What about the naming of the stands? Anyone got any ideas? Are they gonna be called where they back onto or should we go for naming stands after players/managers?

Was just gonna post the same thing! Very insightful look back at his career.

Here's the info from Radio City The building work has barely begun, but Radio City can exclusively reveal plans for Liverpool?s new stadium could be yanked from the drawing board. The Reds? new owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have ordered a thorough review of the ground. The reason? They?re considering adding an extra 20,000 seats. A meeting was held last night and it?s thought they now want to build an all-seater to outstrip Old Trafford. A decision that is welcomed by Les Lawson from the Reds? Official Supporters Club, he said: ?It?s no use to go along with the stadium when it could be improved and made better. ?There?s exciting times ahead for Liverpool and Liverpool supporters, the future?s looking very good. The more people we can get in to see the Reds play the better.? No firm decision has been made so far. But Dave Joyce, from construction firm JYM Partnership, who ran the rule over problems at the new Wembley, tells us inevitably this kind of move does lead to delay. He told Radio City: ?If a project initially has been designed to hold 60,000 and then they want to extend it to 80,000 that wouldn?t be a problem. ?But if the building was designed for only 60,000 then you have to start a redesign, go back to the planning applications so six-months extra would be minimum.?

Funny you should mention Mario Gomes as Talking Soccer, Tribal Football and Fans FC have all got links about us, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barca and Juve all being interested in him!

That's unbelieveable, I thought you were joking then had a look on the official site and there it was: LATE LIPPI CALL FOR FOWLER AND ZENDEN Mark Platt 13 March 2007 Robbie Fowler and Bolo Zenden have received late call-ups to Marcello Lippi's European select squad for tonight's double celebration match at Old Trafford. Fowler and Zenden will join Liverpool team-mates Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard in the star-studded side that takes on Manchester United. Lippi has drawn on some of the top names from across the continent for a game that marks two jubilees ? the 50th anniversary of the treaty of Rome and Manchester United's half-century of participation in European competition. United director Bobby Charlton says: "I look forward to welcoming so many stars and friends to Old Trafford to celebrate these two significant anniversaries." All proceeds from the night will go to charity.

Far play to Mancini then, very versatile!

Maicon is the Brazilian RB who plays in Italy, for Inter I think, who you might be getting him confused with?

This season's performances, Bent. 41 Apps for Shevchenko 11 goals only 3 in the PL. 26 Apps for Bent 11 goals 9 in the PL. Take into account their age, hunger, ability to adapt to the English game and their current performances for their current teams (one in an awful side yet scoring regularly, the other in a top 2 side with much higher quality players yet failing in the PL, our bread and butter).

And they had Lille in the last round!

Weren't a lot of his goals penalties tho and we all know they don't count!!

And follow Jose to Spain?

Don't Real Madrid have the new Batistuta in Higuain and getting the new Roberto Carlos, Marcelo?

He has undoubted pace and good dribbling ability but really needs to work on his delivery both from open play and set pieces. Far too often he hits the first man or scuffs his cross.

Are they televised or is it just the final?

Where's Xabi when you need him?

A fine and warning about their future conduct no doubt.

And how do you score more goals, by getting that clinical striker!! Seriuosly tho our away column is pretty poor for goals scored.

We really should be scoring more with the chances/shots we have. We would have won more games had we taken our chances in certain games and it shown in tight games that we need a clinical striker, esepcially away from home where we haven't scored enough goals. -------------------------------Home------------------------Away --------------------Played--------------Scored-----Played--------Scored League------------15----------------------29--------14--------------15 CL (incl Quals)----5-----------------------10--------5----------------6 League Cup-------2------------------------7---------1----------------1 FA Cup-------------1-----------------------1 Charity Shield-----------------------------------------1----------------2 Totals--------------23----------------------47---------21---------------24

The season before we bought Finnan he was voted in the PL Team of the Season. Now over the last 2 years I would say he's probably playing at a higher level than he ever was at Fulham yet gets next to no recognition what so ever.

Maybe Rafa will use the remaining games to get him to a certain level of fitness and back playing football, hope he can stay fit then give him an intensive period of fitness/strengthening training over the summer and pre-season. The again he might just get him to a certain level of fitness so he can be sold......

There are THESE from the Official Site.

He did shout at Kuyt at one point "F***ing pass it" just after Kuyt had dithered on the ball in the box when Bellamy was square of him.

Carragher Finnan Gerrard

Or they can even win 1-0!

Outta the 3 strikers we're being linked to from Spain I think Eto'o will suit the PL the best. He doesn't have family ties in Spain like Villa so won't find it as big a wrench to leave and he has the pace and strength that the PL demands more so than either Villa or Torres. He is also a more direct player something which our current strikers lack. I wouldn't be unhappy at any of them joining us tho!!
