What's the difference between a dictatorship like North Korea where the leader cannot be questioned by any means and a so called democracy where the leader cannot be questioned by any means?

As another aside did anyone else notice Gray/Tyler's comments about Carribeans being lazy bastards? Surprised it seems to have gone un-commented elsewhere.

I have to confess that when they cut to him in the crowd on Sky, my first thought was "die, cunt".

Krul was a mixture for me - some good takes but as has been said flapping badly for the goals.

Has a lorry load of laptops met the usual fate in Liverpool in the last couple of weeks or something? Cannot get moved for the cunts.

I remember in 94 when Shearer was coming back from injury and only made the bench for Blackburn against us then came on when we were one up - there was a visible affect on the team as if they collectively shit themselves and sure enough he equalised. I cant help thinking that sadly the same thing happened yesterday when Rory fucking Delap came on.

As .com inferred - putting your hand on someones head now has enough force to cause someone a dislocated shoulder. I hope the cheating cunt never plays again.

Not exactly known though is he? (which imo contributed to his victory as I said) He has plenty time to make an impression good or bad - I think writing him off is a bit daft.

I honestly thought he was a lot better last week - he did do a lot right but maybe it was just my nervous expectation at what would happen at 1-0 that made me notice things he got away with more than I should.

I agree about Routledge, i do like him but he has been shit of late. Got to be Gutierrez and Ben Arfa next. This guys a clown if he was even remotely serious with that comment....Tiote looks quality! Stumbled around if pressured and was lucky to get away with a few loose balls. lack of actual tackles - didn't see much quality tbh. He did look good last week so I hope it was an off day - which it has to be said applies to Barton compared with last well as well.

I also have to say that I agree with all the opinions on Routledge as a championship player - not good enough. In a completely OTT/pissed off vain I'd also say I didn't see that much difference today between Tiote and Amdy Faye.

Another loss against a "rival" - beating Everton and Villa is pointless if we lose games like this - 17th if we're lucky - reality bites again.

You could argue that Pompey and West Ham were lucky to only get fines as well. The Premier league looks after its own. I'd have relegated West Ham, Liverpool and Man Utd over Tevez and Mascherano - never would have happened in a million years though.

I remember after that 1-1 one of the Mackems in the pub I used to drink in asking me what all that "tippy-tappy" stuff we played that day was - "football" was my reply. Swindon failed to pay enough for their lawyers - a mistake Spurs didn't make a few years later for a much bigger crime (tax fiddling).

I'm all for "freak" results but I'd prefer West Brom to have lost in reality (Still not on board CT and Parky's bandwagon)

Or the cuts the Tories lauded that the Irish did which has sent them into a double dip.

I love the way Tories refer to Unions as if they are some dodgy alien bodies. Members got a vote in the election - that's members who are just normal workers last most of us. The idea that it's an "unfair" election because of the union vote is ludicrous. Compared with the Tories who have always been run back dodgy committees of God knows whats (see the ousting of Thatcher as an example), I think its a pretty democratic party - though admittedly Blair has done his best to change that. Also "All Cameron has to do" is fucking hilarious.

Were never going to get and old school left winger but I think David Milliband was tainted by being associated with Blair and his actions as foreign secretary so this isn't a bad choice from the fresh start pov.

Went to Cologne for the Leverkusen match, nice cobbled old market street with good bars and a fantastic curry house around the corner from our hotel (Intercontentinal I think). The cathedral is a good visit - though we bottled the tower climb after seeing some fans who'd just come down in desperate need of oxygen masks and new legs.

2 or 3 35k crowds would only affect the average by 1/1.5k over a season.

I think that's around the time my Irish ex-boss started getting begging emails offering cheap tickets for midweek games after years of having no chance.

How come when I see Scouse cunts on SSN saying "Hopefully we'll get the owners we need and deserve" there's no "deluded" backlash? The owners they deserved would have been any of the cunts who destroyed Pompey.

I enjoyed reading Googlewhack but agree he's not good in person.

Having seen the "pen" repeated a few times there, I'd seriously consider auditing Dowd's accounts - nobody could be that incompetent.

Take that Dowd you twat!!!
