    Because their goals were scored off errors that weren't forced? They actually only created one half chance for themselves with Sakho or Bolassie hit into the side netting. Can passing it right back to Sakho at the top of the box instead of clearing it and Mignolet palming it right back to Dann...

    Fucking Palace, they seem to be LFC's bogey team at this point. They didn't deserve shit from that game, we gifted them the 3 points in an almost Rodgers like performance of defensive miscues.

    No he didn't, and that makes no sense as what would he have to gain by doing so? It sounds like it was someone that Benzema knows that was doing it, either way I could give a fuck. Hate R. Madrid. As far as this weekend, interested to see how LFC recovers as Palace has been our bogey team...

    Benzema was taken in for questioning for trying to tell Valbuena who is blackmailing him. Think one of the Cisse's had to go talk to the cops a week or two about this as well. He's not under any real threat of anything, just the cops want to know what he knows about midget porn as Valbuena is...

    Barnwell made a good point yesterday in that in watching Carolina vs. Indy, Grigson just looks terrible as Carolina has no cap space and yet molded a team while Grigson had a bunch and just did nothing positive with it. I'd say Grigson just for the Richardson trade alone should be fired at this...

    I'd say it's clear this is Cutler's last year with the Bears and they are going to start over. Why pay Allen so much to play for the Panthers and cut Bostic while playing McClellan still who is terrible. Jeffrey is amazing when healthy, unfortunately that's not a guarentee that often and he's...

    I'm amazed the Bears didn't trade Cutler, actually amazed they didn't trade him plus Forte and Jeffrey. This past weekends loss to the Vikes was just terrible. Anyway, that's my monthly non-interested Bears fan comment.

    I didn't ignore it, I just don't even remember you offering. You're also missing the point in that your line of speaking was in line with the RAWKites issues with OOT's not that you were saying it yourself. Anyway, keep on trucking bro.

    He'll be playing but I have my doubts he's really ready, just we have no other options as Origi clearly isn't ready yet. Hopefully it doesn't backfire on us and he re-injures himself. Aside from that, kind of hard with the Halloween parties to plan to get up in time here on the West Coast...

    Benteke is a doubt for the Chelsea game and Sturridge is for sure out, guessing draw on Saturday with Chelsea also missing Costa.

    In a way you'd think Mourinho is just acting up so he can get his money and go home, but then again you'd figure Chelsea might have a case for "just cause" if he keeps getting himself banned so he can't perform his duties. Was it confirmed if he did indeed attempt to charge into the ref's room...

    You guys are talking crazy. LvG bombed out of Bayern and Heynkes changed the team from the way LvG had it set up. Pep has been compared to Heynckes last team that won the CL which was a reaction to Dortmund in that they were hyper physical and counter attacking whereas Pep is more about...

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    I'll agree to disagree, Bayern were very incisive in that first half. They fell somewhat flat in the 2nd but yet still controlled the game. In the end all that matters though is the score so well done to the Arse.

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    I just watched the Arse/Bayern game after being in meetings all day, definition of a smash and grab if there ever was one. Munich should have been up 2 or 3 to nil in the first half, that's football for you though.

    Soccer/Footy 2015-2016

    When I said the above I didn't expect Sturridge to be our as well, we were pretty toothless up front because of that so I'll take the draw.

    Our season was never going to hinge on Gomez or Ings anyway, granted Ings has been in good form and looks a good fit but with the rest of the injured people only short term injuries I don't see it as that huge of a deal. Klopp is pretty funny to listen to, we've owned Spuds lately so we'll see.

    Bill Simmons leaving ESPN.

    Lowe, Keri, Barnwell work for the biggest name in sports reporting (reporting, hah) and even though Simmons has made it pretty clear how much ESPN wasn't really behind Grantland that doesn't mean they don't get pretty good traffic, cred and pay for what they do. HBO isn't exactly a flagship...

    I don't think there's much deeper to delve into, the War on Drugs is just about the body count at this point same as it was in Vietnam. They're really not accomplishing anything more than killing people that will be replaced by other people that need to be killed again. That's why I think the...

    Sicario (2015)

    I'd actually say it's a war movie and the Grantland review comparing this to Apocalypse Now is rather apt in I'd say. Granted the Vietnam War fit it almost perfectly but in reality you could place it in almost any war this world has ever had. Kurtz only looked insane to the people removed from...

    Texas has as many National titles as Minnesota. USC has more than double the National Titles, 7 heisman winners to 2, more conference titles. In almost any category only Notre Dame has more winners than USC. But yeah, they're on the same level....

    Granted I don't think Texas is on USC's level from a historical perspective but the short answer is no. Both of those programs have natural advantages almost over any other program where it just takes the right coach. For USC, clinging to the Carroll era has been a really poor decision. Just...

    Also I think the thought that he doesn't have the players to make his system work is way overblown, Klopp himself is already saying he does have the players.
