The question was
What other club wouldn't want Jurgen in charge of them?
I answered, whether he'd want to go there is irrelevant.
He's not odd, he had the players holding hands and doing that wanky wave thing. ODD!
Coutinho, Sturridge and Firmino front 3 will cause problems to every PL defence let alone the worst in the division. Keep them fit and score goals to take pressure off dodgy defence.
5th, League Cup and deep Europa run would be good end to season.

I must be missing something. Admittedly you smashed the worst team the PL has ever seen (possibly except Derby), but in seven games this calendar year, you've only managed to beat Norwich and Villa, yet you somehow think you'll finish 5th, win the League Cup and go far in Europe.

Yes.
That was the first game Coutinho, Sturridge and Firmino started all season - first choice attacking trio.
Keep them fit and there will be more spankings handed out. Movement and chaos in final third was almost at Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling level.
Compare that to Benteke, Lallana, Ings, Ibe, Origi and Milner who have all had stints in front 3, is night and day difference.

If you do the same in the Merseyside derby, I might start to believe you!

My comment was sarcastic .
Keep them fit and go for the Europa. It's our best chance of making the champions league next season.

Man United are saying the same, so it's fitting you'll be playing each other.

Now into extra time. A good Final. Pity so many here can't see it, hidden away on beIN Sports.
Anyone who has the internet could have seen it. BEIN is on there
Anyone who has fetch, or foxtel could have seen it
What exactly did you mean?
Trying to explain the internet to an old, slightly daft, fellow like Con, is probably wasting your time.

Moreno could've also had a penalty. Seen them given before.
Mignolet kept us in it. He may have cost us a goal but came up with so many top saves to force it to penalties. Worst way to lose.

Used to losing penalties? We have s good record in that especially in 2005
Anyone else think Benteke shouldn't have got a penalty for the merest of brushes? If that happens in the centre circle, there's no way he would have fallen over and he certainly wouldn't have gone down like he'd been shot.
I thought this was a contact sport?

Looking at the slow mo replay this morning, to me it looked like Benteke was already on his way down when his heel clipped the defender's knee. Cheating, diving, sherry. I notice Nigel no name is nowhere around this morning

Codswallop! So, any contact that doesn't include the ball, is now a foul?
Please show me where the LOTG say that. Referees are being conned and every club is guilty to some extent.

I'd sooner swap it for the 3-3 a couple years back. End of, a soft pen, but if refs choose to give things they clearly didn't see (ie guess rather than 100% certain), then we will always have problems.

When you catch their heel - yes.
you don't even need contact for it to be a foul.
We were fortunate but it was a pen.
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any
of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be
careless, reckless or using excessive force:
• kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
• trips or attempts to trip an opponent

Considered being the operative word. If you think that was careless, reckless or dangerous, you need your head examined. Can you honestly say Benteke would have gone to ground in the centre circle for that level of contact?
I'm not blaming Benteke per se, although he is a cheating champagne, he's no worse than hundreds of other footballers. No doubt Pardew will be steaming about it, yet he says and does nothing when Zaha or Cabaye do exactly the same thing.
In ten years the game will be like netball and that saddens me.

Not disagreeing, I did put considered in bold for exactly the same reason - it's bollox. it was careless, knowing he would fall though - most do!
Who gives a cabernet, it was only palace. The wankiest most pathetic side in the premiership with their "cheerleaders", their "ultras", claiming to hate Brighton and getting a coach for the short trip up the road to their rivals.

I don't care for Palace either, but it's a worry that diving is now so acceptable.
Before anyone tells me that 190cm and 90kg Benteke was not diving because he got the slightest touch, I urge you to watch some videos of older players like George Best, 170cm and 70kg wringing wet, who stayed on his feet despite some fearful clogging.
I'm happy that players are better protected in the modern game, but it's gone too far and blatant cheating is now the norm.
The slightest touch is NOT a foul. Anywhere on the pitch.
