He really is nobody's child isn't he? I never did rate him to be honest.

Keane: Birmingham wanted publicity

so odd

That's the hurt talking because nobody loves him…

Agreed, the Two Escobars is incredible.  Even non soccer fans I've recommended it to thought it was incredible.

That Bent number is ridiculous.

Babel to The Hoff(enheim) have me a bit worried that Suarez is going to L'Pool.  I think Suarez is good, and I'm torn between that move and seeing him move to White Hart Lane.

Oh, and Vidic is a GIANT.

the suarez rumor is kind of interesting to me. ajax says its going to take a ton of cash and the player says he wants to win

i dont see 'pool looking to drop £20m+ on one player or winning anything this year. seems like an odd fit

I can't see any world class player wanting to go to Anfield at the moment. They are in such disarray and have no chance of Champions League next season. It will take a manager 5 years to clean up the spanish waiter's mess. Hodgson should've been given at least a year to see were he was going with it. I can't believe that the Kop are dictating who becomes manager.  Which is basically what's happening. Hodgson is only gone because the stupid fans didn't take a shine to him. The fans were beginning to turn on Fergie all those years ago, and look how that ended up?


How do you like this rumour?….Arry and Becks the next management team for England??? I think it might just work if Beckham wants to go the managerial route, which he has already said he doesn't but you never know.

I think Beck's thoughts on coaching changed dramatically when he couldn't play in the WC and sat on the bench next to Capello.  He's not going to be the best tactician, but he ha s good read of the game and the players.

….and lets not forget his pep-talk. "Right lads, play well and you get to knob a Spice Girl like me"

I am not man.  I am Cantona.

He must be bored with being a GOD.

so today newcastle have been linked with:
steven ireland
clint dempsey

and a takeover from vince mcmahon

cant even type it without laughing

I would take Stephen Ireland at MAN U in a heartbeat.

even if he was a shit footballer, the pictures online are enough for me to want him at the toon

Rumour has it Toon has rejected a 30mil bid for Carroll by scum! I would've snatched their stupid scouse arm off. As for Carroll, he could buy a lot of whores to slap around with his cut of 30mil so you know he's pissed off.

Should be a fun last day before the window closes. You'd think the big spenders would be lining up for Bale…

the issue with carroll is the player doesnt want to go

they need to replace him, and an average prem striker costs £15m in jan. add a few million for it being an 11th hour deal and youre looking at an awful lot of trouble for the remaining £10-12m (plus higher wages) and an awful lot of risk

having said all that, i bet he's off today

Any player of quality with an eye on the long-term future will have no interest in going to pikeypool. In fact, they're looking to get out of that shit-hole. Except Gerrard but he's a fucking moron.

its crazy

liverpool are no better off than us
they have no idea who their manager is going to be next year
they arent in the champions league
they have a really hard task to get there next year
they still need at least 4-5 more players in the summer

i get that £35m is a lot of money, but to sell our best player with no one near that level coming back in is reckless

also ireland failed his medical

Is there a punchline or is that true?

seen the failed medical a couple of places, so it sounds true. nothing official yet

latest is we've rejected a £35m bid  :o

still think he's off though
