Walrus

Well, for a start he made the biggest number of mistakes out of all the players on the pitch. All of them were misplaced passes and crosses to be fair. Other than that you couldn't see him, which was understandable, since Stoke were hardly attacking all afternoon. By the way, this is the first game of the season where I've been really frustrated by him, so it's not about singling him out or anything.

Best strikeforce in the league too

WBA - Villa 1-2 at the moment.

Dossena looked the worst player on the field from the comfort of my armchair. Really surprised that people at the match are rating him in the top 3

GOAL Bolton 1-0 Arsenal Kevin Davies leaps above Kolo Toure and heads his team in front from 10 yards. A cracking header from Joey O'Brien's corner. A somewhat displeased Arsene Wenger has his arms crossed as he looks on from the sidelines.

^ Wrong thread, but what the hell...

RAFA: MASSIVE MISTAKE COST US Jimmy Rice 20 September 2008 Rafa Benitez was left cursing a 'massive' refereeing error which denied Liverpool a crucial opener in Saturday's stalemate with newly-promoted Stoke. Steven Gerrard appeared to have opened the scoring after just three minutes only for the linesman to flag for no valid reason. "Nobody knows why it was disallowed," Benitez told reporters after the final whistle at Anfield. "The referee told Carra that he – and not the linesman - disallowed the goal but I don't think he knows why. With the position the referee was in, how could he disallow it? It was unbelievable and we have to talk about it because it was a key decision. "It is impossible to explain. "The other thing we have to talk about when you forget about the massive mistake is the game. We had plenty of possession, tried from both sides and between the lines, had corners and free-kicks and long shots - but we couldn't score. This is football sometimes, but the players worked really hard. "Sometimes you need a bit more luck or sometimes a bit more ability in the final third. "I don't know how many attempts we had. It's difficult to find a solution when you have 25 to 30 chances – you just have to do the same again and maybe it will be different."

Dossena was absolute garbage tonight. s*** beyond belief.

1.Carragher 2.Kuyt 3.Gerrard

You need to do it vertically, not horizontally for full effect.

No changes.

Sami has been suffering from a cold, so that's a possible explanation for his omission from the squad today.

At least Bayern can score at home unlike us

Bayern got a goal back

Bayern losing 5-0 to Bremen at home, by the way

Bring Babel on for Kuyt please.

f***ing hell, 0-0 HT.

Havant & Waterlooville were better than these.

It would be 6-0 by now, had the ref allowed our goal
