Been a while since Man U won me some money so am hoping they can change that today and come from behind.

The problem with betting on football, and with FF, is you end up wanting teams you shouldn't to win!
 
Chelsea V Arsenal sounds good.

Just home from town (with a new TV) so the race is on to get it up and running for the next match LOL
 
What the hell does Ramires need to do to get booked? He shouldn't even be on the pitch by now! Atkinson is having an absolute shocker, but so has Giroud!
 
Ramires MOTM? He dived for the pen, fouled in the run up to the first goal and committed multiple unpunished fouls since. I think my faith in football just died a little. He should have been off shortly after half time!

Henderson was MOTM I reckon. That second effort he had after the goal was some skill.

As I have said in Europe he has ran the midfield, looking forward to seeing more of him. The way he is playing, I hope he continues to improve.

Lol
 
Both redknapp and Neville say it wasn't a penalty but because it was given Szczesny should have walked. Ref got it wrong on two counts. Ramires admits it was a foul on Coquelin in the build up to the first.
 
Also note that the cheapest away ticket today was £60. I don't supposed anyone will comment on that today though.
 
From my FF point of view - Happy to see Mata, Walcott and RVP scoring as only Suarez got me a goal yesterday.

Should open your eyes when watching Liverpool in Europe then. He's been solid in midfield but never got any praise from the commentators for it!
 
Even more hilarious to see Man U get a taste of their own medicine conceding in fergie time.

I think I had De Gea in goal this week.

Bummer - I thought we were going to hold out for 3 points there.

Still - at the start of the season - if you'd offered me max away points at City, Liverpool and Chelsea but a draw away to Spurs I'd have been happy.

On a plus point - it was nice to watch on a decent sized TV for a change.

I agree. It's the same as how long it took Lucas haters to realize his worth.
 
HA,

love this moment, talk about rubbing it in your face

That ginger quiff is hilarious:)
 
Coutino signs for LFC. Bags of potential there.

Steven Gerrard Liverpools greatest ever player?

I think carra has a point, other liverpool greats have been in world class teams but gerrard has spent most of his career in much lesser teams.

Pretty cool stat that he has so far played every single minute of every premier league game so far this season. I wonder how common that is for an outfield player of his age? anyone got stats?

He's back to his best too recently. I will always say Kenny is the best player I've ever seen play for us. He was an absolute magician.
 
He'll give his take on it, the FA will apologise for bothering him and ask who he wants to referee his next game.

What clarification is needed? I bet he'll get off without sanction whilst others wouldn't even be given the chance to explain themselves!

I'll be amazed if he doesn't get a ban or fine for what he said - let's see.
