Re: Football Season 2011/12
Interesting stat though, Liverpool have not actually won any of their last three trophies during actual playing time, all of them on the penalty lottery. 
PS, great come back from Oldham Athletic to beat Sheffield utd 3-2 from 2-0 down and with Rochdale holding Sheffield Wed to a draw it was a good day for my 'other ' teams.

Very true iadom but a trophy is a trophy.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Not a great deal anyone can do to counter van Persie at the moment, he's in the form of his life... as for our lot in front of goal, well.
Glad Arteta was ok, we had a good view of it where we were and nobody goes down like that for nowt, it looked very bad indeed.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has said his side's current position of fifth in the Premier League is not good enough and "piles pressure" on him.
The Portuguese said West Bromwich Albion fully deserved their 1-0 win over the Blues at The Hawthorns and were "superior in every minute".
Villas-Boas added: "It's not been good enough for some time. We're fifth and if that is the case, something's wrong.
"Every defeat piles more pressure on any Chelsea manager."

Just a matter of when Abramovich pulls the trigger in my mind.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Just watched BBC highlights of the football...the guy on BBC commentary said it was a penalty...no way...it was a blatant dive
Thankfully crew in studio disagree
I would ban divers for 6 games

Yes l agree it was a dive but l am afraid most refs are not clever enough to see though these dives.

This is type of incident where i would bring in video evidence...that would support referees...help them by letting players know...if they cheat...they will get caught and punished

Re: Football Season 2011/12
they wont do it. neither will they act after the game unless the refs says he didnt see it.. suppose to be some form of having the refs in control and thats it. pretty pathetic tbh.. the fa should revisit that rule and punish regardless if it warrants further action

Re: Football Season 2011/12
In the Newcastle/Sunderland the ref has given a excellent penalty decision.
