No wonder it closed down.

Me neither. In fact, I'd be really sad if Lallana, Lovren or Van Dijk got a bad injury.

How is Richard Chorley nowadays?

Clearly he doesn't do any research and there is no editorial input so it's a bit of a shambles really. He appears to bang it out in half an hour based on watching Match of the Day. I would be genuinely interested to know what sort of fee is involved.

Rugby and football are very different. Tossers excepted, a bunch of people can have a decent game of footy without a ref. You can't really play rugby without a ref. Rugby necessarily appeals to official intervention or it can't work. That said, it always puzzles me why the professional football game tolerates dissent to the level it does. If referees booked everyone who shouted at them or the lino aggressively or shouted "**** off" every time a decision is given then that sort of behaviour would leave the professional game and there ought to be a trickle down of respect to youth / amateur level.

He's saying the law is silly, which it probably is. If your feet are level but your head happens to be tilted beyond the last defender then you are offside. That seems silly.

The guy is just thick as ****.

We'll be fine then as the teams below us, by your brilliant logic, will do exactly what their prior results this year suggest as well, which will be worse than us.

Maybe a front sweeper role against Liverpool?

If Davis starts I'll do my nut.

Good performance and great result but let's not get carried away. We only scored from set pieces, we still fail to convert promising positions when attacking and we still concede soft goals. I think we'll just about stay up but we should be doing so much better.

The back 4 is a bit of a problem. We hardly ever (seriously, go check our results) keep a clean sheet in the league.

I dunno. He still has a massive tendency to wander towards the ball and ignore the person he is tracking. Exhibit A, that Sturridge half chance yesterday.

In a nutshell.

Stephen Hawking is an aerial threat against us.

We've scored a few from set pieces, which has been the difference.

9/10

Yep. More important than a winger.

That's true of about ten teams though!

He might make a decent youth coach.

Stop being such a pompous fool. This guy is the worst manager we have had for a long time. It is obvious to everyone. Results this season have been pathetic. If that's not something to whinge about on a football messageboard then what is the point?

Let's all meet for a drink in Celebration Plaza to talk it through.

I'd pick same defence as last night, Lemina instead of Davis, Boufal instead of Tadic, Carillo instead of JWP. 433 with Long right and Boufal left.

Le Tiss is a bellend on Twitter, to be fair.

There's no way of knowing. Depends entirely on the board strategy. **** knows what's going on at the top level so there's no way of knowing.
