We'll see indeed at Fortress St Andrews. I'm hoping that we may have improved our own strike force by then. Heskey i think would have worked out good for us if he'd had Forssel alongside. we desperately need a goalscorer in the transfer window.

Baros - world class player for Czech republic, maybe - for Liverpool perhaps not. Glad that Pongolle was crap, if I recall he spent all of the last time we played you diving all over the park.

So, how's about a little bet on the result of the Anfield game Mr. Brynjar? Say, if Liverpool win ( Posted Image

) I'll put 'Liverpool Rules' as my title for a week, and if ManU win then you put 'ManU are the best' as your title for the same time period. If its a draw, then no one has to do anything- agreed?

The Czechs won 3-0. Have to be favourites, alongside Portugal now.

PS- Hmmm, I'd make fun of Scotland, but then they didn't even make the tournament. Didn't even have the chance to foul the 'keeper... Posted Image

True it would be a blow if Viera left but I still reckon Arsenal have the quality to trouble Chelski and the bloody Reds. Edu had a stormer last year and Gilberto won't get many games for Brazil so he won't be knackered again. Also Reyes will have a blinding season and he and Henry should be something else up front. If Viera does go and Arsenal sign the Argentinian Mascherano then he could be an even better signing than Viera was! And what the hell is going on at Newcastle? They've all gone blind! Maybe Bellamy will go all Kung-fu and realise where the goal is! Posted Image

Well, England made it through to the next round with their best performance of the tournament so far, imo.
They kept their heads this time and didn't just try to defend their lead after half-time, like they did against france. Looking forward to Thursday against Portugal, should be a really good game, although i would have preferred they play Greece, i still think we can beat the Portuguese.

Prediction: 2-1 to England

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGHGGGHHHHH!!

First we totally dominate Fulham on wednesday and lose from their only real chance and the same happens with Palace on Saturday. Of course it just had to be Andy Johnson. We cannot score and a relegation fight is looming. Oh well - keep right on. Posted Image

if I know Maniche well, Rooney will be sent off in the first half Posted Image

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

In a week when racism in football has been a hot topic of debate, this seems pretty offensive. I'm sure that wasn't the intention but that's my opinion.

I've been consistantly impressed with Hyypia since he joined Liverpool. He's not captain for no reason Posted Image

But they've replaced Seaman with Lehmann (and I thought we had goalkeeping worries), and still got a temparement problem against teams they can't dominate. Lets just say I think it'll be a lot closer than you will...

Bobby Robson was sacked cos he's gone senile and lost the plot. In the villa match you could see him asking John Carver what the score was..."er we're losing four two you dozy old goat!"

to quote Gazza "I hope they ended it on a handshake"

Who's next? the smart money is on a Shearer/Venables joint management, with Shearer getting the job full time the season after next.

My call for sacking Sven (boring) Erikson is that his team defends too deep after they've taken the lead. We were a far better side than both Poland (no offence Gothos) and Austria but sat back and hit them on the break after going 1-0 up. It's very frustrating watching this from a supporters point of view.

This carried through to the World cup and the Euro championships. If they could just keep their heads and play the same relaxed game they do for the first thirty minutes through the rest of the game then we'd be a force in world football. They seem to panic when they're in the ascendancy and the manager just sits there giving them little or no encouragement.

Plus I think he should perhaps look at dropping Beckham, his form is very poor at the moment. Has anyone else noticed that he is deemed to be carrying an "injury" after each time he has a poor game?? This shifts the emphasis from whether he's playing well enough to start? to is he available to play?. Then when he says "I can play" everyone is relieved and he gets a start whether he's worth one or not.

God what a lengthy post!

Hasselbaink is 32- Chelsea's strikeforce is now young and classy, though unproven: Drogba, Kezman, Gudjohnsen and Mutu, with Crespo, Forsell and Carlton Cole out on loan...
