Soccer 2013-2014

Nerve-racking to say the least...

jesus

fuck me that was tense. Just like the next 360 minutes are going to be.

Excellant game of football that! At 2-0 i thought we would be on the end of an Arsenalesque raping but we turned it on in the second half and it became a real contest. Kompany had a shocker but i can't help feel it was due to him playing through a pain injury.

Liverpools to lose now. This has been a great season.

I'm going to need a pacemaker if this keeps up.

Pretty fucking stupid tackle by Hendo in overtime, he'll probably be out for 3/4 of the remaining games now. Hopefully Allen or Lucas can fill his shoes.

Random question since I'm not a fan of the Premier League. Is the thread going to split next month or are you guys doing a new thread for the World Cup?

That's true. It's incredible to watch whenever the camera pans to him on the bench after a Liverpool goal - not even a smile. It seems he would rather be on the Bridge. He may have been the right player type to sub in, but I don't think his head is in it.

Fucking Moses put him in that position with his horrible initial control of the ball. Why is he even in a position to play when he's still owned by Chelsea? I would have never subbed him on there.

I think bringing on Moses was just a way of Brendan Rodgers taunting Mourinho/Chelsea. Compared to Liverpool's offensive capabilities, Chelsea's looks like that of team in the bottom half of the table. I think Moses (nevermind that he's rubbish compared to Lukaku) would be eligible to get a medal if Liverpool went on to win the league.

Moses was pretty solid for Chelski last year, had 10 goals at age 21. Rodgers wanted and still wants a good left winger. After finding nothing in the window Moses on loan with CFC paying half his wages was a very smart move. Dunno why people bitch about it ( the decision to take him on loan at least). Has been used as nothing but a defensive sub for several months now despite seemingly not doing to well at it.

Shame Swansea could not grab a draw today. I really want to City and Chelsea to lose another game to lessen the drama.

Edit: there was an article a few months ago about Chelsea being mad Brendan was not playing Moses. Was pretty funny they apparently feel we should value playing Moses above winning.

Liverpool fans are insufferable cunts when they finish mid-table, can't handle a season where they might be champions. :/

Cheers Sunderland! Great effort, and you guys probably deserved to win. Feel free to go one better on the weekend!

The 30 for 30 on Hillsborough was pretty amazing. Hopefully a lot of you got to see it.

Really powerful and haunting.
The scenes from the 20th anniversary were particularly moving and it's nice to see a politician being actually moved by such a demonstration.

Mike Dean gifted that one to them, but I guess that's karmic justice for Ramires staying on.

I'm not going to complain. This must not fooking slip now!
