Rafa has just said during his press conference (regarding Hodgson): "He needs to stop talking about flops and concentrate on his job".

The thing with Skrtel is, he's much, much better playing at RCB than LCB. Although there is only a subtle positional change, the impact is huge. When partnered with Carra, he's always the LCB and a lot of his problems (apart from his heading) is when he moves to cover the LB.

Madrid were superb. I reckon they'd be even better with Gareth Barry pulling the strings.

There's absolutely no chance of him resigning, judging by these quotes in relation to his failure at Blackburn:

Perhaps posted already, but 'media friendly' Roy is losing it:

I can watch Xabi for Spain, but I can't bring myself to watch him playing for those fascists.

Xabi's been magnificent for Spain so far.

I ordered the most recent documents (posted a couple of pages ago). There are no amended documents filed with Companies House. I may be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, the Companies Act 2006 stipulates that any amended AoA must be filed with Companies House within 14 days.

If they did indeed pass a Special Resolution and amended the memorandum and articles of association, why hasn't this amended copy been filed with Companies House?

This sheds a bit more light on the possible (probable?) outcome of the court case: A Fair Kop?

I'm guessing* they've been amended, but not filed. *Hoping.

The relevant section of the articles of association of KFHL is worded in exactly the same way as the clipping above. The last recorded amendment was in 2008.

Kop Football Limited:

NESV will buy the club, subject to approval by the Premier League (a given) and a dispute resolution with the (hopefully) previous owners. Damn you, Swipe. Damn you.

Fck me, they've got Rogan Taylor on 5 Live.

That's not strictly true. There's a YooToob vid of the original interview with English subs. The interviewer asked him what he thinks he needed to do to get back in the team, Agger replied that he probably needed to hit long balls. He then said, he'd try to adapt but that's not his game/philosophy.

According to Rory Smith, Liverpool are considering 5 bids - none of which involve Kirdi. Though it is understood that 'Sharjah' are one of the bidders. I think it's time for me to admit that I am the plant. I am also Spartacus.

He wasn't regularly booed though. Not that being booed once is acceptable.

Didn't seem to affect Xabi.

Poor result, but well defended by the Swiss. Alonso was a class apart. I thought Capdevilla was the weak link in defence (should start with Bob in their next match) and Silva was atrocious further up the pitch. I don't really rate Busquets and he proved to be superfluous for this match. Their best line up should include Torres, Villa & Pedro up front with Iniesta & Xavi behind them, supported by Xabi. And Pepe between the sticks, of course.

So anyway... I think Pellegrini is the best option out there. Proved himself at a small club with limited resources, proved himself at a massive club with an interfering owner, knows the Spanish & South American market, gets his team playing superb attacking football and seems like a decent bloke. No compensation needed either.
