[HearMeNow]

My team havnt won in 10, dropped right down the table and now pretty much in the relegation mix and im guessing one of the worst form teams out of the 92. This guys team are 1 point off the top of the table.

Worst I've ever felt was when we got demoted after the 89-90 play-off win against Sunderland for "financial irregularities" which was quickly followed by the likes of Spurs throwing their toys out of the cot when threatened with the same punishment for the same "crime" - big club/small club they backed down like the bunch of spineless twats they are. Never cried though - what a big girl's blouse!

In the process he became the first player in the Merseyside derby history to score a hat-trick since Ian Rush's quadruple in 1982 and only the 5^th Liverpool player to achieve the feat at Anfield.

Andy Carroll looked pretty useful last night as well, he looked much more like the player he was at Newcastle

Another meaningless merseyside derby i.e. they're both playing for fuck all again this season, and long may it continue

Zamorano

Still an outside chance of a 4th place finish with 10 games to go and Chelsea & Newcastle still to play plus a slightly easier run in than the rest of the teams around us but realistically i think the FA cup is our best bet this season

[Head Creeps]

Fair play to Chelski I guess. Not that they have any chance to win it... I see 2 favorites and 2 outsiders, the rest seem like extras to me.
Not the best of games, but still a beast! see you next season:

[liamb123]

Cavani did fuck all tonight

Lavezzi was very impressive again though. Whenever i've seen napoli in serie a he's looked dangerous in pretty much every game ...although saying that i've also been impressed with big zlatan in italy


Gotta love the Napoli fans though. Moody as fuck and not a replica shirt in sight

Their only enemy is inconsistency.. I've seen them rape big opponents like Milan, Villareal, Man.C and obviously Chelsea.. usually at home. But a few days later they lose vs. your average serie A team.

And yeah, Cavani was pretty nonexistent tonight.. Lavezzi is probably their best player. Still, l love that picture too much not to post it

[liamb123]

Cavani and Lavezzi would be quality signings for any club in europe. No doubt city will put in a bid if they fuck Tevez off in the summer ...or even if he stays

Hamsik seems a bit... overrated

[onkologe]

some potentially great semi-finals ahead

first time in my life I'm rooting for milan

[r1Co]

clasico finale it will be, but I'm hoping for bayern - barca

[Head Creeps]

I deem Bayern absolutely chanceless versus Madrid. Barca's challenge lies in Milan, the next match should go easier. Hoping for a Classico final ofcourse, this age deserves one. I doubt there is many people saying those aren't the two best teams of this era.

we have to play O.M. first,and we're warned.some other german club did not look good @ the vélodrome.
I don't think we will win it this year,no team has done it at its home ground for a reason.and madrid would be the favourite by a long shot against us.not because of ronaldo,but because they defend against messi etc on a regular basis.ribery and robben wouldn't have a lot of chances.what it would take are sloppy defending by real and a level of defending we are pretty much incapable of these days.

HOWEVER, who thought we would advance against Man United 2 years ago.playing madrid are the highlight-matches for every bayern-supporter,regardless of the result.

Oh, Bayern will win against Marseille, easily

These ESPN pundits need to shut the fuck up.

[avi01]

that thing about Muamba is disturbing. Hope he can fight this.

[Dislecsyk]

Can't see it's good that there's no news yet. Nearly two hours since he collapsed.

[r1Co]

dutch soccer news site reports that he is stable, no cause determined yet

[r1Co]

can't edit, but same site reported last night that he's now in critical condition, fighting for his life. messed up

[Dislecsyk]

He was never officially reported as "stable", that was just Sky Sports trying to jump the gun and get an exclusive, the fucking tossers. Absolutely classless I hate the press sometimes. At least ESPN's people can be excused because it was a difficult situation and nobody knew how to react to it.

Hopefully he pulls through though, a fit 23 year old shouldn't be having a fucking heart attack

I was watching sky news and it took them all of about 20 seconds to move onto other news once they wrongly announced he was stable

Sky can be real cunts at times

Messi alltime goalscorer of Barcelona. Fucking took him long enough...

[r1Co]

yes, he's only 3 months away from turning 25. when he turned 21 I was like, jeez, hurry up already....


L L E G E N D A

[Dislecsyk]

Amazing. 34 goals in 27 league games (and 54 in all comps at this stage of the season) is just ridiculous. Also, I find it quite amusing that Ronaldo's very impressive 32 isn't enough to make him top scorer

[liamb123]

Leeds conceded 7 (seven) at home last night

Handy little site http://www.live-footballontv.com/

[r1Co]

Huntelaar is so unlucky that he's living in the age of messi (and even the other twat), I wonder if he'll ever get that golden shoe

[Head Creeps]

How incredibly appropiate for Mourinhos spokesperson to tweet "Ladies and gentleman. I ask you for a minute of silence. Football died of a heart attack today. Rest in peace".

[r1Co]

because of what happened @ villareal? jeez. Mourinho and his staff might be #1 in the world when it comes to "needs a reality check the most"

[liamb123]

Fabrice Muamba has just been spotted wearing a Get Well Liverpool t shirt.

[fatjohn79]

Last night was our season in a nutshell. A game we dominated but somehow managed to lose despite being 2-0 up with less than 15 minutes to go, we're lacking a 20 goals a season striker (Falcao from Athletico Madrid would be a great signing )and it's showing, having said that hitting the woodwork 25 times this season hasn't helped either

Are your owners going to trust dogleash (lol) to spend again this summer?

Done well in domestic cup competitions but 7th place and 28 points off 1st isn't exactly a sign of £100m being well spent
