Apparently "bi.tch" = "naughty woman"

Only a galaxy-class boot-licker(apologies Carlito) would compare Rio's INTENTIONAL bitch-slap to Gallas' challenge which was clearly ACCIDENTAL.

Manliness Advocaat
so i guess "p.ssy cat" = 'womanliness cat'

seriously, the adminstrators need to take a long look at themselves. Even the word "nake-d" = 'unclothed', shocking!

Nateevs
your imminent failure to quote my 'doom & gloom' predictions is damning evidence u are planet earth's most renowned boot-licker(Gary comes a close 2nd)

Toure's last ditch tackles did make him look a better defender than he actually was. . . This is the only accurate assessment Ibime has made since the recession!

P.S. I find it absolutely ridiculous that Chelsea keep getting lower league teams in domestic cups. When you look at the teams Liverpool, Arsenal and United draw in comparison, its quite shocking.

Sauron is finally back from Colchester. . . or is it Cabinda?

Lampard ruled out for the rest of the season!!!

Nateevs is telling us RVP is the only unavailable player that can make Arsenal stronger. . . . . Wait a minute, is nateevs not the same gorilla that was telling me how Arsenal had "no chance of competing for the league" at the start of the season?
the negro makes 9 comments about arsenal and 99 of them are false!

Francesc Fabregas. . . what a player. . . what a player. . . i mean. . . . [size=16pt]WHAT A PLAYER!!!!!![/size]

The scene is set for an intriguing game as an underachieving Liverpool entertain high-flying Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night. With neither side successful in their last league outing, four points separate the fourth-placed Lilywhites from the seventh-placed Reds.

Although the spotlight will be firmly focused on the hosts, Harry Redknapp’s men will view this match as an opportunity to put some daylight between themselves and their opponents. A victory will reaffirm the opinion that they are serious contenders for the much sought after Champions League place.

Liverpool will at least be hoping not to lose and to regain some pride after last weeks’ shocking result, and performance to match, against Championship strugglers Reading. All is not well within the halls of Anfield - Ryan Babel Twittering his way into trouble, and rumours of bust-ups between Steven Gerrard and Rafael Benitez rife. A result against Tottenham may just help to ease some of the worries harboured by the Kop faithful.

The omens look good for the home side as Redknapp looks to break a duck that has seen him walk away from Anfield without a single victory. Spurs have failed to beat Liverpool in any competition since 1998. However, the Londoners’ away form is respectable as they remain undefeated in their last four away games. They were also victorious against their hosts in a 2-1 win at White Hart Lane on the season’s opening weekend.

TEAM NEWS

Liverpool

The onus is on the Liverpool frontline to fill the boots of attacking absentees Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun. Nabil El Zhar and youngster Martin Kelly are still sidelined with ankle injuries along with England international Glen Johnson, who will miss out due to a knee injury.

The much-maligned Ryan Babel should return to the squad after being left out of the trip to the Britannia Stadium at the weekend. Alberto Aquilani, Albert Riera and new signing Maxi Rodriguez will be pushing for a first-team berth. 

Starting XI (vs Stoke City): Reina; Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Insua; Degen, Lucas, Mascherano, Aurelio; Kuyt, Ngog.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs will be without the services of Aaron Lennon, Jonathan Woodgate and Alan Hutton, who are all suffering from groin complaints. Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Carlo Cudicini are also unavailable with hip and wrist injuries respectively. Meanwhile, Tom Huddlestone and Ledley King remain doubtful.

Jamie O’Hara is an option for gaffer Redknapp after returning from a successful loan spell at Portsmouth. Peter Crouch may start alongside Jermaine Defoe to face his former employers.

Starting XI (vs Hull City): Gomes; Corluka, Dawson, Bassong, Bale; Modric, Huddlestone, Palacios, Kranjcar; Defoe, Keane.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Liverpool

Maxi Rodriguez could make his full debut for Liverpool after signing from Athletico Madrid on a free transfer. The Argentine international will be looking to provide some much-needed attacking zest having scored eight times in 24 appearances for Los Colchoneros this term.

