I am at Anfield and I can hear #LFC fans taunting #THFC fans by hissing and making references to the holocaust. I am absolutely disgusted.

Urgh, Rodgers is going to be even more insufferable now after this

Is it just me or are all kopite fans insufferable? Just a had a text from some RS fan proclaiming 'YNWA super Mario", now I've not spoken to this chap for about 3 months nor heard a word off him about anything, but now they have luckily won a fairly meaningless game I get to hear all about it! What the hell?!

Have just ignored him but what went wrong when someone created RS fans!!?

Has Brenda come out and said how he transformed Mario into a goal machine yet..........

3-2 eh! With 10 men on the pitch for the first 70 or so.. (Gerrard strutting around the place). Still, when the lino is making all the wrong calls and Dowd is handing out all the yellows to Spurs The Leaving Party goes on.

.....wonder if there are any Premier League stats on number of penalties awarded per team per number of games in the history of the Premiership. I also wonder if numbers of opposition sendings off are also available. Would make very interesting reading and I wouldn't mind a bet that the club on top have never won the title.

Data here shows that they have averaged a pretty low total of cards per game - Norwich Ipswich and Wednesday less per game (the others being only one or two seasons so insufficient data). The data also shows that, unsurprisingly, they have the lowest proportion of home yellow cards (37%) just ahead of Man Utd (39%) which is an interesting point.
