Liverpool On Top as Ricardo Fuller Takes a Pop

NOT:

Well we already had a laugh at the expense of the Newcastle United defence but they do deserve another mention under "NOT". Liverpool (or Hyppia) should have had 10.

If Newcastle hadn’t had Michael Owen’s legitimate equalizing goal chopped off,
it could have been all so different.

That was a joke by the way…but not as big a joke as Ryan Babel’s celebration. You tapped in the third Liverpool goal from a yard, not the winner from 30.

What about all these moans about Benoit Assou-Ekotto’s sending off? A yellow for raising the studs and another for that horrendous haircut. Sounds fair enough to me.

Who says it is only foreigners that dive? Roman Bednar may have given
Michael Dawson a nudge in the run-up to West Brom’s opener but the big Englishman went over like a dying swan.

Talking of diving like a swan, what about Robinho’s diving header? What a sitter that was, and undoubtedly Hot or Not’s miss of the week.

Robinho’s late effort may have saved Hughes' job but it is goals and dropped points like that which will send Blackburn Rovers down.

Now to the biggest shock of the weekend, if not the season. Ricardo "Slapper" Fuller smacking his own Captain, Andy "The Silver Fox" Griffin. Honestly, Fuller doesn’t deserve to wear a Stoke shirt again and I hope Andy got a shot in backstage.

Fuller not only cost his side a point but the whole club's good spirit, the Jamaican may well have just slapped the Premier League fight out of his teammates—or is it colleagues—at times like these?

Ricky Sbragia should have walked away with his good reputation after turning Sunderland’s fortunes around in recent weeks.

Instead, he took the job and got a 3-0 beating.
