I've heard of a girl called Fonda Cox!!

That's the worst perfomance I've seen in 10 years. Momo was awful his second touch was always a tackle, his 1st touch was that bad. Leto wasn't much better. He reminds me of Zenden. No pace but a half decent left foot. Crouch again looked well short (no pun intended) of the pace. I could go on but that'll do me for now.

Please Alonso hurry up and come back from injury

highlight of the night last night was rooney's crossfield pass to wes brown. inch perfect from sideline to sideline

I actually thought it was his attempt at a bicycle kick, f**k the ground shook when he landed

Glad to see the back of him, thought he was a twat.

Am I the only one in thinking he was at times tactical inept? If things weren't going right he would just push Huth (at the time) or Terry up front and knock long balls to them and drogba hoping for something to happen

I wonder will he move Arbeloa or maybe even Riise (Think he's moved in before) into centre back now Aurelio is back? Sami is grand against your physical striker but as soon as he comes up against a speedster with good movement he's bucked!

Alonso and Agger out for 6 weeks, bollocks!!!

Heard reports that Paco wants to leave

AYESTERAN HEADS FOR ANFIELD EXIT
Posted 31/08/07 15:13EmailPrintSave



Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has been rocked by the imminent departure of his right-hand man Paco Ayesteran from Anfield.

His fellow Spaniard and long-term friend had been Benitez's number two at Tenerife and Valencia before he followed the Reds chief to Merseyside.

It is believed that the players were informed of the news on Thursday after training, and it is not expected that Ayesteran will be alongside Benitez in the dug-out for Saturday's home game with Derby.

Liverpool would not confirm any further details, although Benitez said: "Paco has told me he wants to leave, apart from that I cannot say any more. We will have to assess the situation."

Gerrard may miss Chelsea match after foot injury

Steven Gerrard fears he will miss Liverpool's crucial Premiership match with Chelsea on Sunday and England's friendly against Germany next week after injuring his foot during yesterday's Champions League qualifying tie in the south-west of France.
The midfielder flew back to Merseyside last night with his right foot heavily bandaged having been the victim of a cynical stamp from Toulouse's Achille Emana during the second half.

He was substituted after the incident and immediately headed to the dressing room for ice treatment where he was examined by the Liverpool medical staff.

Great!!

I hope they haven't mad pacy strikers. Hypia could tire very quickly there in that heat.

I reckon Hyppia is in there to deal with the physical threat of Elmander.

On another issue

CARRAGHER DECLINES ENGLAND RETURN
Posted 15/08/07 11:52EmailPrintSave

England manager Steve McClaren has confirmed Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has decided not to return to international football.

The centre-back has deliberated long and hard over his original decision to ask not to be considered for his country.

McClaren made a personal visit to Liverpool's training ground on Monday for a face-to-face meeting with Carragher, but the situation remained the same, with the tough defender politely declining a request to change his mind.

McClaren told a press conference, televised by Sky Sports News: "I met Jamie on Monday and had a very good conversation but unfortunately he's stayed with the decision to not be involved with us.

"We respect that, Jamie has been a fantastic servant for England.

"I won't close the door, who knows in the future."


Thank f**k for that. McClaren in my eyes is a joke. How can you play woodgate and a half fit king (Who missed most of the season) in front of Carra who was unbelieveable for Liverpool especially in the Champions League. To make matters worse he then plays brown in front of him!! Everyone can see (not just Liverpool fans) that Carra has been the most consistant English centre back (along with Terry) over the last 3/4 years. Now when he has a few injury concerns he comes crawling back to Carra. Well I for one I'm glad he hasn't went back as it will only be goog for LFC

 

Any winners of the team lottery selection??

I got 8 of the players right, anyone do any better?

reina
finnan carra agger arbeloa(dont rate)
pennant gerrard masch riise
kuyt torres

though could see rafa playing five in midfield with stevie supporting a loan striker.

Going to stick my neck out and suggest

Reina
Finnan, Carra, Agger, Riise
Benayoun, Gerrard, Masch, Kewell
Crouch, Vorinin

I don't think i have ever predicted one of Rafa's team so not holding much hope for this one. With chelski coming up reckon he'll rest a few, although it maybe wise player Crouch against them with no terry in the team

Fly to Crete stay there for a night then get a ferry up a to a wee Island called Ios. Absolutely fantastic place. Little or no engish. Mostly Ozzies and Irish. The island itself is beautiful. I've been a couple of times now. We always stay at a place called Far Out Camping. You can obviously camp or they have some bungalows you can rent. Great pool with couple of bars. The beach is 10 sec walk, where you have loads of water sports.If you don't want to slum it in basic accomm. there are plenty of smalll hotels and you can still go down to the Far Out Caming pool/bars where everyone seems to go. Ios hasn't really been commercialised which adds to the character. The main town is a small settlement on a hill. Small winding streets full of bistro's, bars and clubs (nightlife is unbelieveable and the weeman surprisingly easy!). Stay on Ios for 5 nights then head back to crete for the last. If you can get cheap enough flights this holiday works out really cheap and you'll have a belter

Sorry gawa, I thought you asked whether it was on, I didn't realise you meant on TV. Sorry 'bout that.

No worries. I'll have to sign up for this setanta package now. it seems a good enough deal and the amount of money it will save me from not going down the pub to watch the matches will more than make up for the tenner.

On Toulouse...Elmander is there star player. although no world beater he has a decent record. Seen him play for Sweden against Norn Iron and he is big and physical with a decent touch. Would like to think Carra aand Agger can cope with him though.
