GET INVOLVED - will Liverpool win the Premiership 2013/14?

Not necessarily poor grammar. You all know those Stamford Bridge afterparties

Well that was fun.

Goalie goes for KO on torres. Then Lampard misses the pen.

walk across, punch torres in the head, save his penalty = allan mcgregor shows you how to live

doesn't have the nickname shagger for nothing

It was a decent punch. Torres has a strong chin though.

is that div in the crowd really going to watch the entire match through the cardboard eyes of his cut out jose mask with his dirty hot chelsea breath coming back at him

Just remembered 'Bobby Tambling won't be on dis ting' was going to be my entry for this year's thread title, alas too late

Hull don't look too bad. They don't really have a final ball* but pretty slick in possession with decent movement. They could probably afford to be more patient.

*I prescribe 1x Thudd. I would also really like to see Boyd

great double save then

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway: "I've got to learn what a foul is because I thought Nacer Chadli deliberately bodychecked Stephen Dobbie, smashed him down, and ran off with the ball.

"If the referee didn't see that, the assistant should have. You have to ask if he's good enough if he didn't see that. I don't see how he can miss that.

"A minute and a half later, we're arguing over whether it was deliberate handball.

"I don't understand how it was a penalty, or how Dean Moxey could have got out of the way of it. I had three players right behind him.

"It's going to be a long hard season for me with these people (referees). I had this with Blackpool. Certain clubs get fouls and others don't. Tottenham will feel that if they play Man United.

"Do I think I would have got that at Tottenham? No I don't. I just want a bit of fairness. I want a foul like anyone else would have got one.

"I've got a horrible taste in my mouth after that."

if I start the thread 'fuck off Ian Holloway', who's in?

Holloway otm

it would perhaps be instructive to observe how many penalties CPFC were awarded last season

it's about time a manager broke this code of silence bullshit about smaller clubs in the Prem getting fuck all from the officials

Havent seen it but wouldnt surprise me, the refs individually arent competent nor brave enough to be corrupt but the FA are far too happy to allow them to make the least-fuss decisions and deny subsequent action.

Mark Halsey said as much yesterday, it should've been incredible

he may have a point in the general case but I happened to be watching the minute or so of play he describes, and both were correct officiating calls imo

there was also a strong case for a spurs penalty in between that was not given

chelsea just had the most stonewall penalty of *all time, bro* denied against hull, admittedly when 2-0 up

ah yomp, missed ya

95% of yomps are blocked, of course, owing to thudd's sloth, but my word I hope they bruise

Is this the right thread for us spending FIF-TEEEN MILLLLION POU-UNDS on Pablo Osvaldo? Cos I'm feeling a bit bemused.

a perfect end to the best week of rickie lambert's life and the last week of his career as an epl first choice #9

wtf he was ours i thought

Awes

Starting to get concerned about you lot tbh

When did mourinho get so like jack dee

watching that Villa breakaway goal again, for much of the move the referee's further back than any Arsenal defender

It's the missus' birthday today and I've long been coveting this pin badge I saw in Clinton's, so I improvised this card from the boy. Amazingly it seems to be passing without comment.

well imo you are the bestest mummy and you deserve the badge

there it is

have any other liverpool fans got their suarez apology yet? i was out when he called yesterday but he left a lovely note.

Ha all i got was a text from bale said "soz m8 wont make next week foot's still a lil tender lol ~{(<3)}~"

the Arsenal panic bids begin...

not that a Utd supporter can really take the high ground

They're meant to have offered £10m for Cabaye - roughly £15m less than PSG were apparently quoted for him earlier this summer.

why do they even bother?

They started the summer boasting about their £90m or whatever, ergo nobody's going to accept any first offer they make, regardless of what it is - so might as well make it derisory. Might be the thinking.

Though there does seem to be an assumption on their and Utd's part that their hand strengthens as the window starts to close, which doesn't compute imo what with bumper tv money and all.

£11m bid now being reported. It'll be £11,000,001 by the end of the day.

Next week: Arsene handcuffs himself to a radiator in Everton's lobby and refuses to leave until they give him Seamus Coleman.

what a carcrash of a window, what the hell are they thinking

following anonanon's back-in-the-dating-game analogy, right now it's 4am, the nightclub is emptying out, and they're drunkenly slurring in the general direction of every girl who's left.

eh tbh if the analogy is to match the football transfer window it must surely involve a brothel

"It's fantastic to work with Mauricio," striker Osvaldo told BBC Sport.

"He's a great motivator and for me it's very important to work with people who appreciate and respect how I work."

He added: "For some years I've been working with people who don't appreciate how I work as a player, so it's great for me to to be working with people who do appreciate it."
