Welcome Is there something about Southern Arizona that makes it football oriented? You inferred that you grew up watching football because of where you lived...

Indeed it should.

Kits look much nicer there, the goalkeeper's kit looks good too in true colour.

I don't think it has anything to do with domestic games, just European games. What you see there are the official UEFA coefficients, although I think perhaps they have been worked out by someone else following UEFA's formulae.

In retrospect you may be right. Perhaps not United, but maybe Liverpool.

I think that is based on our European performances, and given the fact we've got to the Semi Final 3 times in 4 years it's hardly surprising we're now ranked top. Teams that have got to the final haven't done as well in other years which is why us steady eddies are top. Amusing that Newcastle are near the top of the table.

I don't get this comment. The kit is no more or less "dull" than our previous kits.

Didn't know City wanted him! He does deserve a testimonial before he leaves, the club need to arrange that soon as.

RIP Mrs Lampard Lamps can have all the time off he needs... but something tells me he will play.

Mmm not good really, but we'll have Essien to make a straight swap and he's been in good form recently.

I've seen the video like 5 times and I still can't work out what the hell he shouts at the end. The closest I can get is "PENGUIN!" Love the hysterical laughing in the background. Not everyone on TV is pro-Liverpool it seems

?

Well I disagree He continued to look lazy and there were several balls he could have chased and got but instead slowed up, and apart from that didn't have much impact 6 is what I give if they've done good nor bad, so it's the standard for when they didn't get a chance to do anything. Agreed. Obviously man of the match from my ratings.

Great result in the end, we weren't exactly great, but we did create a few chances and I feel that a draw was a fair result. We're in the better position for the second leg, but need to make sure we take advantage! Cech: 8 Ferreira: 6 A. Cole: 6 Terry: 7 Carvalho: 7 Makelele: 5 Lampard: 5 Ballack: 6 J. Cole: 6 Malouda: 5 Drogba: 6 Subs Kalou: 7 Anelka: 6

Won't that be on the return leg when the players are in London?

Welcome

If I did that I would then be in a position to be able to go... except not, because I don't have a ticket. Plus I would in theory be screwing over a fellow fan.

Well I don't have it and won't be getting it. Maybe if everyone else is in the same position Bob Hope will turn out to be some hope.

He had the balls to try Anelka on the wing in the League Cup Final.

Haha, Aroop, two hopes. I won't be going, can't afford that.

This will test Roman's faith in Grant. If he listens to the players, great, if not, we'll be seeing a wholesale change to the squad... If the source is to be believed.

Damn we're missing three midfielders. Gonna have to be Maka, Mikel and SWP, that worries me.

I guess that is part of it, but we've never even looked convincing this season.

How the fuck have we managed that? The mind boggles.

Agree with that too. We really do not deserve to win the league, it would be laughable.
