Its generally driven by dickhead fans though.

I know some cool Liverpool fans. The problem with Liverpool is a specific type of middle aged glory hunter who became fans in the 70's or 80's.

Starved of league success for 19 years and they've failed at life in the mean time too. Desperate for some success to validate their choice and existence before their heart gives up pushing blood around their fat clogged arteries.

Is he on about you @Wooderson

Well I know a few of them though one is a Liverpool, AC Milan and Real Madrid supporter. Can't imagine how he picked which teams to support in the mid-80's. I'd be suprised to find out he's from Liverpool with parents from Madrid and Milan.

Nailed it.

4 nil to the Reds tonight. A rampant display.

they have quite an ageing team.

Really? Other than Neuer at 32 no-one over the age of 30. Doesnt strike me as excessively aging. Take out Ribery and Robben and its a pretty young squad

[Gnomicide]

I may have been a little hasty.

[zahidf]

Ha!

0-0 isn't the best result but it's hardly a disaster. They'll have dijk back for the second leg.

not going to make their attack sharper.

[Gnomicide]

Yeah. 0 - 0 from the home leg is a decent result these days. I thought Bayeen put in a very solid defensive display but you'd  think they'll need to be more attack minded in the 2nd leg.

In the semis 6 out of the last 7 and played for a nil all after 20 mins. Muck.

Glorious from City, we roll on.

Two great goals. Loved Sterlings finish. Hit it just that half a second before the keeper could set himself.

Looking forward to Sunday now. Should be a great days football.

You have beaten us once already this season. Its a one off match. Never take anything for granted in football. 

You have Hazzard, if hes on it, he can win a game on his own.

We are stuck in a rut which shows no sign of changing. You're right about Hazard but we're far too over reliant on him and that puts a strain on our performances. We'll see. I'm looking forward to it, as you do all cup finals.

Chelsea banned from signing players for the next two windows.

Might have to actually use some of the 800 players they have out on loan.

We knew this was coming. I imagine we will appeal which would mean that the ban will not come into play until a later date.

Yeah, you'll get it delayed and then reduced to just next January I'd wager, which isn't much of a punishment given bugger all happens in January.

I doubt anyone will feel much sympathy.

Nope. Poetic justice if you ask me. Sign a load of youngsters they never intend on playing. Break the rules and get banned from making transfers.

[jyoung]

Mike Dean 100% said something hasn't he...

Looks like Poch says "What did you say" and "Repeat it to the camera"...

Finally an opponent sent off at SJP in the PL. 155 games since the last. It was an absolute horror tackle too. Almiron looked ace for Newcastle!

Delle Alli's done 3 of those at SJP. Plus stamped on someone's ankle, and screamed in the ref's face while on a yellow.

That twat aside, I can't think of anyone else who should have been sent off in the Prem. Notts County made a ridiculous robbery at SJP in the Championship with a dodgy pen, not having 2 players sent off who should have, and us having had a player sent off who shouldn't, but that wasn't the Prem.
