Arsenal looked toothless today, M'boro played pretty well but should have won and were badly denied a penalty. 1-1 Liverpool in 15 min...

Rafa must have smoked something he's starting Kuyt as the lone striker... I'd reckon Steven Gerrard is the other striker. I understand keane hasn't been very effective this season, but Kuyt as the lone striker? I'm glad yossi benayoun is getting some time on the pitch.. just a thought, maybe I should pick up Robbie Keane on my fantasy team and then drop him and he'll start to score?

dear GOD! I really think poor Carra has scored more own goals than goals... but the man plays hard, and always comes back. I'd love to see him get one back. put in a DAMN STRIKER!...
GERRARD AGAIN! 2-2

just my 'umble opinion, but from what the official has been calling, hulls first goal, while pretty, constitutes "jumping into another player" and just wasn't called, and was the result of a poorly called foul that was a dive, blatent. the second, poor carra... Gerrard to the rescue, If torres had been fit/playing, I think liverpool would have been up 5-2, as kuyt missed 3 screaming chances. Dossenna, I think needs to go back to Italy, and send Riise back. Liverpool's set piece defending, horrible as usual. Seriously, Torres get better...I love you dirk kuyt, but you're not a very good striker. This game has been pretty physical, and honestly the first half was really enjoying... other than the first 20 minutes.

2nd half is kicking off, Hope it's more exciting for those in Red, pool's pace is seemingly short... especially up top. and in the back..

poor result for liverpool, great result for hull. I do understand that keane hasn't impressed, but dirk kuyt had my incredibly delicate touch today, but still no excuse.

AC Milan v Juve was extremely entertaining this afternoon.

Although our friend Jason is probably unhappy with the result.

Jason's never happy with the results.

It was expected, we just need to rebuild already. We're cycling to a crap spell, been through it before and it'll happen again.

Maldini is still the man, this guy is totally unbelievable. I'm no big fan of defenders but he is likely my all time favorite player, can't believe he still does what he does at 40.
