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

aee shearer gettin all alpha male. "shnoods? naaaaaa, sorry, not for me".

*see

Cantona was immense on football focus I thought, bedecked in Cosmos regalia - hope he does go and make Cosmos the biggest thing in the world now, so he can confound Lawro & Shearer on a weekly basis

Oh well cyber-bullied, Baggies.

wigan win today (oh yes pleez) will make the bottom half dozen teams all pretty close together

ARSENAL HAVE THROWN AWAY THE SEASON AGAIN.

dude that better be sarcasm

It is.

rolling wtf thread important developments

didnt watch this but suspect chamakh would be more useful vs barcelona despite shitty recent form

I'd like it if Arsenal could at least go through the motions of competing for this thing please. If it weren't for Chelsea showing signs of life, I'd fancy ten straight defeats to be enough to see United home.

the islington men will no doubt be peturbed by your lack of faith

dude let us sort barca out and then we can focus on the league. (no-one we could possibly get in the next round will be as challanging.) also cesc should be back for our next league games.

If you had Nigel de Jong and Andoni Goikotxea coming back then maybe

lol habsi

jon champion "where's he from again chris?" made me wanna throw my kit kat at the tv screen.

ffs arsenal...alco-nose and hobgoblin for another paean to shit football title

conor sammon on the bench for wigan today.

feed the fish and he will score.

fatty fatfuckson back to form. The fat fuck.

'these are the kind of games that title winners win'

= ya, but y'nahtid don't get legit goals disallowed for offside in 'those kind of games'

yeah. I was tryin to think of a justifier for the strength of my frustration at those decisions- best was that utd would never be at the loss of them at OT. Never.

eat it bluenoses

match intros on rte tonight are great. Eastenders and grange hill pastiches, didnt catch first one

city for the league tbh

all the above so true...it's a fucking joke, united get pens to win them the game at 0-0, other teams get done out of wins by bad decisions at home. and no it doesn't EVEN ITSELF OUT OVER THE COURSE OF A SEASON ETC, that's "best of all possible worlds" rubbish and we all know it.

nice to see blackburn concede a peno for holding in the box. Kean's response was pretty weak stuff.

Are there any facets to Tommy Hitzlsperger's game beyond being able to fucking welly it on his left foot? Not that I'm complaining, cos watching him welly it is hell of fun.

that was beautiful wasnt it

Yeboah-esque crossbar smanging.

GOTM:

Kolarov 7.5/10
Tiote 7/10
Kranjcar 7.5/10
McCarthy 8/10
Rooney 8/10
Dorrans 6.5/10
O'Hara 8/10
Parker 9/10

Obviously they'll give it to Rooney... wd go Parker-McCarthy-Rooney m'self.

parker's for me, yeah

Parker is the "indie" choice and while i do love it, you've got to give it to Rooney.

don't remember any rooney goal recently

oh yeah the chelsea goal was good, plus the elbow in the face of course, wonderful strike.

Tiote!

"Liverpool will aim to place an obstacle in front of Manchester United's attempt to eclipse their tally of 18 titles at Anfield as Kenny Dalglish resumes his battle with Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson, in turn, will want United to respond instantly to Tuesday's defeat at Chelsea, with spirits lifted by Arsenal's failure to beat Sunderland at the Emirates yesterday."

Liverpool want to win however Man United also want to win.

What's Alan Hansen got against Arsenal? Having watched the highlights didn't think their performance was anything like as bad as he made it out to be. Did he even mention that the Sunderland goalie played a blinder?
Also Andy Johnson is never gonna get awarded a penalty. Ever.

Okay then, off to the Piper for an afternoon's nail-gnawing. See on the flip-side, footie fans.

good start, this

andy johnson has a bit of penalty karma coming to him. He's one of the holy trinity of english divers along with gerrard and rooney

ashley young pushing them lately tho tbf

'good luck' nv

could grow to like dalglish's lfc, good stuff this

Ooh berbatov

brilliant from Berbatov

berbatov is that elusive player a lot of 'nearly' teams need to become a force. We had him too soon, utd waste him, for the most part.

timberlake injured

amazing

well fuck me

that was phenomenal control from Suarez
