let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-ilxors (darraghmac), Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:23 (thirteen years ago)

Jesus, that last twenty minutes or so were horrible. Liverpool were much better with Sturridge on the pitch. It must be obvious to Ferguson that United are shit at defending, so why choose to try to see out the game and bring on extra defenders? We were just about hanging on there for ages. I'd have brought on Hernandez instead and tried to get a third. Still - if that Van Persie backheel had gone in in injury time that would have been fantastic.

I think the 'Webb favours United' conspiracy theory can be put to bed now, by the way.

A Yawning Chasm (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:31 (thirteen years ago)

nah, this doesn't fit the narrative. It'll be forgotten

Number None, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:32 (thirteen years ago)

wtf guys, did you not see the Vidic header where a goalkick was given?

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:35 (thirteen years ago)

Jamie Redknapp sure is irate at that offside

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:36 (thirteen years ago)

Jamie Redknapp sure is irate about De Gea

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:37 (thirteen years ago)

ah hey now

it's a nice trick to throw the scent off by giving some decisions against utd in a game they were never in danger of losing.

They were in danger of throwing away that lead for quite a lot of the second half.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:41 (thirteen years ago)

is that ILX's most bad-tempered fixture of the season these days? pity the only Chelsea fan a) doesn't seem to post any more and b) is always so very reasonable

imago, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:48 (thirteen years ago)

imago, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:48 (thirteen years ago)

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:49 (thirteen years ago)

non-elitist melted poo (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:50 (thirteen years ago)

imago, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:53 (thirteen years ago)

Number None, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:09 (thirteen years ago)

bertrim hapaz (anky), Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:10 (thirteen years ago)

Clear penalty, slightly harsh red. Well done ref.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:10 (thirteen years ago)

contrarian, zing thyself (cajunsunday), Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:11 (thirteen years ago)

imago, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:11 (thirteen years ago)

Could only have been more lolsome with the disintegrator

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:11 (thirteen years ago)

He rugby tackled the last man, it was definitely a red.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:14 (thirteen years ago)

so they got a red card for wrestling a player in on goal. boo hoo. post

contrarian, zing thyself (cajunsunday), Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:14 (thirteen years ago)

i did like the expanding die

maybe the penalty should be taken with a perfectly icosahedral ball made out of the stuff inside crunchie bars

thought the goalie was getting there first guvnah

imago, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:15 (thirteen years ago)

Niall Quinn is a creep

Number None, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:16 (thirteen years ago)

The way he's playing Dzeko would have punted it into the upper stand, Koscielny could have left him on his feet.

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:21 (thirteen years ago)

City could get a few today

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:21 (thirteen years ago)

Let's hear Arsene explain his way out of this one

niall quinn 'it was a reactionary save'

things that are jokes pretty much (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:45 (thirteen years ago)

Where is Jenk? I feel he needs to be a part of this.

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:47 (thirteen years ago)

not sure who this Fox Soccer co-commentator is but he's said "Robin Mancini" three times in the last five minutes.

Bill Goldberg Variations (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:32 (thirteen years ago)

How the fuck is that a red?

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

Bladdy ell. Are those always red cards now with the studs up? Didn't touch him!

Windsor Davies, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

or even have the studs up

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:35 (thirteen years ago)

pretty sure big swarthy foreign dude doing to great white hope of english fitba what great white hope of english fitba does a couple times every game is an automatic red

things that are jokes pretty much (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:35 (thirteen years ago)

Number None, Sunday, 13 January 2013 17:37 (thirteen years ago)

kompany deserved a booking cuz it was scrappy and potentially dangerous, but not dangerous enough, and not malicious enough to get near a sending off

i had to do more grown up stuff what'd i miss

let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-ilxors (darraghmac), Sunday, 13 January 2013 19:38 (thirteen years ago)

  • Arsenal big babies, self-sabotage through self-pity
  • City kinda bored of the epl, barely rousing themselves
  • Utd actually do it through great precision and high tempo, but other than rvp have the air of a confidence side, could see them having a terrible run at some point
  • Liverpool somehow dragging a promising display out of that first half, and I guess credit to Bren for changing it though maybe should've acted even sooner; don't quite understand how the dynamic changed quite so much though; Gerrard good, Suarez, Sturridge, Borrini could be a very interesting front three, but still too much average kicking around
Conclusion: Utd will win the title as they're the only ones who really want it. What's 'grown up stuff'?

Ismael Klata, Sunday, 13 January 2013 19:47 (thirteen years ago)

"bored of the EPL" eh? Suppose they're saving themselves for Europe
