To be fair (sic), there isn't much between Cech and Reina. (I would have had Reina, based on what I have seen). Finnan over that c**t Neville is a no brainer. He has been far superior to any right back by a mile. The rest of the team is pretty much spot on, apart from Gallas at left back. Gardner has done very well, but Gallas is superb in comparison

Agree wholeheartedly. Perfect summary at a very poignant time This debate can run and run, but it always produces the same result - Stalemate.

I can't believe that will influence his decision. The only reasons for not keeping Fowler, would be that he signs players who offer more qualities than Fowler does. I'd keep him. He scores goals and has had a positive impact since he signed. I think Morientes and Cisse will be off with 2 other strikers brought in. Kuyt and Owen would be an improvement in my opinion.

Personally, think he's overrated from the number of games I have watched over the years. He has a lot of talent, but is very inconsistent. This season he has been woeful at times. Betis have been very poor, but top players assume responsibility at times like that, not disappear. Judging from what i've said above, looks like he will fit in really well at Madrid.

i dont think so, i'm pretty sure it was an extension of the previous deal. if i remember correctly, the deal expired last season and we actively searched for new sponsorship. we couldnt find any and as a result extended the current deal. i could be wrong, but i'm sure thats a very basic breakdown of what happened.

He has the capacity to be world class and shows it in flashes over the past couple of years. But, he has suffered from a succession of short term injuries over the past couple of years that have hindered his development. Plus, he has been playing in a team, which has fallen considerably from the heights they achieved in the from 2000 to 2004. IMO, he needs a new challenge. not sure whether he would be suitable for English football, but he has always struck me as an exceptional talent with a tough streak about him.

they did, for 2 years. starting at the end of last seaon.

fantastic home record according to those stats. potentially the best yet. only conceding 7 goals is a phenomenal record, considering we conceded 4 in one match.

The PFA nominations will already be in by now. They are normally submitted by February. Tough call this year. Dont think any one player has been substantially better than others. Think Carragher and Gerrard should both be shortlisted, but I reckon Terry or Lampard will win it. Rooney and Joe Cole are probably the only other players in with a chance imo.

Houllier is far to good for that sh*ithouse club and their equally sh*t house fans FFS he looks like he's going to win the French League and may win the Champions League. They should hire Steve Bruce and they can laud another Geordie who wins f*ck all

Good! It will make the evening more enjoyable.

that is correct.

1) Mini Pavarotti at the bar near Taxsim Square the night before the game. Very funny 2) Seeing a Chelsea fan wearing his colours at a bar near the Blue Mosque, the morning of the game. We were sat with a group of Milan fans, who saw him first and launched into a rousing rendition of "F**k of Chelsea, F**k off Chelsea" in their finest English. 3) In the taxi on the way to the game, seeing all the improvised methods of transport. Seeing a guy sat on the back of a TNT couriers motorbike was a highlight. 4) Bumped into a guy that I knew outside the ground, hadn't seen him for 3 years. I was wearing my liverpool shirt and he asked me what i was doing there!?!

this was mentioned on another site yesterday too. seems that the rumours are gathering pace. i havent really seen enough of him to comment, but he has looked promising when they have shown Seville on Sky Sports. any idea what type of fee we would be looking at Pat?

cant speak for others, but dredging up the past is not a positive or meaningful thing to bring up (by any fans, i might add). agree that all clubs have w*****s as supporters, but lately, some Utd fans do seem to feel the need to bring up every Liverpool indiscretion, big or small. not sure why this is the case.

that wont happen as we'll win both next season

agreed. no problems whatsoever. in fact, most fans are very positive about liverpool fans that they have come across. examples can be seen with betis and benfica fans this season.

forgot one when i put my original fave goal down. fowlers goal against Villa at Anfield, when he backheeled the ball through Staunton's legs and then hit a cracker into the corner from 25 yards out. special goal from a talent on top of his game.

Stunning goal that was. We could create a great list of goals from that season alone. Barnes 2 goals against QPR at home, Nicol's 25 yard header at Arsenal, etc

Would have said Owen's goal against Arsenal, but one of my other favourite goals, was scored by John Aldridge against N Forest in the 1988 FA Cup Semi Final. Great wing play by Barnes, one-two with Beardsley, fantastic first time ball in the box and John Aldridge with flying volley into top left hand corner. We were on fire that season. Stunning team goal. Love seeing flowing team moves like that. Shows how beautiful football can be, when played with speed and skill

Spot on. The penalty against Barcelona in the UEFA semi-final was perfect, considering the pressure.
