[Master Splinter]

Liverpool currently playing the mighty FC Gomel. Pretty decent team out there

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19010887

Still 0-0.

Liverpool :lol:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Probably the worst game I've ever seen so far.

Still, early days...

[Master Splinter]

What happened to Joe Cole?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What happened to Joe Cole?
He was tackled and either got a bit of a knock or twisted.

Didn't look too bad, probably just precaution.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think I just saw Downing score a goal.

I DID!! DOWNING SCORED A GOAL!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF? End the season now before it gets silly.

[Master Splinter]

Downing :bow:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

A win is a win is a win.

Borini scores for Liverpool!

Carroll :haha:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Borini is already edging towards being Boss.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Gerrard and Johnson made it a routine 3-0 win.

Allen was in the crowd as well. :scarf:

[Master Splinter]

Liverpool :bow:.

Safe to say the quad is on.

[Cripps_orig]

I see Suarez played

He was in a summer tournament that was taken place after Euro 2012 yet Rodgers still played him

Any chance of Wenger toughening up and playing Pod and Giroud in the first PL game?...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We got Hearts for the next round :popcorn:

Hearts. :rose:

Liverpool match on ITV4

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stuttgart 2-0 Dinamo Moscow, Ibisevic with both goals. FT.

[Cripps_orig]

Liverpool will have a shit squad for the match

Well shitter than their usual shit

SIB, would you rather they took this trophy seriously?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Liverpool will have a shit squad for the match

Well shitter than their usual shit

SIB, would you rather they took this trophy seriously?
I think we will take it mildly seriously when we get into the proper games. The squad we've taken should still beat Hearts.

I don't buy into the "play a weak team it'll help us in the league" anymore though, as last season proved. If you're shit, you're shit.

Barcodes are playing like they don't really want to be there, apparently. :rolleyes:

Sterling starts for Liverpool.

Nah no way Barcodes want European footie id be spurised if they did play like that, i think in the 2nd leg they'd have more energy with the home crowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atromitos 1-1 Barcodes, Ryan Taylor and HT.

And Charlie, I was going off what Micky Quinn said, sage that he is. Pardew is the kind of manager that will rest players for it - I can understand it here because they play Chelsea away on Saturday evening

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's spreading!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I hope it's not what Dempsey has :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully this Dempsey doesn't have it either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheriff 1-2 Marseille, Pajovic equalised, Gignac has put Marseille back in the lead. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1928:
Motherwell v Levante (19:45 BST)

BBC Scotland's Keir Murray reports: "We're hearing that Levante, playing their first European match, will present flowers to Motherwell before kick-off as a tribute to Phil O'Donnell, the late captain of the Steelmen who collapsed during a game in 2007.

"The Spaniards learned about O'Donnell's tragic death while researching their Europa League opponents."

Levante are alwsome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Feyenoord 0-2 Sparta Prague, Kadlec with both.

RVP. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drury is still with ITV? FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher. :haha:

Bloody hell. He should be given special dispensation not to bother with passing it from the back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam. :lol:

No interest in playing anybody in, MacDonald makes a comfortable save.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Carragher against City on Sunday is just giving me shivers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atromitos 1-1 Barcodes, FT.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Took out a photographer :haha:

Actually he looks hurt. Just a :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Photographer guy is fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Novikovas, Reina tips it behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam absolutely hoofs it clear. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

TIMBER!!!

[Young Guns 11]

Took out a photographer :haha:

Actually he looks hurt. Just a :lol:

That was fucking hilarious!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shelvey. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Adam with a burst of pace :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McGowan tries to score an own goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McGowan is trying to make up for it now, good tackle from Kelly.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I think we're taking this "start from the keeper" thing a bit too seriously.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vaslui 0-1 Inter, Cambiasso.

Borini. :haha:

What a miss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horsens 1-0 Sporting, Spelmann!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Very difficult chance tbf.

Though he should at least get a touch on it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well exactly, leave the rest to chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bursaspor 3-1 Twente, FT.

Schteve. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not sure that should've been given as offside.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Damned fine ball from Henderson though.

I still have hopes for him.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Vaslui 0-1 Inter, Cambiasso.

Borini. :haha:

What a miss.

:faint: Inter not in the CL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Inter had a mare of a season and Italy only have three teams that can be in the Champions League currently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam belts a cross from close-range, well cleared.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I actually cannot believe it.

I knew as soon as Sterling got it, that would happen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini hits the post! :haha:

Bloody hell. Great from Sterling though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-0 Helsinki, Aduriz. He's a very good player.

Motherwell 0-1 Levante, Juanlu.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What normally happens now is we go behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I suppose but I don't think Hearts are good enough to win this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 3-0 Helsinki, Susaeta and Perez with the last two goals.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What normally happens now is we go behind.

Yep so it set up for one of those Special Anfield European nights.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robinson off, Downing on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spearing off, Allen on.

