Seeing Sterling and Enrique mock our champions league exit on twitter makes our 2-0 win over them on their own turf much sweeter. Guess they are still bitter at the fact that we are likely to be the team that stopped them winning the league. And we done the double over them

The mods probably have you on ignore list. I won't get banned

No, he is available. Big bonus for us.

Your the clown. A halfwit I will say. Don't know who deleted my post but I won't repeat the name but I don't refer to you Bushman. I replace the first four letters with another. There is the clue But from your original point. You could not answer. Who was 'snivelling' at Mourinho playing this 'B' team. Like I said there is a difference between a weaker team and a 'B' team. I can understand people calling it our 'B' team but for you to use this as your point to say you were proven right is ridiculous. That was a good but weaker team. People who did not want to see this original 'B' team before the game would have been happy with the 'B' team lineup that Mourinho sent out. It is that simple. Comprende?

Well when you post just know apart from a few you might just be posting to a ghost

I am probably one of the only ones reading your posts because the others are bored sensless of your posts or probably got you on ignore. See you

You clearly have issues in understanding simple things. You made a snidy remark about people who were complaining about fielding a 'B' team. What people snivelled about was seeing an actual 'B' team out there. Meaning some of us did not want to see Ake, Christensen, MVG, Baker and Kalas to start on the same lineup. There is a difference. Think next time before making comments that are completely untrue. The majority of us would of been happy to see this so called 'B' team out there today.

You idiot. You were the one wanting a 'B' team out there. But Jose did not. It was a weaker team. The only 'B' team player in there or reserve player was Kalas. The rest were all good players and experienced. I am pleased he lined up like that. Now if you played the likes of Baker, Ake, Christensen and MVG that is a 'B' team. There is a difference. And was it not you calling the game meaningless? It clearly meant something as Jose chose a good team out there and we are back in the race although unlikely to win it.

Just look at the bitterness https://twitter.com/RAWK_Meltdown

Once again your reply shows how shit your atittude is. I just think it is your personality. Rather than having a debate you make your silly comments where you try to belittle other people's opinion. No wonder so much people have you on ignore list. Don't know what makes you think you are king but you certainly don't know how to talk to people if they disagree with you. A leopard can't change its spots. I will apply the same phrase to you.

Truth hurts doesnt it and btw I call it 'maths'. Well when many members of the forum has maybe you should reflect on your attitude. It stinks and you have the nerve to tell other people to don't insult you. Do one you lunatic. I see your point but Atletico are going to have to put two similar teams out against Valencia and Chelsea. We can rotate some but putting these youth players in defence I am not sure about. But I would rather we put our best into both. The CL is definitely more realistic but you know beating Liverpool and being only 2 points behind I will believe in both. I don't think we will win the league but I will hate the thought of Liverpool virtually winning the league against us. I don't really mind what midfield and attack he puts out as I am sure it will pose Liverpool a threat but only in defence I am worried about. Might be a risk but I would rather he played an experienced defence for pride sake and with the hope of winning the game. Can see both points of view but I would rather if we have to only play one out of Kalas, Ake and Christensen.

Yeah, it was clear who the hypocrite was. Like I said, idiot

If you use your brain maybe you would realise that if you want be be treated a certain way then you should treat other people the same way. Don't talk to me like that: "you are not very good in your math". I find that rather rude. If you find that is a decent way of speaking to people in life I feel sorry for you then. I have noticed it with a lot of people on this forum. You seem to try and belittle them when you talk. So like I said treat people the way you wish to be treated. Comprende?

Well bushman or 'dumbman' as I will refer to you as we still have a chance. I would rather us challenge for the league then throw it away. Like I said the PL has shown anything is possible. What if we do win that game then go on to win the league. Or perhaps lose the game then see Liverpool and City drop points. We would regret playing a weakened team. I think it is possible that City drop points. Less possible than Liverpool however I still think they go to to go to Palace at 8pm on Monday night iirc. By that time they may be 2nd or 3rd if things go our way. Pressure hopefully will get to them. I think you are the one who needs more maths lessons. If we have a chance of winning it that is mathmetically possible. Regardless of whether we have to rely on other teams it is mathemtically possible. Idiot. Palace has proved to be difficult for many teams. City were outsocring most teams before. Now would you have predicted them to batter Sunderland? I would of but no. A team who was last in the league nearly got 3 points there. Until the last day anything is possible. I will always keep believing.

