Kid Icarus

Evra's such a wanker

I hope I never get sick of Ally McCoist

Weirdly, Shola's best form for us by a mile was that Roeder end of the season when he was playing with a fucked hip

Doesn't exactly scream richest club in the world does it.

IIRC that was literally just Barthez stopping to call for offside when he wasn't and the game was still going on. The mad bastard.

Come on man A defender pulling up injured while chasing back and a keeper getting floored trying to stop a goal vs a 'keeper already down injured and the opposition knocking it in while they're on the floor. The descriptions are enough. I don't blame Arsenal though, it's a case of the boy who cried wolf where the modern game's concerned, years ago it might have been a given that De Gea was injured, but now there's every reason to assume the opposite.

Those are nowhere near like for like comparisons.

What and bank on the opposition believing them to the point of deliberately scoring an own goal? Aye right Flawless logic.

Kind of feel like the sporting thing there might have been to give a goal back like. Not because Arsenal did anything wrong but just in the spirit of the way I like seeing the game played more than anything. Probably the sort of thing that would be done years ago that's now just a 'fair enough' though.

Be careful disagreeing with people that don't like him by using things like examples and evidence of his success and our success with him as our manager. They'll claim that no one's allowed to say anything bad about Rafa.

Calpol's canny dangerous once you're getting into the pints tbh

They're 6 points off 6th. It's absolutely possible. Not sure about the dressing room but hard to argue with him having lost (if he ever had) the fans. Stand by what I say if he gets the time and gets his players back, but that's a massive if.

I get that like, just don't see it considering their history. Case in point, my grandad was a Scouser who lived in Bootle. Some of his kids from his first marriage support Liverpool some support Everton. No difference in passion or bitterness or whatever, just fans like most of us are. I say this all the time but you'd think our fans would know better than most not to tarnish a fanbase with the brush of its minority of melts. We're happy to whinge when it's us being misrepresented but we never apply the same logic to other club's fans like

Still maintain that if he's given the time and he gets his players back that they'd be my tip to nab 6th with a late run of form. Starting to doubt he'll be given the opportunity though.

Scouse mackems man. You're talking about a club that was last relegated from the top division in 1951 and has won trophies and played in Europe countless times over the years. We wouldn't even be Everton in that comparison let alone the Mackems.

Shamus Oldman

2-0, should be 5 tbh. Everton are playing to see more of the ball and are but going toe to toe with Liverpool is obviously complete suicide, so I'm not sure why they are.

1-0. My main mate Jordan Henderson

Outrageous that Liverpool aren't 3-0 up tbh

Already really don't like that absolutely pointless opta win probability-o-meter

As a system I don't think I'd look much further than Borussia Dortmund around 2011-13. Fantastic to watch. Kloppball basically, just with the ideal combination of players from his Dortmund and Liverpool teams. The counter press, the attacking full backs, and the quick transitions. Maybe that mixed with some utopian total football, little triangles of passing and position swapping as well.

David Rozehnal missing an open goal haunts my dreams

Derby had won by this point (against guess who) but only had 6 points and wouldn't get another point until 23rd December (against guess who )

Exactly the player I thought he was when we signed him. Consistently has an absolutely massive fuck up in him.

Leeds are never going down, I'd put much more faith in Brentford and Watford having bad runs.
