He has been rubbish his season. I will be the first to admit that.

Sitting through dross on a weekly basis does not make you any better than a single person on this board in anyone's eyes but your own.

You're the odd man out.

Just my opinion but I thought moderators were supposed to 'moderate'? Not (in my opinion) if one is a Liverpool fan it would seem?

Yeah, it's okay to call someone an arrogant knobhead if a mod is around apparently if the mod is a) a Liverpool supporter and b) you misspell arrogant and capitalise knobhead like it's meant to be a name.

Never claimed to be.

It's only past reputation mate. Everyone knows it.

If you have a problem with any posts, you know where the report button is.

I am perfectly within my rights to participate in a discussion in a forum I do not moderate, and have not endorsed a single post where a personal attack has been made.

History makes a football club we dominate world football during a period. Count all the other teams in England how many clubs add up their European cups they still don't come to 5.

Arsenal big club haven't even won any. If you don't think lfc is a giant of not only English football but world football ur mistaken.

Which makes the choice very easy doesn't it?

If Arsenal doesn’t win the title this year (which they should have but they won’t), I truly would like Leicester to take it. That would be pretty cool in my eyes.

The question in my mind is whether Dicaprio would be a good choice for the lead role of Vardy without having a native British accent or should the producer go for someone who does? I think he did ok in Blood Diamond with the South African accent, no?

btw, is anyone here…. other than the Leicester and Liverpool supporters truly happy after this weekend after all was said and done? Or

[Pizzamorg]

I don't know what confused so many people in my post.

I find the entire Vardy Hollywood movie thing bizarre and I don't think I'll truly believe it until I see it.

Also, Leicester fans are having a party. A couple more wins and this season will be sealed. Is this Fifa or real life?

Not to mention an ISDT medal and a host of finisher pins on the wall. But I have to admit, when she orders me to take out the trash I don't dawdle.

I know who the boss of the house is.

Then you would think if it's men posting in here, there'd be more maturity. I guess not when it comes to "certain kinds" of supporters.

Love this thread. Whenever the small fry dare to pipe up the big boys are always so quick to cut 'em down to size. It's amazing the bravado that a last-gasp win can instil in people, isn't it? Oh, for the days of Suarez crying his eyes out on the Selhurst pitch...now the only tears are our own.

Just seen the pen, anyway. There was definite contact with Benteke but only Damien bloody Delaney could pull out of a challenge and still deliver the tinest tap with his trailing knee. Always amuses me how the biggest lads fall over so easily, Heskey was/is the same. I dunno what is is about that corner of the pitch, Spurs got awarded another dodgy penalty for a handball on Dean Moxey in our first game back in the Prem in 2013.

Me? Bitter against the unrelenting incompetence of the officials? Never.

[Pizzamorg]

Apparently video referees have been approved after years of tests. Unlikely to be in the top flight for many years yet, but I'd like to think that the days of big teams having an extra man in their corner are gonna be gone soon. Imagine how different our season might have been if that Arsenal game had video referees? We could be almost fifteen points clear by now!
