end of hopes for top4. we will never reach liverpool this season (and city, che, ars). liverpool are killing upfront. i'm saying this from the start of the season.

we're top6 contenders.

 

[DFF]

Svenster to take over Cardiff, eh? That rules him out of our job. Thank god.

Meanwhile over at Loftus Road, Benny got involved in an on pitch row with a team mate. Shoves and finger pointing handbags.

This is why I want pochettino, the only other teams playing this type of football is city, scum and s'ton.

Movement, pressing, counter, combinations, amazing teamwork, one-two touch, one-two's.

Pochetinno should be thrown too much money at him to turn down. We can turn his head, I'm sure of it.

its like watching a bird you fancy kissing some other fat obnoxious twat ,while you yourself live at home with your mum and watch celebrity cash in the attic while wanking into a cotton sock.

Let me guess - he wasn't tracking back and someone had a pop?

Like everything in football, the Suarez decision and subsequent events are not necessarily so predictable. Liverpool signed him, played the right system around him and things worked out - he is an absolute beast. It could all have been so different though. We might have signed him, picked up a little injury or not played in the right system and he might have been heading off to a lower club a year later for half the money. These things are so hard to predict and even amazing players don't necessarily make it big if things don't go their way. That, for me, is why people going on about Redknapp making a massive mistake are just cherry picking through the wonders of hindsight.

Nah, he got in behind the Leicester defence and put in a crappy cross. Charlie Austin moaned about it, Benny ran over, I think it was Nico tried to keep the peace and got shoved away by Benwah then he pointed at Austin and had a few words......something like that.

 

[thinktank]

hilarious non-defending.

Joey Barton red card. That's a first..

 

[Ashen]

They were singing a song about Vincent Tam. It was met with applause from the Liverpool crowd, did anyone catch it?

True, plus his goal scoring was poor in his first season iirc, I think he had the worst shots to goals ratios in the league ? Liverpool stuck by him though and are reaping the rewards

Wow had do Cardiff not get a pen for that!

Have to take issue with that (don't just listen to Peter Beagrie...)

Benny was in acres down the left. Charlie Austen (or Austin) had already run and was well past the front post, Benny waited and a runner (Carroll i believe) was just coming into the centre of the box and Benny fizzed a cut back that was headed straight for him but then Austen tried to manufacture some bizzare header at goal whilst diving backwards, then moaned at Benny telling him to fuck off. Benny was aving none of that and promptly thought he'd tell him (Austen) where he should go.
Commentators couldn't even see beyond the first man, slating it as a poor cross to Austen. Benny is that good wasted playing with bums like Austen

 

[DFF]

Applause all around Anfield for Malky Mackay to stay.

Joey Barton red card. That's a first..

Ref was a joke.

One of these real "respect ma authoritah!!!" ones.
Barton took issue with some of his early decisions that went against QPR (they were bad decisions but still no excuse) so the ref, calls Barton to him, and was constantly pointing and beckoning Barton closer, one of those power trips "come to me, Kneel before Zod" and then even called over the captain over nothing other than Barton respecting him (then he got annoyed with Hill as he started questioning the decisions too )

But it was no surprise that Barton was sent off for (not sure but) either saying something whilst walking away from the ref, or walking away and not coming to him (again)

A couple of minutes later Benny swiped at a clearance on the touchline with his swinger, and the ball went out of play. The Lino (who was right there) gave a goal kick and the Leicester player in close attendance went nuts. Everyone was wlking away for the goal kick then about 10 seconds later the ref changes his mind (presumably due to the protestations) and gives the corner. Cue more QPR outrage.

Was a real novelty ref.

Well yeah, all of that but i'm not sure what you're taking issue with? I'm not judging the quality of the cross, just saying what happened next, a bit like question of sport.

I couldn't be arsed to flesh out exactly what happened in the passage of play in question......Wether the cross was the best cross in the world or the worst, Benny reacted and IMO reacted poorly. He should have saved it for the dressing room.

Crappy cross not judgement then

And i would react the same if a bum like Austen gave me grief for everyone to see over a cross/pass that wasn't even meant for him.
