Bugger, the wifes just woken me up!

Excellent. 3-0 half time, Keane hatrick. Rome here we come!

I hope Rafas taken his "Beckham boot" he got off ebay.

WTF was that from Plessis? He must have heard the Rambo reference!

Anyone know a good joke?

F**k the Olympics, get Masch home!!

Zonal marking debate Do any of these muppets know our defensive record under Rafa. Oh, and Keane seems to have inherited Cisse's first touch

Well, Martin O'Neill for a kick off.

So we should just bend over and pay it when we dont agree with it? Even more brilliant.

Well clearly not if thats the conclusion you've reached.

Rafa pour his heart out over a quiet pint then did he?

Says who, the News of the feckin World?? Most noise and lack of from within this summer suggests otherwise but we're all prepared to believe some bloody tinpot rag at the drop of a hat?

Makes me laugh here sometimes. Whenever an article is pro Liverpool ts good jounalism. Whenever one is having a pop at any aspect then its labelled "crap" , "poor" , "lazy jounalism" or whatever. The ability of some of you lot to be taken in by paper articles as gospel feckin amazes me. Clearly much of this is brinkmanship in the transfer dealing process. Im not fawning over the owners, far from it, but youk cant deny they are backing Rafa in the market. Whether we end up with Barry, Silva or AN Other, they have backed him and he will have spent significantly. I'd still rather have them gone but some of the crap I read on here is laughable. Also, one comment on the Alonso situation which seems to have passed people by. I think there may well be something in this Alonso "engineering a secret move" stuff, heard something tentively suggested a while ago. Also, when it looked like he was going to Juve, Xabi's comments were all posiive about possibly joining such a great club. Now that has collapsed and there are few other suitors, its all porr Xabi being forced out of the club. Im not saying anything against him as a player, he's quality, but lets stop this nonsense that he's blissfully happy and would never consider leaving if he wasnt being forced out, as its clearly tosh.

Mental picture of Parry logged on to the internet banking facility of NatWest pressing F5 all afternoon to see if the dollars have arrived from Chase Manhatten.

Absolutely. He's a complete bellend.

F**k the game, why cant we have cool dugouts with Recaro seats

Bostin.

Good work GW. Nice use of "who has been linked in previous articles" just to be on the safe side

Couldnt agree moe mate. 7 subs, league cup, injuries coupled with his undoubted ability, I was hoping we'd see a bit of him in the first team this year. Give the lad a chance.

Cantona

If there's even the merest hint of truth in that I'll set the dogs on you. And for f**k sake dont tell Kev

Oh how times change. I remember when a good summer was a week in Devon in the Zephyr. Now it has to be making twelvety million. But is he happy, I mean really?

22 in 74 games for Johnson and he's worth 12 million That means Keane's a snip at 18. and Torres is worth 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 ish

"Excuse me sir, sir. Liverpool just picked on me in the playground." "What happened?" "Well I tried to be smart and play with the big boys. So they gave me a good hiding." Grow up Levy you small time child.
