This is a bloke that takes regular barrages of abuse from the likes of Rooney, Ferdinand, Terry, Gerrard etc, yet when Shola tries to defend himself about showing dissent he gets a further booking. Nowt will come of any of it mind.

Shame for Cole, as I think he's been excellent and always put a shift in for England where others in his generation have been inconsistent in internationals. I do understand it mind, Baines is brilliant and Shaw fully deserves his place and he's the future of the team for that position so it's good experience for him. I like the idea of the teams a few of you have posted, if we see Gerrard and Lampard lining up together I'll be switching off tbh. Our first game is going to be near the equator so a pair of plodding 30+ year olds that have had plenty of attempts wont be much to watch. Hopefully we see a young team and just go for it, our chances of winning it are slim anyway so may as well use it as experience.

"You're only 6 points behind Southampton" What an achievement to be that close to a team that were in league one just a few year ago.

After shouting Dowd down today he should put on that "whyaye man" costume and become a leader in the anti Ashley movement, he's good at yelling at fat cunts as he's the first man to get through Dowd's thick skin.

Finished below Stoke ffs, what a damp squib this season has been.

Aye, there was a 50 odd year old bloke running laps with an inflatable trophy, what a knacker.

Aye it's like sending a player off for stamping the ground in frustration and saying "well he was near that opposition players foot and was being aggressive".

Phil Dowd MOTM for them like, 2 soft free kicks and 2 soft sendings off to help the best attack in world football overcome the 4th worst defence in the league.

"Suarez done him a favor not staying down there" Why? did the rush of air as Dummett past him knock him over ffs.

The commentator there man when Sammy went down "yeah they go down very soft these days and I guess the referee feels like he has to give it in the name of consistency" aye consistent with the 2 soft free kicks they scored from.

Sammy's silky feet

He loves subbing Gouffran off mind.

There's the left back on

Fully agree, the defending was shite for both, Krul getting beat at his near post for the first then flapping at the second. Joke defending on both. Don't know why he took Gouffran off mind, think he's been one of our best players.

How the fuck did none of these Liverpool players get booked for that?

The second free kick was canny soft I thought, the past 15 mins do seem like Dowd is trying to help them out a bit.

Aye it's fucking ridiculous, the first one looked like he was yelling but the second one it looked like he just went over for a word, maybe he said something but like you say Terry, Rooney, Gerrard etc berate refs for 90 mins and never really get booked.

It was a soft free kick mind, and if he did call him a fat cunt he's right about that as well. At least that might damage Shola's chances of getting a new contract.

A straight red for having a go at the ref? That's fucking shocking Rooney should be sent off every match if that's the case.

Shola sent off?

Krul canny clueless on both free kicks.

Some of these free kicks are a bit soft like.

Imagine sitting near her, "Come on loooouueeeeeeeeesss!!!" everytime he touches the ball while shaking her Uruguay flag.

The middle aged woman decked out head to toe in Uruguay kit complete with flag behind our goal looks like the fat lass off benefit street.
