NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

Guess which foul-mouthed senile red-nosed old drunk said the following:

"There is nothing in it. But what will happen, because it is Wayne Rooney, the press will raise a campaign to get him hung by Tuesday or electrocuted or something like that.

"It is unbelievable. Watch the press. It will be interesting to see it."

Jim Davidson?

ref saw nothing wrong here either

Who's on the Liverpool bench?

Subs: Gulacsi, Cole, Kyrgiakos, Maxi, Ngog, Spearing, Poulsen sez the BBC

Thanks. Was hoping for Carroll.

not to be wide but is there anyone on this thread who actually goes to the game?

Parker's goal as good a strike as you'll see all season.

Andy Carroll is too fat to play, apparently:

Jim, there's a few folk on here go to games, aye.

I'm at the game!

It's not great tbh

sweet from Suarez.

sweet from Cole.

we were shite but oh well. worst performance under dalglish so far.

so then, another routine, by-the-numbers weekend of mundane football

Liverpool were rotten today, West Ham well worth the win and could easily have had one or two more without being unduly flattered. They were good, well-organised and up for every fifty-fifty, which Liverpool were frankly not. Parker's goal was lovely and played out right in front of us - it looked he was totally off-balance and could only prod weakly goalwards, and it was a real surprise to realise midway through its arc that Reina could do nothing about it and it was heading in.

• Carragher - his little fouls are so blatant, it's amazing he gets away with them! A high ball will be hanging in the air and you look down and see him and Cole or Piquionne get together waiting for it to drop, then as it does, exactly at the moment you'd expect him to Carragher leans on him and gives a little push. It's comical how clear it is, and why the ref and linesman don't see it that way I have no idea.
• Wilson - was awful, kept giving it away. I thought it was Agger for the first twenty mins and couldn't understand what had happened to him.
• Meireles - has a habit of pulling out of 49/51s. No doubt sensible and good for his ankles, but must have contributed to West Ham getting their edge.
• Gerrard - had a terrible game, his distribution (short and Hollywood) was woeful 'til late on. That said, he's so busy he totally makes them tick, like a fast, erratic Pirlo, which is not entirely a good thing.
• Kuyt - was just dreadful. Every time he needed to deliver quickly he took an extra touch; every time he had time, he put in an awful first-time cross.
• Suarez - his going to ground looks terrible and he'll quickly pick up a reputation for diving. I don't think he had a particularly good game but he's the real deal I think, there were a few times where in a flash he suddenly had yards of space, like he was the only one moving.

Catering report: pie & mash WITH LIQUOR at a caff near the ground. Pretty damn tasty, even if liquor is an oddly watery concoction. I dread to think what's in it. The owner was very like James Corden, which actually pleased me, and added meaningfully to the experience somehow.

I was just about to come on here and ask you for a match report! Spot on in your assessment. We were poor, but thankfully, so far, poor performances have been the exception under Kenny. And while we did resort to hoofing on a few occasions, we did at least try to take the game to West Ham. Thought we were pretty comfortable until the first goal, and still felt we could get a draw even at 2-0. Lucas was great. Don't think Carragher should be first choice CB next season.

Though first few performances and the odd since have been v mixed under kenny tbh.

Parker. Such a pity he chose Chelsea over us. Such a pity he's had such injuries. Such a pity the only debate on england's centre throughout his career has been gerrard vs lampard

RIP Dean Richards. He was imperious at the start of his Spurs career and then got rapidly worse for reasons that are obvious now. I feel bad for giving him quite a bit of stick over his last season or two now.

Hadn't heard. Rip. Always seemed a nice bloke off the pitch.

Kinda left Wolves under a cloud and didn't endear himself after he left, but when he was good he was very very good, and no doubt worth what was paid for him. RIP

Liverpool haven't really played well since their Cup final, the Torres game.

Liquor is basically parsley, flour, butter and water.

Going to the Bridge tomorrow. Doubt my 100 per cent record for the season will hold up.

The last few games v Man Utd at the Bridge have been horrible matches. Fletcher, Evra and Ferdinand have between them attacked us, each other, the ref, a steward and the groundsman. Ball boys better watch out.

If United come for a win, they'll definitely get it, but they'll probably come for a draw. They'll still get the win but it will be slightly more depressing.

Fletcher, Evra and Ferdinand have between them attacked us, each other, the ref, a steward and the groundsman

Haven't shot anyone tho, have they?

Another big loss for the Gunners:

Premier League football club Arsenal recorded a £2.5m ($4m) loss in the half year to December 2010, largely on the back of reduced player revenues.

There were no major player sales in summer 2010, unlike in previous years when the club made a big-name sale.

The loss contrasts with a £29.2m profit in the corresponding period a year earlier.

No bonus for Wenger this year...

Wouldn't worry, they'll be making a £28m profit next season when the Fabregas sale goes through.

Also they have a production line of the Best Young Players In The World which will no doubt bring financial rewards... unless they all end up palying for West Brom or whatever

Then again, the next six month period will include a bunch more home games at £3mn in revenue per match.

his haircut annoys me more than his shitness.

Chelsea better sort themselves out for tonight.

well they won't have a problem with their shooting.

100% shots on target i should imagine

united, in turn will be sure to bust a gut

i'm so hilarious

You're fired.... out of a gun.... uh..... operated by, um, Ashley Cole

Birmingham City's Carling Cup hero Obafemi Martins has been warned that he is expected to return to Russian side Rubin Kazan at the end of the season. The striker is currently on loan at St Andrew's.
Full story: Daily Mail

?

From James, Salford, on text: "Stevo, I think you've lost it mate. Chelsea don't stand a chance! 1-0 United. Absolutely chuffed Hernandez gets a start in a big game. He will get the winner. C'mon you Reds!"

who raises these people? Is there a foster home staffed by senile alumni of Roy of the Rovers?

remember when this game meant something?

Back of the old onion bag with that observation mate! Absolutely top point. Sir Alex will have been known been delighted known have will

:D

United field an unchanged team for the first time in 165 matches.

soft disallowed goal tbh

utd the beneficiaries, i mean lolobvs

that said, terry's blocked with his arm there.

Why does he do that?

neutral pundit Efan Ekoku concurs

this game is shaping up to be potentially not agonisingly shit

and it's LIVE

yeah it's good so far.

Least convincing right winger- torres or fletcher?
