[Johnners]

Yeah shouldn't shake imo. Best outcome for all would be a smack in the chops tho'

 

[sledger]

Thoughts on the Anton/Captain Racist handshake/no handshake scenario?

Have to be honest, if I thought someone had called me a black **** I'd wouldn't want to shake their hand.

Neither would I. Will say a lot about the integrity of Anton Ferdinand if he does shake though.

 

[Johnners]

Agger! De Gea in no-mans-land there.

 

[cpr]

Bit annoying their goal, many a ref would've called for a soft foul on De Gea thanks to Carrol obstructing him and not trying for the ball at all. Usually dont like those sort of calls, but wouldn't have complained that time.....

 

[cpr]

We've deserved that IMO

 

[Johnners]

Hard to disagree - Valencia's causing Enrique a lot of trouble down the right. Kelly has been superb though.

Not to sure what Carragher was supposed to be doing lumbering around in the middle either.

If someone called you a black **** I'd question their eyesight tbh

As established in The Commitments, the Irish are the blacks of Europe.

 

[Johnners]

Kuyt!!!!

Route one, isn't it? Small boys in the park, big hoof down the field, target man for goalposts. Marvellous.

About the only decent header he's won all day, was worth it though.

 

[Uppercut]

Fergie made two huge balls-ups that cost us the game- picking a scarecrow in nets instead of our perfectly good keeper, and taking off Scholes for Hernandez with 20 minutes to go.

 

[GIMH]

That's two weeks in a row Carroll has had a useful impact on a Liverpool goal. Shocking!

Terrible shame to see Man U go out of course

Can probably put the Scholes one down to tiredness, perceived at least.

 

[Pizzorno]

Yeah I have to agree, United lost it when Scholes was brought off. He was bossing the game and Liverpool couldn't get a sniff.

 

[Uppercut]

But Giggs and Carrick must have been tired too and going 4-4-2 exposed them really badly. De Gea the more obvious mistake though, obvz. You just can't get away with having a keeper that ****.

On a side note, it's funny that cup games seem to be so much more attacking than league games when a draw is bad for both teams in the league (because it's only 1/3 of a win) and pretty neutral in the cup.

They always used to b more negative, but I think people are very concious of the affects of extra games now.

Wusses, bring back multiple replays, I say, every three days or so.

 

[Nate]

yyyyyyyyyesssssssssssssssss

 

[sledger]

Subs changed the game. Liverpool made good ones and Utd got their ones wrong. Picking De Gea also a very questionable move.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Just caught the second half on +1, not surprised Carroll does bugger all if that's the sort of service he gets. The crossing is rubbish, they hit them from bad angles and when they get in a decent crossing position the ball ends up floating towards the edge of the area. Having said that the movement inside the box isn't great either but they should still be picking out Carroll in the box far more than they do.
