He'll go back to sucking soon.

The best thing Glen Johnson has ever done was get caught stealing toilet seats from B&Q.

Best thing Glen Johnson has done is that he's got away with playing for England's first eleven.

Gerrard back in the side tonight - so much for being rested.

Rooney's injured so hoping James Wilson bags few goals and Falcao gets off the bench to nab one, should have done so vs. Hull

Leeds' Adryan... what on earth

That was a more pleasing Liverpool performance. Lallana should be starting week in week out for me, top quality skill and his chemistry with Lambert is brilliant. After rightly being dropped for the Stoke game I didn't think it was all that necessary to bring Gerrard right back to be honest but you've got to give him credit on having a top game despite the scrutiny he's under. The defence is still suspect though, every last one of them is dodgy and has a mistake in them - I'm sorry but Kolo Toure should not be the best defender in the team, he just shouldn't.

Better though!

Benteke is probably the most underrated striker in the league. 30 goals in 60 games for a shitty team who manage 30% possession at best in games. Since August 2012, he's only a couple of Premier League goals behind Wayne Rooney and Lukaku - despite missing 15 games through injury and another 3 by suspension. That's pretty remarkable.

He's young, strong, quick, and can win games on his own. He'd be incredible at a team like Arsenal.

Like 3 minutes into the Newcastle vs Chelsea match the "Steve Gerrard Gerrard, he slipped on his fucking arse" chant pipes up. I've heard it all around the grounds, I even heard it during the Saints vs Hull game earlier this season. I can understand why Chelsea, United or Everton fans sing it but I'm not sure why it's taken off the way it has, football fans just love to rag on Gerrard I guess.

There will only ever be one Invincibles.

Piers Morgan, after spending all morning laughing at and slagging off Chelsea, has had to watch his Arsenal side go behind after 18 seconds.

It's the little things.

There will only ever be one Invincibles.

It looks like that will be the case for a long time.

This year's Chelsea team are quite easily the best Premier League side I've seen since the 2008 Man United team, but far more defensively sound. They had the best chance to stay undefeated since Arsenal managed it, and have blown it against a team who were in dire straits not too long ago. They'll still win the title with ease though.

Are you fucking shitting me Arsenal?

Big Sam is GOAT!

Lovely day out at Valley Parade today, non-league sides are always potential banana skins but we battered Dartford comfortably and genuinely could (and should) have scored 9 or 10. Do love the FA Cup though and I'm excited that we've made it into the third round for what I think is only the second time in the last decade.

Obviously I'm crossing my fingers for either a Blyth/Dover type or a Liverpool/United type but the horrible reality is we'll likely get a fellow League 1 team or a team like Watford/Charlton who'll likely handle us comfortably and that'll be our cup run done and dusted without a wimper.

Villa or Bolton would be nice too for obvious reasons.

Leicester fans are moaning about this on Twitter: http://gfycat.com/ElatedTenseBellsnake

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that challenge.

I was hoping for revenge against you lot, but instead we have a thrilling tie with Blackpool.

At least you should handle them comfortably!
