I can see us having a mediocre start to the season with lots of draws while our new players become familiar with Rafa's tactics. I can also see us being way behind the league leaders after the first month. A lot of moaning is to expected. But we will crawl up the standings quickly and eventually finish in the top 3. I'm hoping for the title, I expect a top 4-finish. Finishing outside the CL-places would be a failure.

Seems logical. But as I'm wearing my Alonso-shirt right now for the first time this year I will not let that happen

I think 1 eternal flame is enough. The second one lookes like it's the setting the Liverbird's backside on fire. What happens if it farts?

"Patrick" + "Figaro" = Patricio Figueroa

Bring back Pegguy Arphexad or Jorgen Nielsen

While some papers have mentioned Dudek to AZ Alkmaar in a deal worth 1 mio pounds, Alkmaar have also enquired about Croatian keeper Joey Didulica of Austria Wien. Didulica would come a lot cheaper.

Warum steht ihr Briten nur so auf die deutsche Sprache?

Netherlands (defeating France) 3rd place: Brazil - Serbia & Montenegro

No 217 (Sasa Ilic) is the last one missing Hopefully I'll get thim tomorrow via trade

Rafa said a few weeks ago that he'd like to have training camp in Switzerland again. He also mentioned that if possible no trips to the USA, Japan etc. will be made, so they can fully concentrate on the coming season (and after a long WC). A friendly in Austria/Switzerland seems a sure thing.

"His main target for this position plays in Europe" Well, nearly every top-player from around the world is playing in Europe this summer

It seemed to me that his medal was gone...

He had won the award for Young player of the year, which is by no means a prestigious award. I didn't know about it before I heard that he will move to Liverpool. He played in the 2nd highest division here, but his place in the squad was taken by the star of the league, so he came off the bench quite often. The main reason for his rise was his performance in some youth-tournament (national squad), where LFC-scouts were very impressed. I'm glad to see that he's back after a long injury. And I hope he realizes that he it's better for his career to learn football at a superb academy like Liverpool's, instead of going back and rotting on the subs bench in Austria. His contract runs for 2 years. He might be more involved next season. He also seems to be a good lad.

Very good books I enjoyed reading: Darren Phillips "Better than the Brazilians" Kevin Sampson: "Away Days" Amazon Kevin Sampson: "Extra Time" Amazon

Obscene language on BBC commentary: 1437: Kewell cuts in from the right to hit a cross-c**-shot that flashes across the Bolton goal.

It's the day the scapegoats score! First Neville, then Garcia and now Kewell.

Kilbane booked for foul on Alonso. Is there any space left in the ref's little black book?

Just at the right time! Now Rafa can lecture the rest of the team how to approach the 2nd half with 1:0 up.

NEVILLE SCORES!!

It seems to me that all UK-refs are primadonnas and above that like to have a chat with the players. This is not the case in other countries.

Where were you, Pepe, when I wanted you to sign a pennant during PreSeason? You left all the waiting fans for dead, headed straight into the team-bus and spentan entirely 90 minutes watching all the other players signing autographs instead of joining them.

Moyes to Newcastle = Bruce to Everton

s***! Sitting in the office and not one of the streaming programs is working...

No Agger on the bench Apart from that it's a very strong lineup.
