Last season Pool were allowed to score 6 offside goals, were given endless penalties for dives and scored goals via free kicks given for dives and via handballs, not to mention the refusal to award penalties against them etc. Last season Pool had all the `rub of the green` as they wanted a title race, though `rub of the green` is a bit far fetched, it`s plain old bias and corruption imo.
Astro thinks that the refs are out to get Liverpool, while they give you the most penalties and refuse to book you for diving. He's not606's Jimmy Liddel.
Only Utd can make Arsenal this good. Does anyone reckon all of Utd, Spurs & Arsenal will finish in the top half?
United did look (almost) as bad as us in the first half and have improved a bit this, but you're home and hosed alright.
To be fair, that was an easier second half than I expected. We began to sit a lot deeper and our intensity dropped. I was concerned that United would pick us apart. But they really do lack guile in the middle of the park. I think maybe they expected their forwards to skin a poor Arsenal defence. United were attempting a lot of cut-backs. But we sensed the danger and Torreira/Xhaka both did good jobs at moping up when needed. In the end, it became too one-dimensional. United's passing was cumbersome, which made it a lot easier for us to defend against. As poor as United were, Arsenal showed a level of togetherness and fighting spirit that we've not seen all season. The players are evidently working a lot harder. I hope we keep it up.
LiVARpool given the win again by corrupt refs and var. (just filling in for @Billy The Yid this week as hes currently feeling very very sick)
Imagine what it’s going to be like when it’s your boys turn then Ours is 30 years Yours is ?? Also how do you know the story this season isn’t about the biggest implosion ever only one team has been top at Christmas and not gone on to win the league.... I am the pessimistic one
Nah we're the pantomime villains here to spoil Leicester's fun, everyone knows that. Look all I know is I clicked on BBC sport this morning and the front page had 3 articles and a video about Liverpool's unbeaten calendar year. It's excessive to the point of being creepy. Can't have been much Kleenex left there or in Sky's offices after your win yesterday.
