From BBC web site:
There is, perhaps inevitably, some work for the police to deal with after today's meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United. An investigation has begun into allegations of racist gestures by fans
Wonder what's this all about?

Blimey - how do you make a racist gesture?

Dunno if our fans have done anything but there was rumours that United fans were bringing KKK hoods to the match in an attempt to mock Liverpool. That was well thought through.

I watched on TV and the crowds seemed brilliant, with the usual edgy banter.

Evra got booed throughout and got a few "There's only one lying B*****D" chants but nothing else.

I'm sure there was a few kickings in Stanley Park after the match but there always is in Liverpool v United matches.

Oh, and De Gea is shocking, absolute liability, no presence whatsoever.

He tried eyeballing Carroll at one point. :lach:

Carroll would wale him from one side of the pitch to the other, Theo Walcott probably would.

A Liverpool "Supporter" making a monkey gesture, apparently.

At least the prick will get a life ban.

First I've heard of it, but the report I've just seen said that this would be (if it happens) a loan deal based on Spurs getting shot of Pavlyuchenko. In which case I'd prefer to have Saha as a back-up forward.

I'd rather Pavlyuchenko to be honest, it's also an 18 month contract, not a loan.

Pav is to Spurs what Bendtner was to Arsenal IMO. Best rid.

Without looking too deeply, I can't see any firm confirmation that a deal has been done on Saha, but...
New Rangers boss Mark Hughes is desperate to strengthen his attack, which has scored just 22 goals in as many League games this term. That is why he has moved for Zamora, Pavlyuchenko and former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse, who today passed a medical ahead of a £4m move from Lazio.
...he must be desperate if any of those are going to strengthen his attack.

Have you seen QPR's forward line?
Any of those 3 would be a massive improvement, desperate as it appears :mrgreen:

Your lot signing Saha sounds even more desperate, he can't even get a regular start at Everton :? :shock:

Funny though how teams have had all month to do a bit of strengthening, if required, yet leave it to the last few hours :? :? :? :?

Spurs might get lucky, Saha will probably fail the medical.

Zamora, Pav and Cisse is brilliant business by QPR if even two happens.

An Everton fan handcuffs himself to the goalpost. :laugh:

Presumably until Saha has definitely signed for Spurs.
