2-0 Liverpool. Pennant.

1-0 Liverpool. Kuyt.

Well, the original thread i saw said he has died this evening in a car accident and that the media haven't released it because his family are yet to be informed. I didn't think much of it until that admin started a new thread saying he'd been told seperate information too. Let's hope it is just a sick rumour.

Rumours have been circulating on GG.net that he's died in a serious car accident http://www.gg-chat.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=68494 Just rubbish, i suppose.

If Celtic are offering a fee and we have another right-back lined up, i'd be happy to see him go. If not, however, no matter how bad he is, we shouldn't be looking to rid of one of the few defenders we have. Babayaro is the only left-back at the club; i wouldn't want anybody to take him off our hands.

'Given outed as cheat as evidence of magnetic gloves surfaces.'

So it doesn't make you the slightest bit peeved that we could of improved all 4 positions of the defence for half the price of Luque? I don't think that's what he's getting at!

I thought Terry was supposed to have told King 'Shut it you lippy black monkey'.

Davenport, Upson and Neill? Looks like Ferdidnand is on his way out, let's hope he's not heading up here.

Not much, in my opinion. He's not particularly tactically astute nor does he excel in man management or motivational skills. I thought it was a dreadful appointment at the time and, depsite him doing marginally better than i expected so far (taking injuries into account), i've seen nothing to change my mind.

Given Solano Ramage Huntington Edgar Milner Butt Emre Luque Dyer Martins If Luque isn't leaving in this window, few could argue he should be getting games when we clearly have nobody better.

quite. if everyone was fit, he wouldn't make the starting eleven. Wouldn't he? He's by far the most effective right winger we have in the squad. Chances are Dyer would be on the right and Duff on the left. If everyone's fit (very unlikely): Given Nobby Taylor Ramage Hunty Dyer Parker Emre Duff/Zoggy Owen Martins Harper/Krul Edgar Butt Milner Zoggy/Duff ****** Ameobi/Le Sib * We will always have a few injuries though and need to rest players too, so the versatile Milner at the moment is quite rightly almost always going to get in the team. I also like Dyer behind Martins but if Owen comes back on form we are not in a position to drop any of those three if playing well. Its nice to have three quality CM's in Parker Butt and Emre because of injuries, suspensions and having to rest at least one of them now and again. Why do Parker & Emre remain your first choice partnership in midfield? Not only do they play horribly together, but Butt has probaly been our best player this season. As for Dyer, he's relatively anonymous on the right. I would have him playing just off of Martins. Whilst your Butt argument is a very good one and i agree that Butt has been in good form lately, i do not agree that Parker and Emre play 'Horribly' together. I also really like the Dyer/ Martins pairing up front at the moment they look great together, but if Owen comes back then surely your not suggesting not playing Owen?? or is your line up a 433 without Wingers? i.e. Given Defence Parker Butt Emre Dyer Owen Martins If everyone was fit, i would line them up something like this.. Given Solano Taylor Moore Huntington Milner Butt Dyer N'Zogbia Owen Martins I obviously hope we have better defenders than Moore and Huntington available by the time Owen is fit, though.

Tbh, if Butt's goal today from a Martins pass had been an Henry goal from a Fabregas pass, it would have won goal of the month. Exactly. Can you imagine if Scholes had scored Taylor's goal? It would have undoubtedly been awarded goal of the season, instead it doesn't even win goal of the month!

Pattison 6 Milner 6 Butt 4 Dyer 4 What an absolute joke, nevermind the Tottenham ratings.

Great final. By the way, how on earth did Ray Stubbs become a TV presenter? He's absolutely horrendous.

What a comeback... Even if he's to lose it now.

Absolutely brilliant.

Martins' movement has been terrible, again. Prime example there: Solano plays the ball into space, Martins stands still looking at it, whilst screaming like a child. Excellent. Edit: Haha, might let him off.
