A couple Sky Sports guys lost their jobs because of it a month or two ago.

Haha I could only imagine what for. To be honest she blew an offside and probably should have called a foul but didn't. I'll hold her to the same standards.

Shes not alone in making mistakes from the sidelines.

Good win for Liverpool today, Sunderland really didnt offer anything.

That was a poor call for the penalty, the ref had it right in his mind and then deferred to the linesman despite the fact that the linesman has Titus Bramble between him and the play. The Ref should have stuck with his gut.

Either way, Sunderland were pretty poor, but what a goal from Luis Suarez. Unbelievable, onside, good decision, and got the keeper leaning the wrong way and pretty well roofed it.

You have to say that John Mensah's really brutal play all game cost Sunderland pretty dearly today.

And Torres is terrible.

Hes just walking around, not making anything, poor passing, losing the ball, poor first touch, no fight and no pace.

Now that I've said this he'll score his first for Chelsea.

Mancini playing so defensive and for the draw all the time is really annoying

can't imagine if he ever coaches this team in the CL, games will be unwatchable

d_phaneuf · 03-20-2011, 11:40 AM

Luiz!

Locke · 03-20-2011, 11:40 AM

No fan of Chelski, but this Luiz guy was a good bit of business. Hes amazing, solid defensively and so, so calm.

Are you serious? Did you watch the last couple rounds? Its already borderline unwatchable.

Locke · 03-20-2011, 11:41 AM

And of course, as I say that he scores. What a player.

I didn't mind them, Man City would make the world cup games look good

the 5 worst games in the PL this season I think Man City are a part of 4 of them

Alright, I found the Arsenal, Tottenham and United CL games to be boring.

Not as boring as Liverpool's last 4 Europa matches mind you, but still boring.

This was a national team game! Haha! Brazilian attacking flair versus ancient Italian stodgy defending and caution.

mancini was desperate to sign david luiz in january & july last year, "upstairs" were unconvinced - acted slowly and deal never materialised

d_phaneuf · 03-20-2011, 11:58 AM

Luiz has been unbelievable, he's still a little shaky defensively, but so calm on the ball and so good with it as well

Granted I've only seen him play twice, but he looked really solid at the back today. Although, City didnt challenge him too much.

What a player Suarez is!!! Just seems to be on a different wavelength.

Bolton confirm Holden is out for six months after the brutal tackle by Jonny Evans. Harsh for them, Holden has been great this season and is a player it's hard to not like.

Holden has the right attitude as well - Just had a sincere phone call from Jonny Evans wishing me the best in my recovery, def wasn't intentional, just unfortunate part of the game

In this case, the ref got it right by sending Evans off. Evans and the rest of the United players got it right by not surrounding the ref, and the injured player and mocking him. Finally the fans got it right by cheering for Holden instead of booing and jeering him while he was taken off. Too bad the same couldn't be said about the Nani/Liverpool incident and others like it.

I was fully prepared to thank your post, until that last line.

Le sigh.

SeoulFire · 03-21-2011, 12:23 PM

Truth hurts I guess.

Better? It's simply the most recent example of it

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has joked he would rather play behind 48-year-old youth team coach Steve Bould than any of the club's current defenders.

Szczesny, 20, also branded striker Nicklas Bendtner "arrogant" and fellow goalkeeper Jens Lehmann "a nutcase".

Asked if Lehmann had changed from his first spell at the club, Szczesny said: "I was very young the first time he was at the club but he is still a nutcase!"

Everything rosy in London.

Szczesny is a jokester, it was during a fan forum. Nothing to see here.
