At least the return game is now a straightforward matter. Arsenal "simply" have to go out to win :)). Had they won the home leg 2-1 (which would probably have been a "fairer" outcome) then there'd have been all manner of complicated permutations to consider next week. Liverpool must be pretty pleased but the tie is clearly still very much a live one! :))
Torres? Torres who? Was he playing last night? Oh yes, thats was the blond bloke chucking himslef about a lot to try and con the ref. Cheating b**tard. Liverpool are a one man, one dimensional team and that was clear for all to see last night, ref had a mare, stonewall pen. Pool out singing our fans? I was there and that is nowhere near accurate. A few arguments/fights broke out in and around Holloway Road. My son has a row with four scousers who pushed into his back on purpose to force their way through the crowd and laughed at him when he complained, they didn't laugh when he squared up to them backed up by a mate of mine. Scousers celebrating like they'd won the world cup. Just shows you they know how unbelievably lucky they were. Can't wait to go to their place!!!!
So, not too pleased about the result then? Lets be clear, it should have been a penalty, fair enough, but dens the brakes, every team except Man U have missed out on good shouts. I think it's unfair to call Torres a cheat, he's a real hard worker who picks himself up and dusts himself down.

Actually Atila, I'll think you'll find that Mr Torres was a rather fetching shade of ginger last night. I imagine that the highlights had gone a bit wrong. Maybe your eyes were deceiving you? ;-)


Cheat is not a word I would put in the same sentance as Nando. But hey like you - I'm biased.:)

I was keeping my I on the Senor last night and I have to say, I thought he was diving as much as any other Premiership forward. Not so squeaky clean after all.

How odd, I thought I watched a largely good tempered game last night with no more gamesmanship than you'd normally expect to see (ie too much, but that's the sad spectacle that is top level footie these days; give me a comedy Hamlets game and cheap beer any day of the week).

Torres was largely marked out the game, which of course opened up space a few times for the kuyt and gerrard to exploit.

It was an interesting game without being particularly exciting for a neutral. In fact I think I may have done a sudoku in the last 15 minutes.


As for diving, had Hleb not gone down like heifer in a slaughterhouse he might have actually been awarded the penalty. Ref had a very very good view of the incident!


Most encouraging thing for me was Walcott, he may yet become the player we hoped he might!


It must be tiring being quite so angry the whole time ;-)

*ahem* that was more aimed at Atila, I was rather surprised by the levels of indignation and invective for ultimately a comparatively tame and incident free game.

I guess when the stakes are high...


And yes, as I said last night it was a definite penalty, but the replay shows just how easily he went down and the ref must have had his reasons as there was no clearer viewpoint than his.

Hleb was hauled to the ground, what was he supposed to do? Go down in a specific way to gain approval of the ref? Ref had a good view of the incident you say, so why didn't he give it then? Give me f**king strength. I can see now why Liverpool are miles off the top 3 in the league!

"Ref had a good view of the incident you say, so why didn't he give it then?"


Strangely you've answered your own question.

It's a subjective thing, but i watched the replay several times and I guarantee you that had I been in a normal environment and Kuyt had done the same thing to me I wouldn't lying prone, I'd be looking at him not a little nonplussed....on two feet.


Quite Keef quite. cool/book T9 syndrome?

Agree about Walcott, he was running Liverpool ragged, and caused my heart the most problems. Also agree that it was a clear penalty, but as Piers says, had he not made quite so much of it, the ref may well have given it. As for Torres Atila, if he's a cheat in your book then fine, but pot and kettle mate, every team, yours included has players who will take a tumble. Lets look on the bright side, we're set up for a good match next week with both teams still very much in it!
Oh and as for Liverpool and the top 3 (I can't believe I'm rising to this playground nonsense), we're actually not too far off you now if you look at the table. Oh, and you were 4th last year, so what are you on about? It is a bloody game man, we all like it, and we all support our teams, but come on!

Not too far off us? In terms of style and content you are lights years behind us and we have spent a fraction of the money Liverpool have.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
