Blackburn 2-3 Liverpool

So good we don't even need a keeper, saying that I heard Grobbelaar's got the nod for the semi..

What do you make of the latest ruling re: refs??

I had a feeling the Derry red card would not be rescinded, as that would have made Utd's goal look dodgy and we cant be having that....

As for Balotelli, how long before he breaks someone's leg? The FA/EPL, are corrupt and as bad as Blatters cartel.

Congrats Mark,you had players all over the leader board for the whole 4 days nearly.Louis's 2nd place got it for you in the end.See ye at the British Open boys where i look forward to knocking Mark off his fucking perch ;)

Interesting stat from the weekend which i heard with a few holes to go.Westwood took 21 more putts than Mickleson over the 4 days and they ended up with the same score.New putting coach is in order Westy.

@Mark Very much enjoyed the coverage on BBC over the last 2 days.Watched the first 2 on Setanta and the breaks would drive you around the bend.Read on sports news section of one of our daily papers today that said on SKY the viewers had to listen to Monty relive his final walks up the 18th green about 10 times,lmao.I just immediately switch channel if i even hear the c*** in the background.I will actually say a prayer for the women in his life (if he is married) as God bless them is all i can say.What a donkey.

Great stuff mate, what a Masters! Watson deserved his win for this miracle shot alone but Louis is the man. The way he played all week, he looked as he if he were strolling his weekly medal and very gracious in defeat, top bloke. Bring on the Open!

Not the first time, won't be the last. :f_cry:

Though, in my defence, I couldn't possibly have known Ryo had obviously lost complete control of his faculties and was planning to get engaged after the tourney.

Edit: Just been looking at pictures of the ABs holding the Web Ellis Cup aloft to console me. What Masters?

Completely agree. I admit that I was barracking against Watson - a large part of me (and there's enough of me to make this a significant point) felt that a Southern dude named Bubba with the worst mullet in golf winning the Masters was a worst case outcome. Admittedly I hadn't paid much attention to the guy before (for those reasons LDO), but I can't remember ever seeing a whole raft of pros standing at the side of the green to heartly congratulate a winner, so he's obviously no Tige Wankleson.

FWIW both Bubba and I share the complete lack of formal coaching so he has me considering a comeback. How hard can it be?

As tempting as it is too say all is still not forgiven Andy Carroll but you are on the right road ;)

@ Chiefs watch: WHO'S NUMBER ONE?!

Looks like a good year to jump on the band wagon. :f_jizzinmypants:

Hey Waiboy,

I saw that, what a belting 15's so far! Going on the form of NZ youngsters alone, the Irish could be in a for a very interesting tour...

Outside of the Test series (which should be really interesting for all sorts of reasons), what will be interesting is the 3 week break in the Super Rugby comp in order to accommodate a test window. That will lead to a weird dynamic running into the playoffs... and for once I actually care what that might mean for my team!

Well, it's been 5 days since the semi so I'll pop my head up again! :rolleyes:

Great win for Chelsea again last night....not sure they will be able to hold out at the New Camp though!

Chelsea or Liverpool for the FA Cup now!??

For some reason, I'm not looking forward to meeting Mr Torres in the cup final.

That said, we've had a good record vs Chavski lately and I won't rule out the Cup Double!

Still a poor season though :(

Waiboy, have you seen this: EXCLUSIVE: Lancaster flies to South Africa for talks with Smith over role.

I know he turned down the role before, but do you think he'd change his mind (fingers crossed)?

I don't know....I'd rather face Torres than Drogba! Can see another cup on the horizon for the reds!

Yep, especially with the red hot Andy Carroll on fire, awesome sight in full flow, like a giant fat Ginola.

First I've heard. Outside of the disgrace of calling the Chiefs "Waikato" in the article*, my understanding is he's open to a role with England but prolly doesn't want to waste his time without a clear role and appropriate direction from the ERFU. 'Appropriate direction' in this case probably means the current board bricked up in a coal cellar somewhere, sans mobile phone coverage LDO. It wouldn't shock me if he took up the job, and I'd imagine his decision would be based on how little bullshit Lancaster speaks in their face off (John Woo slow mo's FTW). He just wants to coach players who want to play footy, and doesn't want to play politics.

It'd be a shame to lose him from the Chiefs, but I'd expect he'd return to NZ as he did after his last stint in the UK and hook right back in to the system.

*the team were the Waikato Chiefs back in 1996, but changed in early '00s to the Chiefs, given it's a team made up of several provinces - as are all the NZ Super Rugby franchises. Confusing the two is akin to calling the Lions rugby team England. FWIW the AAP (Aussie news service) still calls them the Waikato Chiefs, and they'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

PS In other news, my new under 7 rugby side, the Ferraris, are a team of beasts.

This is me for the full 90mins of every game.

This is why I don't play Fifa.

How many times have Liverpool hit the woodwork this season?

At least your boys have reignited my Man City title bet!
