So yes, you are wrong.

Completely.

Again.

OK, if he wasn't on a yellow I believe you.
Strange though, I though he was and asked my mate who was watching it with me (a liverpool supporter) and he also said that Pennant was on a yellow, but I'm sure your right.

He definately should of got a yellow for his aggressive behaviour even though he was provoked.
All players should get yellow carded when acting aggresively, its the only way to stop it.

Also I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong, I'm often wrong.
I though Manchester United would win the treble last season, but didn't predict 3 of our 4 normal back 4 would be out against AC Milan.

So just had to settle for United being crowned champions.

Liverpool though are champions as well, check out this link to see how Liverpool are the champions of how to get it wrong, so funny!

I did watch the Liverpool game and have to say its more of the same.
Liverpool are still completely relient on Gerrard.
The second half was very dull, Liverpool are still at least 20 points off the pace and like I thought Torres is a 10 goal a season player. His reputation in Spain was to miss the easy ones and score the hard ones.
Exactly NOT ...[text shortened]... y say thay I'm more of a supporter than 90% of the people that post on this sports site.

I didn't watch the Chelsea game, only seen the highlights.
Its horrible watching them its like watching Liverpool of the 70's, so dull, and eventually they get an odd goal to win.

I doubt you've even seen the highlights. The game was everything but dull and the "odd goal" they needed to win was their third. Chelsea played much more attractive football than last season and from what I'm reading from you, it seems like a re-run of last season's opinions.

I don't doubt you're a big supporter of your club, what I doubt is your ability to see the games objectively. Everybody has a bias if they love the club, but that doesn't mean that the bias is proportional to the love of your club.

...... Gerrard would make the bench though and even may get a fair share of games challenging Scholes for his place....

ARE YOU SERIOUS?🙄

Like I said I've only seen the highlights, maybe they played great attractive football, maybe they did not.

I saw Chelsea play in the Charity Shield last week and they were dull.
I saw Chelsea play in FA Cup final and they were dull.
They were very dull most of last season, very narrow, no wing play.
They only seemed to play fairly attractive football last season when Robben or JCole played and that was not often.

I actually think Chelsea played very attractive football when Duff played on the left and Roben on the right.

When Ballack and Schevchenko joined the new formation may have been solid but just about every game I saw them play with Ballack and Lampard in the centre was dull, dull, dull.

Not as dull as Liverpool though!

Yes, Gerrard is the only Liverpool player who could get in Manchester Uniteds 17 man squad.

Gerrard would only challenge for Scholes position as the attacking midfielder.
As I said sometimes Scholes would get the pick sometimes Gerrard.
Do you think Gerrard is so much better than Scholes and would fit into Uniteds attacking style of play every game ahead of Scholes?
Many pundits and players had Scholes nominated as player of the year last season.

Would you pick Gerrard ahead of Ronaldo on the right?
Would you pick Gerrard ahead of Giggs or Nani on the left?
Would you play Gerrard in the hole ahead of Rooney or Tevez?
Would you play Gerrard in a holding midfield position in front of defense ahead of Hargreaves?

btw whats happened at Tottenham?
I thought they would have a great season and maybe break into the top 4, but now.....

Reina > Van der Sar
Finnan = Neville
Riise = Evra
Carragher > Vidic
Agger < Ferdinand
Gerrard > Ronaldo
Alonso < Scholes
Mascherano > Carrick (or Hargreaves)
Kewell < Giggs
Torres = Tevez
Kuyt < Rooney

I'd say it was pretty even actually.

As for Spurs, I offered you a bet on them (and Man City & Newcastle!!!!) finishing higher than LFC, I take it you're not going to back up your, now obvious, wind up?

It's all in your choice of pairings

Reina = VDS
Finnan = Neville (although I'd say the Neviller edges it)
Riise = Evra
Carragher < Ferdinand
Agger < Vidic
Mascherano > Carrick
Gerrard < Ronaldo
Alonso < Scholes
Kewell < Giggs
Torres < Rooney
Kuyt < Tevez

ofcourse they have had a BAD start, but give it another 4 weeks, when dawson, King, Bale and lannon all come back.

The midfield is very weak, they are not creating any chanches for the forwords to score. Jol needs to sort something out.

Do they have the 'greater than' and 'less than' symbols the wrong way round on Portugese keyboards?
