Just saw MOTD after being out of town this weekend so if they weren't comprehensive, apologies. Aresenal had like two or three decent chances the whole match (or so they showed), and the best one was after Atkinson inexplicably didn't whistle Arshavin for a clear foul on Kelly. Didn't seem like Liverpool created a whole lot either, but Suarez wasn't nearly as far offside as FTN is saying there. Maybe half a yard off, tough decision for the linesman.

Next three fixtures are tough for Liverpool. Home to Bolton, away to Stoke and Spurs. 6 or 7 points would be cool, 4 or 5 not terrible.

I'm super excited for tomorrow. Been waiting for too long for some Spurs football. I don't count that 5-0 warm-up against Hearts.

I'll be less excited when we take 2 points from our next 4(@ManU, City, @Wolves, Pool).

JH, you're correct in saying not much was created. One of the most boring matches I've seen from 2 top sides in the EPL. Le Arse better get some people back or bring some people in(Especially if Nasri is City bound), because they just can't create anything with what they have out there now. Ramsay just isn't ready to run the MF, Arshavin is as useless as he was the 2nd half of last year, and pingpongy needs another year or 2 to discipline himself.

Friedel and Livermore starting for Spurs. This could get interesting.

Not much in it as of HT. Cleverley had a good chance that Friedel made a pretty good save on. Overall, United have had the better of it, but not by much. They've had possession father up the pitch than Spurs.

Ye.

Fucking pathetic 2nd half. Kaboul and Dawson had no communication marking on crosses. Still wondering what the hell Lennon was doing. Also, shout out to Defoe for missing that volley.

Is Fabian Johnson really going to pick Germany over the US? He hasn't been capped by the senior team yet, but has played for the u19, u20 and u21s.

I'll tell ya what, I hope I don't have any emails when I wake up about having work to do tomorrow. Phils at 1 and then the Mighty Reds in Carling Cup action at 2:45, the same time Arsenal get underway in Italy.

Watching the UCL draw

Man City are in Pot 3
Dortmund are in Pot 4

Could get a truly epic group of death

Bad draw for Arsenal. Maybe not worse case scenario but definitely not easy. I don't know how a group could be any easier for Man U. and group A will be fun as 4 of the 5 major European leagues are represented.
