I take it Kuijt and Alves come off the bench for the customary second-half fightback?

World-cup one-tournament wonders (that I remember anyhoo): Salif Diao Saeed Al Owairan Norman Whiteside Toto Schillacci Paolo Rossi Any more?

Leaving. Rat. Ship. Sinking. ?

It is, it's p*ss-poor due to local apathy towards the Stadio Delle Alpi. Juve are Italy's 'unofficial' national side, so the TV interest will always be there: When their stadium was being redeveloped, they played some of their 'home' matches in various stadiums around the country (San Siro, Genoa etc) and sold-out easily. (I think they once held the record attendance at the San Siro) .

They didn't seem to mind relegating Fiorentina for mere 'financial mis-managment' a few year ago. They'll do something - huge points deductions maybe- if only to show the FIFA and UEFA that they're in control of their country's football. I'm not sure relegation will hurt Juve as much as everyone thinks; Their fanbase throughout Italy is immense - they played to packed houses from Parma to Palermo when they did a season's 'tour' of Italy a while back.

Mexico to the semis. Germany -after essentially being given a bye to the quarters - get battered by the first decent team they meet there. Brazil beaten by Japan.

To the mockers, I say; Boo! If it were a level-playing field financially I'm sure he'd choose us for footballing reasons: Better to be part of Rafa's two-striker attack than Maureen's big-man-up-front malarkey. But it isn't, so we can only dream.

You're not implying Kuyt is hedging his bets before being doomed to a career at the barcodes are you?

Aye, but the bit in the middle's been there since year dot. I guess Radford's only doing what his constituent's ask. But seriously, someone needs to ram his head into the mountain of consultation documents, reports and detailed proposals that's been generated by this scheme. A Merseyrail station on Stanley Park, with shuttle trains running on match days (blue and red) would help no end.

It's better than most, I'll grant you that. (PS: Use the guides )

That's just the Spain top with liverpool bits photo-shopped onto it. Badly.

Agree with that. However, in his defence I'd say he's been instrumental in us winning tight games - exactly why Rafa bought him in the first place. FWIW I don't think we'll see another 25-goal striker at the club whilst Rafa's manager. As others have pointed out; it's not his game.
