Eboue's such a dirty little f*****. Even the Arsenal fans I know don't like him. Voronin's coming on soon isn't he...

Keeper's ball all the way that, regardless of the dodgy marking. Should have come and cleaned everything out. Not a good time of the season for Reina to be doing the Du.

Playing Devil's Advocate, do you think we're playing better football because we've got a man up front who keeps the ball and allows others to get up and join? (For the hard of understanding, I'm not claiming Crouch is better than Torres.) Voronin's definitely going to come on at some point, I just hope it's not for Crouch.

Back at you genius.

f*** off Benayoun

one footed ginger... Is Benayoun on the pitch? Plessis impressing so far, and Crouch looking pretty good.

Agree with that. The sheer unwillingness to put Crouch on the pitch is beyond a joke.

How is it when we have 9 men behind the ball they still have yards of space to pass to each other? If I had hair I'd be tearing it out...

It's a f***ing embarrassment. We get anywhere near the halfway line, they look up, and there's Torres on his own with noone else making any effort to move for a pass. Absolutely f***ing pathetic.

I'm not saying he's done much. But what exactly is he supposed to do if he hasn't got the ball and we're spending all our time defending?

We have to keep the f***ing ball. It's not rocket science. If they have more of the ball and we defend so f***ing deep then of course they're going to have chances and we're going to do f*** all. f***'s sake.

They're bypassing Masch, Alonso is nowhere to be seen. Bit disappointed in Torres so far. I know he's not getting much service, but there's been a couple of times he hasn't really tried to win a 50-50 and it's come straight back at us. Glad Babel's off as he obviously needs to change his nappy. We're not keeping the ball very well but I guess there's nothing new there. Gerrard getting a bit too ambitious at the mo.

WTF is Babel on? Seriously. He needs a good slapping at half time.

Fair play to Derek. That was a bit of a poacher's instinct there. Is that the first time we've got Babel on the ball though? And will Alonso stop it with the stupid f***ing free kicks?

First time 15-yard volley with the ball coming over his shoulder from 30 yards away?

And Babel showing his superb awareness as he watched Gerrard stretch to get the cross in. Watched from outside the opposite side of the box... Positives so far are Masch and Skrtel for me.

Alonso got to stop giving the ball and stupid fouls away.

We're so dumb we can't even keep it in the corner ...

This is piss poor management. We've been crying out for a substitution for 20 minutes.

A f***ing embarrassment. Spineless c**** the lot of them.

Behave. He's been mouthing off at him every single free kick since he got booked. It was absolutely inevitable and Rafa's making an equally big t** of himself waving his arms about.

Well that's brilliant. What a bunch of f***ing t***s. The lot of them. No f***ing exceptions. A laughing stock. An absolute laughing stock.

If we win this it'll be very satisfying to have beaten such a detestable bunch of cheating c**** and pissed off the bitter blue b*****d into the bargain...

I know my stream's behind, but this ref is a complete c***.
