Nice work!

Are you on any of those pics?

[little dave hedgehog]

no, i took them. i was being jostled and didn't want to stand around taking more. i got there with 20 minutes to spare and didn't get my first drink in until about 30 minutes in. i was there nearly three hours, had two drinks and spent the entire time (aside from when i was happily sipping my drinks) trying to get drinks

should note those were taken well before kick off and it got quite a bit more crowded.

How many reds fans were watching the game and does that bar normally televised all L4 games?

that room is the home of chicago lfc. so yes. and i wish you could see the video. i had intended to have breakfast there but there was no room to eat. it was eventually standing room only. the arse fans were all in the front room. sulking for most of the morning

So in other words you were drinkin' on an empty stomach. No wonder you only had a couple

i would have had more if i could have gotten the bar tender's attention more often.

[Mostar]

No worries mate. I only had few myself. The second half was so intense I did not feel like drinking and we did not win so I had no real reason to celebrate.

yeah i sorta wanted to stay alert and really watch the match and enjoy. plus there was a 1pm pub match for the lfc team.

when lucas was about to come on, someone started singing "ummm...lucas' song...lucas' song..."

gj had a throw in the first half and you could see lucas warming up and someone shouted "siddown, lucas!"

it was the same guy.

it may or may not have been me

then i went and bought a new football and some kit. watched the lfc pub team (which i then joined, confident that it is at or beneath my level).

brought it home and the cat is now trying to play.

great day.

I thought Cole got sent off because the tackle was on an Arsenal player rather than because it was a terrible tackle, Wenger moans for years about tackles on his players and the Arsenal players reactions got Cole sent off. For what it's worth if Cole made that tackle home to say Birmingham on his debut it's a yellow all day long.

Also not sure what difference there was between that and Whilshere's tackle on Mascherano.

Personally I thought it was a typical 'Rafa' team performance, tight and compact out of possession, Ngog doing far better than everyone gives him credit for and today he scored as a massive bonus, he also had the header off the line in the 1st half.

Totally agree. If Cole's challenge had been in the middle of the park, instead of right in front of the arsenal fans, he wouldnt have gone. Their crowd pretty much made the decision.

All you need to know about Wengers thoughts on the tackle was as per usual when it's something he doesn't agree with "he didn't see it" honestly he must have the worst vision in football!
