Nah that's how Carlo speaks. I reckon our midfield sat will be Mikel/Essien/Ramires

Lamps might play one half, but I doubt it.

I read that Lamps isn't traveling with them. Was on Sky sports normally quite reliable. Guess shall see.

Yeah, we'll see first thing tomorrow.

Edit: yeah, no Lamps.

:happy: I was correct. Urgh tho, I gotta be up at like half 4/5 am to get there..

Why that early lmao? Isn't it like 300km?

[dR3]

Oh, I thought you lived in London.

Well, good luck waking up then, lmao. Or try not to fall asleep.

[MikeNUFC]

Cause i live by the coast now (Or rather have done for a good 2 years now) Takes like a hour and a half to get to London from here then it is another few hours from London to Manchester.

EDIT: p.s i only like Sky when i can't get to games. Otherwise them moving kick off times piss me off. Especially seen as im likley to miss Both Newcastle and sunderland away (Though gotta blame the F.A for that one.)

Sky are a joke. Last season they moved Sunderland's match with Portsmouth at Fratton Park to a Monday night. Obviously didn't effect me but that's fucking ridiculous. Winds me up lol.

Really pumped for today's match, can't wait! We need to play aggressive, Anelka gonna score for sure!

At least Liverpool can now concentrate on the Champions Lea... the Premier Leag... their families.

lol

It's noticeable how much we need Lampard, you can see how important he is for the midfield.
Ramires was not up to level today, he lost almost all duels and made that crucial mistake.

Two losses in a row hurt, but that's it, it happens. We'll seek for rehabilitation against Marseille and Arsenal. WE CAN DO IT!

[MikeNUFC]

The media are ridiculous

Last week Chelsea had the title wrapped up and were unbeatable. Suddenly, they're terrible and Man City, who only 2 weeks ago were ridiculed are suddenly title contenders.

When will commentators, papers and pundits realise not to make such big statements after every match? The season changes every week, discuss the match, not how it's going to effect the overall final table becuase, get this, we wont know until May! Amazing right?

Incredible win for West Brom though. Never ever saw that coming.

well done west brom

Tho i credit the fact you are not being one of these "Its all over" kind of supporters, I feel your judgement lacks sometimes. We can and have played well without Lamps and infact as much as i knew Ramires would get slated for the mistake the guy actually had a fairly decent game (Though t.v will dictate to what you got to see and heard through commentary) The guy was one of the only ones who was willing to go foward and take risks he just got caught out more than others so probably seemed to play worse while others hid from sight.... I can name a few more who should of been slated above him.

Yeah he takes risks, has the speed, the skill, but needs to work on physical strength a lot more imo. He'll get a lot better with time tho, every player needs time to adapt to his new team's way of playing.

As for the game, Was irritating because most players didn't seem to want to take risks and make runs with the ball, Even off the ball runs where poor. Drogba had yet another off day (which imo is why he isn't on par with most top class strikers) He has to many days where he seems uninterested. We didn't really play untill they scored and although i feel we deserved a draw it isnt the way to get it. The ref seemed awful but in all honesty im going to rewatch to see for sure, and even them tho that effected us to a degree it's going to happen time to time and cant be soley blamed.

Agreed about Drogba, he really seemed uninterested, Malouda too.

Oh, and I can see Josh wearing that #8 shirt in a few years from now.

[dR3]

Yeah he's really comfortable with the ball for a 17 year old playing in the strongest league in the world.

[SajN]

FUCK IS DAVID VILLA'S PROBLEM????!?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!!


He gets red card two minutes before the end because he hit another player.... fuck a villa!

[dR3]

We didn't win.
Man U didn't win.
Arsenal didn't win.
Loserpool didn't win.
Inter didn't win.
Real Madrid didn't win.
Bayern didn't win.
Lyon didn't win.


What a weekend, lol.

[dR3]

I agree, his main problem is his attitude, just remember the last match of last season. He got mad at Lampard for not letting him take the penalty, lol.
