The issue is a lack of consistency regarding Suarez May 2011 Rooney flicks the V-sign to Chelsea fans - No charge. Dec 2011 Suarez gives Fulham fans the bird - Charged. Then of course, dismissing a player challenging for a ball not under control of opponant - sent off and FA awards a 3 match ban Player kicks opponent off the ball, not even a challenge - FA appeals AGAINST a 3 match ban. If the FA weren't so inconsistent, Kenny couldn't come out with these obvious cases. When you lot take your collective heads out of your arses, you might see the light...
Ha, yes we do seem to be collecting them this season. Unlike Spurs where you seem to cause teams to make mistakes and get red cards. We've not been playing badly this season but you guys have that bit of extra quality in all aspects of the game. The main one is being able to finish.
Rooney actually made a gesture towards his own eyes, directed towards the linesman. If you watch the clip back, he's clearly not flicking the V-sign to Chelsea fans. He virtually pokes himself in the eye. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag.../3570225/Did-Rooney-give-fans-the-V-sign.html Sorry for the source, Scousers.
So, as usual, the Liverpool fans have got it wrong. As I said on their board he should get the same as Adebayor for inciting the crowd, 2 match suspended ban and a £25k fine, aswell as apologising of course.
Adebayor shouldn't have got that, though. Why? Because Henry did exactly the same thing after scoring against us and wasn't punished. He even did the same knee slide.
You can say it's a new rule, though. I think it was deserved and Adebayor has apologised several times for it but for once I think the FA got it spot on.
i think the difference might that Henry did'nt used to play for us,so it might not incite the crowd as much,maybe
Have you noticed how Lawro, this season, has turned against his beloved 'Pool? He never predicts that they will win, but puts them down to draw. How the might have fallen.* *I'm talking, here, about Lawro's ego, of course.
They've had an odd season so far, haven't they? Wins against Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton, draws against the two Manc clubs on one hand, but losses to Fulham and Stoke, plus draws with Norwich and Swansea on the other. Completely battered by us, too. Definitely not the finished article, by any means.
I just don't have a clue what is going on. We are playing well enough to compete, but I find myself going into the weekend thinking that we will dominate the game but come out without a win. We are playing football that should see us get top 4 but so are 5 other teams, we are the bottom of that pile because we can't score our chances. 15 shots on target yesterday, 14 times we have hit the woodwork this season (Surely that is against the law of averages? )...our lack of goals are why we sit at the bottom of the pile amongst the top 6. We aren't out of the running for the top 4 by no means but I just can't see it happening. Impressed with you lot though, a game in hand and you are sitting on 31 points. Playing great football, hats off to 'Arry on Parker...don't know why it took him so long to leave WH.
I think their porn mag owner must have had some photos of Scotty tea-bagging a dwarf, or something. It's the only possible explanation why he stuck with the Spanners for so long.
I think Liverpool are becoming to the Premier League what Leeds are to the Championship - they're not seen as a contender by clubs expecting to be up there in May, but they are seen as a scalp by the rest of the league. That would explain why they perform against the Manc corporations and Chelsea, yet can't get the measure of Fulham/Swansea/Norwich/Stoke.
The simple fact is that 'Pool have lost their consistency, and that is what makes them no longer serious contenders for the EPL title, and only reasonable contenders for a top 4 slot. Even Arsenal have managed to find some degree of consistency, following their disastrous start to the season, and it's hardly surprising that they now sit in 4th spot.
