Paul B

Good point, eye off the ball and all that.

No, no, that's fine. Anything manly like that is acceptable. It's the hysterical "dish it out but can't take it back" brigade of hypocrites that get me. Sing about him being a fan of incest and then scream blue murder (from the safety of the stands or an internet chat -room) and demand something is done if he laughs back at you, that's just sad that. Like we both said at the time, we understood his actions.

To be honest, I sincerely hope people don't sing that awful song about his family members throughout the game and then act all outraged if he does something "Neville-ish". If you're going to dish it out, please be man enough to take it when it comes back to you.

Our Liam went and he reckons Anderson is the real deal.

Yes, fight fans, Gary Neville will celebrate his 31st birthday with his good friends from Liverpool if the 5th round FA cup tie is played, as expected, on the Saturday. Now I want you all to give Manchester's favourite son a real Scouse welcome when he runs on to the pitch for that game. Happy Birthday, Gary. Also, has anyone mentioned we haven't beaten these soap-dodgers in the FA cup since 1921? Revenge is LOOOONG overdue.

Carragher doesn't need a rest. Carragher is super-human. Provided we keep him away from Kryptonite, he'll be fine.

No, we DID know it was his last game. That's why we were clapping. The thoughts of him never appearing at Anfield again was most appealing. Most appealing.

Why, are your guts still bad?

He's just said (in response to a question about his squad number), "Numbers mean nothing to me, it's the badge on the front of the shirt that means everything."

Johnny needs an injection of optimism. Come on, lad! This is what we wanted. Winners want the best and biggest teams. Why the banana of Colchester? How will that increase the profile of the most successful club in British history? I want Chelsea in the next round as well. Let's win it the hard way.

Man's got it! Don't be so soft. This is the one we all wanted. Though cowards scoff and traitors sneer etc...

Ah, the drama of the FA cup. Best competition in the world. Isn't it? Mmmm?

We'll make them most welcome. Most welcome.

Let's hope it's not a home draw. It takes me weeks to get the smell of that place out of my clothes.

Who's that then? Him with the big grin and all them houses?

Be giving it the big one, Gary?

While the Championship Manager-type computer games sell so well, then yes, sadly, we probably do.

Also, top class musicians can struggle when given poor music to play. I think the same applies to football teams. Put a Rolls Royce like the currect Liverpool side up against bad roads, and it'll drive less well than when it's on a smooth motorway (good opposition). Welcome it, it's a sign we are headed in the right direction.

Wouldn't wish too hard for Colchester. They are an outstanding team this season but we'd still never live it down if it was to be another Burnley. I'd go for Chelsea away rather than the Essex side.

Watch it. I used to be a member of the Anny Road Barmy Army. A finer group of men never walked the earth.

No we don't, we've got one. He's ginger and his name's Riise and he's been playing on the left for us up to now, you may have noticed him? Let's convert him in the way Paisley converted Ray Kennedy. Football genius, that's me.

Now that made me chuckle.
