[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

It's true. He has.

Nearly had another that would have been a goal of the season contender. Off the bar.
Should have had a pen too.
He's playing pretty well today.

He scored one in December, too.

Liverpool could have half a dozen here instead of the one they do.

Borini does the hard work in a one on one then misses the goal admittedly from a tight angle.

Take Gerrard out of this side, and the rest of Liverpool's starting XI have an average age of 23. And that's with Lucas (28) starting today instead of Sterling (20).

If only Alan Hansen were still on MOTD to give us his views on sides with too many young players.

Bridcut's off. Clipped Can's heels, 2nd yellow. Looked accidental.

There's a difference between having young players, and having good young players.

Is this the w/e football thread?

Sunderland have been victim to two of the softest yellows I've ever seen today. Unfortunately the second has seen Bridcutt sent off...

I don't know. He was unlucky, but if the ref thinks it's foul, it's always going to be a booking.

Everton - Man City might get called off because of the wnid, it's reported. It certainly is blowing a bloody gale up here, has been all morning.

I think it's high time that Sunderland reached for the beach ball.

Thought Andy Reid left them years ago?

(Yes! Fat jokes! A new low for me!)

Ho ho.

Meanwhile, Balotelli has just fallen on his arse while attempting a run through on goal. Can he possibly make it through the entire league season without scoring?

Liverpool have still yet to draw away from home this season. That's now 5-0-5. I always find it a quirk of 3 points for a win that if they had a record, of, say, 3-5-2, which instinctively looks better on paper, they'd actually have fewer points.

I haven't a clue who's playing for us now...

Griffin Park is rammed, and some of us had to pay the full price...

Hmmm, we appear to be all-white in more than once sense.

According to both Merson on SSN and the Guardian's website, Newcastle are completely outplaying Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with four shots on target and five off. Chelsea have managed one shot and it was off target.

[Borracho]

So of course Chelsea duly score with their first shot on target.

You should respect that level of Man U - like efficiency.

[Gangster Octopus]

Nob cheese. But it was probably coming.

Man City throw away yet another lead to slip two points behind.

Leicester should have scored a hatful, win 1-0 against Villa. The shine taken off by a deserved red card for a nasty challenge by Matt James late on. Villa fans sang "We want Lambert out" when he introduced Kieran Richardson from the bench.
