Pfffffft. This remark actuates an uncontrollable logical slide into situations where you forego your right to call Ashley Young a cunt.

I don't think I can recall a time when I've ever called a player a cunt. I don't really care about Ashley Young. Berbatov's dive was much worse as it sent us out of the FA cup last year.

And sure Suarez is a dick, or a cunt or whatever. That doesn't mean that he made the wrong decision.

Remember this save?

When Rafa took Gerrard off that game I think it started my initial hatred of Lucas. Don't know why but I just remember thinking "why". Funnily enough, had Neville not done a Suarez Lucas would've been the hero.

That's one of my favourite derbies. Is that the one where Dirk did the kung foo kick.

Lucas looks epic with his long hair

Speaking of epic long haired dudes, everyone must buy The Witcher 2! No excuses now!

Just discovered my CAM (#10) in FIFA career mode is a former BVB youth product. Tyrała.

Btw, Leitner is former 1860 Munich?!

Of course, so are both of the Bender twins & all of them are programmed to hate your Bayern guts

REVIERDERBY Mofos!

Huge history behind this..
Here is a recap of some old games from Schalke's perspective:
Das Revierderby [1/2]
Das Revierderby [2/2]

Here's a documentary on the derby during the most heated times around the 80ies:
...die sind eben so - Teil 1
...die sind eben so - Teil 2
It focuses on racist/Nazi ultra groups. Yup, both clubs had openly racist fans groups back then. It wasn't much different in England though. Still happens in a lot of leagues too..

Jens Lehmann's header goal vs. us..

The most recent and memorable game:

2006/2007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKVBwaFRK2w

Two games before the end of the season they were on top of the league:

...until we beat their ass at home (first time since 1998)

..and basically prevented them from becoming the German champions:

..which would be their first championship since.......1958. Hence one of our taunts: Ein Leben lang keine Schale in der Hand (a whole life no championship trophy in your hands). We even chartered a plane to make sure they got the message ;O

During 2000-10, they were runner-ups for 4 times. In 2000/2001 they missed the championship by some 4 minutes...
Here's a recap:

With the title seemingly slipping away from Schalke 04 once again, bundesliga.de recalls a dramatic battle at distance with Bayern.



So yeah and in some 4 hours they'll try to mess up our championship too :O

the near death of Liverpool FC

surely that is an exaggeration.

We were hours away from administration. Wasn't exactly ideal.

it's hard to care about tonights game. i hope though, heynckes will give some players a little rest.

Allegri: "Muntari's ghost goal is weighing in a devastating manner"


Kill me now.

There's a clear media strategy behing it, Yurt. He says it, Berlusconi's media outlets echo it ad nauseam, everybody starts believing it. Fortunately, there's Conte. Still, if I were him, I'd start repeating the same thing over and over again, replacing 'Muntari' with 'Matri'. Or maybe "Pepe's not convalidated goal against Genoa is weighing in a devastating manner."

ribery deserves a break too imo we'll see. i dont expect a pretty game. im sure mainz will run like crazy. as usual :|

Oh god yes

LFC XI

Jones, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Spearing, Henderson, Downing, Gerrard, Suarez, Carroll

 

[bjaelke]

No Enrique?

 

[GorillaJu]

Almost hard to watch these highlights with Ian Rush and John Barnes. If I were Wilbury, I might say there's not a man alive who's dick I wouldn't suck to have two players like those back in the team.

Spoiler

Sterling will be > Barnes

 

[elseanio]

No Enrique?

He's sub GK

I think it'll be carra RB Johnson LB

 

[Salazar]

“For me, he is the most iconic figure in British football,” said Carragher. “You have great players and great managers and he is in both camps. Stein, Busby, Ferguson, Paisley, Shankly, Clough, Dalglish - they’re all the great managers. And he is in with all the great players as well. No one else is in both camps.

Genuinely fucking dying rn.

 

[Nevasleep]

Pretty appalling that this game isn't on normal TV, or even Sky.

