Haven't seen anyone mention it yet but Hendo was great again. Him, Moreno and Manquillo were our best.

Stoppage time mayhem and 3 points. I love it.

Aspas trying to hitch a ride back here.

A team gets beat 3 - 0 and manager says "If we'd have got the penalty decision at 1 - 0 it would have changed the game." No, it might have changed the game, or, more likely, it simply would've made the final score 3 - 1.

Real Madrid and Basel

On his day he can win us games from an attacking centre-mid position. I am glad that we've got enough back-up not to need to rely on him to do so though.

His shooting's generally poor, his final balls though can be incredible. His instinct for the weight of a pass and the angles of a pitch seems unreal sometimes. His dribbling and strength on the ball can be great too. But he is inconsistent. He's also still young.

We we didn't have enough in attack, but it's hard to get too down about that, it certainly wasn't a problem last season and we've got better players yet to come in. We'll be a lot better when they all settle. Moreno (minus the fuck-up) and Markovic looked good. Poor performance but it doesn't leave me pessimistic about the season.

It is, I'm guessing we didn't want 2 newbie full-backs starting and went with Moreno. Don't get why we've got Toure and Sakho both on the bench though, 2 centre-halfs who don't play in any other positions. What's the likelihood we'll need both?

The quote he's standing next to is a refreshing change from the usual first interview optimism.

He's made a few appearances here if I remember rightly: https://twitter.com/AccidentalP

Bit of a cliché but not having an obvious star attacking player (presuming we don't sign one) could have its positives. It could make for some good camaraderie between Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho and Hendo if they feel like they all have to take on responsibility together, despite their ages, because there's no one else now.

I have, I'm living in Japan now.

Greetings you bunch of pricks. I've been lurking on here during our title run-in, so as a thank you here's a link to an article I've just read about Suarez. The reporter goes to Uruguay to find out the truth about whether or not he actually head-butted a ref in a kid's game when he was 15. All kinds of noir-ish intrigue ensues and he finds out a fair bit about Luis' background. I'm sure you'll all enjoy. http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/10984370/portrait-serial-winner-luis-suarez-soccer-most-beautiful-player And if someone else has already posted this somewhere, well then fuck yas.

Thank you fungus. Just thought I'd pop in and post something to let off some steam. A good place for shitty football day consolation is this.

Need to remember that the handshake non-incident happened within about a second. It seems like Suarez looked at Evra's hand, thought that Evra was withdrawing it and instinctively withdrew himself, so as not to look like the loser. The fact that Evra then grabs his arm suggests to me that he was going to shake Suarez's hand, but maybe just wanted to show he was reluctant, which both seems to fit with Evra's personality (i.e. a moody, stroppy so and so) and explains why Suarez got the impression that Evra didn't want to shake hands at all. Needless to say that the above is a closer inspection of what happened than any journalist will (or forum poster should) undertake.

Evra may have been on the winning side today, he may be a good footballer, he may even have been right in this racism debacle, but what he is not is a man you would have more than one pint with in the bar of a departures lounge. And that, as they say, is what life's about.* *Though obviously I say this in the midst of bitter disappointment.

Hello. I used to post on here a year or so ago (2000+ posts, plus I'm apparently even cooler than The Proclaimers) and remembered this fact, for some reason, about an hour ago. Since then I've going back through old threads, opening old PM's, wading through masses of pornography. Internet nostalgia is a weird thing. It's sort of like running into an old girlfriend, but one with the ability to shout a load of the stupid stuff you once said loud enough for the rest of the world to hear. In fact, given what time it is, I suppose this post is a sort of pity fuck (granted by the GF, of course). I'll probably be gone in the morning, missing a shoe and having stolen a GIF of a bacon sarnie, but I feel like I should give you something. So here's a song. [YOUTUBE]-lNE7jWA5AE[/YOUTUBE] Hopefully I'm introducing this girl to you, but probably not. Anyway enjoy, and bye forever, or until the next time I'm pissed.

