Peter and Vinnie,

No. Peter’s right. I meant diminutive Brazilian. In past articles, I’ve made mistakes mixing up J Pennant w/ J Defoe and Erikkson w/ McClaren, but nothing to risk sparking an international incident like this. Crap.

Chris from Texas,

Lucas swears he’s been bulking up. Maybe he’ll finally offer more defensive resistence than a sopping wet piece of paper. (Now, who’s for playing a game of Rock, Lucas, Scissors?)

Pompey Canuck,

The classic matches I’m discussing definitely come from a supporters perspective. Neutrals might cite Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal over the ones I’m discussing. Supporters of Man City, Pompey and Manchester United (after today’s post) won’t share my point of view that these come-from-behind-wins for Liverpool are potential classics. That’s why I hope others will post their own picks for new classics from their perpective in the comments sections.

Off to finish Part 3. Please tune in…

no, Peter. He meant mascherano but didn’t mention his name, diminutive Argentine

I think that you should re-title this what makes a crushing defeat. Rafa started a B team against us, and we couldn’t manage to beat them. Torres only needed 15 mins to carve up our defense. It was embarrassing, and if I remember correctly one of Tony Adam’s last matches in charge and deservedly so.

Are you stating lucas is from Argentina because he’s from Brazil.
