My Team for Champions League Final


                             
                   Renia

Finnan     Carra    Agger    Riise

Pennant Gerrard Mascherano Kewell

               Crouch  Kuyt

I'd bring in Alonso for Pennant and move Gerrard out to the right.

I'd go with that as well. Milan would over run us in the midfield with Gerrard and Mascherano basically up against Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf and even Kaka (who as we know drops deep). It would be harsh on Pennant though who has been top notch in recent months. I'd save Bellamy for the last half hour (if we need him) to run against Milan's aging defence. Shite me heart rate is up just thinking about this  

For any Mickeys boasting about the Champions league Final....the best comeback I've heard to date....


"You can't win the Premiership on penalties!!"

Jaysus I wouldn't like to hear the other ones you've heard if you think thats good!!

I'd go for one of the big guns in spain..Torres, Villa or E'to and then someone like Bent who is proven in the prem and will be looking for a move with the euro champs coming up. We need creativity big time in midfield, somene who can do something out of nothing e.g. Messi, Kaka, Ronaldinho. Quaresma from portugal looks good but would he adapt to the prem?

Heighway: Rafa's plan for young Reds 'crazy'

Liverpool academy boss Steve Heighway has described Rafael Benitez's decision to assume control of the coaching of the club's up-and-coming players as "crazy".

Heighway oversaw the Reds' triumph in the FA Youth Cup final last week and announced after the second leg that he would be leaving the academy after 19 years.

He told The Times: "Rafa is a terrific manager, tactically astute with qualities I really admire, but in my view I'm the best coach of 17 and 18-year-old players in this club.

"But I no longer get the chance to do that. That's crazy, that's mad; it's to the detriment of the young players at this club."

During Heighway's time at the club players such as Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher have come through the ranks.

Although Heighway has to be commended on our 2 recent youth cup wins, no player since Stevie G has been able to make the step up to the first team, which is disappointing considering the resources we have put into the academy.

On your other mans ratings of the team (although slightly bias) I would mark them as follows:

Reina 8, Finnan 8, Carra 9, Agger 8, Arbeloa 6, Gerrard 9, Mascherano 8, Alonso 8, Riise 7, Kuyt 7 & Bells 6. Total 84

Mascherano is going to have his work cut out with kaka. But if anyone is up to the task its him. He's been immense recently. He needs to do a similar job to what hamann did that second half in istanbul.

On paper we are much better than 2 years ago, while Milan you could argue aren't. We have brought in Reina, Agger, Mascherano, Crouch, Kuyt and Pennant (who in recent weeks has been class). Out Djimi , Smicer (although I'll forgive these 2 for there performances on that night), Baros and Cisse. While Milan have no major 'ins' except mabe Oddo and that left back. While they have got rid of Crespo, Sheva and Stam. But I suppose in football ye never know

Wonder what the odds are on Kewell making is comeback in the final?

Well what the f**k was that **** cole doing everytime he got the ball...thats right pumping it up to that other **** up front.

Wouldnt mind being from Chelsea - quite a lot of cnuts there
What do you really think of them gawa?

They are all c***ts..well maybe a few twats in there aswell. However they are effective at what they do. Strong defense...hit long balls to drogba...knock downs to midfield...deflected goals.

Also Maureen has no shame - claiming it was a penalty as "fact" yet it was clearly outside the box and weather it was a free was debatable. He was clearly relying on second half info, as the replays show he didn't react during the actual incident.

Just to add to that, the twat slated us for playing long ball to crouch when he came on. Well what the f**k was that **** cole doing everytime he got the ball...thats right pumping it up to that other **** up front. Does he not realise the irony of what he says. Goes back to slating Barca for diving...this is the ultimate irony when he has the likes of robben, drogba etc not to mention his porto team

Pair of Hummel moldies. They had  about 57 studs on each boot

Anyone any data on how fast/far the United fans ran from the peelers in Rome?

banned for racist chanting but Munich songs, stoning ambulances, throwing cups full of shite at away fans and singing songs about a players broken leg as he lies on the field are all acceptable?

scumbags? Tolerated? never 

Maybe you should sort out your own back yard before slaggin' others. Kettle, pot and black spring to mind

Is Essien the only player suspended for the russians?

To be honest I don't even want to think about the possibility of that match until it actually occurs. Gettin that churning feeling in my stomach already. It'll be watched in the house by myself with no outside communication near hand and a bottle of vodka in the freezer. It'll be either drunk on route to the pub if we win or slumped on the sofa conptemplating suicide

I reckon team for chelski will look something like this,

               Reina
Finnan, Carra, Agger, Arbeloa
Pennant, Masch, Alonso, Riise
              Gerrard
           Crouch/Kuyt

Nice to see Stevie G come back into a bit of form last night. Lets hope he and the lads can pull out a result on wednesday night

What an awful game today

I doubt very much United would have tried to win 8-0 last night or even against Roma if they had have been 3 up after the first leg
Firstly they wouldn't have had their best 11 out secondly why would they or Liverpool go gung ho when your 3 up and risk injury and yellow cards?

As for Liverpool v Barcelona and Dunphys comments and your views,You both seem to forget to mention Liverpool could have been 4 up at half time and why with 20mins to go and Barcelona still needing two goals why would Liverpool do anything other than defend and hope to catch Barca on the counter why would they go chase another goal and thus leaving gaps at the back???

Well said. Its unbelieveable those dicks expected us to keep attacking with 20 mins left. Barca had all the work to do, so why not rely on one of our strenghths (defense, which is as much a part of football as  attacking) to get us through?!

'Gerrard a nothing player' ...What a twat, does anybody take him seriously?
