That's us back to joint best defence in the league again.

Lucky twats.

Great header.

That's their default setting man, no announcement required. But yes, very good. It's quite weird, I'm presuming that they're testing some security measure but who knows what.

Fucking pillock.

"COMMENCE OPERATION ANFIELD EXERCISE"? What the fuck's that all about (Mike)?

Aguero did brilliantly before the last bit there. Nobody does wronged injustice like Liverpool fans - I think we're quite good at it but they're on another planet.

Mike fielding insults all over the shop this afternoon.

The minute's applause felt right to me, the news was very fresh and the official minute of applause was preceded by a minute or 2 of almost complete silence anyway. Everyone was muted and shellshocked so it seemed like a good opportunity to break the silence in a respectful way, wasn't exactly raucous or anything.

On what planet?

0-0 was such an obvious scoreline in FUCKING HINDSIGHT FFS. Why do I only realise after the match?

The first thing I did was click on the post to see if he'd went to the trouble of editing it. As soon as I saw him referring to dates. Honest.

Howay man, are you saying I actually believed it? Very good anyway Jon.

Wish I was a little more specific but think I was quite fair on Pardew tbh. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. I know, he's spooked me good and proper.

Wish I was a little more specific but think I was quite fair on Pardew tbh. Fucking hell, that's insane.

Ah, that answers my question. Unbelievable.

For those that watched Football Focus was he actually sat in the studio yesterday or was it a feature which would have been filmed last week. Very shaken by this, can't understand it. It's a horrible shame if he felt he couldn't reach out to anyone. Hopefully another wake up call to those that trivialise depression at every opportunity just because they can't comprehend it themselves. And what a great guy and a top player for us, a player you could be proud of. RIP Gary Speed.

You what? NUFC.com listed that as 66/1 or something pre-match. Unless they had Ba first, 66/1..? Yeah, sounds more likely that it's a FGS bet at those odds, for example a 1-1 draw between Liverpool and City with Toure FGS today is 70/1. I do seem to remember NUFC.com listing "Ba to score in a 1-1 draw" mind, although I didn't actually clock the odds.

McCleish was saying his side were OK to go ahead and play but more than happy to postpone if Swansea wanted to do so, then started talking about all of the cameras, the police, the "logistics" of it and suggested it wasn't really feasible to call it off. I think if either team were adamant that they wouldn't play then you couldn't really have stopped them or punished them retrospectively, but it does seem like the fact that it's televised has played a role in it going ahead.

This has totally knocked me for six, man. RIP Gary.

Nah, not yet.

Ben Arfa's made runs into the box from about 30 yards out twice in the last 2 games, leading to us hitting the post and getting a penalty. Would be more than happy to see Luiz playing and fannying around in his own half as usual, hopefully giving Ben Arfa the chance to do similar again.
