i thought you only play each team once in Europa League? or is it different now?

Now I thought the refereeing standard was actually better in the Championship than the Premiership, but this referee today is trying to prove differently!

He didn't have a clue, around 10 blatant handballs through the match (From both teams) and not one was given. He simply didn't know what his job was, he didn't know the rules. So annoying, doens't deserve to referee again!

No, what you mean is you were winning in the championship. All refs are good if your team is winning

System has changed this year, in order to make Europa League look a bit more like Champions League.

okay Europa League is much better then

well... todays results didn't surprise me in the slightest...

I said he was bad for both teams didn't I? As it happened, he turned down 2 blatant penalties for Newcastle, so he did cost us (Along with the players), but he made Mike Riley look like Collina! He only counted putting the wall back 10 yards once, and he counted to 8.

He gave free kicks either way when a player was pushed off the ball, against the player who was pushed!

He was simply clueless, don't have a clue how he can be paid to do that.

Well this thread isn't nearly as lively as last season

Would you like me to say something contreversial so we can argue like old times?

Ok if Liverpool lose tonight, then again against Utd, then for the first time really, I want rafa out.

Rafa will go. Guaranteed

hope not 1 more season we cant have to rebuild again cos then we wont go forward mind u right now we are going backwards

hate this new tv screening policy

13 years ago today we beat Man Utd 5-0, now we're playing Scunthorpe.

Thank you Mike Ashley.





Also, Rangers and Celtic (Both of similar standard) saying they should be playing in the Premier League 'cause they're too good to be playing in the SPL. However, Rangers are losing 4-1 at home to some Romanian team I had never heard of before this morning! Haha

well cant beleive liverpool have lost again..4 in a row..not happened in many of years..oh well lucky i brought plenty of beers..better have a few more now

Since 1987 apparently, and Man Utd at the weekend, not looking great for you. Still, could be worse, you could be a Newcastle fan with the news for Saturday being that Butt will probably be captain and Chris Hughton may be full time manager.

In a way I want to lose to united. Sounds terrible but this is the only way rafa will lose his job. Which probably sounds even worse call me backward or whatever, I really couldn't care less... change is needed at Liverpool Football Club both manager and owner.

I dont think Torres could possibly stay another year. I love the guy and will have nothing against him should he decide to go to a team capable of challenging for trophies.

our new manager? Hmmmm, I don't care really, as long as it isn't Klinsmann. Maybe Mourinho will lose his job at Inter.

Look At You Liverpuddlians!

I Dispise Liverpool And Anyone Who Plays/Manages For The Club. But Rafa Has Done So Much For Liverpool, A Bit Of A Bad Run And You Want Him Out! Sunderland Are A Good Side, Fiorentina Are A Good Side, Lyon Are French Champions...Football Is Getting Harder And I Dont Think Liverpool Had That Strong A Team The Last 3 Seasons! Lucas? Skrtel? Auriola? Insua? Agger? Vronin?...These Players Are The Reason Your Team Is Doing Poorly. One Thing Liverpool Had Was Spirit, And Quite Frankly I Should Be Laughing At Liverpool Fans Right Now...Bcoz The Fans Were Their Spirit And That Has Quite Cleary Gone!

Chelsea Lost To Wigan And Villa This Season, And The Season Before We Was Robbed Against Barcelona, Season Before A Penalty Slip For The Biggest Club Trophy, We Spend And Waste 30M On Players Like Shevchenko And SWP, Pizarro, Crespo, Veron, Mutu, Kezman And Loads More! All Of These Things Get Me Down, But I Stay True, To The Blue And Thats What, You Should Do!
Come Rain Or Shine, Support Your Team!
Win Or Lose, UP THE BLUES!

And ToonTomh, Rangers Lost 4-1 At Home To An unknown Team In The Champions League, Its Not A Random Occurance, Ruben Kazan Beat Barca At Camp Nou...Mean Barca Are No Good To Join The Premiership? Last Year Roma Were Beaten At Home To FC Cluj, Real Madrid Scraped A Draw At Home To Kiev And Only Just Managed To Beat FC Zurich...This Is What Makes It The Best Club Competition In The World In Any Sport.
Rangers And Celtic Could Be Put Into The Premiership And Would Probly Do Fine, Your Just Jealous Bcoz A Scottish Club Might Be Put Into The Prem And Newcastle Aren;t In It

Rangers and celtic would do fine in the premier league. Rangers lost because they played badly.....shocker!

1) Liverpool will still qualify for the CL despite loosing tonight.
2) arpeggi - Rangers and Celtic would not do well in the EPL they would both finish in the bottom half.
3) Cue Power - Why Are You Writing Like This Were Every Word Has A Capital Letter At The Start?
