[Marc Overmars]

This weekend fixtures layout hurts me eyes.

[Cripps_orig]

Blame the bbc website

[Cripps_orig]

Lawro is taking on Kermit and Miss Piggy.

The muppets (actual ones, not Lawro) have predicted Liverpool to win 35-27

[Rors]

Mirror Group :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

That can't be genuine.

[Marc Overmars]

Hope the Mancs win. Going for 2-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Man Utd. :sick:

[Ollie the Optimist]

the racist starts

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez starts :popcorn:

Hope he fucks up Evra

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on SS2 now, Soccer Saturday on SSN.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fowler is on SSN again. Le Tiss. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Cripps_orig]

You'd have thought Carroll would have started and done the same to De Gea as he did in the cup match recently.

Kenny :doh:

How hes still in a job, i'll never know

[Cripps_orig]

Will Suarez and the **** shake hands?

Let me know

[Marc Overmars]

Not sure why Bellamy is left out as well.

Kenny going for the 0-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i.imgur.com/eT8FW.jpg

Police have been seizing these apparently.

Oh and Suarez rejected the handshake. :rolleyes:

[Rors]

Suarez - SUAREZ - neglected the handshake...

[Marc Overmars]

Rio blanked him after that as well.

This is going to be good. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Emmanuel Frimpong @Frimpong26AFC
I have just today realised Suarez is a total wasteman Clown

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evra just took out Rio. :lol:

[Joker]

Really poor from Suarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson shoots, going wide probably - comfortable enough for De Gea anyway.

[Ollie the Optimist]

gained respect fro evra there, which just shows how much of a **** suraez is. evra tried the handshake just to get on with it but suarez thinks its unfair he was punished

[Rors]

Valencia does the old 'was able to keep my footing until I was over that white-line-thing' thing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It can't be a huge surprise I guess when Kenny said he never should have been suspended in the first place.

[Marc Overmars]

gained respect fro evra there, which just shows how much of a **** suraez is. evra tried the handshake just to get on with it but suarez thinks its unfair he was punished

Suarez is a little wanker tbh. Looks like Welbeck and Valencia took exception to rejecting the handshake as well.

2 footers. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jose Enrique is not having a good start. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i.minus.com/ihQW3lvkIebDk.gif

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson shoots just wide, brilliant chance. Evra was left for dead there.

[Rors]

FourFourTom @FourFourTom
Luis Suarez wasn't being pathetic - refusal to shake someone's hand is a compliment in Uruguay, plus his grandfather had hands.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuyt. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafael shoots, Welbeck does an airshot when a touch would've probably sent it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Suarez :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney shoots, way wide. This has been terrible. I've been saying that a lot recently.

BLitW. :bow:

[Rors]

This match sucks. It's all taking place in a single 50 x 30 square area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Free header for Scholes, right at Reina!

[Rors]

"Great save" sayeth the Winter :wacko:

[Cripps_orig]

Great save Reina

Best keeper in England

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuyt. :lol:

Dear me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good defending by Rio.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Finding it hard to stay awake. . .eaten my third bag if caburys fingers

[Japan Shaking All Over]

The art of defending is not dead. . .Rio

[Rors]

Spearing and Rooney. Faces that could melt the hardest of hearts....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Downing booked.

[Rors]

Downing :lol: I mean...what's the point? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez is going mental. :lol:

Thought it was a good challenge by Rio.

[GP]

that was a foul

[Rors]

Emmanuel Eboue @TheRealEboue
Luiz suarez contribution on the game so far was not shaking hands.. racist fool.. he can shake my ass next time he sees me.

:blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

What is Suarez doing? :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Eboue :bow:

:blink:

:haha:

WTF?

[Marc Overmars]

Why wasn't Suarez booked for hammering the ball away?

Wouldn't surprise me if he's taken off.

Shite ass game, Mancs playing the better football but Liverpool defending very well as all good pub teams do.

[Rors]

As they're a pub team you're duty-bound to describe them as "an outfit"

[Rors]

Here we go....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Punch-up in the tunnel!

[Marc Overmars]

Fight!

[Rors]

Ratboy with the BTLIW +1!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie Redknapp. :lol:

Neville clearly think he is a tit.

[Cripps_orig]

BTLIW?

[Rors]

BTLIW?

:lol: Not a spelling mistake worth pulling up on.. Makes you as bad as them..

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Well there was no mass no handshake plan on behalf of Mancs. . .De Gea true to form as the brainless twat he looks, needs to have his hand pulled away by Evra. . .Rio refuses but from Carrick they all do. . .

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Liverpool, Rooney! Good assist by Henderson.

[Cripps_orig]

1-0

Rooney

[Rors]

Oh come on Smudger, "timing of volley". Johnson gave him aeons to take it down anyway.

