Every season it’s the same. Managers and teams find new ways to cheat and prosper. Referees have little chance of trying to punish the cheats. It’s the fake injury this season.

And every season we win the league

Frustrating game to watch, partly due to sloppy passing in the first half but mainly due to the ref giving free reign to Villa, Martinez in particula, to waste huge amounts of time as well as nicking 10 - 15 from throw ins and free kicks. How the fuck only six minutes of injury time was played all game is beyond me. Five subs, two goals (it was around 90 seconds to restart after they scored) an injury to Cash which was three and half minutes alone plus the fake injury to Martinez. i reckon Martinez alone wasted around seven or eight minutes in just the second half. Weak ref who let them get away will all sorts. Sooner the game has two half’s of 35 minutes each with independent time keepers as they do in rugby the better and if a game takes two hours to finish then so be it. Pissed off with teams taking the puss and refs doing fuck all.

6 games played and that was the first disappointing result so nothing to worry about. Outplayed them for large periods and but for some missed chances we would’ve got the win. Nobody really stood out although Stonesy and Ruben were rock solid at the back. How that fuckin ref only added 4 mins in the 2nd half is a mystery.

Considering we can be quite slow starters, 14 points from 6 games is a decent haul. We’ll have a better idea where we’re at after we play our first proper opponents next weekend.

Didn’t we draw at home to Southampton around same time last season, drew at West Ham season before- start of CL always has an effect and these aren’t easy games anyway.

Pep and walker disasterclass, thankfully it's only spuds next week...

Yes, the Spuds that seem to beat us every time we play them.

Took Villa for granted and got punished but it still doesn't help Gerrardthat

Their players still seemed not too convinced with Gerrard
