Posted March 30, 2012 He's a Liverpool player, i want him fit, no matter how good or bad he is. If King Kenny wants to play him, i'm fine with that, i trust King Kenny's judgement massively. I wouldn't based on the season you've had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Just found this out this morning. "The Bulgaria international [Stiliyan Petrov], 32, developed a fever following last weekend's defeat to Arsenal and was diagnosed with acute leukaemia at lunchtime on Friday." It seems they've caught him early on, seeing as they were aware of his fever before the diagnosis, hope he gets better soon. In other news Carroll has said; "If I scored on Sunday then I wouldn't celebrate," he told The Chronicle. "I hope I get a good reception from the fans, they'll be getting one from me." I don't see him scoring today, infact I think Newcastle have a pretty good chance of winning this match. Edited March 31, 2012 by -Dem0- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, well Newcastle are favourites, above us in the league, at home, we're on poor form. I think we'll be massively improved though, as we are much better against good teams (Newcastle are good) and away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Awful news about Petrov, it's going to be a long hard battle for him. I hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery. It's 11 years to the day that David Rocastle passed away after a long battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A true club legend and fan favourite, the only past player who's name is still sung at most if not all home games. RIP Rocky. Bit of a treat, the man himself wearing the famous 'bruised banana' kit. ---- MERGED In a nut shell: Shite. Two mistakes cost us two goals, but we were never fully in the game. Need a performance against Man City next weekend. Edited March 31, 2012 by Ramar Automerged Doublepost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) but we were never fully in the game. Need a performance against Man City next weekend. Le Tissier pointed that out a couple of times during coverage as well. Wenger's been saying for a while now that we need to focus, todays performance only reinforced his words. We need to amp up our game and beat those b-mancs. speaking about the b-mancs... Sunderland should've won the game, they played better & Dzeko went for a dip. But boy is Bendtner performing, and don't forget the ever consistent Larsson. unlucky cats.

Posted March 31, 2012 Possibly our biggest game of the season tomorrow. At leas that's what it feels like. Little bit worried about our defence with Collo missing, but hopefully we should score enough to compensate. Really, really need to win this to stay in the fight for 5th (4th?!) place I reckon. Howay the toon, if we can beat Man Utd 3-0 at home we can do the same to Liverpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 31, 2012 How can you beat Manchester United they don't play Newcastle United untill next season He is making reference to the game earlier on in the season. Its crazy how much the lower teams decide to turn it on during the run in. I can see Villa and Mcleish getting sucked down the plughole just like last season with Brum.

Posted March 31, 2012 How can you beat Manchester United they don't play Newcastle United untill next season We beat Manchester United 3-0 earlier so we can beat Liverpool Dembe Ba is really good i think he will score i hope we don't concede too many goals should be a good game though.

Posted March 31, 2012 To be cut adrift this late on in the season, Wolves look a certainty to be relegated, I mean with QPR, Bolton and Wigan all picking up 3 points today, it'll take a miracle for them to stay up. But with 24 points still up for grabs who knows yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 31, 2012 we played shit today lost 5-1 at home to burnley suddenly threw everything we had them as 3-1 we should have just played it out and not wreck our goal difference even further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see Villa and Mcleish getting sucked down the plughole just like last season with Brum. I've been thinking of this for a long while. It's entirely possible that Villa won't win any of their remaining games. They're not easy. They've not played good football this season and Mcleish is not the right man for them. They don't play good football under him. Also, thanks Sunderland. A shame they couldn't hold on for the win, but a draw is still a great result for them.

Posted April 1, 2012 What a joke! Liverpool gonna be 11 points behind Newcastle. Disgrace! This team is pathetic. so many average players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2012 My word that was satisfying. I really thought our defence would collapse without Collo but full credit to Perch and Williamson, they played very well and kept the other team at bay. Williamson came very close to scoring a nice little goal himself at one point. Ben Arfa and Cisse really combining well up front again, that first goal was just lovely. Credit to Liverpool where it's due; for the first twenty minutes they definitely looked the stronger side. I really thought Caroll was going to score that chance, but instead he decided to dive? Or he just fell over...I'm not sure which is worse really. We were also quite lucky that Simpson's arm-ball went unnoticed. Felt a bit sorry for the L'pool fans in the end, the sending off was a bit soft but I don't think Reina left the referee with much choice really. Still, brilliant result which makes it 3 wins in a row, keeping us nicely level on points with Chelsea and keeps 4th place in our sights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2012 Liverpool are such a joke, you can't but laugh. I have to say I'm really enjoying the misery the club is experiencing at the moment. Carroll's dive just sums it all up; pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2012 Terrible decisions from the officials. Simpson should of been sent off at 0-0 with us getting a pen. Perch was embarrasing, as there was no contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 1, 2012 Both teams are exactly where they deserve to be, based on how they've played football and performed in the league. Putting aside Kenny Dalglish's history with the club, Liverpool haven't played good football this season, the new players haven't come in and performed well, and the tactics haven't been right. In contrast, Newcastle have spent well and bought in two fantastic goalscorers in Ba and Cisse, whilst Cabaye has quietly got on with his work whilst receiving next to no praise. Cabaye and Tiote have run that midfield this season, which allows the likes of Ben Arfa (also been immense), Ba and Cisse to get on with it. They've been a laughing stock for some time, but they've bounced back after relegation and are playing good football. On the other hand, Liverpool are spending big sums of money and are not getting into the top 4. Again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah that's it, spit your dummy out. Blame it on the officials and not the horrible mediocrity that makes up your team at the moment. When did I blame the result on the officials? I pointed out 2 massive errors which cost us. I never once said that it was the only reason we lost. 2nd goal was tiny bit offside aswell.

I never once said that it was the only reason we lost. 2nd goal was tiny bit offside aswell. Oh come on, you heavily implied it Yeah that second goal...I'm a bit confused at that too to be honest. I'm interested to hear their reasoning. I will say while Perch was completely melodramatic, the blame lies mainly with Reina for losing his rag in such a curious fashion. I'm pretty sure there was contact but I'll wait until I see the replay again. Silly stuff from both players. whilst Cabaye has quietly got on with his work whilst receiving next to no praise. I dunno about this bit mind, I often hear a good deal of praise for Why-aye Cabaye I think part of the reason for our success at the moment is the simple team spirit they all seem to have when they play. The whole team works really well together even when they have to work around injuries and Pardew has worked a minor miracle to make all of this happen.

Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) The main reason I hate Liverpool with a passion isn't anything to do with Carrol, Enrique or Daglish. It's because you have that horrible diving rat-cunt called Suarez playing for you. Anyway I enjoyed the game today, I thought I was watching Comedy Centeral at one point.
