It looks 100% moody to me. The autographs look like the work of one person. Get any eleven people to sign something and some will have a more expressive signature then others. The one's on that shirt are very similar looking and there more or less the same size. Try putting it on Ebay squire and see if that fairy tale of it coming from someone who's worked at the Bridge for 30 years rings true.

What Blatter did was ingratiate the smaller nations. Every one got a vote so all he did was get the smaller nations onside by bunging them loads of money. A vote from the Sudan has the same weight as a vote from Brazil and Germany. So when it came to the election Blatter would win because he didn't have to rely on the likes of Germany, Spain, England etc voting for him. There's a bloke called Chuck Blazer who was a high ranking F.I.F.A. official who had two apartments in Trumps Towers one for himself the other one for his cats!. He's after getting his collar felt by the F.B.I. and is going to give evidence against F.I.F.A. The alarm bells about corruption in F.i.F.A have been going on for years but as soon as Russia and Qatar won the next two world cups well that was the final straw for most people. Especially Qatar winning and just the logistical nightmare that will bring affecting domestic football all around Europe never mind the ethics of Qatar actually winning the bid.

Had to laugh when i saw that Tottenham's pre season tour match in Malaysia has only sold 19,000 tickets. The fans are calling them circus matches and that's very apt when some clowns from N17 are turning up. Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all sold out 80,000 stadiums in Malaysia but i suppose the visit of Tottenham is like being promised the Rolling Stones and one of those shit tribute bands turn up. Frankly if Tottenham were playing in my back garden i'd draw the curtains.

Pretty vague that squire. Don't worry about it.

Azalea?

To bring up a three year old quote is pedantic and childish.

Well for a start he's from London and started supporting Liverpool in 1980 when they were the dominant team in the country. A lot of people myself included have a deep mistrust of people who started supporting the likes of Man United, Liverpool and Leeds in the 1970's when they come from London. Yes you are free to support who you like but while most of us as kids would support Chelsea, QPR etc and go to the games every week regardless of how well we were doing. Every Man United and Liverpool fan i knew wouldn't go even when they were playing in London. He wasn't showing passion it was nauseating a grown man going on national radio and breaking down cos his football team aren't doing very well is pathetic.

Fair and good points. Must admit i didn't take any notice of Sheva in the World Cup. Suppose his reputation was bigger then his actual talent. He was always a yard off the pace.

Just when i thought Liverpool fans couldn't be more melodramatic and phony here's the evidence.

Agreed. When you look at Mourinho's final games in the league only three wins in eleven and they were against Portsmouth. Reading and Birmingham. But it was a weird time after having basically an open cheque book Shevchenko was bought obviously against his wishes. He was an outstanding player at the time but to then buy the likes of Sidwell, Pizarro and Ben Hiam on free transfers was just bizarre. Apparently he didn't rate Alex and was one of the reasons he fell out with the hierachy. Personally i loved Alex and his free kicks were something else. He took one at St Andrews and it hit the bar and landed in the centre circle.

Err i'm a season ticket holder

Yes sorry about that guv. Duly noted apologies to all. Caught in the moment etc.

Well Goodness Gracious Me. Yes me and my mates support our local English team how about you? Thing is we will be watching in the flesh and be able to critique Cuadrado's performance. You will be watching a dodgy stream be careful not to spill any lemonade on your keyboard.

Yo sorry dude i meant soccer i'm so pissed at myself right now.

Only 12 people on a jury squire and if i ask 12 people in the pub before today's game all of them will tell me Cuadrado's shit. If i say to them there's a geyser in India who says that because he's only played 288 minutes we should give him a break well they'll just piss themselves laughing.

Nice one squire try looking up scouts and asinine in the dictionary. Some say the jury's out on Cuadrado it's not there's a unanimous decision he's shit.

Nice internet research there mate 288 minutes etc etc Cuadrado is absolutey one of the worse footballers i've ever seen. But of course the worse footballer you have ever seen was when your contrast button wasn't working on your remote control

Not exactly proving yourself in the market buying Fabregas and Costa. Spending 27 million on a bloke who looks utterly out of his depth who couldn't trap a dead mouse never mind a football. We had a geyser who played for us very briefly in the late 80's called David Mitchell who was by a country mile the worse footballer i've ever seen and believe me there was a queue a mile long who could have taken that accolade. The thing about Mitchell was he'd always fall on his arse it could be attempting a shot or header and that's who Cuadrado reminds me of. Football is obsessed with stats these days and i wish OPTA did a category for most time spent on there arse for ineptitude and being shrugged off easier then dandruff cos Juan would win every time.

Magic like Cuadrado?

I've said it in another post but Cech was immense that night faced six penalties went the right way for all of them saving three.

Superb post

It's when half of the team wouldn't travel to Israel F.B. can only remember Petit refusing. Desailly, Gudjohnson possibly?. We were really shit that night here's the team. Chelsea: Bosnich, Melchiot, Terry, Babayaro, Kitamarike, Stanic, Lampard, Jokanovic, Zenden, Zola, Hasselbaink. Subs: Dalla Bona, Forssell, Aleksidze, Keenan, Slatter, Baldwin, Evans

Three years ago and if i'm ever bored i put on Youtube and watch the penalties it just cheers me up every time. I get a sort of temporary tourettes when Schweinsteger misses can't help shouting ''Fuck off you sausage munching Hitler youth clone''

FROM THE GUARDIAN'S FIVER DAILY EMAIL. As we all know, Liverpool Football Club is special. Different. Classy. Unique. Special. Unique. Classy. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Unique. Clubby. Clubbish. Clubesque. Special. Unique. Increasingly irrelevant. Over the hill. Past-it. Yesterday’s news. Special. Unique. Iconic. Unique. Special. Special. Special. Unique. Liverpool Football Club are special. And unique. And special. And classy. They’re special and specially unique and uniquely specially and specially special and uniquely classy and they have a different way of doing things, you wouldn’t understand, you just wouldn’t, because you’re not special, or classy, or unique, you’re not Liverpool Football Club, and you wouldn’t understand, so don’t even bother, just accept it, they’re the best football team in the tra-la-la-la land. Liverpool Football Club’s specialness and uniqueness and classiness naturally places them in a position to pat lesser clubs on the head and let them know of their place in the food chain. Clubs, say, like Southampton, who were browbeaten into selling Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren to mighty Liverpool last summer. “They have a choice as a club,” Liverpool’s head guru, Brendan Rodgers, roared last August. “They don’t have to sell. You have a choice. Maybe Southampton’s objectives have changed. They were looking to be a [big Cup] club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change. There might be one or two others who leave. It’s just the way it works.” It’s. Just. The. Way. It. Works. Words to live by. Poetry in motion that comes to mind now that Raheem Sterling is busy letting Liverpool know that the way it works is that he would like to leave in the summer, maybe join a bigger club, play for a team who actually have a chance of winning something in the near future, that there’s only so many times he can hear about the Miraculous Miracle of Istanbul before he’s forced to go all Van Gogh on his ears. Treason! Naturally Sterling’s desire to play for a good team has been met with fury and The Fiver assumes he has spent the day locked in Melwood’s Re-education Chamber, a crack team of Phil Thompson, John Bishop and John Aldridge taking it in turns to hammer home the uniqueness and specialness and classiness of Liverpool Football Club, making sure Sterling knows that he will forever walk alone if he joins Manchester City, a terrifying prospect indeed. It’s just the way it works
