I think that Cameron is under the impression that Fellaini's vile kick into Joseph Allen's chest warranted excessive force and thus a red card, which may have affected the outcome of the football match.

You mean Jordo?

Yes, sorry. I always get the members of the Scouse Gang mixed up.

He gave Everton a free kick for this.

Just prior to the start of the gif Allen pulls Fellaini back to get in front of him IIRC.

Aww c'mon....

I haven't read anything anywhere saying is was "unprofessional" ( ).

If something is funny you would naturally laugh/smile.

“There was only one team who came into the derby trying to play football,” said the Liverpool midfielder.

“I thought we stood up to a team that are very similar to Stoke. Every single time they get the ball at the goalkeeper it comes in long.

“Everton are effective because they have some big physical lads in the team and are very direct. They are effective. But the only team who tried to play football was us. Everton are not better than us.

"Everton were very direct and were getting on the second balls. The plan in the second half was to go 3-5-2 and try to stop the long balls coming in.

“Once we stopped that we passed through Everton and looked very dangerous on the break.

“We had a young, small team and they were all men and stood together. We deserved the win.”

Miralles looks a bit like Ronaldo.

I would say he looks better.

The funniest thing was what he said when talking about Neville's dive... he said something along the lines of "it's all part of the game, but you don't expect your captain to dive like that"


Anyway, time to move on. Hopefully Gibson is back this weekend and we twat Fulham

I don't think we played particularly well. We Kept launching it up-field for a quick counter and it was coming straight back. Nobody (except Allen) was trying to slow it down....so frustrating.
