    @Paragraoh1 - I don't see how what your saying doesn't fit with what I've said, your arguing for the sake of arguing. Nothing your saying is in contradiction to me saying we would have won if the goal stood. Yes there was still the rest of the game to play, but that doesnt all of a sudden mean there wasn't a disallowed goal.

    @Paragraph2 - feel free to go and find a single example outside of this thread of me blaming the ref for our results. More rubbish from you. There are a few people who refuse to have anything said on match threads about the officials without having a meltdown and accusing whoever mentioned the ref of making excuses for the team. The two things aren't mutually exclusive, you can both complain about a ref and think a result is down to a poor performance from the team. Posters like you and Cini seem to struggle with that concept.

    As for your general point about these things working themselves out over a season - that's a tired cliche and clearly isn't correct. It's an absolute statistical nonsense to think ref decisions will even themselves out fairly over the course of a season, total nonsense. However I completely agree that over a course of a season we will have results both go our way and not go our way down to ref decisions.

    @paragraph3 - Actually it's correct, myself and Gerrez had chucked a couple of "should have" type banter comments at each other clearly trying to wind each other up, the conversation had moved on prior to your comments. It was just a nice light hearted conversation until you arrived <laugh> But yes, you are fully entitled to your opinion and more than welcome to air it :) Funnily enough, posting that comment on the Liverpool board I had expected to get some disagreement :p

    @yourfinalline - so you agree, I didn't actually relate the ref performance and the team performance in any way and you were wrong to suggest I had. Thank you.

    I've read all of this and there's no purpose in me posting a lengthy reply back because we're going to go round in circles. Nothing that you've written has made me feel like I need to reply back to this without making the same points I've already made. Personally, I don't feel like you've adequately addressed my posts, but I suppose you would say the same about me.

    All I'm going to say is you have a different view on footballing matters to me.

    I feel left out with you, sisu and Astro taking all the long, meaningless conversations on... I haven't had a pedantic, long winded, pointless discussion on the Liverpool board for a while :p

    not until you say... "I just don't like him and am making up **** to justify an opinion" when you could just say "I'm entitled to my opinion" and leave it at that.

    This is the benteke facts make idiots out of those spouting rubbish thread.

    I don't like him because:

    He has no intelligence
    Technically limited
    No movement
    Lazy
    Doesn't press

    The list above is not made up and deep down ... You know this...It's killing you inside.

    Please MITO - the sooner you come to acceptance, the easier it will be for you when he is sold for horse meat in the summer.

    Which makes point No.1 appear wrong

    When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be how many words of three letters or more can you make from his name.
    Now I see it's yet another thread about football. <doh>

    In the 13 league games Lukaku has scored or assisted in, you have kept a clean sheet in 2 of them (incidentally, in neither of those two games did Lukaku's goals change the result).

    Apart from the 2 clean sheets mentioned above, you kept another 3 clean sheets in which Lukaku did **** all.

    So it's clear you have a choice between clean sheets and Lukaku scoring, and most of the time when Lukaku scores you don't win anyway.

    40% of your complaints are #racist and the rest are just wrong
