Michael

Even if he is ready to start playing in the next few weeks how long would he need to be match fit? He couldn't be thrown into a CL game. We tried that before when he was unfit and ended up.................er winning the whole thing. Bring him back

Roma v Man Utd will be interesting to see who dives more, Ronaldo or Totti. United could well find themselves conceding a highly dubious penalty in Rome and I bet Ferguson will then be out screaming about cheating.

I had a really vivid dream last night that we lost the CL final 3-2 to Bayern Munich after leading twice.

I would assume that they have done their homework on him and with them both knowing their own limitations concerning football they will probably have sought the opinions of people who know the game. The interesting thing would be to know who these people are. There are plenty of journalists, media pundits etc who have a different agenda from that of Liverpool supporters. Moores and Parry will no doubt have given Rafa a glowing reference, but as they brought him to the club that may limit the influence of their views with Gillett and Hicks. The most positive thing Rafa could do (and he appears to be doing it) is lay out his vision and demands for the club when he meets them. I get the impression from the little I have seen of both co-owners that they want a single-minded, determined man to run the team. The more impressed they are with him the more they are likely to support his plans financially and then leave him alone to implement them.

Posted on a Newcastle board: "1) I have NEVER left a match before final whistle. 2) I have NEVER even left the boozer before the televised game is over. 3) I sat through the Birmingham humiliation surronded by their fans and fck 'em throughout. But this is the most fckn woeful, spineless performance I've seen in years. Utter drivel. So I've left the pub, and fck them." I don't think they are happy.

That's probably cocaine. Fat Freddie told them he wanted to be high in the table this year and it's the only way they can oblige.

Didn't he also ascertain that David Moyes used the computer a lot, but had a smaller thumb size and a stickier screen?

Chelsea v Valencia in CL QFs = they encourage rumour of very large bid for Villa. Had they drawn us the rumour would be about Gerrard again. As for Owen at £12m, we would need to factor in another £11,999,999-99 for the insurance payment. I actually wouldn't hold his past against him even though I disliked him for what he did to us (IMO), but I can't help thinking the rest of his career will see him plagued by injuries, both major and minor and his constant lay offs will only disrupt any team he plays for (part time).

Maybe, but we shall probably spend about forty million in the summer to win us the league whereas they have spent close to half a billion. Our title will come on the cheap.

We have the best Argentine of the lot in Mascherano and time will prove that.

Well seeing as they made such a big fuss at the draw today about Athens hosting it, dragging out the mayor to present him with the cup for safekeeping, having booked the stadium and made all the financial arrangements and the UEFA delegates on a nice freebie to the Greek capital, in a word: NO! Also, when it was an all Italian final a few years ago, it was still held at Old Trafford.

Even if United reached the final, this is what always happens:

Are Braga deliberately wearing an old Arsenal kit to wind up Spurs?

Those two are wasted on football punditry. They were born to star in Beckett's plays at the Old Vic.

I took that as understood

Away goals count double for the whole game including extra time. Unfortunately not for penalties

Wenger should have played the kids as the grown-ups are silly.

That will give Platini all the ammunition he needs. Mind you, had it been four Italian teams, he would have change tack pretty quickly. Damn beaten to it. I thought you would be cleaning your cooker Ok Alex has just prevented the aforementioned scenario

I would like to see the chavs get the mancs, whilst we slip by unnoticed into the semis against a continental team. That is of course if English teams can draw one another before the semis. Arsenal? More a question of who will get PSV

Well he'll be a hell of player once he reaches puberty.
