It doesn't even though. You get a bit of subtle shirt-holding and impeding but you don't often get players rugby-tackling someone who's about to score.

It really was a rugby tackle as well, such a ridiculous thing to do, particularly since only 10 mins had been played.

They might fade as the season goes on but Southampton are a decent enough side. Reading look doomed, Villa are painfully dire and if QPR do get it together I fear Wigan's time finally may have come.

I think QPR might have left it too late, I reckon they'll go. They've looked absolutely awful at times this season. I think it's 3 from the bottom 6 (Fulham and Sunderland should be ok) and unfortunately I reckon Wigan might slip into it. Reading will go so it'll probably be one of QPR or Villa.

It'd be a mammoth effort for QPR to stay up, but they're only 2 points behind Reading, and less than 6 behind Villa and Wigan. Not bad considering their dreadful start.

Not sure whether to credit Rodgers for his half-time changes or criticise him for getting it wrong at the start.

I reckon Rodgers will do well and is a good tactician overall...but that was an abysmally wrong decision to have no one on Carrick. You guys were raping us in midfield until the changes. He changed a formation that had been working for us in the previous games with Henderson just behind Suarez, pressing and being a nuisance. If he had played that same formation we would have had a much better game.

Wow. A German with a Scouse accent versus a **** with a French accent.

Fair to say every right-thinking human being siding with the former.

Highlights for those of us with lives without Twatter?

As someone else later commented, takes something special to get a heap of Englishmen siding with a German.

Is The Telegraph respected? I really enjoy it.

Has to be said that the quality of sports-writing for a lot of papers in England, often differs greatly from the rest of the newspaper as a whole. The Torygraph has good writing for sports is horrible elsewhere, and don't even get me started on the online-blogs click-bait. Delingpole and Young are just hideous.

My dad, a Labour man used to always buy the Mail weekdays and the Telegraph on weekends, even during the 80s when they were basically Maggie ****-sheets. He just never read anything but sport and tv.

The tabs are universally **** at everything though.

Barton's a moron...but honestly, Didi should never have engaged him like that. Reminds of the Bernard Shaw saying; never wrestle a pig, you get dirty and the pig likes it.

Apparently he wants to bring his tactics too and employ a false 9 so see what happens with Gomez.

So static at times but how haven't we scored tonight.
