Fair to say that Newcastle aren't exactly coping with Bellamy's pace very well



My prediction still on course though

MisterAnarchy

Chelsea get a soft goal just before half time.
Drogba free kick goes through a shoddy Boro wall.

Mossy Monk

Sheffield United 2 - 1 Spurs

their 2nd was a penalty. the referee really needs to get control of it. starting to erupt now

Ref really screwed up on the peno, Taylors dive was pretty clear by all accounts.

You better hope we beat Man Utd, else hopefully we'll be hearing the end of the "Chelsea for the title" shouts.

Didn't see the game 'cos for some sssstrange reason every pub in Edinburgh was showing the Scotland v Wales game. Curse of the MotM title strikes again.

A clear foul. Saw it with me own eyes so I did! Only home 2 hours max

Guy:Incognito

it was a foul in the sense that he put his foot in front of Riise's. If he had been running (ie tryign to score or create a chance to score, his foot would have been about 2 feet frther forward) He "won" the penalty, as they say.
Dont forget the tacked on "pull up your legs and belly flop" add on.

Also, Bellamy needs shooting.

On another note, ABel Xavier is a defending legend.:D

Anybody know what Barton did?

Ah he stood on Mendes' achilles. He got booked so it's not as if the ref ignored it.

I watched the game with about 5 neutrals and we all saw it as a penalty. The commentators had no doubt it was a penalty. Dunno what reports you were getting but Taylor didn't dive. Newcastle rode their luck in the first half but I thought we showed more fight and character than Pool, and in the second half we thoroughly deserved it with Bells and co completely running out of ideas. Liverpool are still a bunch of softies away from Anfield.

Missing 2 or 3 very easy chances including 1 completely open goal isnt running out of ideas. Chances were being created right up to the end. Bellamy is just crap.

No point in him scoring if he's just going to miss complete sitters, he should have had that game wrapped up on his own.

I havnt seen any mention of Reina so far in this thread. What the hell did he think he was at? HE had 2 options in his situation but chose option 3, the mind boggles.

Newcastle 2-1 Liverpool

A semi-disaster result for Liverpool, dare I say another hiccup! To be fair, Liverpool deserved to win this game, created most of the chances, hit the woodwork etc. They also only had to blame themeselves for the goals they let in.

Bellamy's goal was well worked. Pennant had a good run and I think this was definitely one of Pennants better games, he looked very lively and threaded through a lot of intelligent passes for the whole match. A sharper Kuyt, a sharper Zenden and a sharper Bellamy could have seen Liverpool easily 3-0 up at half-time and deserving it.

Newcastle's goal came out of nothing. A long ball through, which clearly showed up Agger's lack of pace, but Reina messed up big time. I would blame him 95% for this goal, and it left Martins with an easy tap-in.

The penalty was a deserved penalty imo. At real-time speed from the camera angle you might not think it, but form the ref's angle it looked like Riise missed the ball and caught his foot. The Ref was mouthing afterwards (for those that cant lip-read) "He knows it, he knows it" and pointing at Riise who didn't complain too much.

Gerrard didnt seem to be much into this game, perhaps 'hungover' from the international match. Alonso was missed. Good to see Sissoko back but he wasnt back to his old self - yet.

Overall, 3 dropped points.

What with Chelsea winning easy, and Man Utd also comfortable (no Ronaldo), I'm still sticking with my prediction of an MCAL finish.

It will now be interesting to see who Rafa plays in cental midfield in the next few matches with all 3 (Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko) available. I was happy with Alonso and Gerrard in the centre, so we'll see.

