Lets hope for them scores tomorrow!!!

Not to the punishing extent of the last scandal. Juve got relegated by it!

AC Milan and Lazio got relegated in the 80s for it too.

And stop wishing you were Maldini

Ill turn my attention to Marco Van Basten then so, purely for footballing reasons.

Seriously, what a player.

Yep. Any game involving the bigger clubs in the league is normally 1-1.

To be fair that isn't usually that uncommon but in a season of 8-2 and 6-1 it's an even more boring choice.

Very much so.

Lawro's not respecting us as a big club though with a 1-1 at Spurs! Still, I'd be delighted if we pulled that off. I think we've got a chance, but not a huge one.

Quite interesting, even though his predictions leave Spurs 5th, they'd be on pretty much the same points. Wolves on 39 points and already safe as well!

He was part of the best club side I have ever seen, I would include barca in that.

Van basten
Gullet
Baresi
Maldini
Rijkard etc etc.

I suppose points tallys for each position are slightly exaggerated if you do it on a game by game basis.

For example you would have City down to win pretty much all of their games as favourites, and Blackburn down as to lose pretty much every one. The odd upset changes that.

Although actually with his 1-1 draw tendency I'd be surprised if in his league Man City/United etc have even lost a game!

Aye. Shows he predicts cautiously though. And gets a hell of a lot wrong. Of course, if he was that good at predicting, people would bet according to his predictions and make a bundle.

Just saw the news that Best has been ruled out for the season. I reckon our chances of nicking a Champs Lge spot have just gone up

Well I'm off to watch the game. I'm sure we're going to get a hiding so just hope no controversy comes from this. I'm sure someone will find something though!

[Kowalski]

It's good to see Suarez has learnt from his time off.  The man is a repulsive stain.

He's rapidly catching up on Terry as the biggest c**t in the EPL.

[lost]

I'm starting to wonder if he's trying to engineer a move to Spain, eye gouging and high on Parker last week, now this. Problem is Dalglish just keeps backing him.

Well it was quite easy to find. Think Neville was spot on though, they both hate each other. Why treat each other with respect/shake hands? Equally Evra tried to stir it up at the end but he's entitled too as well. I quite like it.

It's over now anyway. Don't have to play each other again. Job done. Let's enjoy the season.

Oh and Neville is really top class as a pundit. Exceptional. I feel dirty for liking him so much.

I disagree strummer, its clear they don't like each other but its a situation that needs diffusing. I thought Liverpool handed the situation originally but thought once things calmed down they would reflect.and move on. I didn't understand kenny bringing the ban up last week. Regarding the handshake Suarez was silly to give evra the chance to take the moral high ground today. I assume it was discussed before, so maybe its a sign man u are a bit cleverer from a corporate view.

Oh I think it was a silly move. He should've shaken his hand just to get on with the game but those with faux-moral outrage need to calm down and realise there's a fairly obvious reason it didn't happen. As with the Evra incident at the end. It's not savoury but it isn't unbelievable.

Oh and United are definitely cleverer with the PR/corporate side. We're light years behind. My dad was spoke to someone from the Mirror not long back. He said the reason Liverpool lost the FA case was because United were really clever with how they set up their argument and Liverpool were more lacklustre with their preparation. Learning curve all round unfortunately.

i cant say im a massive Liverpool fan, but Luis Suarez in my eyes is an absolute nightmare, after he reserved his 8 match ban he came on the pitch at Anfield last week (for the last 20mins or so) and he kicked a player clean in the chest (witch he could of easily got a red for) then today he refused to shake Patrice evera's hand after the horrific racial abused he suffered at O.T just over a month by Mr Suarez  

what a horrible and spiteful "man"  he's showing up his club and a man in Dalglish who's trying to stick by him over all the allegations and stunts. but its just showing him up because he's defending a man that's quit obviously a very nasty and
cynical person.

he's making a fool of  Liverpool FC and to our country, because we don't stand for rubbish like that here and he thinks he can do and say as he pleases. i hope he rots .

Sorry that last bit is bollocks. We stand for all sorts of that crap in this country in football and normal life. We aren't morally superior in anyway shape or form, we're just pompous.

[thetime]

was a fantastic result today to go top, we have had a horrendous run of arsenal away, chelsea away and liverpool home and we got 7 points out of them. Thats title winning form, we have spurs away and city away out of the top 8 sides to play.

players coming back and a easier run in than city all is good.

[Ed209]

He's an utter disgrace to Liverpool football club. The only people who can't see it are the fans. They need to stop treating the odeous little shit like somekind of hero, otherwise he'll keep dragging this clubs great name further through the mud
