On national radio he suggested that it was not a sincere gesture, but a calculated, cynical one to keep the fans on his side; and argued that nor was it that much given the size of the payoff he got from the club.

Lineker in Twitter is generally spot on, be has a good, sociable perrsonality and style for TV and avoids the worst failings of most of the usual suspects mentioned here. His reputation if you are a young woman working with him is another thing, by many accounts. Shearer has upped his game recently - not least under the spotlight of Alex Scott alongside him - but surely his 5Live co-commentary of the Barcelona game offers full redemption? Murphy is still bitter at Benitez, his comments about his contribution to the Justice Fund were a disgrace, potentially actionable.

He certainly does. Along with Ian Wright and Shearer, they absolutely drool over those crosses, as any quality striker should.

That shot felt like the Alien invasion in Hitchhikers Guide - real heart in the mouth moment until it became clear that, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog big lad in goal could just reach up and catch it.

Well this is the new Home Screen on my phone sorted... <p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nLptWYaIS7y2O-5e9kpU2ljAkFQj1WL_Lwi0vG4GEe1-fK-oR9yyRNJQanhuc0jkQlmTsH35KQPQ5HOq4jkeJ_Pcw6z8ONyO9fSghUuKwJxB9PRvgJ3ABR-A4Dy1QFsZ7Gn7_Y5FVJO74tHaXOQ6C67rbhu0zMQM8qrctzQMyiF0-woUphV_sTmE-mVIef96zp80eL4_xJ7uic3I8fIfgN5CIsbYyDIdgYlL9IwY6BrIM8mWdrPUsMkXrjB0kUvkuaqWHN4pvZLHp8AGEZIQSJX4VHRTF9KQyHILvVykdn2rk4EYjw0rhr2d1nGFkKhfgCnTccRqaSYO4yCTuXXRExd8gkTe57S7nHiDiyl-U-A1NWCxFpIBEe73JmE8qsPDRpdIO4LWVJEz_TlvrDRqdvZL1u4GIaXGwEb-oEQnokcrkOZY2T6DBX7at_268nYXmVyLoqVRap5fvebX_kyinL_sE8fPmnYusVDO59mZJjOvJLEdAStcGA49W_GZ76hdX7bgRIBOuNQjwwWSyRXUxznDEYyAMQCLb2eLTig5yVM07eZCnZklC0qzx6CX_xRLrI3co7a9kdzTyO0nlzQhqZa3hNOfWxwNnQlCeOAoQzzr0uVm7o3h60LLzknGf6ZtcRVSxxfLGlhJrQZO536ess7dZJj8yPi5=w550-h977-no"/></p>

Particularly in 30 degrees heat and 100% humidity.

Especially the dummied pause then acceleration, and Erickson clearly just thought ah, f*** it and gave up

Tbf, Rio Ferdinand called it right for any Utd fans getting arsey. The 2008 final was a shocker, he agreed, but he couldn't have cared less.

At least another hour or so I would guess

Which, if accurate, undermines any claims about their performance. A few bitty chances dealt with professionally. Milner, Robbo attempts were better. Lots don't seem to realise how much better we now are at game management, comfortable in control of opponents. Not saying we couldn't have been better going forward, but we're rarely stretched, always in front and lasted the full 90 in 30 degrees. Really professional performance in so many ways.

Showed class in his sympathetic chats with Kane and Poch.

Technically not, I presume - no pubs in Norris Green by design originally. Plenty like the WA on the borders, though; Croxteth I would guess. Went to a quiz night there once but had to roll it back in case we won.

I think both Rivera and Mazzola were 10s. Once saw a really interesting documentary about them, which pointed out they often didn't play together for Italy, as they wouldn't compromise tactical shape to shoehorn both in, even though they were 2 of the best players in the world. Rivera was sublime.
