Ya, i was reading that yesterday. You would think they were close to relegation and that they just got beat by a league 1 side.
I saw this on nufc.com: "Black armbands were worn in tribute to the club's former patron Trevor Bennett, not as was unkindly suggested in some quarters for recently deceased Playboy centrefold turned gold digger Anna Nicole Smith."

Didn't I say that [post=10337487]a month ago[/post] Great way to salvage a win from another Shambolic defensive performance. How Liverpool only scored once is beyond me. Oh, that's right, they're Tottenham in disguise. Thx, Jay!
The defending was none-too clever, but at least we ventured forward to try and alleviate the pressure rather than just bombing it back to the midfield line and letting them reset. I thought the middies made a few clever runs, Dyer and Milner especially. Where Dyer gets this energy to keep going from after being overused since his return is beyond me. Milner had an inability to keep the ball in play at times, for some stupid reason. Parker and Sissoko were amusing to watch in the center of the park, it was like they were playing on a slip 'n slide. Pretty much everyone made at least one mistake on the back line, yes even the uncriticizable Gooch. Bellamy's pace unlocked our defense just like I said someone of his ability would. Harper made his obligatory mistake against Liverpool and played pretty well after that. I already said Babayaro gets spared major criticism from this game. He wasn't -quite- as bad as I remember him being, but he obviously didn't play that well. That's as far as I'll go because I'm a compassionate human being and can't assess how losing his brother affected his on-pitch play. We rode our luck at times for an unexpected win, but one we probably deserved in the end.
and in other news: Karaoke goes bad "It was really late, about 2am, and the players eventually started drifting off to bed. But Craig, who was sharing with Steve Finnan, was so wound up he couldn't sleep. "He suddenly grabbed a golf club and went looking for John. And when he found him he waded in, hacking at his legs with the club." He really is a little beadie eyed twat innit he?
Worst part is reports said while he got to Riise's room with great pace, he had to swing three times to finally make contact.
So... We beat the Scousers, they beat Barca, making us the best team in Europe. Well it is about as close as we will get to being best in Europe for a while so I'll take it.