[Marc Overmars]

Rooneeeeeeeeeeey

:tyler:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Good goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0, Rooney again! Liverpool collapsing. :haha:

Spearing. :haha:

[Ernesto]

What happend

Yeah, I wanna know more about what happened in the tunnel at HT, too!

The game's null and void now. Had Liverpool scored first, would've been all right.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great cross Giggs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Rooney balls it up? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Downing. :haha:

Pub team control.

Spearing and Downing hauled off, Carroll and Bellamy on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yeah, I wanna know more about what happened in the tunnel at HT, too!

The game's null and void now. Had Liverpool scored first, would've been all right.

Here


There was trouble in the tunnel at half-time too, according to Sky Sports. Patrice Evra tried to speak to Luis Suarez but Martin Skrtel got involved and the incident escalated. There was a scrum involving several players, stewards and the police and it took both teams about five minutes to get into the dressing rooms.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16996060

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jose Enrique has had his arse handed to him by Valencia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggsy 12-0 Gerrard. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck shoots, Johnson blocks it, floats easily for Reina to take.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuyt hauled off, Adam on.

[Cripps_orig]

Have Liverpool looked as shit as they have sounded?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carrick booked.

[Cripps_orig]

2-1 Liverpool

Suarez :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 2-1 Liverpool, Suarez! Terrible defending.

[Marc Overmars]

Had to be him! :haha:

[Rors]

Shoddy stuff Ferdinand. You were able to shovel one out of play like that first half..not this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez appealing for a pelanty after striking the ball against Carroll - I can understand the sentiment.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Suarez appealing for a pelanty after striking the ball against Carroll - I can understand the sentiment.

Tbf he probably thinks Carrol was brought on to help Utd

[Rors]

"Go on Charlie". A tactical master is our Kenny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pass from Suarez.

[GP]

Carroll :lol:

He's not very good

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[Cripps_orig]

De Gea with a great save

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson goes for the wondergoal, De Gea tips it over.

[Rors]

De Gea makes the same save he made on Sunday...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney. :haha:

[Rors]

Smudger gives Rooney MOTM. There's a pattern emerging here..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT. Very sloppy from Man Utd but they win, again.

Liverpool. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

2-1 FT :bow:

Tis what i predicted

Good start to the weekend

[Cripps_orig]

Something happening?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Punch-up time again!

Evra doesn't really need to celebrate like that.

[Cripps_orig]

And that is why Evra is a ****

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Do I have anyone's permission to break Evra's legs?

[Marc Overmars]

Evra celebrating in front of Suarez. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Evra in thunder**** shocker.

[GP]

Do I have anyone's permission to break Evra's legs?

Racist

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Racist
Where I come from it's a compliment.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Evra needs a fuvking slap for what he did. . .I do not condone what Suarez did but Evra needs to show some decency. . , only Manc fans would say he could do that. . .

[Ernesto]

Evra is a real tw@t.

Must be something to do with that b*st*rd of a club. RatBoy used to celebrate like a madman at the end of games v Liverpool and Man City, too.

Yet, they get away with it, even though they could incite a riot. Dowd with a fatherly hug, urging Evra to wait before walking into the tunnel, where the baying mob of dejected Liverpool players. No plastic fans can protect you there, you moron.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Where I come from it's a compliment.

Classic reducer.

[Cripps_orig]

On we go to the 3pm games

5 live doing Blackburn v QPR :sleep:

"That's contrary to what I was told". Well that implies that Kenny WAS aware of what happened with the handshakke.

Oh here we go!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kenny is laying in to Geoff Shreeves. :haha:

[Rors]

Kenny.Cracking.Up

[Joker]

Don't think Evra's done anything wrong, he was celebrating with his fans, big deal. No need for the Liverpool players to get involved.

[Cripps_orig]

Kenny :haha:

[Rors]

here comes another +1...

[Rors]

Redders trying to play Angel's Advocate here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah well, time to turn over now. Fergie interview on soon however. :popcorn:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Something as trivial as the handshake doesn't really deserve much analysis (but but it's ENGLAND you HAVE to), but seems to me that Evra might have only offered his hand after Suarez had got past him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-0 Chelsea, Pienaar!

[Marc Overmars]

Fergie says Suarez is a disgrace and shouldn't be allowed to play for Liverpool again. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Stelling presenting it as if Ferguson is the oracle. :rolleyes:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Fergie says Suarez is a disgrace and shouldn't be allowed to play for Liverpool again. :lol:


Fergie :bow: have always like that guy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 1-0 QPR, Yakubu! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson on Luis Suarez's decision not to shake Patrice Evra's hand before kick-off, and Evra's celebrations at full-time following United's win: "I couldn't believe Suarez refused Evra's handshake. Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool football club. He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again, the history of that club. He could have caused a riot. Racism is an important issue and football has come a long way since the days of bananas being thrown at John Barnes. Evra shouldn't have jumped in front of Suarez in celebration at the end. He shouldn't have done that."