We win and we are in the title race. Maybe out of our hands but it is possible. How is it meaningless from our point of view? We win, the pressure is on City and Liverpool who have tough fixtures remaining.

It is not meaningless. It may seem unrealistic but would you have predicted City to drop points against Sunderland? I don't think so. They have a dfficult game against Palace without Toure and possibly Silva. They can drop points there and at Everton. Opens the gateway for us. Now if we beat Liverpool 2 points behind and they have to go to Palace and from what I have seen Liverpool struggle against Palace. They certaintly will not find it easy to go to Selhurst Park and win. We should not give up. While we are in we are in it. I doubt we will do it but there is a chance and knowing the PL anything can prove possible until the final game.

Judging by the comments I think he is a mixture of both. Set peice specialist and open play specialist. Xavi desrcibed Koke has having similar abilities to him. Villa complimented his all round game as well and judging by what I have read many of Atletico's goals from open play has been assisted by Koke in open play. Averages itself out I think but have not watched him close enough tbh to know how technical and creative a player he is. But I guess you have a point in the fact that many of his assists are crosses due to Atletico's quick counter attacking style and his ability to transform excellently from defence to attack.

I don't support the idea of Liverpool getting into double figures. While the league may look unrealistic it is still possible if we win. Had it even been a game where there was literally nothing to play for I would still like to see a good/experienced team out for prides sake.

TBH, he pretty much has everything. He is leading the assist charts in La Liga with 13 which is damn impressive but on top of that is pretty much an all round player and has created a lot of chances in the CL despite doing a lot of defensive responsibilties. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11946/9277493/why-atletico-madrid-midfielder-koke-could-be-a-key-man-for-diego-simeones-side-against-chelsea

I am not his biggest fan but please don't tell me people are giving him slack for his performance against Atletico? We set up utterly defensive and did not do much to win the game and when we did actually go forward he was the only one who looked dangerous. Won us a couple free kicks IIRC with his decent runs. The attacking support or team set up would be difficult for any striker in our team for that game to standout but he done better than I expected rather than looking like a complete ghost. Got to give credit when it is deserved. You would not stop hearing about it from some people had Costa had put in a similar performance in our utterly defensive set up.

Good draw but still frustrated about the lack of attempt to win the game. They made more than double the passes we did and while we got a draw a scoreless draw would have been better. If they score first at the Bridge we need 2 goals which will be a tough ask against one of the toughest teams to break down in Europe. Game is in the balance for both teams but while we aimed for a positive result tonight it would be nice if we done a bit more to win the game. They have an excellent defensive record but there is no reason to suggest we could not score tonight. But defence was excellent tonight. I will give my MOTM to Cole who was excellent, regarding he has not played a game for ages. Fantastic game tonight!

I have given my explanations in the previous posts. I am not disagreeing that we have had decisions against us for sure but there have been games where the ref has let us off the hook. Ultimately our team has not been good enough to win these type of games.

That is not the reason we lost. Did you not forget Ramires should have been sent off. That was the most obvious call he could have made but he did not. Blaming the ref is just not accepting responsibilites for our loss.

Some decisions did not go our way in the match and same with Sunderland but this is going OTT with this conspiracy stuff for Liverpool to win the league. Remember when we played Liverpool at the Bridge earlier in the season. Eto'o should have been sent off. One for a studs up challenge on Henderson IIRC and made a blatant foul on Suarez in the penalty box which Webb ignored. We were very lucky as Eto'o made 2 clumsy challenges which he got away with. When we drew with WBA earlier this season it was a clear dive from Ramires to win get the penalty. Had that not of been given we would have lost 2-1 at home. The ref saved our ass that game. Had their really been an agenda for Liverpool to win the league, the ref would not have sent off Chico for his challenge last week but he did Decisions that don't go our way happens but decisions that go our way which have been fortunate have also happened. It is 50/50 really. We only have ourselves to blame.
