Weekend Football 24/25th

[papereyes]

BurnLOLey lose 4-0 and are relegated.

The bottom three this season are woeful - this is probably going to be the lowest points total for 3rd bottom in a very long time.

Nice to see AvROFLam Grant has now shut up about the unfairness of the 9 point deduction seeing as they'd be down even if they were given back the 9 points

I imagine that if they had the 9 pts back, they may well have won a few more points more. Hope springs and all that.

6-0 Chelsea

Kalou x3
Lampard x2 (1 penalty)
Sturridge x1

Was wondering myself why Kalou didn't take the Pen to get his hattrick when it came about.

[leww_rfc]

Malouda 7-0

[leww_rfc]

And Full Time.

[Chaney]

ok lets wait for the inevitable mind games from Fergy "Liverpool will lay down, Liverpool won`t want to hand the title to Utd ect ect ect"

[Messiah]

Oh Stoke.

Liverpool play key roLOLe in this now. Personally would rather United won the league at Chelsea's expense, but equal lolz at United if Liverpool get thumped and the obvious "they rolled over".

[soggy biscuit]

Utd will take 6 points, I think it is all down to Chelsea against Liverpool.

Considering the healthy league position Chelsea were in a couple of weeks back after Utd faltered it would be a f*ck up of epic proportions if they didn't go on to do the double

[The whole year inn]

Agreed with Soggy, away to a team managed by Steve Bruce, mmmmm. Then Stoke at home. 6 points

Do Liverpool want United to get their titles record though? Prolly better for the scousers if Chelsea win it

I think 'epic proportions' is a little over exagerated.

Well considering you are playing a financially stricken club who are bottom of the Premier League by some distance and also considering you beat United and then they dropped 2 points a week later, I think 'epic proportions' is not an exaggeration.

BurnLOLey lose 4-0 and are relegated.

Yep, bad luck and f*ck off - undeservedly promoted in the first place, they will be back to their sub 10,000 crowds again next season, devoid of the chopsy c*nts who were mouthing off at RFC-shirt wearing kids after the play-off semi last season.

[leww_rfc]

Watching MOTD2, (Everton vs Fulham) anyone know why Shorey's getting booed?

[Messiah]

Because he's been shit ever since he got all starry eyed playing for England, and hasn't been half as commited since.

Forest loved him, Villa felt he was a flop, and seems Fulham too.

They are better than Hull and Burnley without a shadow of a doubt.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Good pen from Milner

Vile 1-0 up vs Blues

Bad decision from the ref.

tbf I can't see any ref NOT giving that pen.

Slightest touch on the ball that didnt change its direction. Tough call

lol at Brum going spastic at the ref like hed made the most decision ever. Like you say, just about every ref would have given that. Even though he got a slight touch, i agree with O'Neill its still technically a foul. and McLOLeish telling the ref to fck off right in his face on Camera. Lenghty bans for Johnson his manager please, who seems to have a short memory when it comes to late 1-0 wins with the help of 'dodgy' decisions.

[soggy biscuit]

Additional LOLz @ Larsson for shouting f**ing b**tard at the ref while the camera focussed on him at the end of the game

[1960]

Did nobody (especially the MoTD commentators and pundits) see the foul? Yes, he touched the ball but the Villa player still had it in front of him when his legs were taken out. Also, touching the ball is irrelevant - scything a player down from behind is relevant.

[TFF]

It was perfectly good tackle. He took the ball. Understandable decision all the same.

Kalou's two-footed studs up assault on Sorenson seemed to slip under the MoTD2 radar though.

[Silver Fox]

LOLz at "scything a player down" that was a perfectly good, excellently timed tackle and the birmingham players had every right to get the arsehole with the ref

Torn on the Kalou tackle, at the time I thought it was naughty but only if he really connected, the more they showed it the worse it got

[papereyes]

I'm not sure that clipping the ball means that its OK for the player to go through, given that the ball was still pretty much playable by Agbonlahor afterwards.
Setting the "if it happened against 'Ding" criteria, I'd probably take it on the chin. At pace, in real time, I'd have probably gone with the foul.

Kalou's tackle was naughty because it was a pretty uncontrolled, two footed lunge. Even if Sorensen hadn't have been injured, it would still have been reckless.
