Chelsea winning? West Ham winning? Liverpool losing?

Come ooooon final whistles.

Edit: Fuck, Sunderland are level.

Man, at least Liverpool's implosion has cheered me up.

Nice work taking off your two best players. Two players sent off and they can't complain about either.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

That was a lush third goal. I love Clint Dempsey.

I'm feeling smug that I called this on the prediction competition I do.

[Hobo]

I can't rationalise the Benayoun substitution but I'd say Torres is playing through injury still. Not that it makes much of a difference since this has been a terrible performance even with Torres and Benayoun in the squad.

3-1

Jesus, awful, awful performance.

EDIT: I can't rationalise bar saving for Wednesday.

Our two best players who weren't fit before the game (Torres has an icepack on his thigh), and were getting lumps kicked out of them for an hour.

We're also missing:

Gerrard

Agger

Skrtel

Johnson

Aquilani

Aurelio

Riera

Kelly (would've been in ahead of Degen)

N'Gog (ahead of Babel & Voronin)

Cavalieri

There have been, what, seven red cards already this afternoon?

Fucking hell.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ten apparantly.

rockbox....Still at least you're in a better fitness position than Everton and Blackburn. ^_^

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Carragher finally sees the red that he should of done a week ago. I love Fulham

Bar Chelsea winning, a pretty great day all around so far. Spurs losing, Liverpool crashing and Pompey pick up three points. Hopefully we can pull off a nice victory against Blackburn to round this day off.

[stokeriño]

lol, Drogba with his second injury time goal against Bolton in four days (making the score 4-0 both times).

It's like his has a quota that must be filled, even if he has to wait till the very end to do it.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Nearly everyone outside of the top three and pushing for Europe are dropping points. That's great for Spurs who SOMEHOW remain fourth though I'd imagine Man City will leapfrog them.

[Hobo]

The misery is over. A bare bones Liverpool team that really played worse as the game went on. Missing a load of players the red cards didn't help the first time I can remember seeing two Liverpool players sent off.

Nothing really Rafa could do about the squad he had today it also can't be helped when some of the players just don't bring their game with them.

[Szumi]

Wow, I'm really depressed with that. You go up 2-0, and then 2-1 with a man advantage... and you proceed to play like utter shit, and give up the 3 points? It feels like we lost today, even though, clearly, every point is needed to survive this season.

[Scott McFly]

Wow, bizarro world in the Premier League today. So many red cards, Hull had a decent goal disallowed apparently, Liverpool humped by Fulham and Portsmouth score 4 goals against Wigan?! In other news, my betting sucks ass.

[ONO]

Glad with a point away to Everton. If I wanted any team to break into the top four other than Villa it would be Everton.

Shite game though.

[TheArsenal]

EDIT: Just re-read original post. My point is no wirrelevant.

Anyway.... Glad to see Liverpool lose today, if only to shut up that twat Garth Cooks who STILL says Arsenal will struggle to finish fourth. And he's only saying it because he's a yid anyway.

I'm still pretty sure we'll finish in the Champions League places once we go on our traditional post-Christmas rape-a-thon and everybody else falls off as usual, but this is crazy. It can't be helped and lol at everybody who thinks Benitez will/should go, but it's hard to take

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'm a Yid (albeit one who never played the game pro... ) and think Arsenal will probably finish second this season behind Chelsea but ahead of Man Utd.

Fourth will then be between Man City, Spurs and Villa.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Liverpool =/= Spurs

Normally I'd say that was pathetic given how good Liverpool were last season... but I figure I'd get a warning from Hammy

[IAceI]

How did Ilunga have a head injury when Jones pushed him in the chest? Must have been when he theatrically threw himself on the floor and smacked his head off it.

Shouldn't have pushed him in the fist place but wow, it was pretty pathetic. Still 2-2 draw. Will do.

You'll get a warning for bottling it instead.

All's fair in football conversation and slagging off.
