'bout now

So I'm not mad then. I'm not sure that he would but if I had a brief to find the best man to manage in certain financial ( but not austere) conditions and do it with style (what Liverpool used to have), then I'd make it almost impossible for him to turn it down.

The perfect fit for Liverpool is almost unthinkable. Arsene Wenger, there I said it and if I was in the Liverpool boardroom I'd throw 10 Million at that.

What I meant was that the club as a whole lack direction and impetus and that comes from owners who have a vision for the future. Hicks and Gilette have waged a war with each other and obviously have no love or knowledge of football.

I think Liverpool will come out of this stronger and I wouldn't describe Liverpool fans as "fickle", if anything they have been too loyal. The problem for me as an outsider looking in has been the negative style of football that has been played, if you get a more open minded manager you might see some of the undoubted talent at the club become more expressive. Lucas wasn't the under 20 captain of Brazil for nothing. However the club has to be sold if we are ever going to see a Liverpool of old.

Oh I would too Simon. Just seems wrong to see an England team not on a BA flight with Pilot doing thumbs up out the window.

Just noticed that England flew out on Virgin Atlantic, rather than BA. Apart from the irony in the airline name, a massive blow for our supposed national carrier. well done Derek Simpson you must be proud.

One chap I know was walking down the street on his way to a business meeting, stepped into a puddle and went down to his neck, as some kind soul had stole the lid of the sewer, he returned home to shower and change. Apocryphal myth Steve, that was Dr Foster on an ill fated trip to Gloucester.

John Barnes's goal was great but it was in a friendly when we should have been playing in Euro '84 so I don't think counts. How's about Shearer's (3rd) against the Dutch in 1996? A great team goal in a great team performance. Still struggling against 'Ol comeover though.

Gascoigne V Scotland *grabs tin hat*

@MM yes that is true, however they've made up http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8262040.stm

ITV's football commentators. All of them. Jim Beglin. Alle effing lujah!

So young Tony/George/Dave, at the age of 10, maybe 11 say nooooooo I'm gonna be Labour, how did you question your Parents at that age?

To me it's like mixing orange juice and milk, it won't work and we'll all feel sick after consumption. Another election within 1 year, Conservatives with a majority, Lib Dems into meltdown. I'm amazed how Dogma and principle, so viciously paraded during the run up to an election melt away on one sniff of power.

Zoo, Danny Dyer, David Gold, David Sullivan. FFS!

Oh bloody thanks, i actually looked, thought about and consulted my memory for that answer, if only I'd known. What a shit quiz

Kirsty Macoll?

Gun shot wounds are extra by the way.

Matthew, my best friend is a consultant of emergency medicine.If you're in the Sheffield area and missing a limb, organ or are just bleeding uncontrollably give him a shout, I'm sure he'll be available, 'cos he's only in it for the cash, honestly, thats what its all about.

In the interest of balance and a little comedy, I think Lord Pearson of UKIP should have been allowed to perform

John Martyn

;- If the non Big 4 managers were given enough air time I'm sure that we'd find likes of Moyes, Redknapp & Big Sam moan as much after other games they lose as they do when they are nailed by the Big 4. Who are the big four?;-)

Thought Rafael was lucky to be on the field after the first challenge, looked like retaliation to me, most refs hate that.

Thank you Citeh and thank you Stoke, that is all I have to say!

Probably meant boning Peasants.
