Father Ted was the greatest of all time...It's as simple as that.....I can't think of a comedy from the UK that was funnier......okay the Father Jack joke got old at times but he still was an essential part of the show...Father Jack was the Darren Fletcher of the show - in other words he helped glue it all together without ever getting any praise for his efforts

this has to be here: After our draw with Southampton on Sunday, Jose Mourinho was asked by the media if his team would get another penalty in the league before the end of the season. That was after Branislav Ivanovic was denied a clear spot-kick when his leg was scraped from behind as he charged into the box. We were of course the recipient of a spot-kick in our last European encounter, when PSG’s Thiago Silva obviously handled in the area, but Champions League referees have spotted penalty incidents throughout, with four also given our way in the group stage. It is in our 28 Premier League games this season where we have been awarded just two penalties. Both were for infringements on the league’s most-fouled player, Eden Hazard, and both were in home London derbies, against Arsenal and QPR respectively. The most recent was four-and-a-half months ago. Historically, this figure seems abnormally low. In the Double-winning 2009/10 campaign, when we were the country’s outstanding attacking team, we were awarded 12 league penalties. Those fouled included Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Yury Zhirkov, Salomon Kalou, Branislav Ivanovic (pictured below) and Nicolas Anelka. The following year, when we finished second, we were given eight spot-kicks. Even in our sixth-placed 2011/12 campaign, our lowest league finish under the current ownership, the Blues were the recipient of five penalties (plus seven more in other competitions including in the victorious Champions League and FA Cup runs). There were 11 league penalties the following year when we came third. Last season, Jose Mourinho’s first back at Stamford Bridge, we were awarded seven spot-kicks in the league, for fouls on Eden Hazard, Oscar (pictured below), Ramires, Samuel Eto’o (twice), Fernando Torres and Mohamed Salah. So this season’s tally of two unquestionably bucks the recent trend yet our position as clear league leaders and second-highest scorers suggests we can’t be labelled anything other than an attacking side, spending plenty of time in the opposition box. Our two closest challengers in the Premier League this season, Manchester City and Arsenal, have both been awarded seven penalties – the most in the division. City have only scored one goal more than Chelsea and Arsenal two less. Last term, the two teams that finished above us in the league – Man City and Liverpool – were awarded more penalties than any other team bar us. Of course, it could be that when teams have played the league leaders they have been particularly careful inside their own area. We all have plenty of recollections suggesting this is not the case however. From the first half of our very first league game, at Burnley, a number of key penalty-box decisions have not gone our way, Diego Costa the victim that evening after being felled trying to round the keeper. He should have been awarded Shed End penalties against Liverpool and PSG recently, too. Man United v Chelsea At Old Trafford in late October, both John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic were wrestled to the ground (above) as they tried to attack an in-swinging free-kick in front of the Stretford End. Cesc Fabregas was then cruelly booked (pictured top) after being tripped inside the area at Southampton and four days later Tottenham escaped after handling close to their own goal. All those were before Sunday’s incident involving Ivanovic and the previous home game against Burnley when the right-back’s goalbound shot was infamously blocked by the clearest of raised arms. Below is a list of the penalty numbers for this season so far, and the five campaigns before: Premier League penalties awarded to Chelsea 2014/15 – 2 2013/14 – 7 2012/13 – 11 2011/12 – 5 2010/11 – 8 2009/10 - 12 http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/03/penalty-puzzle.html

Class always tells. And that's one thing UTD have in abundance, plus history,and courage, and passion, and commitment. (3 other important factors in football) Joe Cocker said 'Don't let me be misunderstood' and he was right, Louis has been misunderstood but thankfully people are starting to see clearly now.

Put it like this, if the us ever becomes like germany, the countries that would benefit are the smaller concacaf nations. In fact teams like el salvador would make the world cup, due to american-born salvadoreans playing for el salvador because the us was too deep. In fact its funny when you See american-born soccer fans who root for their parents country and not the US, don't realize that its only when the us become a super soccer nation that our rejects will then play for the other countries and help them make a world cup.

What I noticed lately is that, for the most part, we are one of the most dignified teams in the world. When you look at how Liverpool and Barca/Real behaved yesterday (even though the latter two were on their best behaviour), we really stood out. Herrera and De Gea could have milked those incidents much more than they did, especially with the reputation that Spanish players have. Smalling too could probably have tried to get Balotelli sent off. Apart from those incidents, in general players like Carrick, Jones, Blind, Mata, Falcao, Rooney (yep he has finally grown up), Young (cut out the diving finally it seems), Valencia, etc all play the game hard and fair. I think it is important especially in the modern game where a lot of the players are embarrassing to watch. Evans is also usually someone that represents the club well and that last incident was truly out of character. One thing that is bothering me now is Di Maria's attitude (diving etc), but hopefully he will shape up. Am I overreacting because I am over the moon at the moment or is this a fair assessment?

This is the weekend I learned I was Liverpool. This play/goal, one year ago this weekend, cemented my passion for the #LFC. My youngest boy and I get up early and stay up late to watch our fantastic club. As Americans the game was still foreign to us. We had followed players for the previous couple of years, but after watching Being Liverpool I knew this was our team. When Suarez scored that goal my boy and I jumped out of our seat and hugged one another as if we where in the Kop. It was magic. We now sing the songs and cheer along with Anfield from man ocean away. This community has been great too. It is wonderful to get together with you all during the matches. #YNWA #ThisIsAnfield #LFC