This. Who thought it would be a good idea to sell ESPN football rights.
Only reason it's still around is so VM can get back at Sky.

 

[Yen]

Carra...oh shit

 

[GorillaJu]

He's sub GK

I think it'll be carra RB Johnson LB

RB has been a real weakness for us. Carragher offers nothing going forward, but neither does Flanagan, and Johnson is better than Enrique, even at left back, so I can definitely understand the decisions.

 

[bjaelke]

He's sub GK

Gulacsi will be ready to claim his spot should he get the chance.

 

[Stimpy]

Poor old Maxi, I think he must have ran over Kenny's dog at some point or something.

 

[GorillaJu]

Gulacsi will be ready to claim his spot should he get the chance.

Gulasci is better than Jones, IMO. Gulacsi is actually an excellent keeper - if he doesn't leave us for more game time, he'll be the next after Reina to wear the shirt.

 

[Wilbur]

If I were Wilbury, I might say there's not a man alive who's dick I wouldn't suck

Everton team out yet?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Baines seems a nice bloke.

 

[bjaelke]

Someone at Wembley brought a "Holy Comolli we're down to one goalie" banner :lol

I've only seen him play in one U21 game for his national team.

edit

Subs: Gulacsi, Enrique, Maxi, Kuyt, Shelvey, Kelly, Bellamy.

 

[Stimpy]

Baines seems a nice bloke.

Very random but he sat behind me not long ago in a restaurant in Formby, was talking on his phone to someone and heard him mention Fellaini, went outside and there was a Bentley parked next to my car, I assume it was his

 

[Ushojax]

fixed

Everton team out yet?

Howard, Neville, Distin, Heitinga, Baines, Osman, Fellaini, Gibson, Gueye, Cahill, Jelavic

Worried about the damage Baines will do from the left

C'mon lad. Proper threat, he could be.

Was is it this one?

 

[WJD]

Can't believe this is on ESPN.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Aggar for Enrique. wow.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Liverpool got this Carroll and Suarez 2-0

 

[Stimpy]

Was is it this one?

Nope it was a dark colour, it may not even have been his quite a few footballers live in Formby, some very nice houses down there.

 

[Salvadora]

Liverpool got this Carroll and Suarez 2-0

Yeah I think Liverpool will nick this but lets not go to far, 1-0 Suarez.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

4 CBs

Dalglish playing for the draw.

 

[Yurt]

The English Vidal is going to score, I can feel it.

 

[Stimpy]

Madness

Skip to 3:39, I guess that guy really really wanted to watch the match, nutter

 

[Yen]

Carra will be directly responsible for a goal and then be sent off.

 

[Mastadon]

Yep, just put some money on a penalty given when I saw he was playing.

Do you think you'll win?

The bet or the match?

The match

Bet is a certainty, especially with Webb...

If Enrique's not injured, Carragher starting is pretty outrageous tbh. Talk about a self-made noose

 

[bjaelke]

Enrique is benched but could obviously still be recovering. I personally think it's because we're playing a 3-5-2 with Johnson and Downing as wingbacks.

 

[Salazar]

He licked every inch of Kenny in that interview.

Least Kenny could do in return is prolong an embarrassingly dwindling career for another big game.

Has he started the 'hamstring' injuries?

I'm starting to envy the way you treated Neville. As soon as Neville wasn't any longer better than Rafael, he was on the bench. As soon as he wasn't good enough for the bench, he realised it himself and retired. Meanwhile we make excuse after excuse for Carragher to start. I hope he has a stormer today obviously, but I honeslty cannot believe that Enrique misses out on a Cup semi-final at the end of a decent season (one of the few) so that Carragher can get one last day in the sun (or two if we make the final, which tbh is less likely with Carragher starting)

 

[Salazar]

I'm starting to envy the way you treated Neville.

I think a lot of us feel he was allowed too many senior moments. But in general, yeah.

Good mix of Red and Blue
