van Persie.

Trust me when I say that's a crap shot by Gerrard's standards.

Vidic saved Rafael from an early bath there.

Guess Liverpool ain't the club that are 'eight players short of becoming genuine title contenders', Fergie.

That dive from Rooney in the box is embarrassing. Wonder what Moyes has to say about that like.

Loss. Fulham.

Losing to one of the worst teams in the league.

Krul.

That was as close to a non-goal you can get.

Just 2 pages and it seems we're nearly halfway through the half That mascot generated more excitement than the minutes played so far.

At this rate, the post-match reaction will be on page 8.

Have no faith in Carver myself. They will surely establish some channel of communication though.

There will certainly be voices for the players to pump the longest ball up in the air.

It's quite a small number statistically like. You and your 'small sample sizes' when it comes to defending Pardew and our early cup exits. You and your inability to grasp arguments. What have I said that means that? My point is that many clubs prioritise the league over the cup, and many clubs find Europa a hassle they could do without. This is still a fact. BTW if it was up to me we would prioritise the FA Cup over everything. Is it just a coincidence then that (as per Wullie's post above) we have performed worse in the cups than all 19 other Premier League clubs over the last 7 seasons? That's very difficult to answer. We are worse than some of those teams, so that accounts for some of them. The others, I don't know enough about all the lineups, events of the match and anything else to say. The sample size is very small for it to be analysed just on numbers. I'm not seeking to explain away all out bad results. I'm saying our priorities are similar to a lot of clubs. IMO it's a problem with the structure of English football rather than us specifically. And as I said, as a fan I disagree with our priorities as I'm desperate to win a trophy. You and your flawed logic.

It'll provide some excellent evidence for the efficacy of his half time team talks though. You should know 7 games is too small a sample size for Ian.

We better win this. Fulham are a crap team destined for relegation.

Surprised the FA didn't add on any suspended ban in view of his previous.

Ref gave it, Seaman saved from Fowler only for Jason McAteer to turn in the rebound.

When he's publically saying he'd take a draw before the game, you have to wonder if that attitude fed down to the players. Too small a sample size to make any valid conclusions.

Any no-contact ban is stupid anyway as there are infinite ways to circumvent it. You could do it the troll way like Mourinho or go the subtle and technically correct 'relay to secretary who then contacts the coaches'. Provided he's not having fun with the secretary of course. I sure hope the FA adds a hefty suspended ban on top of what he rightly deserves for the offence. It should make the manager and his coaches think twice before they persist in showing indiscipline and seeking confrontations with the opposition teams.

More like the AVB sacking and a lack of available candidates that got him the job. Could certainly see Levy waiting for the WC to end before appointing van Gaal.

Mauled.
