After two years Anderson really should know more English by now

I really want Hull to stay up. being the local team and all. Also after such a great start it would be devastating for them to go down. Whilst i feel newcastle and middlesborough would actually benefit from going down and be able to come back up. Hull may just keep slipping after all the great work that has been done before.

Now that we (chelsea) only have the FA cup to worry about im sort of more interested in the relegation battle now

Newcastle need to go down, its the only forward for them, the club is such a mess that it needs relegation to shake it back into shape, otherwise, who else is going to take all those **** players off their hands?
No one is going to bid for them, they wont choose to leave if they can still play in the prem, going down is going to be the only way that collection of substandard toss is going to be removed from St James.

West Brom started very well, might get something if they keep this up but all it will take is one moment from Liverpool to score and that's that.

Commentating on YES TV is horrific. Mark Bright's a clueless ****.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 May 2009 at 14:01

Loving the songs and chants the West Brom supporters are coming out with. There's the classic 'Boo', the fantastic 'Booo' and my personal favourite 'Boooo'.

1-0 Gerrard

Guess what? 'Booooooooooo'!

Nice of them to gift Gerrard a goal.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 May 2009 at 14:11

Die Mark Bright die! :mad:

Alonso is a "decent" passer of the ball

Rafa on Alonso: 'We want him to stay.'
Alonso on Liverpool: 'I want to stay.'
Mark Bright's interpretation: 'He'll be gone in the summer.'

Ref could easily have given a pen there.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 May 2009 at 14:21

How was that not a penalty? Olsen played Gerrard :confused:

Olsen will be gone in the second half.

Now I'm all for equal rights in terms of women getting jobs. But Caroline Cheese's decision to stick a picture of an almost naked man up somewhat shows she's utterly forgotten who most of her target audience are.

Mark Bright

After a pass from Gerrard to Torres he's was screaming what a terrible decision it was, he was offiside 'by miles' as he put it, 'clear as day'. On seeing the replay 'good decision' :rolleyes:

wedgie · 17 May 2009 at 14:54

Excellent finish there.

Scratchy · 17 May 2009 at 14:55

Bye Bye West Brom.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 May 2009 at 14:56

Got to say, he's been great again today. His crossing has improved tenfold this season and if he can improve his control as much he could become a very very good player. Great finish

Edit: Lucas has been excellent today as well.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 May 2009 at 15:14

Nothing to play for and Carragher's going mad at Arbeloa for not putting enough effort in. Should've been our captain years ago :cool:

Scratchy · 17 May 2009 at 15:17

Jesus Babel.
