I can't see us getting second. Even if they only win two matches the goal difference is too much to make up. It's a shame that blip after new year has cost us a shot at the title and the chance of second place - Utd's run of recent wins hasn't helped either.

Gray was trying to say it is OK for Nelson to stand where he is. That's true. It's just the bit where he was hauling Nando to the ground was a penalty offence

He'll just get a slap on the wrist from the FA if he does as the deadline for bans from 10 yellows was last Sunday.

YNWA RIP 96

great delivery from set pieces too. I liked his funny hop, skip and a jump run up too

no surprises there then

I can see Momo getting some kind of retribution for that tackle on 'spit' at the reebok. Considering Momo's recent problems it wouldn't surprise me if Diouf goes after him with a stray elbow at some point.

hasn't he got the same agent as Stevie?

Frank Lampard - You are what you eat

This is more like it from the times: 'Alonso operated near the pinnacle of his powers, directing play with his vision, touch and execution. He was simply immense, the pass he played for Liverpool?s second goal, about 70 yards straight to the feet of Cisse, the most exquisite demonstration of his talent. Taking the ball off goalkeeper Jose Reina, he took one look and delivered the perfect ball.' times report

Carra wasn't impressed. He was shaking his head at Xabi when he saw it.

Give him his due. He's got a good touch...for a fat bloke with man boobs.

class performance from Xabi. He took absolute control of play and was simply outstanding. They were doing their best to knock him off his game with late challenges but he rose above it. His delivery from the set plays was excellent too.

As long as they remember their jester hats for Saturday...

It is a Len Capeling article! Don't listen to anything that t*** writes.

good news

Must be an old Danish custom.

Another good performance in his natural position. He looks a very good addition to the squad and will keep Steve on his toes.

the bloke at anfield for ssn has said he ahs spoke to Parry and the deal is apparently 'on the table' but hasn't been signed yet.

no takers and a massive pay off.

Surely the assistant ref would have seen the incident more clearly than the ref. He should have made the decision and told Bennet. Arsenal milked it and got what they wanted. Well done to them for showing what professionals they are. I'm f***ing pissed off here as we were heading for a classic, undeserved away point. Something we haen't had for ages.

7:30 KO at Anfield.

Time to revert to counter attacking. One chance, one goal, three points! Those stats are pretty shocking.

2-1 the final score though. Not good enough tonight! They play on the counter attack and will be prepared for an onslaught. It's just a matter of converting whatever chances come along. No problem then

'Come here, my pretty.'
