Liverpool are a joke, tried to tell you all in January. Rodgers is a pretender, helped by having the exceptionally talented racist and no other comps to worry about. Spent £100 million to strengthen and ballsed it up. The kings of cringe are back off their perch.
I thought the Hull defender blocked off Cahill's run by closing down the available space and the only options available to Cahill were to run straight into the defender or go down.
Thought the ref actually got that call right.
The decision will have also been influenced by the fact he was lenient towards Myler who was already on a booking and then barged into the back of an attacking player and then threw a tantrum over it. Having been lenient with Myler he again gave the benefit of the doubt to Cahill.
The booking for Costa was an absolute travesty. A clear foul on Costa where the Hull player either caught him on the shin or pretended he was going to catch him on the shin and just pulled out.
The booking for Willian was also wrong IMO. Willian had beaten the defender, the defender just planted his foot to trip him, Willian had nowhere to go so went over rather than running into him and risking injury for both players.
I know that during the match there was a huge whine from West Ham about the pen Sunderland got. But IMO there was a clear shove in the back from the West Ham defender which is a foul. I don't think it was enough to push him over, but if you give an attacker a shove in the back in the penalty area then you're asking for a pen to be given. The simple option for defenders is to stop shoving players in the back, but that's too much like hard work for defenders, isn't it?

When they'd reached their 4th match without a win there was a lot of talk of Citeh fans boycotting the CL because it was so bent. They'll have STFU with them winning their last two games.
And with today's draw they'll be quickly back to talk of boycotting it again.

United's current winning streak should be a great encouragement for everybody else in the league - If a side as poor as United can string 6 wins together, then anybody can.
If Liverpool had any sort of striker, they would have battered United - I don't know about Van Gaal being a top coach, but he definitely has his fair share of good fortune. I can't recall any side which has made it to third in the league, while consistently being second best in most of the games they play, as much as United have this season.
I have to say DeGea is turning into a truly top class keeper though - He will certainly fetch United some decent cash when Madrid sign him in the summer.
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....
Sky football coverage is getting to be unwatchable at the moment. Why have so many former Liverpool players all the time? Redknapp was an embarassment in the City/Everton game and just as bad tonight. The draw was a farce as well, Redknapp being as careful as he could be with the cube and getting an obvious look of distain from Souness when he pulled Chelsea out of the bag. Poor Jamie looked like he wanted to put it back in. They need to get rid of the LFC bias in the media. Hansen was okay, Redknapp presents well but when it comes to analysis he's one eyed and as bad as Phil Clarke. What on earth does Jamie Carragher add to Sky coverage bar a horrific accent? He's thick, speaks poorly and offers nothing. Even his obvious hatred of Gary Neville is becoming boring now.

I just saw that clip of the draw, absolutely hilarious. It's alright though, regarding the coverage, they'll have Thierry Henry next season to mix it up, leaving us just one short of a ''Big 4'' full-house... With the amount of disdain that they show for 'ordinary' clubs, Sky will pretty much be pushing for a break-away league in a few years, where the ''big 4' + Man City will play each other every week, and the rest can get f**ked.

yeah, we're third through sheer luck. Refreshing to see we're not great anymore yet the bitterness and jealousy still pours from some.
