Liverpool v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

Shearer always praises us when it's due.  I don't mind him as a pundit.  As a striker he's always going to see it from the strikers point of view.  If you're in the referees position you can see why he gave it.  Although he is a cheating twat.

Clark was damn good. He looks a class better when paired with Vlaar.

Good to hear. I was listening to the TS commentary which picked him up doing good stuff from time to time. I gather Bertrand was excellent in his role, which is, well, excellent news!

I have a major soft spot for Clark, I really want him to succeed for Villa. He just seems like more of a battler when he isn't paired with Baker.

I like him as well, he is a very effective CH and he always tries his best, whatever is happening.

I posted on another thread that Shearer is clearly still better about the VP relegation.

Twat really stuck up for the cheat there.

To be fair he did wave that day to the holte end when we asked him too. I think he was more bitter about how Newcastle had been run down for 5 years.

That said he was talking utter shite today on MOTD.

They relegated themselves literally! 37 games of being pants, and then an own goal by damien duff.

Exactly they were on the decline since sacking Bobby Robson. He recognised that and wasn't bitter against us in my opinion. He showed some gallows humour.

Come on lads, Guzan should have been more cautious considering Suarez' reputation.

No. Referee's should be more cautious considering Saurez' reputation.

Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this, but, aren't we getting some great results in the blackcurrant away strip?

I think that kit will be remembered very fondly for years to come.

I think Bacuna looked a little daft in the second half to be fair.

He was lightly brushed in his chest, yet went down as if someone had smashed him in the face with a sledgehammer. I don't really want our players doing things like that.

[Dave Cooper please]

Difficult to tell from our position but we all thought Guzan had pulled that c**t down. Bloke behind showed us a clip of it on his phone. He really does need fucking off out of this league. It won't bother me one iota if someone breaks both his legs and he never plays again. I don't mean Guzan, obviously.

Nor me, hope you had a great day out, I'd break them for him if you gave me a hammer

The pre-match pub was top drawer and sold some cracking beer. Roll on Everton away.

Which pub?
I love Liverpool.

I agree. Shearer likes us for some reason. Suarez definitely dived but I can't blame the ref for giving it, and I thought Guzan brought it on himself for diving in at his feet.

We are tenth!!!!

Top half.

Stitch that, you miserablists.




And before you reply, consider where you predicted we would be at the end of today.
For the record, I predicted 2 - 3.

What is all this horseshit about contact? So fucking what? It's a contact sport. Contact does not equate to a foul. Not that there was even a whisker of a touch.

Does the cheating buck toothed ****** fall over when it's busy in Tesco down the fruit and beg aisle, when old lady Dorris squeezes past to get a turnip and brushes him?

Quite, if he wants to know what contact is he should travel on the Tube.

Gary Lineker talking a serious amount of tripe on twitter about the penalty decision at the minute. Claims it wasn't a dive and stupid goalkeeping on Guzan's part. I feel like giving up on football sometimes

Typical of the thick pundits at work today, how can it be anything other than a dive when he wasn't impeded in any way?  He's the kind of twat that comes out with "there was contact" and "he wasn't the last man" because he's too lazy and dumb to actually read and understand the laws of the game

You are right I think.

Which specific Law are you referring too?

Mainly the one that says a red card is due when a goal scoring opportunity has been denied.  Last time i checked the laws there was no mention that you had to be "last man".  And the definition of a foul does not equal contact.  It's easy to forget these days but football started out as a contact sport.

[Irish villain]

Great to be tenth and a top six performance tonight.

But I don't think anybody's been 'miserablist', things are incredibly tight in the bottom half with six points separating ten clubs. We had some shocking results (Palace at home, Fulham away in particular) and are 7 points off 9th and only six points off bottom.

A win against Baggies and I will finally relax and start to feel confident we are a mid-table team. Come on lads, deliver that...I want to escape the 'moaner' column I have been in for the past few months.

[ktvillan]

Shearer is a total fucking knobhead.
So it was a pen because Guzan came out, even though there was no foul or contact, because Guzan slid along the ground and was not 'in control of his body' it was a pen?
Fucking horseshit.

Yes I'd love to know which law of the game backs that one up. As if the twunt has ever read them anyway.  Not that the punditry game is in any way a leisurely gravy train for retired dimwits who once happened to be good with a ball.

[Dave Cooper please]

If one of my kids did what Suarez did today, I'd take him off and tell the designated penalty-taker to miss. Yes, I know there's a massive difference between Primary School football and the Premier League.

Amazingly, this happened in a game I was watching a few weeks ago. My neighbor coaches one of the Sandwell Academy team (U12s), I pop along to watch and help out carrying the magic sponge when I'm free, I get a pint out of it! Anyway, they were playing a team from Tipton when a Sandwell player blatantly dived, the ref gave it and the coach (my mate) strode onto the pitch and  picked his player up, told him to apologise and told the captain to deliberately miss the penalty, he rolled it to the keeper.
