Maybe Auxerre in 91/92?

That's awful, really terrible news, RIP Jan...

Very good

Fantastic news, and a big thanks for all the accurate updates!

I prefer this one to the weasel.. Melchett - "Use any method you see fit - I'd personally recommend you get hold of a cocker spaniel, tie the suspect to a chair with a potty on his head, pop his todger between two floury baps and shout, 'Dinner time, Fido!'"

I think Spearing will be Maschs replacement this year and perhaps long term. He's very similar but perhaps a slightly better passer?

I think he'll play 4-3-3 .. Idantje Finnan Hobbs Hyppia Aurelio Alonso Sissoko Lucas Voronin Crouch Babel

He totally ridiculed our chances of signing Eto last week, basically said that Eto would only be interested in going to two clubs and neither were Liverpool.

Apparently his nickname is "Sheasy" pronounced Shazy, someone text into Off the Ball the other night and said it's because he's Sh*t and lazy.

The Celta Vigo team in 98 gave us a total lesson too, Mostovoi and Karpin ran us ragged

I think in fairness to Giles we were all wondering about the team before it lined out, I mean not many expected Arbelola to line out at left back? Giles did say he really likes Benitez, that he has more class than all the other managers in the premier league but his tactics bemuse him.

What was the name of that place in Fr. Ted where the sent the Hairy hands victims - Saint Clabberts or something?

I thought Pepe was his best mate ?

I wouldn't play Pennant in this match, he p*ssed me off the other night with his petulance - gave the ball away for their goal then did his best to get booked. I would go with 3-5-2, Reina-Carra,Hyppia,Agger-Finnan,Riise,Gerrard,Alonso,(Sissoko or Zenden),Crouch and Kuyt.

Wasn't there rumours that he was campaigning against us being allowed to compete in the Champions League after not qualifying but winning it ? We haven't a hope the Mascherano if this was the case.
