Funny old game today, thought you defended pretty resolutely. Whats the view on Diame, was impressed with his touch today?
Got one of the best defensive records in the PL this year so not surprising.Diame's very hot & cold. BFS always plays him out of position which doesn't help but I thought that he was ok yesterday.
Downing really wound me up yesterday. Most of his decision making and final balls were absolutely abysmal. I haven't seen the replays but it looked like their second penalty was cast iron - it looked like Adrian saved the ball at first but then used his other arm to haul Suarez down! And a nice punch/assist from Carroll for our equaliser! The lino definitely had that one right.

Not much was coming off for him; seemed to be trying too hard - bloke in front of me (who's not usually there) spent most of the game shouting abuse at him 
. Pretty s
t ref'ing throughout the game - should've been a couple of bookings in the first half. Been the same throughout this PL season so far though; doubt anything will change though as the FA are fking useless. Have we really been reduced to using dirty tricks as Gerrard states - http://www.givemesport.com/452060-liverpool-captai...
Bloody embarrassing if so.

I suspect that the same "tactics" are commonplace throughout football w/ away dressing rooms being purposefully crap - I posted some pics earlier in the year showing the away dressing room at UP.
Don't think that it's anything to get worried about either way - rather than turn the hearing up we should've made sure there was plenty of pasta available

All part of the game I'd say.
I took my son for a tour of Stamford Bridge (the shame!) and the guide took great pleasure in showing us the away changing room and saying that the heating would be up and that the white board was in the corner by the door, which had to remain open 'for safety purposes', meaning that the manager would invariably be stuck behind the door whilst tring to deliver his pre-match talk.
That plus the tiny lockers at feet level and the ancient treatment table all combine to make it as difficult an environment as possible.
I should think that most teams try and get an edge somehow

Pah what a mincing queen.
I remember playing Sunday League football where sometimes there was no changing rooms at all ~ you just unzipped in the open. Plus if you wanted a shower you had to locate a sheep trough and splash around in it.
