I was only taking the mick out of dondon.
Yeah well don't; it's not nice, is it?
As well as Liverpool/Man U, there's also the prospect of Sunderland V Middlesborough, and probably QPR v Chelsea.

dondon, if I upset you, and you're feeling really down about it, then I think the best thing is to email me

YGM!!!
(And I've reported both you and the thread, expect the full weight of the banning stick and comments on Twitter).
EDIT: Those in the know will know it's very difficult to be down on Wrecsam. Posted 4 months ago # -
I think it's the best thing.

Jaysus, would you look at the state of Shearer's suit.

It's not good, is it?
Hansen dapper as always though.

Yep, I caught that.

'Parked the bus'
'And it's a red London bus' - Lawro.
Spuds equal on points with Sc...United, and only 3 points off the top!
Citeh are formidable though, no question. Mancini moaning about his squad???
Even without a natural leader on't pitch, they are still ruthless professionals.
Second half of season will be inertesting. Liverpool, Arse and Cheatski for the 4th place, that should be an intense battle. Liverpool have both teams at home too. So two proper battles with the top 3 playing for the title as well.
Liverpool really need some silverware though, even a League cup will be sumat.

Elf - whaddya think of Glen Johnson's tackle then?
Not sure Mancini was trying to get Johnson in trouble, more just some consitency - ie losing a player for 80mins & 4 matches due to one 'tackle' & was the Johnson challenge even a free kick?!

Lets address the most important issues here: Has Alan Shearer worn that suit for a bet, or what? Or had he got the dates wrong for 'dress like a pimp on telly' day?
Posted 4 months ago # -
re. Shearer's suit. It looked half finished to me, like the tailor was still sewing it together.
Whatever the reason, bloody awful. A new fashion low for sports broadcasters, and that's saying something!

Binners - surely as Utd fan there could be nothing worse than watching Liverpool/ Citeh on telly? (I include shearers suit in that...)
Posted 4 months ago # -
I spend the whole time thinking how the rules of the game could be tweaked, so that somehow they could both lose

Johnson's tackle should have been a sending off imo:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj93su6kDr4If Lescott's foot had been 6" further forward he'd have ended up with a broken ankle. Two footed, off the ground and definitely dangerous.

Based on the video +1.
More importantly any video of this suit?Posted 4 months ago # -
Its a straight red, that. No question. If Kompany's was - which I thought was harsh. Johnsons was worse.
Posted 4 months ago # -
aye and it was far worse than Kompany's tackle* ..thankfully I did stuff at half time and switched off when the game had finished so I missed the suit
I think mancini was moaning about the lack of consistency but the radio played the argument and it did make me chuckle
Game of two halves again for City but Liverpool must be massive favourites for this
* personally I think they are just saying you cant dive in with two feet and tackle just like you cannot tackle from behind or they will give a foul- last nights ref seems to have not read that memo though so Mancini has a point to be fair.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Nothing wrong with Johnsons tackle it was just full on and straight at the ball. If Lescott was further forward I think it would have just kicked his lower leg out of the way.
edit: watching the vid over and over I think Johnsons aim was to clear the ball before Lescott got their hence he launched himself, I dont think he intended to make any contact whatsoever with Lescott
I think Kompanys was marginally worse as IIRC the player was in the way of his two feet coming through so their may have been more risk of injury. I think Kompanys was Yellow but neither were malicious and were in keeping with the tone of the games, neither game was particulalrly "dirty"
I agree that Mancini was not really trying to get Johnson sent off but he was gesturing last week on the touchline waving an imginary card which we dont like to see on the pitch let alone by the managers.
Im a LFC supporter BTW

The letter of the law say if you go in two footed with your studs showing, you're walking. I think both would have been harsh though*, as they both played the ball.
Neither was anywhere near as bad as Lampards similar challenge last week, for which he got a yellow
* despite being a Man Yoo fan, I didn't think Kompany's was a red

It doesn't, or if it does then I can't see it written like this in the rules.
I think, without evidence myself, that this is a media interpretation of the rules. But I'd be happy to be proved wrong.Edit: I think Lineker hinted towards this last night, but it doesn't make for as much post match controversy/banter.

What's the odds on liverpool scoring a pen and shaving 11 behind the ball when united visit for the cup. The carragher scoring a 92nd min header in his own net?

Brilliant interception. the kind of tackle that until recently, wooduv bin hailed as a 'Great Tackle' by commentators and pundits the World over. He got the ball.
Havunt seen the Kompany tackle to compare, because of the unique way football is brought to you and the fact that the greedy bastard tv companies have even a tiny clip removed from tinternet, but I think it's daft that a clean tackle, which gets the ball, can be penalised.
Footy's a contact sport ffs, in the sense that tackling almost always contact with the opposing player.
If nonsense like this continues, we'll end up with no tackling at all. Ridiculous.
Mancini is a knob, simple as that. Lies about his own players, acts like a hypocrite, poor loser.
Kind of like an Italian Bacon Face actually...
Nasri shooduv walked for putting the heid in on Carragher. Brave little lad though; Carra would properly knack him if it really came to it.
I would be really very happy to see Shi... Citeh win naff all this season, and Mancini sacked. Sheik Mansour gets bored, takes his money elsewhere, and Citeh sink back into mediocrity, where they belong. That would make me laugh.
The return leg at Anfield will be a spicy one. I predict at least one red card....

Dirty, malicious? Possibly not.
Dangerous? Definitely.

Oh, so no tackling in footy anymore in case the delicate little lambs get hurt?
Diddums.
Arsenal fayn, int yer? Thought so....

Don't be so melodramatic. When I was playing football at school 20 years ago 2 footed tackles, whether you got the ball or not, were at the least a yellow card.

Whattaguy! The reaction was because Carragher gave him a bitchy little kick. Like a bitch.

Good for you.

Bless.
Was just a little 'Stepney Ankle Tap'. The kind of thing I get (and give out) several times a game when I play. The kind of thing I just laugh off. Only a little whiny girl would get upset about such a little tap.
