I have to say that I thought last night was a great game of football and I really enjoyed it. Best match I have seen for ages. After the 3-0 bore fest against Barnsley last night was a breath of fresh air. If we had held on and won 2-1 then everyone would be saying it was a great performance but RF...

decent performance in the first half. we would have benefited from playing about 10 to 20 yards further up the pitch, instead we sat a little too deep and invited cardiff on. how bad is chris gunter btw? awful. Well spotted Kes-I watched on TV and in the first 10 minutes he sliced the ball into tou...

The Edwards goal was presumably why we bought him as his career has been established around his arriving in the box late to finish off moves-more of it please. I am no great fan of Joey but credit him with taking advantage of Barnsley backing off so he chanced his arm and it worked. Having already b...

Yes because UEFA are going to give more than 4 places to one nation just so the likes of teams outside the boring big 6 will have a better chance of qualifying once in a blue moon. Personally think anything more than 1 place for any nation in the CHAMPIONS League is plainly ridiculous anyway And th...

Going way back I can remember 2 specific games at Elm Park and we were seldom in the same division as them. One was an FA Cup game when a high-flying top division Wednesday played us and won 3-2(?) with Jim McCalliog scoring the winner late on. The other was a Friday night league game when Wednesday...

tbf most fans would rather see their team win a boring game 1-0 than throw away a three goal lead obvs was delighted to see them fook it up (and also 'surprisingly unsurprised' they did this....) Nobody said anything about a 1-0. Why delighted? Surely you want English teams to do well-it helps for ...

Another terrific defensive performance from the once mighty reds. Don’t know what it will take for them to be able to defend like a top team should be able to defend but until Klopp does find a solution they will never win anything and only ever achieve the occasional 4th place in the league. That ...

I would actually start going to football matches again if it was more like going to rugby matches - both in terms of atmosphere and clientele. So you prefer to go where everybody is pissed rather than just some pissed? Do you also enjoy the tedious singing of Sweet Chariot at England games? I don't...

Royal_jimmy Expect us to gift them at least one goal

With Gunter and the rest all looking and wondering who should have been marking the goalscorer.
Would be delighted if we won this one but am not that optimistic.

The thing about Beerens is that he is not just soft (like most wingers other than the likes of Sir Steve) as Royal Blue says but he isn't now beating his man so ,in a position where Stam is spoiled for choice,most of the fans find it hard to understand why he gets picked ahead of the others. Also as...

I don't like how managers reputations are trashed so quickly having previously done a good job. Moyes did a very decent job at Everton for 10 years. His work at Utd was also no disaster as other managers since have shown. I agree with you in general terms about reputations-it is more common in our ...

I would have thought Kes would have something to say after the Chelsea game but maybe he is no longer a fan. I thought Chelsea played really well and if Bakayoko could shoot it might have been a 4-0 rather than just a 1-0 thrashing. Lol @t Mourinho not blaming injuries because he doesn't do that sor...

We are a club that tends to give lengthy contracts to anybody whereas Arsenal for example, along with some other clubs, won't offer a contract in excess of 1 year to a player over 30. It is most unlikely that Yann would get a contract elsewhere after next Summer so I suggest the club didn't have to ...

As I thought. You're happy to dish it out but not happy to take responsibility for your words in real life. Well you know where I am. Seriously are you inviting him for an IRL fight!? I've merely requested that he considers what he says and whether it would be appropriate to say that to my or anyon...

I love Klopp, and hope he avoids the sack for ten more years, but he has got to stop pissing about with defence. Taking the centre-half off today was the worst thing he could have done: he can't do anything with Lovren now. Was there no bit of advice he could have given at half-time, instead? Hmm, ...

A lot of talk on here about systems but I think it is more about the players. Centre-backs and defenders play in those positions because of what they are-under Stam these players have more of the ball than anybody else but are least equipped to be doing anything with it. As I see it, a team is drive...

Totally agree about Sonko-we said at the time "WTF is he doing carrying on?"
Poor management/physio decision IMHO.

I notice Liverpool scraped through last night and are now amazingly at the top of the group.
You never know, they might even get through to the next round.

If Carlsberg did football results......... Mods, please let Kes back, if only for this thread. Agreed. I would willingly give up my access to AE (where I have found myself in trouble lately) so that Kes could be allowed back for this thread only and for the rest of us to enjoy the effect of results...
