Got to laugh at Liverpool losing to Northampton in extra time.:24:

I'm laughing myself!

Please West Ham, finally get a win over Spurs tomorrow.

 

[TGLucario475]

Unlucky scrotum face and your shit team!

Good weekend for the underdogs and this time no sight of a beachball.

Happy with a draw against Fulham who are still unbeaten this season even if we do go bottom because of other results, 2 wins and a draw in the last three matches is good and we seemed to have turned a corner, wont be long before we're moving back up the table. I'm betting Liverpool haven't got that confidence right now! Seriously, I know some big teams will have a bad start to the season every now and then but Liverpool's just gets worse and it shows no sign of ending. Looking forward to when we play them at Anfield later in the season. If they carry on like this we'll have our best opportunity for ages of finally beating them there for the fist time in about 50 years!

Big game for you next with Wolves though. Although West Ham are improving from what I've seen.

Were England playing a match tonight? I seem to have some vague recollection of watching 90 minutes of an England game but I'm fucked if I can remember any of it.

Best moment of the match was Peter Drury on commentary regarding the England team

"A pair of Johnson's on the right"

Yep.

I thought we was playing tomorrow, but it looks like people will be moaning that we should of won the game. I'm laughing as Montenegro are a tough side to beat!

 

[Peter Parka]

Everton currently 2-0 up against Liverpool, looks like Liverpool are only going to be saved from rock bottom by goal difference after today.:24:

 

[Springsteen]

I hope John Henry kept that receipt.

It makes you wonder how players the calibur of Torres, Gerrard, Cole, Carragher, Reina, and Rodriguez could make up the bulk of a team performing so woefully.

 

[TGLucario475]

I think it's more to do with that they can't all play together. Take Real Madrid for example, they had a hugely top-heavy squad for the best part of 10 years now and they are expecting results! The Zidane y Pavon tactic never paid off; Buy one big player and promote one youth player. Not only did they bring in ATTACKING players of the highest quality, they failed to do the same DEFENSIVELY, unlike Barcelona who've got a brilliant mix of both!

Liverpool have lost their way since Alonso and Mascherano left, our big defensive rocks, coupled with the aging of Carragher, the too attacking minded Johnson, mediocre Soto and Agger as well as Konchesky and Aurelio is never fit, our defensive as a whole is probably the worst it's been since the Premier League started and we've had Rigobert Song! Midfield wise we've got deadwood and/or mediocre players in Lucas, Poulsen, Raul Merieles and Maxi. Same with the attacking stretch; Babel. Torres can't play as lone striker. I can't speak much about the likes of Jova, Sheva and the other newboys as I've not seen them play.

The only players I can see worthy of Liverpool are Reina, Gerrard, Kuyt, Cole, Torres and maybe even Ngog!

If there's anyone in the world who can play as a lone striker, it's Torres.
