And Hoddle's ex girlfriend was this faith healer's daughter...isn't love sweet?

TBH though I actually think Sturridge has won you just as much..

[Guest]

TBH though I actually think Sturridge has won you just as much..

True. Strurridge's goals have won us 14 points.

Good shout Mysti   

[Hammersmith harrier]

He scored against us in a losing effort when they were 2-0 down as well, it's all about context with these 23 goals in 19 games, how many of them affected the result of the game?

Last season for instance Van Persies goals secured something like 24 points for us which is quite significant.

A quick calculation suggests that Suarez has won us 11 points thus far. On this gradient he's on course to win Liverpool 18+ points in a non title challenging team.

Context indeed.

That is more meaningful than his goal statistic Freek.


John; I have absolutely no idea who's going to replace Vidic, think Jones needs to be given an extended run at centre back as of now, there's no point playing Rio or Vidic for the remainder of the season. Garay is linked every single season but I don't really rate him, wouldn't want a defender coming from the Iberian peninsula fullstop. We need to look at Italy and Germany.

[mystiroakey]

Jones and smalling pairing...give them an extended run

[Guest]

Yeah Jones needs and extended run at CB. His natural and preferred position.

I can see him being an outstanding CB given the chance.

Bummer. (Has that been said?)

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm on a draw in the Villa/Hammers game, a Palace win, a draw in Barnsley/Ipswich and a win for Northampton

Me fiver will return over 300 quid. Tidy

[mystiroakey]

hammers
Arsenal
cardiff 

is my main triple. Big odds as well.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Id say Villa are a decent price.

There's only one area of the pitch Liverpool even scratch up against Arsenal for me. Strikeforce is outstanding, but the midfield will get walked over and that defence is abysmal. Considering that the mighty West Ham are only matched on clean sheets by Arsenal's impressive defence, I still think Arsenal should win this

[mystiroakey]

Dolph you have played really well though. I know you dont have Carrol. But Nolan is back on it. I think he can be a general out there. The lads will still be playing on confidence for the first time this season..

Obviously Villa are on the up as well after that last sensational result. It will be a great game for me.

[The Special Juan]

Liverpool are much better up front than Arsenal but are weaker in midfield (slightly) and defence (muchly)... Put me down for 2-2.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If you wanna watch proper football stick Yeovil vs Leeds on!

Wind causing havoc

[mystiroakey]

Ox and Wilshire starting

[guildfordbat]

A minute's applause for Tony Hateley. In some ways, the Andy Carroll of his day at Anfield.

[mystiroakey]

Inside  a minute.. Omg

[The Special Juan]

Michael Owen's already doing my jubblies in.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Set pieces, always hard to predict them in the mix up of a game

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Poor defending from that set piece by Le Arse

[mystiroakey]

Up the gunners. Come on....

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Awful goal for United and Everton fans, Spurs fans will feel conflicted

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Mignolet.

[The Special Juan]

Go on Skrtel hattrick

[mystiroakey]

Oh my days

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Rodgers' teams, sigh, all this set piece focus. Big knucklehead centre backs the focus. Typical!   

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What a header that is btw

[Duty281]

And this is Arsenal's season crashing and burning!

Always thought Liverpool could pip them to 3rd.

[mystiroakey]

Don't be silly duty. This game isn't over yet.

But omg it could have been 4 nil already

[The Special Juan]

RIP Arsenal's title challenge. It lasted longer than normal this time, just like your mum.

[Guest]

Always thought Liverpool could pip them to 3rd.

That's the spirit.

[mystiroakey]

Can I take back my previous comment?

Unbelievable.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Arsenal implosion, Liverpool incredible

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Genuinely should be 5-0 at this moment!

Arsenal torn to shreds

[Dolphin Ziggler]

This doesnt happen to a Chelsea or a Man City

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Frak

[Duty281]

Why Arsenal won't win the title, reason number 73.

All along I've rated Liverpool; as far back as August I was talking them up as outside title contenders - I do love being smug.

[The Special Juan]

If this was FIFA Mertesacker would be downgraded to 1 speed.

Nothing to feel smug about, they're still massive outsiders.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

And you backed United till about January!!

[Duty281]

That's why I need to be smug when I have the (rare) opportunity!

4 nil - double figures?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wonder what refereeing conspiracy this will be put down to!

[mystiroakey]

Oh come on lads don't flip this.. You all backed an explosion from the start.

They are leading the pl..... You have nothing to feel smug about.. Even of they don't win or finish top 2 . Le arse are doing good stuff. It's one game..

[Duty281]

And I've had doubts for a long time about Arsenal's defence! #shouldhaveinvested

Liverpool, and Brendan Rodgers, are as good as I believed them to be last August. #smug

[mystiroakey]

They are good... They proved that against other high class teams in everton and Totenham..

In one off games they are almost up there with Citehs top level.

It will be great to see them back in Europe.

[The Special Juan]

That's a good an opening 20 minutes as I've ever seen. What was a big game on Wednesday is now gargantuan for Arsenal.

[Duty281]

European nights at Anfield - I may not especially like Liverpool, but I love those sort of nights.

[compelling and rich]

arsenals lack of any midfielder with a defensive mind being found out here, Liverpool been turning into space running at the arsenal defence with no protection. when youve got sterling, suarez and sturridge your asking for trouble

defending from set pieces was a awful start obviously as well

[Guest]

Unbelievable opening half hour.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ozil   either class or crap