Morris forked out 80k out of his own pocket to fund a 10 minute short film which, apart from a bit of CGI to make a dog's mouth move convincingly enough to make it appear fluent in English, wasn't very extravogent in terms of production. I don't think it's quite as simple as him taking a trip to the cash machine. Evidently not, seeing as they've turned it down. There's a genuine fear in television of offending Muslims imo, I doubt any 'big' station wants to make it. Like I've said, this seems very much a last resort. Correct. It'll be genuinely saddening if this film doesn't get made.

Hello all. Right; Morris' script about British Jihads, having been turned down by the BBC and C4 as a series, is now being made by Warp Films as a feature length movie. The problem however is that no one will stump up the cash to fund it - if you remember Morris' last project with Warp (his short 'My Wrongs') was funded by the man himself. So, all other options exhausted it seems, Morris is now looking for donations in order to get it off the ground. They're looking for contributions between 25 and 100 pounds, which, although I'm not sure how this will work, will give the contributor the chance to appear in the film itself. An enquiry email to fundingmentalism@warpfilms.com gets you this stock email reply - Dear Lion At the moment the detonator’s going off and you’re part of it but until the effect has gone exponential, your mails are being sorted by one person so bear with me. Many people have asked us exactly what the Four Lions project is. Clearly we can’t launch the film before its been shot, but I’ve pulled together a few paragraphs from the paperwork that’s been flying around. Its shameless hype but its accurate – unlike almost everything you will have read in the press. No one who has read the script could disagree with a word here. In three years of research, Chris Morris has spoken to terrorism experts, imams, police, secret services and hundreds of Muslims. Even those who have trained and fought jihad report the frequency of farce. At training camps young jihadis argue about honey, cry for their mums, shoot each other’s feet off, chase snakes and get thrown out for smoking. A minute into his martyrdom video, a would-be bomber looks puzzled and says “what was the question again?” On millennium eve, five jihadis set out to ram a US warship. They slipped their boat into the water and carefully stacked it with explosives. It sank. Terrorist cells have the same group dynamics as stag parties and five a side football teams. There is conflict, friendship, misunderstanding and rivalry. Terrorism is about ideology, but it’s also about berks. Four Lions is a funny, thrilling fictional story that illuminates modern British jihad with an insight beyond anything else in our culture. It plunges us beyond seeing these young men as unfathomably alien. It undermines the folly of just wishing them away or alienating the entire culture from which they emerge. It understands how terrorism relates to testosterone. It understands jihadis as human beings. And it understands human beings as innately ridiculous. As Spinal Tap understood heavy metal and Dr Strangelove the Cold War, Four Lions understands modern British jihadis. As for your offer, we’re hoping to set up a one click pay scheme soon. We’ll let you know. Hope that helps Deirdre Steed. PS Please pass this on to ten more people. I'm going to contribute to this not as Chris Morris 'fanboy' nor as someone who fancies getting their name on a credit reel, but, with sounding too cuntish here, as someone who really wants to see this film made. As a rule I hate people calling films 'important', but if there's an important movie to be made right now then this is it. Plus of course, it sounds very fucking funny. Morris has written it with Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong (who've worked on Peep Show and The Thick Of It among other things) and it seems as though they're ready to shoot once the funding is in place. So give generously.

Elect Hugh Abott.

I was in a Geography lesson in secondary school; must have been year 8. I think I can prove the evils of a child's mind by saying that - a) The majority of the class were just happy not to do work for 10 minutes while the teahcer told us. b) My memory of a mate running up to me after an English Lesson and telling me that Gerrard had publicly stated that he was staying at Liverpool, and wasn't going to Chelsea, is far more vivid.

I saw Gerrard in a snooker club near mine when I was about 12. I just sat there, completly still, staring unblinkingly at him; like a slow-motion moment in a shit 80's teen movie.

Without Gerrard I think we could either come together as a team and galvanise, give them everything non-stop for 90 minutes; or we could crumble in front of them. We'll see.

Makes me laugh when you see that show's credits, because it's the two blokes who have created the show and who write it (draw up the hustles I presume that means). From that I gather that the BBC have said, 'This is great boys, but it'd be better with a third person. How about Paul Daniels, he could trick people?' 'Leave it to us mate, we'll find someone'.
