Well there is a pattern.
When Liverpool played Manchester United, United had Vidic sent off.
When Liverpool played Arsenal, Arsenal had Adebayor sent off.
When Liverpool played Chelsea, Chelsea had Lampard sent off.
Liverpool are very lucky against top 4 sides and for some reasons there opponents best players sent off.
Originally posted by sally cinnamonHypothesis: Liverpool's rivals getting sent off is as common as the sun coming up in the morning.
When Liverpool played Manchester united the sun came up in the morning.
When Liverpool played Chelsea the sun came up in the morning.
When Liverpool played Arsenal the sun came up in the morning.
I see a pattern developing here, Liverpool have the sun gods on their side, im off to the F.A. with this conspircy.

He didn't need a replay to see Bosingwa's studs being planted in Benayoun's back - the linesman had his flag up but Riley didn't even bother consulting him.
The Lampard tackle happened quickly but I thought Riley was going to punish Alonso as I'd seen clearly that Lampard had taken the ball.
Mike Riley is a terrible (chinless wonder) ref.

I'm more interested in this pattern.
1989 Michael Thomas scores THAT GOAL and Arsenal win the League at Anfield in the last kick of the game.
1999 Manchester United win the treble.
2009 - Could it be the quadrouple????????????????
I like years that end in 9!

I was worried by Chelsea, always have been and all my posts consistently say I think Chelsea will finished 2nd.
Now that Liverpool have taken another 3 points from (thank you) Chelsea to peg back Chelsea and stop Liverpools 6 game drawing streak.
I'm very happy.
Not sure why Lampard was red carded when it was Lampard that was fouled but who cares when you are top with games in hand.
Listen again AB.
(1) Manchester United
(2) Chelsea
3,4,5 - who cares, its a battle anything can happen.
I can easily see Liverpool finishing 5th though.

Although poor Pedro Mendes who "didn't score" possibly the best goal anyone has ever scored against Man U won't agree!
But in this case the sending off didn't matter, Chelsea were rubbish up to that point anyway, I was hoping they'd hold on for a 0-0 draw but it was a very well deserved win for Liverpool...counting down the days to March 14th!!!!!!!!

Well, it's official.
The FA has responded regarding the Bosingwa incident and will take no action based on the FA rule that if the referee in the game is aware of the event in question at the time that it happened then they cannot punish the offending player additionally. Mike Riley has told the FA that he witnessed the event as it happened and decided to take no action.
Quite a silly rule. Something rotten in the state of Football.
I haven't heard anything yet about the possibility of Lampard's red card being overturned.
