[Hobo]

Liverpool team to face PNE: Cavalieri, Insua, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Babel, Riera, Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard, Keane. Subs: Reina, Torres, Aurelio, Lucas, Ngog, El Zhar, Skrtel.

GO COG!

[The Future]

But United get to beat Southampton right?

[IAceI]

Nice to see he's giving one of the back up strikers in Keane a run out ahead of the more established El Zhar and N'gog. Don't want people thinking he's not got a part to play in the team.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Is it wrong to have wanted my team to lose so that we'd be given an easy run of fixtures in the near future?

Then again we sacked a manager on this fixture last year for a draw >_>

Great Reira goal!

[Farmer Reil]

I'm certainly beginning to rethink my "Rieira is shite" evaluation. Rafa seemed most annoyed that his team scored though.

I suck balls. Thought this was on Setenta, not ITV. Oh well.

Hartlepool on the main page of bbc.co.uk.

This is a wonderful day.

Carragher dived

[Farmer Reil]

If I was Sean St. Ledger, I'd fucking chin Parker when I found out why my goal was disallowed... the fuck did he think he was doing?

[Liam]

Carragher probably would have been up to make the header difficult though, so no dice, really.

[King Ellis]

Easiest goal, ever.

[Farmer Reil]

Torres was offside, the ball went forward... Preston got screwed~!

[King Ellis]

Not wanting to sound like Footjob Fever but, I can remember when Leeds scored one like that and it got ruled out for offside.

[Farmer Reil]

Well common sense says that Torres had been clear of the last defender for about 20 minutes, and therefore the offside rule should cease to apply because it's Preston's fault if nobody was there to be in front of. Besides which it was the final action of a match Liverpool were already winning, so it doesn't matter a shit.

But the rules say it was offside, damnit!

*ahem*

TOOORREEEEEEESSS!

I just wanted to do that because I'm happy he scored!

[TheArsenal]

Gillingham players just demolished a small wall in their stadium while celebrating their equaliser against Aston Villa.

[Summers]

No booking for their player running to the crowd, either.

Stupid rule, but it happens to Villa when we so much as celebrate in front of our fans. Get's annoying. Keep the rule, or don't.

[TheArsenal]

I think half of those "inciting the opposition fans" rules are absolute rubbish. How does running to your own fans, or taking off your shirt, incite opposition fans?

[Summers]

Time for the draw.

We missed United in the 3rd - which is damn unusual, so I expect them.
