What if Liverpool wins it?

He's no top of the league defender
He hasn't been a starter for about a year now. I think it's hard for anyone to know exactly how good or bad he may now be.

Dear oh dear Brenton. Are they all out to get you? Have you been reading too much RAWK/Arnie's Twitter feed?

For fuck's sake, he's just earned himself a touchline ban.
'Watch the match and form your own opinion'
That's all he has to say. Everyone knows the ref and linesman were shit.
Oh me.
United were the better team today and they didn't win with lucky ref decisions.
So far despite having one of the biggest c*nts in the league Liverpool haven't fluked too many games.... will Liverpool win the league this season tho.....

Higuain!! (For £48 million!!)
Liverpool were a bit unfortunate with some of the refereeing decisions, but they still had some relatively easy chances to score. They're the best team to have played at the Etihad this season tho. Mingolet had a howler tho. Can't legislate for that.
On the United front; we played poorly but still won. The performance wasn't great, but we're scoring goals again and winning when we're not playing well. We weren't doing that earlier in the season.

About right. Seems like a bargain. :/
This twat was in charge for us today and missed a stonewall second yellow card for Steven Reid. He really is awful, some of these newer refs are Atkinson-standard.

Hurm Sleepless do you want to lose?
All these shitty decisions do balance themselves out over time. May be frustrating at the time granted, but there will be calls in the future that Liverpool get in their favour.
Only complete braindead folks think clubs are top of the league or even win leagues on "luck". Absurd.

OT, but Sightseerers is on More4 at 9 (i think it;s More4).
WATCH IT. Brill film.

The Abramovic and Mansour takeovers were pretty lucky, no?
I don't subscribe at all to the notion of bad decisions balancing themselves out

If you think in the space of one season all the dumb luck of bad refs perfectly balances itself out then you're delusional.
Not at all. Poor referring is part and parcel of the english game (sadly). For every time there is a bad decision against us it is annoying yes, but then again I can think of times we have got the rub of the green.
Both of you are saying that certain clubs (guessing yours) are unfairly targeted and get a huge overwhelming number of poor decisions against them
Pretty sure some fan of every club would say that. So guess what, some other team benefits from that.
People like to remember decisions which go against them. Never the other way around.
Not saying that, but refs don;t win or lose games. People like to focus on poor decisions and not on the ones they get. Per example, Arsenal fans moaning about the Chelsea ref. When they forget Rosicky should have been sent off for two poor challenges. It goes both ways, that's my point.
Teams don't win and lose the majority of football games based on refs. And teams aren't top of the league because of luck.
People like to scapegoat refs, and it isn't as straightforward as; we are 4th because of Lee Mason or City are top because of Howard Webb. That's madness.

Damn, Mr and Mrs Smith is boss
I don't think that Arsenal are unfairly targeted or get a huge number of bad decisions against us.
In fact, we probably fair better than most (Arteta pen). But looking at decisions that have gone our way doesn't sate me in the slightest, I just find bad refereeing entirely egregious.

I'm genuinely fearful about playing anyone decent under Sherwood. I've never seen anyone just sit and watch their midfield get outnumbered and dominated and refuse to use their 3rd sub to bring on a holding mid.

Provided there are no major fuck ups, the next few weeks could be rather nice for us. Could be signings and we might actually get back into the top four all being well.
Our midfield wasn't dominated, we had 70% of the ball. Holtby and Chiriches just played a stupid first half, leaving gaps and giving the ball away. Second half West Brom never even came close to testing Lloris, Capoue would have made no difference.
We should have won this game 1-0, our defending on the free kick was embarrassing to watch. Ade and Chiriches should have cleared it easily.
They were getting scrambled all game even if they dominated possession. We had like 20 shots on goal with only 3 on target, WB had 7 with 4 on target.
It like the exact same shit we had with AVB just approached from the other side.

Looking at out squad's stats, no one other than Rooney has more than 2 assists in our entire squad (in the PL).
Has anyone here seen the Desolation of Smaug? I caught it today and wasn't particularly impressed.
Smaug was magnificant and easily the best part of the movie, but something just felt off. It was very videogamey and as a massive fan of the book, most of the added stuff just felt unnecessary.

Saw it today as well. I tell you what, after sitting through like 15 minutes of that elf-dwarf-elf love triangle I wanted to strangle Jackson after that ending.
Smaug, Spiders & the Barrell escape was cool though.
This is why we need better players to take the load off Rooney. A decent midfielder and we could keep Rooney upfield, playing his natural game. Right now we're asking him to do too much. His delivery from free kicks has improved tremendously.
And we nedd RVP to get back to fitness. Moyes needs to give him his own tailored training regime to cut down the injuries.

Dude it was fucking terrible. Benedict Cumshot was good as Smaug, tho. The movie climaxed before the gathering of the clouds chapter

Moyes even admitted today that Rooney was doing 2-3 jobs on the pitch. That's implicitly saying that most of your other players aren't carrying their own weight - fairly damning I thought.
