Dead ball? - With Carroll on board we should be a lot more handy dealing with dead balls - he's great in the air! Still need some one to dominate the air in defence a and a bit more bite about midfield (maybe suarez can help by dropping back pardon the pun). Doubt Johnson will stay at left back so we still need someone to take that position and maybe Johnson will be the supply from the midfield.

Just class! Needs time but what a pick me up for tomorrows game! Up tha Reds!

Cole NGog Jovanovich Defence didn't put a foot wrong but they were under no pressure at all except in the last minute.

Pure class from Rafa. I'm sure he has a million things to be thinking about with the impending move to Milan but to do this on the first day back is sheer class.

If soto hadn't been sent off earlier in the season he would have been still first choice. Fair play to him for still being able to put in that performance.

Exhibit A would include Aurelio as probably first choice after great periods of play last year. Riise was gash in his last few seasons and Insua is as good going forward as Riise and as bad defending at the moment. Insua is being targeted and doesn't have the cover at the minute that babel is providing and also aerially that we're missing since hyypia left.

A big NO. Does Kev forget Madrid, old toilet and humping martin Oneill last year - yes the team are playing badly but a run of wins will soon shut u up! A win away in Europe and this thread happens - locco!

YNWA Rest In Peace

Yep - the guy that used to be on Blue peter said so!

They said before the break that Hicks and Gillette had sold and now after the break - Hicks has sent an email to the reporter saying no deal had been done!

Sky talk crap again!

3-5-2 Maybe?

Too many passengers in the crowd as well. We were on top that whole game and the only noise came from about 200 wigan fans.

Anyone see his presentation to the press - he's the most laid back person ever or indeed he just isn't interested in football at all!

another rocket from Riise - looks like Heinze has him spooked!

Marseille have the funds for Cisse now - hopefully they can stump up the money they agreed at the start of the season!!!! Ribery off to Bayern - Sky Sports Bayern Munich expect to complete the signing of Marseille star Franck Ribery on Thursday. The clubs are believed to have agreed a ?25million (£17million) deal for the France international, which would make Ribery the most expensive player in Bayern's history. "We just have a few details to settle, but the deal should be made on Wednesday," Marseille chairman Pape Diouf told L'Equipe. "Ribery will leave for Munich on Thursday to have his medical and sign the contract. Bayern have always acted in a perfectly fair way since they declared their interest. "When the player agreed to go to Bayern and our financial conditions were accepted, it was out of the question to imagine him going to any other club." Ribery is expected to agree a four-year deal. Diouf also confirmed that the money earned from the deal should allow Marseille to complete a deal for France striker Djibril Cisse. "At the weekend or early next week, we will negotiate with Liverpool to try to keep Djibril Cisse." Barcelona midfielder Ludovic Giuly recently hinted to a French radio station that he was eager to replace Ribery at Marseille, but Diouf claims nothing has yet been agreed. "It is a just a vague appeal from the Barcelona player so far. We have to see what the conditions of the deal would be. "But I have to be clear: we won't overpay anyone."
