We're really confident because yesterday was the start of an easy run of games against shit teams...there was your boys, and coming up we have Man Utd at home, and Bolton, Citeh, and Chelsea away...easy. Safe before the end of April!

I thought it was a freekick meself, but can see the argument the other way. Ah well as Bruce said after the beach ball "these things happen". :P

You did well, just a shame Mensah looks a terrible player at times. Thought you'd probably get a point until Suarez's intervention. What a player.

Mensah was never in the box. Ergo........

Sunderland aren't shit, Mensah is shit. What they were today was extremely unlucky: Two injuries on 20 minutes and a blatently incorrect penalty awarded for the liability that is Mensah. f**ked from then on. The ref was a disgrace.

Well the Almunia-Squillachi combo proved truely deadly yesterday, unbelievable stuff. The only positive was our comeback and hopefully we can build from that. Everything crossed that by the time the international break is over Theo and Cesc will be back as we sure as feck aren't going to win games by defending

Well was tight, wrong cal but hardly a 'disgrace'. Was nowhere near as poor decision as the beachball in the same fixture last year, or maybe even the confusion in the earlier fixture.

What's that got to do with anything? I was explaining why Sunderland weren't shit and how it was that Liverpool won.

The ref was terrible throughout. There was nothing freak to reside over, like a beachball incident, just a match. He failed miserably.

I was just explaining I didn't think he was a 'disgrace'. He got that wrong (well he actually got it right but the linesman didn't) but apart from that he was fairly standard I thought.

He was awful. He slowed the game right down with his pedantry and gave decision after dubious decision to Liverpool. It made for an awful game, which was just winding up to be a canny affair before the penalty award. Bringing the ball back for a free kick after Liverpool's advantage didn't pay off was nothing short of a joke. You could write a thesis in his defense and you still wouldn't convince me otherwise. He f**ked it right up, the scouse twat.

With that out of the way, I just hope that we finish above Newcastle so that I get a free trip to Portugal. Oh, and that we sack both Mensah and Bruce.

To be fair I just edited my old post because I forgot about the weird advantage. Wouldn't say he was awfully biased though, just a bit whistle happy like most of the refs in the league.

Nah it was a different discussion. It was after West Ham and I just said that injuries had caught up with us, and you said that isn't an excuse as every team has them. Was only a joke anyway.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
