You really think I am bitter after drawing a game that I expected us to lose (as we had a CL game beforehand)? Deary me.

If we are bitter about any other teams it us those that win trophies and challenge for the league.

Win trophies, FFS you've got some catching up to do.

.....This thread has turned into a bit of a squabble boys!!....

Seriously, I actually get where the guy is coming from concerning some of Liverpool's antics.

Suarez is a fantastic player, but his diving and general moaning really do make for unpleasant viewing.....Similarly, Adam seems to have similar habits, which I'm guessing he has always had, but have only come to light since his move to a more high-profile club.

Watch Adam during the Balotelli sending off incident.....His pleading for a sending off was pretty desperate stuff.

Definately, but it's nothing that Utd and Chelsea haven't perfected years ago.

Adams always been shocking at tackling, and awful at diving. You'd have thought the amount of times he does it he'd be decent at making it look real, but nope, still looks like a dive.

That's true, still doesn't make it good viewing though.

To be fair to Liverpool, I think its been a deliberate ploy by Dalglish to make them 'unlikeable', creating a siege mentality, which, in turn, creates a team spirit which was missing in the Hodgson spell.....I'm sure most Kopites would make do with a disliked side if it got them back into the top 4 again?

Every team 'cheats', every single team, so I don't know why you highlight a particular club. Everton fans who whinge about Suarez, saying things like "he cheated Ghana at the world cup and he cheats every week" clearly haven't watched their own side play. Phil Neville was sent off in a derby for doing the exact same thing as Suarez did at the world cup, yet he is the model pro. I've watched many Everton games and seen just about all of their players go down easily and appeal furiously to the referee. I've seen their players dive and I've seen them make dirty tackles regularly.

Suarez cheats, big deal, he's the latest 'cheat' of hundreds from the past. Anyone who singularly brands him a cheat is completely one-eyed, as they will cheer cheats every week. People should be moaning at Fifa, Uefa and the FA for rule changes to stop these players cheating. If I had my way, every single player who argues with a ref would be red carded, every player who dives would be red carded, and if it could be proven a player cheated in any way after a game, he'd get a ban as well. Sportsmanship is non-existent in football, I'd like to see it brought back.

Bristol City announce £11.45m losses "It is a big problem," chairman Colin Sexstone told BBC Radio Bristol. "It's a lot of money over three years. Wages in the Championship are far too big and at Bristol City in particular they are just too much."

If that means you drop down a division to a level you can sustainably afford then so be it. What is it about people who run football clubs that they automatically hand in their brains at the door on the way to work every morning and make decisions they would never make in their usual businesses?

Well done Roddy B for taking a point in your cup final As for Suarez ive never seen anything like it in my life when someone gets within 2 metres of him hes already heading too the ground. Class player but the worst diver i have seen in my life. As for De Jong he has caused 1 bad injury which could of happened at anytime too anyone. Hes no worse than a scholes, Keane or Viera or Mascherano so you can ssh with that one. As for Ballotelli he will learn from that as liverpool players wound him up on purpose he was just niave. As has already been mentioned im happy with a point at anfield. We had a big game mid week we were carrying Milner and Toure for large parts Silva didnt get much service and Aguero was very quiet and we still took a point away from Fotress Anfield i think all this bitterness is coming from your end because you had a good chance and couldnt take it cause of dog iron plaers like Downing and Henderson (Money well spent) on another note i though Lucas was outstanding him and Barry were both very good

Tbf though Liverpool are 100x bigger than Man City ever will be (no matter how many trophies you buy).