The £20 million Alberto Aquilani is yet to set the Premier League alight and the pressure is mounting on the Italian to justify his hefty price-tag. With Steven Gerrard absent, there is a desperate need for Aquilani to recapture some of the form he displayed during his Roma days.
 
Tottenham Hotspur

Luka Modric, the Croat conjurer, has successfully reclaimed his first-team place in the Tottenham side after recovering from a broken leg. He will be called upon to add attacking guile to a side that have failed to net in two of their last three league games.

Two former Liverpool players return to Anfield in the forms of Robbie Keane and most notably Peter Crouch. The bean-pole striker is poised to make his 300th club start in a career that saw him net 42 goals in 134 games for the Merseysiders. His aerial threat will be a constant thorn in a shaky Liverpool rearguard.

PREDICTION

A victory for either side will give a huge psychological boost in the race for fourth place. Spurs have a poor record at Anfield - they have not won there in the league since 1993 - but with more tried and tested attacking options than their hosts, the goal threat possessed by Redknapp’s men cannot be overlooked.

Liverpool at home by no means guarantees a victory these days, as Reading’s success in the FA Cup clearly demonstrates. The absence of the triumvirate that is Torres, Gerrard and Benayoun will be significant, but with home support, the Reds may have just enough to eke out a goal from somewhere. Both sides will desperate to win, or at least not to lose. Thus, this has all the makings of a draw.   

Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Cris/Scousers, you owe me a drink   

United lost the game the minute Bellamy moved wide left. . .

Tkb how market?

How the phuck did we manage a clean sheet!? Some of the defending was comical. . . It's easy to blame traore but to be fair to him he was isolated 99% of the time. A better team would have put 9 past Almunia today

Cesc was immense. . . no surprise there.
Almunia showed some great handling after that early mistake.
Eduardo, well no goal but two assists.
Eastmond gave the ball away cheaply far too often. . . CAMEROON MUST LOSE!!

Ibime
hahaha, malouda wasnt the one marking the right back, lampard was the one supporting cashley when possession was lost. Because of the tremendous width cashley provides on the left, CA could afford to go with one winger(joe cole) on the right. Ballack, Lampard, Belletti & Malouda all played central.
Stop listening to radio commentary and try actually watching games

Cristalz
how market?

Ibime
chelsea didnt play 4-3-3, olodo!

Belletti-DM
Malouda,Lampard,Ballack-CM
J.Cole-AM(always drifted right)
Anelka-CF

much closer to a 4-5-1/4-4-1-1

What is going on here?

Ibime
you possess the intelligence of a beaver-tailed cockroach!
Strength has nothing to do with marathon running. . .
Stamina has little to do with weigth lifting. . .
Strength, stamina, and the other things i listed play a BIG ROLE in football, so they ARE part of the "components" of "fitness in football", as you put it, DUNCE!!

Anyone who cant understand this definitely isnt worth my time. . . APE!!

this thread is now due for locking. . . . Until Lampard improves or Gerrard DIES, it should never be posted in again

Ibime
I see you modified ur post. Center of gravity has more to do with BALANCE than strength, COW! How strong is Messi?
At this point, your credibility has a very big question mark over it

Ibime
there is no such thing as "fitness in football", FITNESS IS FITNESS. Its a PHYSICAL thing. Only TECHNICAL attributes are tied to a sport i.e shooting, passing, dribbling vary from sport to sport. EEDEEYOT! Soon you will tell me "height in football", "weight in football", "pace in football". . . They are all PHYSICAL, they do not vary, DUNCE!

Even though some of ur ratings are inaccurate(brambles stamina @ 3 is shocking), why cant Bramble be fitter than Arshavin? The same Arshavin whose ability to play twice a week in a league as physical as the EPL Wenger questioned?

