Does anyone apart from the FA?
-----Giroud
Santi Ozil Ox
--Jack Flamini
Gibbs Kos Per Sagna
-------SZC
I think we could potentially see Podolski or Rosicky instead of Santi.

Conte seems insecure.

It's not impossible. You also have to play Man City and Chelsea, along with Spurs and Man Utd.
Far from over, and all in all I'd say Man City have the toughest matches until the end of the season, and all away against Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.
De Jong probably likes him.

I give you a 2% chance of winning the CL
A 15% chance of winning the FA Cup
A 1% chance of winning the league
Come June, only one of us will have achieved our preseason target
Shove that up your arse
Hope we smash the absolute fuck out of Swansea. Bollocks to Sturridge at CF if keeping him in the goals neuters Suarez like this.
Good luck with that.

Sviato, Garay scored.
I think he's decent. Not the best out there, but I see worse refs week in week out.
The whole supporting United thingy spouted by 11 year fifa UT players on twitter doesn't help his reputation.

Haha your team is shit. Deal with it. Haha can't wait for Tottenham/Everton to put your shit team back into Europa league.

Haha, whilst I really do hope Spurs get top 4 for 1) the lols and 2) it will make it much easier for us to break back in next season, I don't think they'll manage it in the end.
Although it is pretty amazing how close they still are it's rare that he best team doesn't win the title and that the best 4 teams don't make the top 4.
No. Capello seems like a cunt. That's because he is. I'm 100% behind Conte on this.
Has anything been said about it yet? I thought it was 6 weeks from January 31st.
That puts it at March 14th. Throw on another week for him to get some fitness and we are looking at the 21st.
If he is back by the 21st he could play against Chelsea and City, but most likely will have missed Tottenham and Bayern.
He's right though, when Kallstrom comes back we'll walk the league.

The worst thing for his reputation is the one that the FA gave him in the first place. There is much more focus on him that there is on the other refs as he's the guy the FA have decided to make the face of our top level officiating, and he consistently fucks up.
Its a combination of doing a job under the microscope, and doing it badly.
don't pretend like Diaby wouldn't snap Allen and Gerrard in half
gah that game was such a disaster for so many reasons
It was 4 to 6 weeks I believe so he could very well be fit by March 6th to 7th. He needs to hit the ground running.
Yeah that's fair.
Prem officiating isn't perfect granted, but it could be a whole lot worse. The difference when we had Phil Dowd/clattenburg this and last year is monumental to our league refs.
It is Arsenal so I am going to go with 6 weeks. If it were 4 we would have heard something by now.

hamstring injuries are notoriously difficult to gauge properly, especially when Arsenal's famed medical team is involved. expect him to be rushed back for Bayern (if we haven't been routed in the home leg) only to injure himself again and miss the entire run in.
A scrappy cup win the the mass delusions are back.
Nah, I have been saying we are going to win the Treble since preseason.
What difference does it make if he says he saw it or not. He isn't the ref.

2-0
fantastic strike.

Diaby was awesome last season against us, but I'm worried he's approaching the point of being permacrocked now. I think Asprsenal need to replace him in the summer sadly, he just can't be relied upon. He's a bonus player at this point, you're planning your season without him in mind.
I think Ox could be that player long term. He's so good for his age.
I still can't believe we're trusting the likes of him and Sterling to Roy fucking Hodgeson in the summer.
Anyway, rather than letting the likes of Baki bring us all down, I'm just going today well played and good luck in the rest of the competition. Arsenal are too good a team to have not won anything for 8 years, so I hope they win the FA cup this year.
You see what an Arsenal win does for them now, Lambda? The shit is once again streaming out like an overflowing septic tank.
And this is the result you wanted. Let this be a harsh lesson to you for ever hoping that Arsenal triumph.

But Diaby hasn't played this Liverpool team yet, if we had the same squad from last year then maybe you might have a point. Let's talk again when he has played this Liverpool team, but then again he probably never will considering how fragile of a player he is.
Except he isn't right.
A scrappy cup win the the mass delusions are back.
Pretty much.

Yeah, I saw. I'm tired of the speculation though. It makes no sense from a Benfica standpoint anyway. Your president is just planting stories in the Portuguese press so at the end of the window he can boast about he staved off the efforts of the mighty Russian oil giants and kept their man to deflect attention from the fact that he sold your best player to Chelsea on the cheap.
Capello being a cunt doesn't preclude Conte from being insecure. I mean the hair piece isn't doing him any favours in that regard.

Then why pretend otherwise? Just say you saw it, should have been a pen, things happen... move on. He makes it a bigger issue with his bollocks about not seeing things.

Puts a bit of a fire under Rodgers and the team, imo
Failure to secure 4th or higher from this position, and it'll just be another cupless season in which we failed to get back into the CL spots

He's been permacrocked for a while now. honestly, I think he'd be better off just retiring after his contract expireshe likely won't play a single minute this season and that's after only playing 10 matches or so last season. Wenger said last season was his last chance at proving he could have a place in the squad and Diaby did everything right; had a proper pre-season, was playing and training well, only to get injured all over again. At some point he has to question whether it's worth putting his body through such a beating when it clearly can't handle it. He's had bad injury luck but at this point, it's also clear that his body is simply too fragile to handle a season of football.

Please, I only do this to counterbalance the delusional Liverpool fans. I never instigate.
Why? So Liverpool fans can feel vindicated?

I don't like what's happening right now, but I'm tired of hearing Capello criticising our team and Conte all the way from Russia.
They're both wrong. Just pick up the phone and sort it out with him, not through the media.
I don't see how he's being "insecure", but okay. If Capello can talk shit about him / this Juve, so can Conte. It's been a long time coming too. He's not one to turn the other cheek, never has been.
