Hefty fine for a Danish football fan who tried to attack a ref. More than doubled after his appeal.

[SuperCat]

Can anyone other than Sky show football without fucking it up in some way? It's like Daleks are controlling MOTD's mics.

[Art Vandelay]

Oh my Christ it's Lawrenson.

[exwhyzed]

since when has BBC been showing Carling Cup?

[Mr Do 71]

Is the sound fecked for everyone else on BBC 1 HD, it's just so much quieter than BBC 1 and sometimes the commentary sounds distant.

[DC Lemon]

Liverpool could be 4-0 up already. I'll have some of this from City in the league, please.

[Lucky]

Andy Carroll looks completely fucked, looks seriously low on confidence. Not sure if he needs a goal, a kick up the backside, a couple of weeks away, a move back to newcastle maybe, or just to keep pluging away and hope something good happens.

I nearly feel sorry for him.

[exwhyzed]

he needs a drink

It went echoey during the sit-down discussion. It's still buggered is it?

Doesn't sound echoey any more, just quieter than BBC 1.

I'm glad the BBC have employed Linekar, Hansen, Shearer and Dixon to provide such insightful analysis at half time.

Shearer's thoughts on the second half

beware of something from Man City

[Art Vandelay]

I'm glad the BBC have employed Linekar, Hansen, Shearer and Dixon to provide such insightful analysis at half time.

Their take on Man City's performance was there wasn't enough passion, with their advice being they should demonstrate more passion. Scintillating stuff.

[Charliemouse]

What a goal from Assou-Ekotto

[the_debaser]

Fucking hell Kompany's missus is

[PaB]

Yeah I thought that, she's a stunner.

Also love the story of balotelli filling up everyone's car in the petrol station he pulled into. The guy is a legend.

Played shit tonight though.

[ckny]

Do any of these Ballotelli stories have sources, press coverage, etc? They're myths perpetuated from the one true story involving the truant.

[SaintM]

Johnson is a lucky boy. Last week he'd have got a 4 match ban.

[Stig]

Glenn Johnson very lucky to stay on then. Two footed and IMO worse than Kompanys. He won the ball but if Kompanys is a red so is that (and I'm an LFC fan saying this)

[Shimmyhill]

Good win for Spurs, equal second now

Why wasn't Johnson sent off just then, double footed jump in tackle?

[the_debaser]

Because the ref got that call right. Kompanys wasn't right.

[exwhyzed]

Unlucky Liverpool, another solid moral victory for City.

[Stig]

Interesting comments by Gerrard there, pretty much calling Mancini a hypocrite complaining about Rooney but now trying to get Jonhson into trouble. I saw it more like what Shearer said that he wants to know what the difference is. I can see why hes saying it though. But I agree it's a red.

[Timmo]

Mancini's interviews after a loss are dripping with tension, I love it.

[Naysonymous]

I see Robbie Keane has finally signed on loan for the club he supported as a boy, Aston Villa. At the press conference he said he was delighted to be at Villa Park but it was something of a wrench leaving his boyhood heroes, L.A. Galaxy. He is expected to make his debut against Everton this weekend, but if he scores a goal he wont celebrate because he feels it would be disrespectful to Everton, the team he supported when he was growing up.

Read this on a betting website earlier...

Wrexham hero Mickey Thomas scored a famous goal against Arsenal in the 3rd round of the 1992 FA Cup, to help knock the league holders out of that year's competition. A few days later he was arrested for his part in a counterfeiting operation and spent 9 months in Jail, following his conviction in 1993. 1992 was an eventual year for Mickey as later that year he was stabbed in the buttocks by his enraged brother-in-law who caught him 'In flagrante' with his wife.

Did he pork his own sister?

[SaintM]

His sister?
