Indeed we could really f*** em tomorrow and go with a 3, Agger Carra Hyypia, with Riise and Finnan at wing back, then Gerrard, Xabi and Zenden in the middle. However, Rafa if you're reading this, I have had 5 Stella and a bottle of red, so be careful.

This lad has been heavily linked with Chelsea also.

I think at the moment with Carson, its the Kirkland thing over again. He's getting chances to make loads of saves because he's playing in a poor team where he gets a lot of work. Different kettle of fish playing for us. Looked very good in the highlights, but I don't see him challenging Reina in the near future.

Flange.

Pennant was a bit better today. Early days. His first touch is incredible and he has all the attributes. Too early to make a decision I think.

or even 1. Kowt 2. Koyt 3. Krowt.

Every time I see him, he misses opportunities to play advantage. There were other strange decisions today. Don't like him as a ref at all.

I challenged this one and its been removed now. b******s that scum make money of his name from gullible people.

I was right in the corner of the upper anny and its just looked like a push, thought Riise was being soft - obviously realised it wasn't when he ran off the pitch Did the fella proper stick the nut on him then?

I agree, but then I would.

From where I was yesterday it was about as good as its been for a league game this season. Still not great though. And to the halfwit 20 stone yorkshire bird behind me who shouted "Getartafit" everytime Vill went in our half, f*** OFF.

Here's where they got the "story"

My Dad's very clever

You'd rather an Alvin Martin or Gary Stevens synopsis of the game? He's a refreshing presence amidst all the nondescript "journalism" that constitutes 606 etc

My old man knows him from his childhood. Reckons he's a decent bloke, but perhaps not the sharpest tool in the box. Think he got expelled from the school they were at or something.

That's just silly.

credit to one section of the kop for keeping the Rafa chants up for long parts of the match.

I heard it on the way home. Stuart Hall is as mad as a bucket of frogs.

I also thought Xabi was very good, few misplaced passes, and a strange Gerrard like surge into the box at one point. Kuyt's the man for me though. Was watching his movement. He never stands still - must be a nightmare to mark.

Big piece by Martin Lipton quoting an unnamed board member (smells of Morgan to me) that Rafa has wasted money and wages on players (uses Kuyt as an example!) and that the board aren't happy with him and his methods (rotation, gerrard unhappy etc) If Morgan is doing this to destabilise things he's playing a dangerous game. History proves Rafa will walk if this sort of stuff happens. Can't find the story on the net.
