Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [25th - 27th Feb 2012]

They were lucky earlier in the season too when City hammered them, you went and gave Arsenal an even bigger spanking a couple of hours later.

If only you got penalty shoot outs in the league eh.

Indeed. 11 wins from 13 shootouts is pretty special.

It still comes down to luck for the most part though.

Certainly today anyway, the Adam penalty was absolute comedy.

So is 8 draws from 12 home games.

Spurs are lucky there was a cup final today, not even half as much attention on them losing 5 goals after being 2-0 up as there should be

Redknapp has a lot to answer for. Shocking how he set Spurs up today.

There's an element of luck but having a good keeper and players that can score from the spot helps too.

Our record from the spot this season has been shocking though. Including the 2 in the shootout today, I think we've missed 7 already.

You drew the 2008 CL Final? Are you telling us that Utd are only as successful as Nottingham Forest in Europe?

Absolutely it does.

What I found strange today though, is that everyone tried to tuck the ball in the left (facing the goal) corner of the net.

Surely if you are feeling the pressure or aren't all that confident, you want to first and foremost ensure you hit the target, as it still has a fairly good chance of going in.

It was a really poor show.

I'm also gutted that Liverpool have now drawn level with us on domestic cups won, that record was dear to my heart.

 

[utajoker]

Some thugs, presumably ones who claim to support Liverpool hit him.

Quality from Carra for people who didn't see.

thought that was john bishop at first

 

[BaZ87]

Just reading that it looks like Agger's broke a rib. ****ing hell, just when it looks like he's over his injury problems, he goes and gets injured

We can't score for **** but at least we could defend with Agger and Skrtel at the back. Carragher showed within minutes of coming on today why his inclusion will cost us points when he received the ball in acres of space in our half and simply hoofed it straight back to their keeper.

haha didnt see that, LOVE IT

Cant stand Sky Sports people they are so smug and think they own football, well said Jamie.

So will drawing with a Championship side be the catalyst for Liverpool's season?

lol jealous much

Hopefully Agger's not out for long and more importantly, Skrtel can keep up his good form alongside Carra while he's there. Agger generally gets the more praise but Skrtel has been incredible of late and if only our forwards had his attacking instincts. He always seems to find himself on the end of knock downs/rebounds at corners, unfortunately he usually smashes them over the bar.

Has my Dad done something wrong here? The part where it says "Lost" is the status of the bet. This is Betfair.

AFAIK extra time betting encapsulates the 30mins period of extra time only, so betting on 2-2 correct score in extra time would have needed the game (which was 1-1 after full time) to finish 3-3 after extra time.

*No personal attacks*. Stop brown-nosing the Liverpool fans just because they're being nice to you today.

 

[Azza]

Cheets, you're a ****ing idiot. Stop brown-nosing the Liverpool fans just because they're being nice to you today.

He supports Liverpool now, didn't you know?

 

[Robbo]

Edit that Solo, don't rise to it. I don't want to see you banned.

Everyone is aware of what he's like.

Edit: Ridiculous.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

why doesn't cheets open a fishing shop? He already is well stocked in bait.

 

[Andybtsn]

Guys, personal attacks won't be tolerated.

If you don't like someone's post stick them on ignore.

This is the Football Arena, people need to remember that it's just football and it's all banter to wind each other up.
