Nice Subway lapel pins--PLURAL--Pele. It's always sad to see old whores.

 

[blueguitar322]

Oh Lallana - should be 1-1

 

[DLew On Roids]

Can somebody remind me when the last time Sterling did something other than run directly at his defender and lose the ball?

Once he loses his pace, what is he going to offer?

The Michael Owen question.

He's out of place on the wing, sure, but you have a point. If City want to pay £50M+ for him, be my guest.

 

[SocrManiac]

Indeed. I think I'd prefer the transfer fee at this point.

 

[DLew On Roids]

New category of annoying American soccer fan: the guy who goes to the bar to sing instead of watching the FUCKING MATCH. We all have access to YouTube, asshole. I blame the Seattle Sounders.

Seriously, why try to start songs about Maxi Rodriguez and Peter Crouch? Shut up SUPERFAN.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Was he alone or with a fan club? I'm guessing alone. And neckbeardy.

 

[Zomp]

The quality of play from BOTH squads between the match at Old Trafford and now is unbelievably different.
 
The midfield 3 of United have done very well so far.  Rooney has been invisible.

I think that United's midfield dominance can be attributed to a miserable day from Liverpool's midfield. Sturridge isn't on an island, he's on the moon.

 

[SocrManiac]

I think the play of Sterling, Lallana, and Sturridge has been masked and forgiven by Henderson and Coutinho of late. They've been out of form for some weeks and it's resulting in looking quite toothless.

Lallana's miss was shocking and inexcusable.

Sure, but Fellaini is bullying everyone and their sisters out there today.

Agree 100%. Your guys have been outstanding. Not the terrifying attack of last Sunday's first half, but that's probably unsustainable for anyone.

 

[DLew On Roids]

The singing buffoon is a hipster. SHOCKING.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

WHAT?!?????

 

[Zomp]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zomp]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That's about as adventurous of a 45 second performance I've ever seen.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Wow

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ha, I gave him too much time, it was actually 32 seconds.

 

[Zomp]

The commentators are idiots.  There was nothing wrong with his first challenge.  It was perfect.  The card is for the stamp only and is the correct decision.

 

[blueguitar322]

Speechless.

 

[Bailey10]

Hahahahahaha.
 
Another slip eh Stevie???

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Hockey shifts last longer than that.

 

[blueguitar322]

Not only is that a loss of a man, but effectively a lost sub as well.

 

[Zomp]

Some are speculating that he did that because he was pissed at not starting.  Anything in that?

LOL. Don't ever change.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And yet, this has been Liverpool's best stretch of the game.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

This might be sacrilege, but I'd do Balotelli for Sturridge right now.

 

[Zomp]

LOL. Don't ever change.

 
...you're saying you have a problem with Gerrard's first challenge on Mata?

 

[SocrManiac]

Why? Sturridge is complete shit and needs to be called out on it.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Some are speculating that he did that because he was pissed at not starting.  Anything in that?

Uh, no. They were getting manhandled in the first half and it was an ill attempted way to take back a little bit of physical control.

 

[blueguitar322]

That should have been red imho.

Edit: on Jones

 

[Pesky Pole]

And that's a red!

 

[DLew On Roids]

There's a second red coming soon.

I'm sure Zomp will declare it wasn't a foul.

 

[SocrManiac]

Atkinson gotta Atkinson. Abhorrent refereeing.

And now DiMaria.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Is Atkinson's mother's maiden name Webb?

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Jones could have gone there.  Would have been a little harsh, but in this atmosphere he could have given it.
 
Ha, that's as deliberate a hand ball as you will ever see.

 

[SocrManiac]

Atkinson shouldn't be in EPL.

 

[SocrManiac]

After Jones recklessly leveled Lallana in the first half, too.

 

[DLew On Roids]

"Clearly not handball!!!" - Zomp

 

[candylandriots]

How does Di Maria get away with that?

 

[Investor 11]

Oh wow!!!

 

[blueguitar322]

Geez. That's game. Terrible showing by Liverpool.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Fuck this match.

 

[Catcher Block]

That was pretty.

 

[fletcherpost]

That sucks.

 

[candylandriots]

Impressive.

 

[DLew On Roids]

On the bright side, the crooning hipster finally STFU.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ha, nice pass, Di Maria.

 

[DLew On Roids]

On the bright side, the crooning hipster finally STFU.

I spoke too soon.

I might glass this cunt in short order.

 

[fletcherpost]

On the bright side, the crooning hipster finally STFU.

 
Offer him your hand in Friendship, then withdraw at the final moment.
