  1. Di Maria goes off injured
  2. Bang goes my Super6 after 4 minutes, Leicester 1-0 up. Will have to wait for next week for my £250k
  3. First goal of the 3pm kickoffs goes to Tranmere. Against Pompey
  4. Things I'm hoping for next year Button to keep his drive McLaren to build a competitive car with a decent Honda donkey Caterham and Marussia to find sound financial backing Kobayashi to be on the grid Bottas to win a race Kimi to beat Vettel A decent Red Bull which the two Dans can compete for the Championship with Lewis to win WDC if Jenson is unable to compete for it Lotus to be competitive again and to find enough investment not to need Maldonado after 2015. Sutil, Chilton and Gutierez are nowhere to be seen. Vergne to find a drive. He has basically matched the very talented Ricciardo and Kvyat in his time at STR Toro Rosso to change their livery. It wont happen but the car just looks like a cheap knock-off Red Bull they bought at a Moroccan market stall.
  5. I'm not sure they've got the branding right. 'Black Friday' sounds like something bad the IRA did in the 80s. I think it should be called something like 'Saint Wayne's Day'.
  6. Perez moved ahead of Magnussen into 10th because of double points. That's about it.
  7. Pretty much. The fact that St Marys and most of our away games are roughly around a sell out, plus or minus a few hundred say's they've got it about right. You know you've got the balance right when customers are saying, "these prices are outrageous... here take my money!"
  8. Had a dream last night that he scored a 90th minute equaliser with a free kick at Sheff Utd. Then Lallana and Lambert scored again within the next minute and we won 3-1. This might not come to fruition in real life.
  9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VWVZy31w3A I can't wait to see this now.
  10. They will charge that (and more) for as long people are willing to pay it.
  11. I think if he walked in and said he wanted a go on you, most of us would struggle to say no.
  12. No arguments from me. He's a dreamboat.
  13. Against the mighty Ludogorets. Again, why would we want an older, crap version of Pelle on loan.
  14. So Lovren left to play Champions League football. How's that working out for you Dejan?
  15. Baby Lovren will be properly upset on Instagram tonight.
  16. Is the Pope Buddhist?
  17. Shame Lucas is playing, he might actually make them good. Looks like it took Lovren all of 3 months to get dropped from the first team. Liverpool have got one expensive bench. In other news Chambers gets to spend this evening keeping Grosskreutz and Immobile company. Live on Sky 1 for those who are interested.
  18. How is Lambert an 'option' for Pelle. He is pretty much the same player just older, slower and less fit and mobile. If Pelle isn't working Lambert certainly wont. This is exactly the kind of game Lambert would have gone missing in last season. I do think we need another CF but not an inferior version of what we already have. Someone with the pace to play off the last man, which is not one of Pelle's attributes. Maybe Long would be suited to this, I'm not sure.
  19. A player with plenty of bottle
  20. Well, since you've already decided my opinion, you don't need to bother reading the rest of this post. Tennis is different. If you take a decent male player from any Sunday afternoon tennis club and put him up against one of the Williams sisters or Sharapova, he will get destroyed. Men's and women's tennis are fairly similar in terms of ability because they played by roughly equal numbers at grass roots level. The strongest players will always be men because they are naturally stronger but women's tennis is still worth watching in terms of skill and ability. Does anyone know if there are any rules preventing women from playing in the men's football league?
  21. Jenson Button would have been a very credible winner that year, it's just that the Man U fans rigged the vote. The Zara Philips year was worse in terms of actual sporting achievements IMO.
  22. I'm drawing a comparison because it's the same sport. If I want to watch football I will watch a decent quality game, like a Premier League game, Champs League, WC etc. I, along with pretty much everyone else wouldn't want to watch a Sunday League match on TV or at Wembley. My comment about positive discrimination is simple. You can find hundreds of men's football games of similar quality which wont get played at Wembley with exposure on national TV, yet this women's game got just that for no other reason than it is women involved. Put simply, if those players had been men of equal ability they wouldn't have been on the news or at Wembley. Your last line is just petulant. I put forwards an opinion which you happen to disagree with. I'm not frothing at the mouth, I didn't even watch the game and my TV is off. I just saw the highlights on the news.
  23. If I was a footballer I'd be sure to share my house with a couple of bad tempered Alsatians. Hope this doesn't get to Victor's head too much. The money wont be an issue but the invasion of privacy and shock can unsettle even the hardest people.
  24. I think it would be simplistic to say Davis was the reason for our poor performance tonight. After all he went off injured against Leicester following a fairly forgettable 0-0 performance by the team. In fact that first half wasn't all that different to tonight's performance, minus the error from Forster. Plenty of possession and a couple of decent chances without scoring. Having said all that, I do rate him and he is definitely in our strongest 11 at the moment.
