I think it's too hard to make a linear list, so I have proposed the following pyramid structure to illustrate context to the varying levels of 'class'. Gods: Messi, Ronaldo, Kevin Davies World Class Forwards: Aguero, Tevez, Van Persie, Ibrahimovic, Eto'o, Neymar Top Class Forwards: Rooney...

Well I'd say that goes too far - it was a hard smack but it was reckless (yellow) rather than serious foul play (red). A case of serious foul play would be something like a stamp or a scissor-like movement with both legs - basically if the part of your body that's getting hit is free to move...

Spot on. The law on that is pretty clear on that - A player, substitute or substituted player is dismissed from the field of play and shown the red card if he/she commits any of the following offences: [*=1|left]Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity (check) to an opponent moving...

Barcelona are a homogeneous team of hispanic midgets. Homogeneity is their source of power. What better way to beat them than with a team of large black men? -------------------Vorm------------------- -Richards----Samba--Kompany----Figueroa- --------------Tiote----Essien--------------...

Everton were rock solid today and we were playing awful hoofball before the ridiculous sending off. I can't imagine what Atkinson saw in it. Of course we didn't play at all well until Gerrard came on. He was the difference, not Rodwell.

Aside from that collapse v Sunderland - a classic European hangover - Stoke are undefeated in all competitions having played us, United, Spurs, Chelsea and a variety of European opponents. They've got one of the best defences in the league and a great squad with a mix of attacking threats with...

He was robbed of a goal v Sunderland and has had plenty of shots on goal since. He's a bit rubbish when picking out or running onto a through ball but he can cause havoc, even against experienced defenders like Johnson yesterday. His partnership with Suarez is only just short of clicking and I...

If you think Coates is ready for the PL then watch the Carling Cup highlights. He made some horrific mistakes which would cost us goals against more clinical opposition. Skrtel makes some rough challenges but would never knock it square across his own box.

He also recklessly conceded possession to Matt Jarvis with one minute left in the game. They could have scored if it wasn't for Lucas. I'd rather Maxi or Bellamy playing out wide to be honest.

Enrique has been stellar today. Put under a lot of pressure in the second half but his composure is superb.

I just jizzed in my pants

I don't think everything's stacked against Carroll. He's had one or two free kicks and got away with bundling over Johnson for the first goal.

Christ, where's the defensive work rate gone? Good time to get Kuyt on.

Good bench today. Kuyt, Gerrard and Bellamy ready to come on and change the game? Yes please. We shouldn't have trouble today.

Aye, that it were. Wasn't particularly good at running PS2 games though. I remember mine couldn't handle MGS3 or Ratchet & Clank. Just got really slow and choppy.
