it wasn't *just* socks now was it? Either way throwing physical objects is fine yet simple cheering isn't?

Where did I say cheering was wrong? People can sing or do whatever they want at matches as far as I am concerned, I just said that I have never heard Everton as loud as that when Gerrard was taken off, it was like they'd won the league.

You're always going to get one or two ***** at the game to be honest, I think someone threw a bottle but other than that it was just socks everywhere.

It will be a rough road with Gerrard out of play because hes more than a captain on the field, HES EVERYWHERE lol but we have strong players on Liverpool I think we can still play well but certain players have to step up. Riera and Babel have to come in and play epic!! Kuyt,Benayoun and Alonso can do it but everyone has to play well. COME ON LIVERPOOL WE CAN DO THIS

Mate, you have Harry Redknapp in charge of your team.

What's that got to do with anything?

Was referring to Benitez' gamble at leaving Torres and Kuyt on the bench, and still winning....

Old Cod Face is doing a decent job anyway imo. We only had two points from eight games when he joined, remember.

You're hyper sensitive about football banter sometimes mate.

And we only had two points from eight games.

I thought you were having a pop at Rafa, sorry :p

It just ****es me off the way the media were rubbing their hands with glee today at the prospect of an upset. What team could we have put out? Torres could hardly run at the end of the derby on Wednesday, and Alonso had a knock on his ankle. The coverage today on Setanta was cringe worthy and really annoyed me and some fellow Reds.

Plus, I don't like Harry Redknapp that much. Did you see that little flowchart that was going around the net about him? It was so true.

Anyway, you pleased to have Keane back?

3 West Ham players in the England Squad :p

I have to be honest tho Carlton Cole is crap I really don't know how he got there but lets hope he does the business tomorrow.

3 more than us :p

I think Villa have 6 in the squad, which is a crazy amount for one team. O'Neill seems to be building an exciting team at Villa, who are getting the results and a fair few of his players are English.

The liverpool match anoyed me.

The backpass is a stupid f'ing rule. I thought someone was offside in the build up to the third goal.

God, we get 2 goals and we still can't win.

Distin you are costing us points! Why didn't anyone come and help Crouch out?

It was a good game of football, and was full of mistakes.

Nugent was offside for your first, Babel was onside for his bad miss (the referee had his flag up), Aurelio never fouled which led to your second goal, Reina should have easily saved your two goals as well.

And then obviously came the mistakes from Pompey!

On another note, any team that has gone 1-0 up against us in the league this season, has not beat us, which is a nice statistic.

Why the hell didn't we play Arshavin today? It's just as I said before.. Wenger is playing Song, Denilson, Bendtner ahead of him.. :angry: We should've beaten Spurs today.. we were the better team by a mile and then some.. Wenger's decisions are far from my understanding.. whatever he sees in Song, Denilson, Bendtner.. I can't see to be honest and how he fails to see Vela and Arshavin's quality baffles me.. I'm absolutely gutted.. :angry:

Eboue.. one word.. IDIOT.. after the first yellow he should've been more careful.. Why not play Wilshere for a game or two on the wing and form a firing squad especially for Eboue? But again.. Wenger should seriously consider retirement.. how can you have players of the quality of Arshavin, Eduardo and Ramsey on the bench and you still play Eboue, Denilson, Song (although he had a decent game) and Bendter ahead of them????!?? And that too in a derby match?!!!

Yeah eboue is a complete idiot. God damn him, we had to run around the pitch for the rest of the game. Arshavin hasn't played for a couple of months so not a good idea to put him on plus it's better to welcome him at home :)

I'm not saying Arshavin should've started the game.. I'm saying Wenger should've given him a go.. as well as Eduardo, Ramsey and Vela.. and what's with the disallowed goal?!??

I know the FA wants everyone to respect the referees and all but in almost every game we see wrong and objectionable decisions.. why can't we have replays in football, even if its only for the referees??

We did the job, we won. What can I say more, it was a very poor game. Giggs scored for the first time this season. Very nice goal by the way.

I enjoyed more watching Spurs against Arsenal, and it was ****ty too. :D

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
