[Fiasco]

Criminal indeed. Everyone's been overlooking it. Probably cos he only scored one.

The Sunderland goal was very nice though.

Shut up, I'm tired

[Crosby Nick]

Cowtinhio!

COWTINHO!

Bastards!

Did Cowtown Red take a holiday to Rio 21 years ago?

[Oddball]

Much better strike from Van Persie though.
Carroll's was sort of hooked in.

Its all opinions...and yours is wrong

[Armand9]

it was dion dublin who picked that defoe goal as better than suarez against newcastle. laughable

I just came on here to ask what fucking clown didn't pick Suarez for goal of the month. That one choice right there shows you why that idiot shouldn't be doing punditry. Twat. Only RVP's volley's comes in the same bracket of quality as the newcastle goal - and still, red-tinted glasses aside, I think Suarez is the better goal but RVP's is fantastic and easily the best of the ones shown.

Interestingly, Wrigthty was on Sunday Goals (or whatever it's called) waxing lyrical about Suarez over the season (appeared to be his player of the season) - and raved about that goal, the technical difficulty, calling it unbelievable.

MOTD outdo themselves again.

[Tombellylfc]

Duckface and De Gea, wtf!?

De Gea is in deservedly so in my opinion

[thelinnen]

The look on Lukaku's face when he got that hat trick 

[Armand9]

Team of the season wise, two obvious ones for me. Cech clearly the best keeper, altho DeGea's had a good season. But the real turd in the punchbowl Cazorla over Mata! Are they fucking mad.

[JG-7]

As much as I dislike Stoke, this goal should have been up there as well: Jerome Vs. Southampton

Seriously? They really are fucking clueless on MOTD.

[The Playmaker]

They've got some good players returning from their loan deals, haven't they?

[Armand9]

Seriously? They really are fucking clueless on MOTD.

Technically no but specifically yes 

By that I mean, they had four midfield positions up for grabs - so it's just not Carzorla who got the shout over mata, but Lineker said something along the lines of 'Carzorla over Mata?' and they said he just pipped him, something along those lines.

[Armand9]

"Don't want to really give anything away" - so that means a deal has been done then with a team.

Came across that way to me as well and got the feeling it was he'd be at west ham next season

Tim Vickery pronounces it "Couch-inho", so that must be the Brazilian pronunciation.

I call him Phil.

I call him Mouse, he looks so tiny and softer than a mouse's ear

[Right Said Red]

Should have been Gerrard over Carzorla.

9 goals and 9 assists!

[Hoenheim]

They've got some good players returning from their loan deals, haven't they?

De Bruyne, Lukaku and Courtois are brilliant (and all from Belgium)

[rushyman]

Not to mention..

Benteke
Vertonghen
Van Buyten
Hazard
Kompany
Vermaelen
Dembele
Fellaini
Mirallas

Best Belgium team in their history by a bizarre distance

[loozy]

De Bruyne, Lukaku and Courtois are brilliant (and all from Belgium)

Very likely that de Bruyne is going to end up at either Dortmund or Leverkusen (if I am not mistaken then Leverkusen would want him included in the Schürrle-deal and de Bruyne was not opposed to it until the Götze-transfer was announced and now Dortmund are keen) - not sure if Chelsea are going to loan him out one more season or if he'll transfer for good.

[thelinnen]

Looked like he'd seen a ghost didn't he

They had Mata in mate, the 4 man midfield was Mata carrick Cazorla Bale.

They we're arguing about Cazorla piping Hazard.

[B0151?]

Just about to say

I don't think there's too much in that to be honest. I haven't seen much, and though I have been impressed with Hazard, he hasn't been amazingly consistent (neither has Cazorla). Maybe someone else should get in over both of them.

[stevied]

Dont look at the Garth Crooks team of the season then, this place will go into hyperdrive, i will give you a clue, no Suarez and not even a mention in the also rans that didnt make his team , prick

Haha. You could get annoyed about it, but then just realize it's Garth Crooks!

It's a weird one, because he made his team of the week on numerous occasions (not that I looked  ). Definitely political.

[Pistolero]

Haha. You could get annoyed about it, but then just realize it's Garth Crooks!

exactly...as soon as you accept that Crooks isn't a real footy pundit - but a ridiculous, camp, roly-poly, jibberish spouting, figure of fun, he actually becomes quite entertaining...

Ah fuck, thanks for putting me straight guys and agree with the above, both have been quality at times but really inconsistent, there are better options out there for a season long performance. Gerrard's one obvious one.

[Smudgester]

Indeed.

But surely, even such a person as that would realise that if you've put a player in your team of the week more often more not then surely said player has to be in your team of the season

Shut the window as soon as I saw it was a Garth Crooks opinion piece.

Patrice Evra 

Fuck a duck...

[Redman0151]

There you go all have a gander at that 

He's genuinely the worst pundit around, at least people like Merson have some semblance of sense and sanity. Crooks' teams of the week are hilarious every time, he insists on doing it like an actual team then sticks Mata as DM etc to make it fit

[sinnermichael]

the main saturday show will be available on the iplayer for the first time this season.

[Fitzy.]

Good news. Although I can't watch it if we lose. Football becomes repugnant for the whole weekend. Start f last season was terrible, I became out of touch after our poor start.

[idontknow]

They're doing that bad. Brilliant.
I take it that the pointless viewpoints of priceless over-priced priciples are also not shown on iplayer.
Still, bring down the bbc, all helps.

[TitanTrigger]

Same here, though RAWK seems to come alive when we lose. Make of that what you will.

About bloody time. Great news.

[Redman0151]

Really happy with that, so many times i've missed it and not recorded it.

Also means when I stop feeling depressed 2 days after our loss I can just skip over our match

[Po The Panda]

At last! It's absolute shite for a Liverpool fan though were usually on last for about 2 minutes.   

Show declines in quality every year.

[sinnermichael]

Lawrenson has been axed as a regular.

There is a God.