Fergie criticising Evra. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-0 Stoke, Pogrebnyak!

[Cripps_orig]

Blackeye 2-0 QPR, Nzonzi. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Graham. :bow:

Vindicates my FF decision to swap Jose Enrique for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 2-0 Stoke, Dempsey hits the bar, bounces in off Sorensen's neck.

Stoke. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Is that a Dempsey goal?

Please let it be :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is that a Dempsey goal?

Please let it be :pray:

It'll be an own goal.

[Marc Overmars]

Stoke in freefall. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Stoke in freefall. :bow:

When do we play them

[Marc Overmars]

When do we play them

No idea.

That will probably be the game they return to form though.

[Ernesto]

No idea.

That will probably be the game they return to form though.

Penultimate away game of the season. I think any participation in the FA Cup may postpone this game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC's live text commentary is going back in time apparently.

[Dennis Bendtner]

BBC's live text commentary is going back in time apparently.

It's useless. Has been doing stuff like this all afternoon. In the early game it deleted everything that had already happened when it refreshed, before re-shitting it out one by one. Spelling mistakes and score mishaps are understandable, but this new system sucks.

[Master Splinter]

BBC :haha:.

[Marc Overmars]

Emmanuel Frimpong @Frimpong26AFC
Liverpool supporters saying Evra celebrated like he won the League..Am surprised They remember what that looks Like LOOOL

[Cripps_orig]

BBC :haha:

If it aint broke, dont fix it

Its still on the Swansea goal for me.

Just seen the Manc goals and incidents and now they are showing the Kenny interview :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Pundits on the Firstrow stream says Suarez should be kicked out

I agree

We should get him

[Joker]

Pundits on the Firstrow stream says Suarez should be kicked out

Wouldn't get along with our black players. Plus he's a twat.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Of course he is.

But every single player is to some extent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC have had to revert to a manual update system for this game. :haha:

[Young Guns 11]

Come on the toon! Win this and we'll "only" be 7 points behind the yiddos!

[Cripps_orig]

24 goals in 7 games so far and you expect a few at Spuds

MOTD could be worth watching

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We won. It's definitely worth watching.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-0 Barcodes, Assou-Ekotto.

[Cripps_orig]

No chance Newcastle will come back from 4 down against a North London club....

Kranjcars goal came froma rebound of an Ade shot. Does that count as an Ade assist?

I imagine it would.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 HT. :lol:

Talksport commentator was unsure if Ade should be MotM or not. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Talksport commentator was unsure if Ade should be MotM or not. :wacko:

Didn't score enough tbf.

If Ba scored two pels now, he'd win MOTM.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0 FT.

Barcodes. :haha:

Pretty good weekend for us tbf.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Talksport commentator was unsure if Ade should be MotM or not. :wacko:

Let me gues, Matterface or Collymore

[Marc Overmars]

So all our direct rivals for 4th lose.

Time for a pint tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Lawro (:haha:) and Hansen on MOTD?

There's only one man's analysis I'd want when so many coloured players are grabbing the headlines.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let me gues, Matterface or Collymore

Nah, Matterface wasn't on.

And yeah Hansen is definitely on MotD tonight. Lawro is probably crying.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What's Lawro done now? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

What's Lawro done now? :lol:

He made a 'gentleman's bet' that Henry wouldn't score again after the Villa game.

[alexander]

What's Lawro done now? :lol:

just being a mullet haired fuck is enough.

[Master Splinter]

Stoke manager Tony Pulis, who was furious with referee Chris Foy over Pavel Pogrebnyak's second half tackle on Wilson Palacios: "I've had a player who pulled out of a tackle last week and got a three match ban, Pogrebnyak's tackle was ten times as bad and he didn't even get booked. If Chris Foy didn't see it then Kevin Friend certainly did. I'm disappointed with the inconsistency in the Premier League - we need some clarification on tackles."

Good to see Pulis not complaining again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I saw Thierry Henry's goal on his Gunners comeback in their win over Leeds in the FA Cup on Monday. I think we are going to see Henry come on with 20 minutes or so to go quite a lot in the next few weeks but I'm not sure that we will see him find the net too many more times.

In fact I'd be interested to see what the odds are for him not scoring again. I'm willing to make a sportsman's bet that he won't find the net again in any competitive game until he goes back to New York.

He came on against Leeds, a Championship team, late in the game when they were tired. He still has great touch and great vision but I am not sure that will be enough in the Premier League.

BBC Sport's football expert. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good to see Pulis not complaining again.

