What I don't get is that there were still 10 minutes to go. Probably just getting some practice in!

[Jah Lush]

I said at the beginning of the season that Man Utd would win the league and nothing has changed my mind since.

[Mick Mac]

You have not changed your mind once on who would win the league since the start of the season?

[Otta]

I suppose because of experience you have to make United favourites now, but not over yet.

Arsenal only 1 point behind Spurs now. I'm no gooner, but when you consider the mess they were in early in the season, you have to admire that. Chelsea not out of the running by any means either.

Perhaps Harry is planning an end of season collapse, so it'll be easier to walk away from Spurs...

It would be an interesting tustle amongst the top five teams. Man City seems to have a problem with their away record. Spurs have dominated matches but can't convert chances made. With Chelsea and Arsenal both capable enough to pull a string of results to qualify for Champions League. City has a better goal difference that Utd, so a run of nine wins and a draw may be enough for them. There are still enough twists for the Premiership race.

Nothing is done and dusted yet, and there are still 10 games to go. I see Dalglish has asked the authorities to long at Wengers cllims that Suarez is a diver and a cheat. Just saying what we all think then. Is this to deflect the fact that despite all of the millions spent and being welcomed home like some long lost son, his performance is not musch better than Woys and he's beginning to feel the heat? He's buckled under the pressure before, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. Just suppose Liverpool lose tonight and Everton go above them, which on previous history is unlikely, would he be under more pressure having spent shed loads and Moyes spent zip?

[Otta]

To be fair to him, had another manager called an Arsenal player a diver (and it has been known), Wenger would have gone ape shit.

[Chippy Minton]

Suarez isn't in the Ronaldo / Drogba / Klinnsman diving league yet, but he's getting there so I think it's a fair comment from Wenger.

He might have gone ape if someone had said that about one of his players, but that's because there isn't really anyone in the current Arsenal side that makes you think "diver" when you hear their name.

[Otta]

Fair enough, but he has been there a long time, and there have been a few in those years.

I hate seeing dives, and admit that Suarez has taken a couple, and would rather he didn't. I just can't stand the holier than thou attitude of some people, who think that a player in their team's shirt would never do a thing like that.

Anyway, why exactly are we talking about this AGAIN?

[El Pibe]

My team's better than your team.

Your team has divers, my team is pristine.

I care about the SPL

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SPL.

This manger's shit.

No that manager's shit.

Liverpool, liverpool yaaaawn yaaaawn

Man U Man U chelsea even bigger yaaaaawn

Intersperse all of the above with derogatory refrences (spuds manure chelski etc)

Does John Terry go in the 'whites only' cycle?..

Are you being racist?

[Otta]

Yeah R_D, that was. well out of order!

[Atticus]

Well deserved and expected win for Liverpool. Might be accused of being holier than thou here but Suarez is a diver, Otta, stop with the middle ground stuff, he is a perpetual cheat.

[Otta]

Good, and very timely win for Liverpool. Everton have been on great form, and it was nice to see Liverpool dominate a home game. Something they have sorely lacked this season!

[Annasfield]

Parkdrive/Atila whatever you call yourself these days. Kenny left after Hillsborough having attended many of the funerals and supporting the club and it's fans. Do you seriously consider him to be a bottler for leaving after the stress involved with that tragedy?

I think at his age and given his track record, which is all we have to go by, it's a possibility, that's all I'm saying. But Liverpool fans seem to able to overlook his performance in a way that were never able to overlook Woy's. Unfair treatment if you ask me. Stevie G did the business to cover up the embrrassment of Carrol being, yet again, unable to find his arse with both hands.

[maxxi]

Fair play - good game - great win. Delighted for Di Matteo.

[StraferJack]

Ha. Absolutely disgraceful. Certain chelsea players should be dismissed for selective performance under last manager

I think they are a disgrace

(regardless of any objective merit in tonight's game)

[Razors]

Phew. Up the Blues. And I am glad that JT played and scored. Captain, Leader, Legend

Possibly. But its a Cup game, last chance motel situation. Don't think can make that judgement call. Besides, stuff changes with new managers in any workplace, good, bad, indifferent.

[StraferJack]

Just look at qpr

Piffle. They went on a go slow to get rid of manager. Professional embarrassments

[Razors]

Tommyrot. Rose to the occasion. Accept and appreciate and admire.

[Otta]

I dunno SJ, do we believe that players have so little pride now, that they'd sit back and let results run against them, in order to get a manager sacked? I'm no Chelsea fan, but you'd think they'd have the will to win of any pro sports person.

I also think that a new manager can produce good results, look at Sunderland!
