 of the players you have mentioned haven't been present for the majority of the season. Today was a disgrace of a performance against a horrendous team, certainly doesn't bode well for the future. You're dramatising it a bit in fairness.
