Was the oligarch you mention called Khordokovsky or something like that? Show sounds interesting so thanks.

Rugby culture. Far too many of the cunts at my uni.

Definite pelanty there...

Shocking finishing from Best.

Ben Arfa made our best chance tbf. Entire team has been a bit lacklustre in the final third. I don't like this 4-3-3ish system with Best on the left, would be more comfortable with Vuckic for Shola and Gutierrez on the left and Best up top.

What a pass from Cabaye.

That principle assumes people are entirely rational, which they aren't. I agree that they aren't getting the best of him due to poor management and that they could have better spent the Henderson money on getting someone who would get the best from Carroll. My point is more that for that sort of money they paid, I would be unhappy with a player who is so limited and who limits the team so much.

I can't agree with that. They're not shit - Carroll in particular proved when he was with us that he could be deadly given the right service. It's that point where Dalglish has failed - he's totally overlooked the strengths of the players. I've heard the same argument from various different Liverpool fans that Carroll's failing is that he's "not playing the Liverpool way". I'm sorry like but what absolute, arrogant dog-shit! If you pledge to spend £35 million on one single player, you should be prepared to build the team around his strengths - not berate him because he's "not fitting into the Liverpool way of things". He's the most expensive British player there's ever been - yet they're insistent on still building the side around the so called merits of a 32 year old captain who's injury prone and hardly the future. I said to the missus's Dad a year ago that they needed to make a quality winger their priority in the summer if they want to get anything out of Carroll. Instead they forked out on central midfielders Adam & Henderson and also Downing who wants to play in the middle. Ashley Young would have made them deadly this year but they showed little interest. I agree with that to an extent but it's dificult to argue that, even playing to his strengths, he's worth 35million. For that sort of money you want a forward who can win games on his own at the highest level and has more to their game than being very good in the air. Carroll is a very limited footballer and also one who limits the way in which your team can be successful.

who said barely? people whinge about us being thin, and are right to whinge about us not bolstering it with someone better than that frankly, being thin and padding it out with shite when we should be able to sign someone decent is irritating. You seem awfully defensive about the my 'barely seen them play' comment despite the fact that I didn't mention you at all. I'm pretty sure we have been saying recently that we essentially want some sort of stop gap until the summer when we will look to get someone better in, seems fairly reasonable to me. It's not like anyone is claiming he's the answer to pushing us into the top four. I would prefer we had some sort of cover than be forced to play a shit right back there.

My mate who's a Watford fan quite likes him. He's apparently fairly quick and fairly reliable at that level. Could easily be a decent back up/ 4th choice. I don't really get it when people whinge about the squad being thin and then whinge when we are intersted in bolstering the squad. Especially when they've barely seen him play.

Yeah they look pretty bad. My only thought was that they perhaps were options for this season that didn't get used.

We seem to have a problem with quick forwards running in behind. West Brom was another example where our centre backs weren't quick enough to play such a high line. Pardew would do well to notice the trend.

22 please.

No worse than the English media with cheats like Gerard or Young.

Why not like? Seems fairly logical to me

That documentary is class. "We don't serve negroes." "I don't eat them either. I want two hamburgers."

I chose that particular pic of 'Arry especially for this forum. I think it really encapsulates the 'cheeky chappie' side of him that Spurs, and I'm sure Newcastle fans have all grown to love. It encapsulates the fact that he looks like a sunburnt scrotum.

Disagree with the bit in bold. I think Faurlin is better than him, certainly through the middle where they've been playing him. Then again they're both injured so we should control the centre of the park.

That was Abeid tbf. Ben arfa gave his to someone next to the dugouts.

Ive bought the house in Windhelm, Hjerim I think its called, and all the display features ( main things that make the house so cool ) don't work. I cant click to 'activate' the display cases and when I put armour on the mannequins they turn invisible and then reappear as a different kind of armour later. Has anyone else had this/ know how to fix it?

Canny two minutes from Gosling...

Reckon we wouldn't have scored that against Tim Krul. Their keeper was very slow off his line. Doesn't take away from the pass though, beautiful.

Get the fuck in. Quality from our best two players on the pitch.
