I'm not one to assert conspiracy or anything (in football governance, incompetence is normally an adequate and highly likely explanation) but the decision to take Mane's goal against Sunderland away from him is up right up there as one of the most baffling developments of recent time. He gets in front of his man, makes firm contact with the ball, and directs it towards goal from close range. It brushes off someone's boot, with no obvious effect on the velocity on the ball or impact on the likelihood of the 'keeper saving it. No one in their right mind who saw the goal in real time would think "own goal". The, on the other hand, you have scuffed shots, sliced shots etc that take a huge diversion thanks to a meaty thwack off a defender which are credited to strikers. Very odd indeed.

That fakir's a Messerschmit.

Agreed. Unless we think Gazza or Cropper are PL quality keepers (unlikely IMO) then we needed to sign one in the summer anyway, really. How on earth has he broken his knee cap anyway without any trauma? Very odd. Looked more like a twist or ligament issue. Get well soon.

If you think we're gonna do it then take a trip to the bookies. Should be able to get 11/1 or 12/1 on Saints to finish top 4.

Koeman did get it wrong initially. We were far too narrow which played right into Burnley's hands as they could canter up the touchline and hit diagonals, which was pretty much their entire attacking capability. Fair play to Kelv - great performance considering he hasn't played for ages and I'm honestly not confident that Forster would have saved the shot from Ings. We need to play to our strengths a bit more - Mane is our best offensive player right now by some distance so we need to keep him central in my opinion. I would leave Pelle on the bench at Everton.

Outside Liverpool or, if you must park in Liverpool, a modern CCTV covered car park in the city centre (which is nowhere near the footy). Under no circumstances would I park on a random street in Liverpool.

4-1 Mane to score first. 80/1 Fact.

---------------Fraser Forza!--------------- Clyne------Font------Toby A------Bertie -------------Big Vic---Morgan S--------- ---Djuricic-------Mane---------Tadic--- ----------------------Pelle---------------------- KD, Yoshida, Davis, JWP, Long, Gallagher, Elia

8 wins, maybe 7, will see us in the top 4. That should be the aim for now. I will worry about the Europa League once we can't achieve that.

No doubt about they should have had more. So should we. Interestingly, we have not conceded one all season, which also can't really be right.

Do we need Morgan and Vic for this? With Vic on nine bookings I'd be tempted to start with Morgan, Davis, Djuricic behind Tadic, Mane and Long or Pelle.

I agree and, from the little seen so far, I think he looks after the ball much better and won't give it away cheaply. I think he has looked v promising so far considering his arrival in a completely new country and his lack of playing time this season.

Yeah but fair do's, it is the mighty Cheltenham.

Huge bargain at £10m. If he has another season like this next season he will be worth £25million to £30million. He is potentially top class. We will do well to keep him more than a couple of years.

Actually, you are probably correct because I didn't go last year! I was definitely there the year before and yes, it did shat down. I won on Long Run that year but probably not BIG, like your boss. Stitched me up too! Tried to jump the shadow. Stupid horse.

Yep, I'm going on Friday. Hoping for some better weather this year!

The really shocking thing about that pitch invasion was how utterly tinpot it was. QF win, FFS. Embarrassing.

It's quite ridiculous of you to pretend that this is a new phenomenon under Cameron. You may have numerous legitimate gripes with him but the notion that he is the first PM to be slippery and not answer the question at PMQs is just risible. Find some footage of Blair or something for a true look at a narcissistic evasionist of the highest order.

If SNP end up being the decisive adjunct to a ruling coalition then the English, N Irish and Welsh ought to have an independence referendum.

I agree it seems disproportionately managed but I suppose it's the lack of ambiguity that makes it such a flagrant and unedifying offence. Now, let's see if a Man U player gets a lengthy ban (should be increased for a frivolous appeal IMO)....

Why on earth not? If I meet someone in a club who looks over 20 and I want to have sex with them and they want to have sex with me I am not going to ask to see their ID, and neither is anyone else.

Yes, it's not so much swearing that irks me, it's aggressive screaming at the ref; running up to them; borderline physcial intimidation etc. Yellow card. Like has been said, it will stop pretty quickly once Rooney, Henderson, Terry etc get booked constantly.
