Thank fuck for that
2 wrongs do make a right if they happen in the same game, without the first wrong swinging the momentum too much. It doesn't excuse the ref, but it legitimises the result.
Sturridge and Sterling were disappointing, Suarez no more than decent. Lucas was very good when he came on. Gerrard didn't get booked, think he's reached the amnesty now.
Phew. Didn't enjoy that game one bit

West Ham was organised and started well. Always felt this would be difficult on their turf.

Mou is too busy with the CL to worry about regional competitions.

You've become boring as fuck over the last couple of weeks.
It wasn't our best performance, West Ham were really organized in defense. I dunno, we did it. 3 huge, huge points. I was absolutely convinced this is where our streak would end, and thought my fears were justified as the game went on and a draw looked more and more inevitable. Huge sigh of relief.
That's actually from Big Sam though, he got his tactics right. Played a deep line and leave just one up top. Can't get hit on the counter and can't get played through by Coutinho with so many bodies in there. Excellent tactically, even if it's extremely annoying.
Second penalty could easily not of been given, but their goal was also controversial.
Lucas was very good when he came on. Gerrard didn't get booked, think he's reached the amnesty now.

Lucas was very good when he came on, Gerrard has to survive the City game before he has a yellow card suspension.
He had a similar role earlier in the season before his injury, albeit running from a deeper position. Strangely enough our team had no idea how to deal (read
Gerrard's new position has changed his role considerably.
He did, that was against Stoke away. He played badly then, because like you say, no one knew how to deal with him. Today he seemed to link well and certainly played better than Coutinho.
Meier, please.
The referee's association is making up for all of the decisions that went City's way before our clash. Deflecting eyes from that oil money.

Just very quickly off the top of my head from watching the second half:
Carroll did not foul Henderson at edge of box -- got the ball. Stopped a West Ham attack right outside the penalty area.
Henderson should have been called for handball just outside the box at the end of the game. Would have set up a dangerous FK for West Ham.
I didn't see the Tomkins handball to comment but heard it could have gone either way.

lucas looked bright playing further forward, his ability to hold the ball really benefits our build up play. it was nice to see

no i haven't.
Carroll is a dirty fouling bastard and did foul Hendo.
Henderson didn't handball it. His hands were by his sides and it was hit at him at point blank range. If that's a handball we'd have had 3 more pens.
Pen I agree with, as I stated before.
And none of that is comparable to the shit City have got away with which is absolutely blatant, so get back in the water.

Carroll got the ball first, no foul was committed.
By his sides? He brought his arm in front of his face and it hit his arm. Yeah, it would have been harsh and unlucky, but that was not a natural occurrence. He purposely used his arm.
Honestly, I have no opinion on it personally as I didn't see it. I'm sure I could have picked out numerous other incorrect decisions if I watched the first half. Just heard the NBC announcer mention he'd made 3 big, tough decisions.

City and Chelsea are moral champions, we don't need all those penalties gifted to us.
:lol
Lol. Carroll's challenge was a foul. You'd have gone crazy if it was against you.
Henderson had his hand tucked to his body.
Both penalties were legit. Hell, we could have had another pen with the Armero handball no one mentions.
Justice was done today.
He has to survive the City game yet.
If a player has too many yellow cards at certain dates, they'll have to serve a suspension. Currently Gerrard has 9, the next suspension is 10 and the date he can serve a suspension by is next week, against City. Welcome to the thread!
the real battle starts now
Not really. It's just so tiresome to hear the same old shit every week when it happens to every top team. You could count 4 or 5 incorrect or even questionable decisions that benefit every team in every game. But it doesn't fit the storyline that people want to tell.
Beauty.

it's not bitterness, it's hilariousness on how some are quick to point out and moan about other teams getting game defining decisions but when they get them it's "oh, 2 wrongs make a right, whatever".
been said before, some folks can't handle catching a whiff of success.
Fady seems like a complete Hyde/Jekyll character when it comes to stuff like this lol
This is describing whom? It sounds literally like the thread today.

I'm not sure who I want to win the title. On the face of it, Liverpool seems to be the obvious choice as they are the underdog, they haven't bought their way to a title like Man City, and it's a new team on the list of PL winners. However, if Liverpool do win the Liverpool supporters will be even more insufferable then before. Can we not just call it a draw and move onto next season?