Strength is not necessarily tied to weight, FOOL! How much does crouch weigh? How strong is he?
Gerrard is stronger than lampard, you can take that to Yar'Adua's funeral, GOAT!

Ibime
i have already given you "my" definition of fitness. It's a combination of physical attributes such as stamina, strength, balance, agility, jumping. Let me score them off the top of my head on a scale of 1-10.
Lampard:
stamina - 9
strength - 5
balance - 6
agility - 4
jumping - 3

Gerrard:
stamina - 9
strength - 7
balance - 7
agility - 6
jumping - 5

Essien:
stamina - 9
strength - 9
balance - 8
agility - 7
jumping - 7

Essien:40
Gerrard:34
Lampard:27

and u are there typing rubbish. . . u put the DUN in DUNCE!

Lampard doesnt hold shyte for England, Barry does. Because he's done it a few times you are telling me he "holds for gerrard since xxxx", u are a disgrace! At least u agree gerrard used to hold for lampard pre Barry.

IS MASCHERANO A HOLDING MIDFIELDER?!

No2 Atheism
are you butt-o-phobic?

As for Alonso, he was a liverpool player when they FINISHED 5TH!! Almost 40 points(the number they say guarantees surviving relegation) behind the league leaders!
U might as well blame Arbeloa's departure for their slump!

Jalether
ibime & sauron aka dumb & dumber dont have a clue!

Cris
as usual you've decided to single me out, but HEY! I'm used to it. No one takes offense. . . What offends me is sauron saying mascherano is not a holding midfielder and his boyfriend ibime refuses to tell him he's wrong so he doesnt hurt his feelings

ibime
u are a military grade coward. Answer my questions or lose the little credibility you have
A. Is Mascherano a holding midfielder?
B. When gerrard & lampard used to play together without Barry, who held his POSITION for the other to venture forward?
C. Is lampard a better player than iniesta?
D. How do you define a FIT person(i'll give u permission to consult a dictionary for this).
E. After properly understanding the term, do you still say lampard is FITTER than essien?
F. Have you started writing that apology?

P.S. If lampard was dropped for "protection" or due to injury as you claim, WHY THE FUKC WAS HE SITTING ON THE BENCH AND GIVEN THE NUMBER 15 SHIRT?!

Liverpool are out of the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Premier League title race mid-january. . . SHOCKING!

Hahaha, who let dumb & dumber loose? There are no prizes for guessing who Dumber is!

ibime
b4 i address ur latest piece of rubbish, answer this question so sauron can STFU: can Mascherano be called a holding midfielder? YES OR NO

Ibime
u are a sodding ignoramus. Why single out strength? If u dont even know what it means for a person to be FIT, you should tender a written apology to ur old man for wasting his hard earned money sending u to school.

P.S. Is Mascherano a holding midfielder?

Sauron
so Makelele is the ONLY holding midfielder. . . Nairalanders are laughing at you while eating pop corn and sippin soda

Essien is a fitter player/human being/living organism than lampard. Fitness is a combination of physical attributes such as strength, balance, stamina, jumping, running etc, not playing 1234567890 games in a row. DUNCE!

Ibime
lampard WAS dropped. . . And he was given the number 15 shirt. He wasnt "dropped for gerrard", how can that be when gerrard was still in the side. He was dropped for Barry. . .
He wasnt dropped for protection. He was dropped cos he was SH.T! U cited one game gerrard played badly for england, well lampard is ALWAYS SH.T in black & white/red!
At the world cup, he couldnt manage a single shot on target despite having over 30 attempts, SHAME!
Gerrard plays far better for England than lampard. Only a Frank-a-pologist like yourself would dispute this!

Sauron
so Mascherano, Vieira and Keane cant be called holding midfielders? Your idiocy is legendary!

Lampard averages more appearances than essien. Is lampard a fitter player than Essien? Sauron you are embarrassing urself!

