Heh, heh, heh. Steve McMahon likes to start shit. On my stream he's just called Everton boring in his pre-match analysis, and says Moyes has drilled them in defensive duties only, as he certainly hasn't drilled them in attacking play.

Third time he's done this. Own goal! Mic captures Sky presenters' sexist diatribe against female linesman - and Apprentice star Karren Brady | Mail Online Own goal! Mic captures Sky presenters' sexist diatribe against female linesman - and Apprentice star Karren Brady By MAIL ON SUNDAY REPORTER Last updated at 1:46 AM on 23rd January 2011 Comments (16) Add to My Stories Richard Keys and Andy Gray believed their microphones were switched off Sky Sports presenters Andy Gray and Richard Keys were at the centre of a sexism row last night after they questioned whether a female linesman knew the offside rule during a Premier League football match. The commentators, who apparently believed their microphones were switched off, were recorded making disparaging remarks about Sian Massey, 25, before Liverpool’s Premiership clash with Wolves yesterday. They also criticised Apprentice star and West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady who had yesterday written about sexism in a newspaper column. Commenting on Ms Massey, Mr Keys said: ‘Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her.’ Mr Gray, a former Scottish international footballer, replied: ‘Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the offside rule.’ Mr Keys replied: ‘Course they don’t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. Kenny (Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish) will go potty. This isn’t the first time, is it? Didn’t we have one before?’* The Sky presenters made disparaging remarks about assistant referee Sian Massey Later in the exchange, Mr Keys said: ‘The game’s gone mad. Did you hear charming Karren Brady this morning complaining about sexism? Do me a favour, love.’ Ms Brady had said she had ‘experienced sexism at its rankest, lies about my personal life and a level of calculated mischief that is simply appalling’. Asked about the pundits’ remarks, she said: ‘I think this just sums up everything I said in my column.’ During the game, which Liverpool won 3-0, Ms Massey angered Wolves by refusing to rule Raul Meireles offside before he set up Liverpool’s first goal. The replay showed that she made the correct decision. When The Mail on Sunday put the transcript to Mr Keys, he said: ‘I have no recollection of that. I have no idea what you are talking about. 'My recollection is that I wished the young lady all the best.’ When told a recording existed of the conversation, he said: ‘If you have a tape then you don’t need me to talk to you.’ Last night The Mail on Sunday sent a transcript and a copy of the recording to a Sky Sports spokeswoman. She was not able to confirm or deny the veracity of the clip, which was provided to this newspaper by an anonymous source.

Thants to guess first: Scum 1-1 Wigan (Rooney, Heskey) Southend 1-2 Chavs (Revell, Lampard 2) Others: Palace Scum 1-1 Leicester (Leicester win on pens) Newcastle 2 -1 Hull

I'd quite like this thread to be bile-free if at all possible. I also don't see the point of anyone posting "I don't care what their team is..." Apparently Yobo is fit again, but they still don't have any strikers apart from Anichebe. Fellaini is suspended as we know. Looking at how thin their squad is, Moyes doesn't have much room for manoeuvre. Leaving aside the fact that we all want Liverpool to batter Everton tonight, what team do you reckon they will pick? I think it might help us if Lescott plays centre half. They look far more solid when he's at left back and Yobo is in the middle with Jagielka. Their team against Hull was Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Neville, Arteta, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini and Cahill. It sounds like Anichebe is going to come in for Fellaini. If they were to start without any physical presence up front, I think the ball would just keep coming back at them. Anyone expect any other changes? Anyone seen Castillo play for them yet?