Hic, or Hick ...... ;-)

they made hard work of it but got their eventually. Wigan 1 - 0 up in the first half, could have been two but heskey hit the post (he might have gotten the rebound if it weren't for him wheeling off in celebration lol). Typical Arsenal, they dominate the game like only they can but still can't find the net. (well i only saw the second half due to the rugby) eventually they equalise from an own goal on 80 mins and a header by rosicky on 85 made it 2 - 1. Wigan will feel hard done by, they felt they should have had a peno a few mins before the first arsenal goal, but it was slight contact i felt. Lehmann gets himself ruled out the final by getting booked for time wasteing, although in fairness he was just copying what kirkland was doing prior to the first arsenal goal.

Adebayor gets caught offside far too often too, had a goal disallowed for it.

Result leaves arsenal 1 point behind liverpool with a game in hand.

Mossy Monk

Paul Jewell looked really pissed off at full time but i dont think Heskey deserved a penalty. he fell over looking for it

Dave!

Flamini was offside for the OG, should have been disallowed.

therecklessone

Disgraceful performance from the officials, definite penalty IMO and their goal should have been an offside.

Henry's reaction after the goal was childish to say the least.

doesn't the rule say something about there having to be daylight between the two players? there certainly wasn't for that incident. i for one am glad that the advantage went to the attacker for once, as it should be.

and in all fairness kirkland was taking the piss with his kickouts. he should have gotten a yellow just like lehmann

Grand so. Blackburn supporters would love to have him back. He's Liverpool's best striker too.

Pepe LeFrits

Total dive by Heskey, he got the lightest of touches on his shoulder from Flamini and threw himself to the ground at a rather bizarre angle. Flamini was clearly offside for the equaliser though, but I'm not sure was Adebayor was offside for his goal-that-wasn't.

Important win with the trio of cup games coming up, puts the team in a strong position to move into third place with the next two league games at home to Man City and Reading. The games are coming up thick-and-fast now so getting a bit of momentum is a real bonus.

You can have him back.

We should have been out of sight but he made sure Newcastle were kept in the game. I mean the one where he rounded the keeper and shot was going wide of the far post. Thats abysmal.

in what measurable way is he liverpools "best striker"? - because he played for blackburn?

i wouldnt even consider liverpool to have a "best striker"

RasTa

Henry should be ashamed of himself. He also did a blatant dive that of course won't be talked about for weeks and his antics to Kirkland has reduced my already brittle perception of him.

Necronomicon

Henry showed why people's admiration of him is often tainted - his reaction to Kirkland after the equaliser was totally petulant.

redspider

The Arsenal game was an interesting one with several talking points. It shows how Arsenal have difficulty against the weakest of teams. To be fair to Wigan, they played quite well compared to their recent form and deserved more than zero points.

The talking points:

Adebayor's offside goal was offside in my opinion, as most of his body was ahead of the last defender when the ball was kicked.

The Heskey penalty incident should have been a penalty, as he was clearly grabbed. The way he went down though with too much theatre put the Ref off if anything. Many managers advocate that players should go down 'to help the ref' (I dont advocate this at all, as I think Ref's should blow even if players dont go down), so Heskey would be forgiven for going down, but it was just the way he did it.

The Arsenal equaliser was offside.

Henry loses more neutral fans with his bad attitude. I've discussed this with Arsenal fans before as it is not the first nor it wont be the last of his bad behaviour. They forgive him for these ills as they say he is a brilliant genius, and many geniuses are flawed in some way. Whislt that is true, there is a growing amount of neutrals that dont like Henry for these very antics.


Wigan are in the relegation fight and out of the 4 that are battling it out, on paper, I would think that they and West Ham are the most likely to escape. If Wigan would have beaten Arsenal, it would have been a nail in the coffin of the others. As it stands its still to play for.

i dont understand what that has to do with anything

Carcharodon

Dont people think the whole Henry thing is being blown out of proportion, its not that big a deal really is it ???
Flawed Genius ?? Thats a bit much just because he showed a bit of passion and wanted to get a bit of revenge on Kirklands tactics, what person is not guilty of things like that.
Maradona was a flawed genius but Henry...give us a break, he is a great professional 99% of the time.