Sauron
gerrard is more athletic than lampard. It's very normal for the more athletic player to be fitter, especially when the latter is called FAT Frank . Fitness is not just about making a million appearances in a row. Friedel hasnt missed a game since God said "let there be light". Are u telling me he is fitter than Alex Song? You are a disgrace!
Alonso is a holding midfielder/deep lying play maker. U dont expect gerrard(CM/AM/SS/Winger) to replace him, EEDEEYOT!!



Look at this buffoon called ibime trying to son me. . . do i look like nateevs?
I actually WATCH games. . . U only seem to listen to commentary, by your own admission on match threads. Do you own a TV?
you are clutching at straws, bringing up irrelevant sh.t like the number 8 shirt. In any case, i remember lampard wearing the NUMBER 15 SHIRT and sitting on England's BENCH for some games not so long ago. A fit gerrard can never wear number 15 or sit on the bench. . . NEVER!!

Oh. . . . so the writer is biased despite the fact that he picked Gerrard.

YOU are the one who said his decision is "political". . . you cant have it both ways, son!

A. Gerrard is a better passer than lampard, LONG OR SHORT!
B. He is more creative. lampard also had more assists and "key passes" than cesc according to ur rubbish stats. Is lampard more creative than cesc as well? I'm having a 5 minute laugh.
C. He has better TECHNIQUE, do i really need to explain what that means?
D. Neither of them are great dribblers but gerrard is a better dribbler than lampard, FACT!
E. He brings his team mates into the game better than lampard. Lampard as a CM should be dictating play, instead he waits for others to bring him into the game, DISGRACE!
F. He has better stamina than lampard. . . Frank has fooled the whole world to believe he has great stamina by strolling through 90 minutes without breaking sweat. Gerrard EXERTS 99 times more energy than lampard, FACT!
G. He defends better than lampard. who would you fancy to stop an opposing player 1 be 1? . . . . . I thunk as much!!
H. Theres nothing 'emotional' about what i spit. Gerrard's presence/influence is far greater than lampard aka mr anonymous.
You can also add gerrard's superior upper body strength to the list and then realise THERE IS NO BASIS FOR COMPARISON. . . Gerrard is twice the player lampard is, AT LEAST!

And for the last time, STATS DONT MEAN SHYTE! Produce iniesta's stats in ANY GIVEN SEASON and it will pale in comparison to lampard's. Yet, a scientifically enhanced lampard is still inferior to a lobotomised iniesta

Sauron
since gerrard established himself in liverpool's XI, he averages like 34 league games per season, and u are telling me he is "hardly fit". . . Ur IQ is at par with that of a traumatised leech

Gerrard is versatile, its normal for him to play different positions. It has nothing to do with tactical indischpline. Iniesta also plays wide for spain(and barca at times), is he positionally indisciplined as well? It's called VERSATILITY, something lampard will never have.

Ibime
i can also argue the writer was biased towards lampard since he told us what lampard does better and failed to highlight what gerrard does better, which are a million times more. Let me remind you:

gerrard has better range in his passing than lampard.
He is more creative than lampard.
His technique striking the ball, be it from range, on the half-volley, volley, ground, underwater, MURDERS lampard's(and just about every other player on earth), in cold blood
he is far more athletic than lampard, thats why he jumps and heads the ball far better.
He's more technically astute.
He dribbles better, lampard cant get past a scare crow.
He's much quicker.
He dictates play far better, bringing others into the game.
He's FITTER and more energetic, irrespective of what ur rubbish stats tell you.
He defends better(when asked to) than lampard.
He crosses the ball better, and takes better corners.
He hits a far better dead ball than lampard, who 99.99% of his set pieces either clatter the wall or fly into row Z.
He curls the ball better.
His presence on the field alone makes lampard look invisible.

I can go on and on. . . The only thing lampard does better than gerrard is stroll around the field anonymously like a vulture.
Only a seasoned ignoramus would even attempt to compare the two players.

LAMPARD IS THE MOST OVER RATED PLAYER IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL!
