I didn't like Rodgers before but now he's making himself look even more like a tit

I thought the game was on telly today so was pissed off when I realised it wasn't. And I'm in hull at the moment so I couldn't even find a stream.

I was basing my opinion off of comments on here, which I guess is never the best idea really.
 
Taken from the BBC report of the match and, in particular, Rusty's goal celebration!

Watching back the replays of the Norwich goal, I've only just spotted Russell Martin's heart-warming celebration. New dads either go for the rocking cradle or the sucking of their thumb like a dummy, I'm pleased to report that the Canaries skipper went down the Bebeto route while screaming of a similar pitch to his new-born son.

Russ goal was very smooth. He may not always look secure at the back but he has found his scoring touch this season!

Really impressed with the way he just lifted it over Mig.

Just want to say, to be fair. I nearly got very angry on twitter, retweeting that. Looking at the accounts other posts, I'm pretty sure that is just a piss take. Stuff about Norwich beating Bayern, so we are one of the biggest sides in Europe. Looks like a BS account.

FFS you're right, I'm usually more careful and check first if it's the official account.

Decent report <ok>

"These are strange times for the supposed specialist scorers. Between them, Wayne Rooney, Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa, Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez have managed two league goals this season. Norwich central defender Russell Martin has outscored them on his own.

After 11 goals in his first 225 games for the Canaries, he has three in five matches. The most recent and most memorable, taken with lovely soft touch of a flair player rather than the brute force of a centre-half, secured a point at Anfield. Norwich are promoted and prospering. Martin’s defending has its frailties, but his finishing seems fantastic."

Excellent report and it seems that most teams have spent heavily on midfield/strikers, but very little on defenders and we are seeing most teams conceding 'soft' goals. It will be interesting to see if the goals scored by all teams in the PL this season is higher than usual.
Just seen Martin's goal and what a great goal to earn a draw. I haven't seen MotD2 yet to hear the pundits view of it, but I imagine it would hardly have rated a mention!!!

Player ratings from the Daily Flail - Ruddy 8.5, Whittaker 7, Martin 7, Bassong 6.5, Brady 7, Tettey 6.5, Redmond 7, Dorrans 7, Howson 7, Jarvis 6.5, Jerome 5.5. Time to give Redmond a rest perhaps????