Motherwell 0-2 Levante, El Zhar.

[Master Splinter]

El Zhar :bow:.

Another Liverpool legend.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

OG!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hearts 0-1 Liverpool, awesome OG by Webster. Somehow Drury thought Borini scored it. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 4-0 Helsinki, Aduriz with his second. :bow:

[Young Guns 11]

Jammy Bastards. Rewarded for Borini's shitness :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vaslui 0-2 Inter, Palacio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Something tells me Liverpool aren't entirely comfortable with playing from the back.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That's 3 wrong offside calls now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 4-0 Helsinki, Aduriz with his second. :bow:

5-0 now, Susaeta with his second. :blink:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fantastic save from Reina.

But that's usual for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hearts 0-1 Liverpool, FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0 now, Susaeta with his second. :blink:

6-0, Iraola. :lol:

Downing may actually be decent left wing back.

Well, better than he was been as a winger anyway.

Toquero :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sam Matterface is commentating for ITV? :blink:

Chumbinho? :haha:

Inter 0-1 Vaslui, Stanciu pelanty.

Caselazzi was sent off for Inter. :haha:

Wonderful clearance from Ba. Shame it was from a Newcastle corner really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sporting 1-0 Horsens, Van Wolfswinkel. :bow:

Inter 1-2 Vaslui, Varela. Perhaps not that assured after all.

Schteve's Twente level things up on aggregate against Bursaspor.

[GP]

Downing may actually be decent left wing back.

Well, better than he was been as a winger anyway.

Indeed, I've never seen him let a cross find the striker.

Reina fucks up again. :haha:

I'll say it.

That's unusual for him.

I meant Reina, but it makes as much sense for Suarez :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Starfish!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes and Liverpool both make it through to tomorrow's draw.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Never in doubt. :scarf:

[Master Splinter]

Reina is beyond a parody of himself now.

It's basically one every other match.

Hope he stays Liverpool's number one forever.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The stewards made a fine dive to stop a pitch invader after the goal though.

That's a plus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schteve's Twente made it through AET. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

This is almost as comical as the Blackburn v Liverpool game last season.

Shelvey :bow:.

Should be the first name on the team sheet these days. I always rated him. Genuinely.

[Master Splinter]

Joey Barton's night has come to an early end - after being substituted on his Marseille debut. The on-loan QPR midfielder was withdrawn in the 71st minute with the French side losing 2-0 at Fenerbahce.

Barton :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Young Boys 3-5 Liverpool, FT. :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

"I don't think Liverpool can afford to turn up without their best players. We can embarrass them," said Rueda.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19651736

Rueda :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

AVB taking the competition seriously.

He'll be slammed across the media for having the temerity. What an arrogant, well-spoken knob.

Lazio have started well in Serie A. Should be a good game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defending wasn't the watchword for that game.

Rueda. :lol:

Though they might beat Udinese with how they're going this season.

[Master Splinter]

Marseille got a 2-2 draw after Barton went off.

Barton :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maritimo 0-0 Barcodes, FT.

[GP]

Carragher is awful.

At this level, it's useful if you can actually run

[Syn]

I'd 3-5 be a young boys fan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Lazio. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Udinese 1-1 Anzhi, Di Natale and FT!

Me. :haha:

Why do I keep doing it?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyldesley and Townsend are back.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Never in doubt.

Hilariously bad defending throughout.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The horrible ground level camera angle at WHL tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sandro is such a clogger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Klose! Completely missed it.

[Master Splinter]

Hernanes and Klose both have 4 goals in 4 appearances so far this season. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why does Bale pose like Ronaldo? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Why does Bale pose like Ronaldo? :lol:

They both destroyed Maicon.

They're on the same level tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is on ITV4 for those unaware.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They both destroyed Maicon.

They're on the same level tbf.

Good answer. That freekick was on the same level, that's for sure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale header tipped over.

Why did Lennon play it across goal to start with though? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Dempsey. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We got one over on them.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We got one over on them.

:lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We complain a lot, but here are Tottenham in the same shit ground in a shit tournament and have for 16 years and counting have a shitty crink in their necks from looking up the league table as us.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pretty poor game so far.

At least ours had some :lol:s

[Dennis Bendtner]

We complain a lot, but here are Tottenham in the same shit ground in a shit tournament and have for 16 years and counting have a shitty crink in their necks from looking up the league table as us.

This camera angle is making the shit ground look a bit like Highbury :(

Bale gets to the line, pulls it back way too stongly, goes out for a throw-in quite far away from goal. :lol:

[GP]

Gareth Fail :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. :lol:

Lazio have beaten Maribor 1-0 so the Spuds are languishing in third.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Spurs :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The Brendan Rodgers Trademark. Really?

Yes, it's called 'passing'. Revolutionary in English football.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fair point, passes over 60 yards are the only ones valid in Britain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coates header just about saved!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shelvey. :lol:
