I can see why Liverpool would do this. Must be the 3rd keeper's lucky day. Although his son passed away :(

 

[Havak]

Just for whoever said it. Lol goalkeeper Doni what a John.

 

[phalanx]

that 3rd keeper was lucky not to see red, surly conceding that pen was denying a clear goalscoring oppertunity?

 

[keelhauled]

No, the pen was given for the foul, although the striker (yak?) had his back to goal, and wasn't in a position to shoot, and coates was backtracking,
not a goalscoring opportunity.

Lol just noticed Arsenal's third choice Mannone has been keeping Liverpool's Gulasci on the bench at Hull. Small world or what.

 

[abrar14]

Brad jones and Gulasci FTW

Lets turn our season around with a win against Everton!

good point. speaking about coates, exceptional talent, no? Surely he has to be ahead of Carra.

 

[Bartman101]

Tevez starts for City!!!

But the main events will be going on at the bottom.

Wigan and Wolves should both get thrashed at home to Man U and Arsenal respectively, but I really hope Swansea can get something at QPR. However, I do fear a QPR win.

Yeah he dedicated that goal to his son which was nice.

Also, the old saying 3rd times the charm popped into my head XD

 

[HBK]

Hahaha Maloney brought a smile to my face

Surprisingly, the opposite happens (probably not "thrashed", but ManU is way too harmless).

 

[akuchi]

i fucking hate football

 

[HBK]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD JOB WIGAN!

 

[Doomsday94]

A few weeks ago, a friend told me his dad would get him a new guitar if Wigan stayed up. We laughed at the idea, but now...

 

[Phadunk]

Hehhhhhhhhhhhhh 5 points clear.

 

[keelhauled]

if city win the derby it's game on

 

[phalanx]

are the officals just taking the piss now?

 

[Phadunk]

I know! How did Balotelli not receive an extremely long ban.

 

[Nosferalto]

comolli sacked.

adam johnson is available for 10m. would be a bargain for liverpool imo.

adam johnson, dzeko/adebayor and de jong would be excellent signings

just reading through some old posts and found this little nugget of foresight from yours truly.

the last time kenny dalglish managed a premiership team, he drove them into the ground. Don't expect miracles.

strange that!

Commoli's dismissal is just a kneejerk reaction, the guy has done a fine job. Please explain the thinking behind it somebody? Even the Telegraph seems uncertain.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...d-transfers-and-desperate-run-of-results.html

Liverpool have sacked Director of Football Damien Comolli after the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, reviewed the club's failure in the transfer market that saw high-profile and expensive acquisitions such as Andy Carroll contribute to a chastening season in the Premier League.

and then go on to say

in all instances, manager Kenny Dalglish had the final say in the deals.

...

"[Comolli] has been really helpful in every transfer target we've gone for," said Dalglish. Everyone who has come into the club since Damien has been here was of my choice. Once I made the choice who I wanted Damien went away and did a fantastic job of bringing them in."

it absolutely wreaks of scapegoat - the guy has gone out and brought in the targets that he was asked to using the funds available to him. the owners need to grow a pair and have a word with 'king' kenny if they have a problem with recent transfers because he's come out on record and said that they were all his choices.

dalglish has lost the plot, i would rather him stay and get liverpool relegated >>

 

[HBK]

United lose another game and we have a title decider like last season except the rivalry's more fierce and there's a lot of pride at stake coz it's a derby.

 

[Venom]

Hahaha Maloney brought a smile to my face

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD JOB WIGAN!

just in case nobody noticed, we got a pretty big united hater here.

 

[The_Chaser]

comolli sacked.

nah at 10m, he must be only half as good as Downing.

 

[No Luck Involved]

What are you on about nobody hates Utd, we were just supporting Wigan for 90mins! :D

Utd are still jammy, diving, referee bribers tho... <mumble, mumble>
