You have changed your mind from the first day of the season, when Sunderland should have had a red card so make your bloody mind up. That's it anything against Liverpool you go for it, go fuck yourself you tit.

You could see the huge gulf in class between the two teams and the only time I felt Liverpool threatened was after a Suarez dive to gain advantage.

I am wondering how much of an advantage Liverpool are going to gain from these referees, another red card against the opposition, statistics of red cards for and against Livepool in the past 4 seasons would be extremely interesting to see

There is no inconsistency in thinking one decision is a red card and an entirely different incident isn't a red card. I judge incidents on the facts, I do not have any agenda.

We did better than you. 6-1 What a joke.

Thanks for clearing that up, Cheesy.

And people say we always have the ref on our side

They were all the wrong decisions. Scousers have been bitching about Howard etc helping out UTD but aren't man enough to admit Atkinson has assisted them in 3 big games this season.

Don't give me all of that. People here are arguing over it and saying that he shouldn't have gone.

True, but in our game the referee sent off one of our players for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity by fouling an opponent. In your game, Manchester City scored a goal for you, the referee allowed one of your players to stay on after denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, and he sent one of your opponents off for a fairly innocuous coming together. There was a retarded lad sat next to me in the pub, I think he had Stephen Hawking's disease, and even he wouldn't have gone down under that tackle.

Yeah. perhaps a goal was scored for us by a City player (you had Mr OG as your 2nd top scorer a couple seasons back iirc and have had your fair share of lucky goals this season) but at least we weren't outplayed. At least we weren't retarded enough to concede 6 goals, and we actually looked like the better side throughout the match as a whole. Have you seen the BBC Stats?


Possession - Liverpool 58% Man City 44%
Shots - Liverpool 17 Man City 7
On Target - Liverpool 9 Man City 3

You can go on all you like about our goal being lucky (even though their goal was equally as lucky), or Reina's so called deliberate handball (which wasn't deliberate at all, the ball ricocheted off Aguero, Reina had no chance), but at the end of the day, we put in a much, much better shift than you did. We could actually have won the game, whereas you were struggling to keep your scoreline respectable.

We kept Aguero, Nasri and Silva relatively quiet all match and put in arguably the best performance against them in the League this season.

I was not aware that the game ended 6 minutes before the final whistle.

We went at them when we only had 10 men and got punished for that, brutally, Liverpool were never in that position thanks to benefits from the referee. Individual scorelines mean fuck all anyway, the fact that you drew 1-1 with Manchesters United and City while City skullfucked us demonstrates that quite clearly.

We were the better team against you and City though. Top quality goalkeeping near the end of both games saved you and City a point.