Lineker will have to keep his e-mail account open again.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:lol:

[Master Splinter]

he won't find the net again in any competitive game

Was he also expecting Henry to be demoted to the reserves?

:bow:

[GP]

That's a pretty epic faceplant.

[Marc Overmars]

Evra was so lucky Rio got in the way, he was going to wipe Suarez out otherwise. :lol:

[GP]

Muppetts did the BBC score predictions this week.


Kermit and Miss Piggy were there too :bow:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Spurs game is on first on MOTD. I shall delay switching on the telly. Stoke game is last. Enough time for Pulis to put together a dossier and send it in...then again, we're Stoke and we don't complain.

[Marc Overmars]

MOTD order;

Spurs v Newcastle
Man Utd v Liverpool
Everton v Chelsea
Sunderland v Arsenal
Swansea v Norwich
Blackburn v QPR
Bolton v Wigan
Fulham v Stoke

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Top four. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Mancs v Liverpool arent first?

:lol:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Mancs v Liverpool arent first?

:lol:

It's 'Arry week. Need to allow sufficient love-in time.

[Cripps_orig]

I had forgotten about the Twitch factor.

Cant be many times if ever Mancs v Liverpool arent on first on MOTD

Liverpool :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're Game of the Day again on SS2. :blink:

Something as trivial as the handshake doesn't really deserve much analysis (but but it's ENGLAND you HAVE to), but seems to me that Evra might have only offered his hand after Suarez had got past him.

Actually, you have a point there. He pulls his arm back. The play acting towards the camera and the smirk with the ref seems to suggest he knew exactly what he was doing. I trust Ferdinand's refusal to shake hands, Evra's attempted tackle on Suarez, Evra confronting Suarez in the tunnel and his post-match celebrations will be reported on in equal measure. And as Villas-Boas mentioned last week, the interviewers are so laughably hypocritical and biased that's it's almost unbelievable.

Either way, the whole handshake thing should be abolished. Especially as it now seems to be compulsory. At the very least it should have been done away with for today's game.

I'm now convinced Suarez is off in the summer, as well. Madrid would be my bet.

I think they were both quite reluctant to go through with anything. Evra's grabbing afterwards is no indication that he wanted a handshake - with Suarez past him, it was the chance to gain some moral high ground and warp peoples' minds. Pretty sly, but that's what dickheads do. But yeah, it's all theatre for Sky. Has been ever since the Terry/Bridge thing. If you don't like someone, why should you have to shake their hand? The fuss when Wenger doesn't bother with some prat like Mark Hughes is laughable. More pointless moralising from everyone. Evra or Suarez had every right to ignore one another without any of this.

Yep, they're both as childish as each other.

I forgot to mention the media's lapping up of Ferguson. Most of his comments are way out of line anyway but to suggest who should and should not play for Liverpool based on a handshake, when he has not only stood up for but championed players who have deliberately ended a player's career, karate-kicked a spectator, missed drug tests, had extra marital affairs and more besides beggars belief.

And how about the time when Carroll, Keane, Scholes and Rooney all refused to shake Vieira's hand? I assume he sacked them all...

But he knows he will get away with it with today's media and that he and his team will always come up smelling of roses.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Fergie WUMming. I would say the most unfortunate thing will be Evra being seen as some sort of dignified hero now. Fuck off.

[Marc Overmars]

MOTD on in 5 mins.

Although I'll probably tune in after Spurs and Harry plaudits are done with.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll watch the whole of it. :sick:

Evra wasn't enthusiastic about shaking hands, but you can't blame him given he's having to shake hands with someone who racially abused him. Anyway, if anyone could be excused not shaking hands it would be Evra. He was after-all the victim in this whole case, not Suarez. I've seen the clip again, and Evra does look like he's extended his hand and Suarez deliberately ignores it. With Rio you can see him actively looking to shake his hand, but Ferdinand ignores it, but with Evra he simply moves onto the next guy in line (De Gea)

I'm not a fan of Evra, but he's done nothing wrong throughout this episode IMO.

[Cripps_orig]

From that angle, it looked like Evra didnt raise his hand til Suarez was nearly past him and then he grabbed hold of him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer is there with Hansen. Lawro. :lol: Been dropped.

[Cripps_orig]

Hansen and Shearer are there :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Keep Harry Hotspur'. :sick:

[Joker]

Really? It looked like his hand was quite low, but that's because Suarez had just before shaken hands with a mascot who was about 4 feet tall. From that angle it looked like he did want to shake Suarez's hand.

[Marc Overmars]

Dowd has a WTF face. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes. :lol: Everyone moves to the left hand side.

[Cripps_orig]

Newcastles defence made me laugh. Couple of foreign exotic names in Santon and Coloccini and then 2 proper GHEL like names in Williamson and Simpson
