The "Official Football thread" Part Two...

Anfield was rocking inside yesterday.The effort and commitment of every Liverpool player was superb.If we get that every week then we should have a good season.The Ref had a shocker.
Thought Arsenal were ok.Excellent possesion football as usual but were obviously helped in the 2nd half by the extra player.When they have Fabregas and Van Persie back in the 11 they'll have more cutting edge.
Already love Milan Jovanovic.He gives his all and really gets involved with the crowd.Quality.

I thought the Ref got it spot on sending Joe cole off it was a nasty challenge and silly.

You may recall when we were fighting for survival in the premier league Joey Barton did the exact same thing on Steve G and got sent off

Same here.

I'm guessing pool fans aren't used to getting treated the same way as everyone else outside the top 4 Wink

It was an ok game. Normal fare when these two meet. They will both be competing for the top 6 at the end of the season. Just concerned about where ArsenaL are going to get their goals from.

Nasty challenge my arse.The lad was making his league debut in front of a sell out crowd at Anfield on the first day of the season! He was trying his best to block the clearance up the line.
Joey Barton is a dirty bastard, that was Joe Cole's 1st sending off.Should have used some common sense and gave him a yellow.

Give over it was the exact same challenge Barton made on Stevie G and if he got sent of then Joe deserved to get sent of it was a daft challenge yellow card my arse

1. It wasn't malicious or anything, its just Joe Cole has never been able to tackle - Fact Tongue

I always recall this whenever I see him tackle Big Grin

:

As for Joey Barton him and a few other toon players are growing moustaches until they win...nothing against Newcastle but I hope they go a few months without winning Wink

Im pretty sure it was Alonso he crunched down at the corner flag at the Kop end not Steven.He went in to hurt him.Joe was looking to block the ball and slid too far.The standard of refereeing in our league is shocking.The ref knew he had made a mistake,he gave us everything in the second half to try and make up for it and then levelled things up by sending Koscielny off.
