[BS]

I had heard last week that there would be a few big names announced today.  I don't know if it was BS but it would be nice. 

Any word what time the press conference is at?

Who is BS?

Forget about that question, i've just realised, d'oh

Hard to beat Lusty Beg near Kesh and the Killy Hevlin just outside enniskillen. Good photo opportunities. Harvey's Point near donegal town is also some spot

who'd win then?

Gary Neville, who else?

The big question then is why only 15000 of their wearers actually go to watch NI games?

Maybe because that's the capacity of Windsor Park

All these rumours of Finnan are absolute bollix, why would the best right back in the EPL want to move to villa and why would we want to sell him? Papers make any oul shite up these days

The Guardian Rumour Mill

So it's not too surprising that Rafa Benítez wears a worried expression on his face this morning as he surveys the footballing buffet spread before him. The Sun reckons he'll fill the howling void that is Liverpool's left-flank with Valencia winger David Silva. Once he's done that Djibril Cissé will become the Lord of the Manor of Lisbon when he's used as bait in Rafa's pursuit of Benfica midfielder Simão Sabrosa. Meanwhile, our proper journalist colleagues report that Carlos Tevez and Florent Malouda are being forced to watch Bread repeats on a 20-hour loop to prepare them for their new lives as official Scousers. While all that kerfuffle is going on, Sami Hyypia will slip out the back door and make his way to Wigan.

Simao would be a great addition as he can play on both flanks and actually as a bit of flair and creativity. Haven't seen much of yer man silva so will hold judgement. Is it just me or was Malouda not the greatest in the world cup? Any reports on how he has played this season? Tevez would be a great buy but still think we would need a real poacher to get 25 + goals a season.

P.S. Sami please don't leave

What do yis reckon about Gonzales? He seems destined to leave this summer. All that shite over his visa and after a poor season he's away. Bit disappointing, I would give him one more season to try and find his feet. His pace alone is frightening

Also has anyone heard Skye's new song in real life? lets just say she is no kylie minogue!!

Is she jason donovan's sister?

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.
