I'd have thought that not having to use him made it an even better win.

I was only half paying attention yesterday so at one point when I'd woken up I reached the conclusion Lampard wasn't playing. Finally I saw him. He can't have been much involved though.

[Keef]

Yeah great that the team won without needing him, but would've been even one annoying for Torres if his replacement had scored. Great to see Carra role back the years!

At least we didn't lose to team bottom of premier league, and our side doesn't "boast" a player on ?250K a week. What great value for money he's provided for his clubs investment.

[Sandperson]

Haha. I think being four up and only getting a point is a bit more gutting. It seems whatever you are paying your team it's not enough to defend a four goal lead.

Still didn't lose to bottom club, and still don't pay over the odds for players. Lead now only four points and the Mancs have got to play us, Chavski, and Liverpool.

[Sandperson]

Well, I guess we'll see. I think there's a few in your team who you've paid over the odds for. Rosicky, Arshavin, Bendtner for example. The Arsenal have had an excellent season and looking back over the results they've had they are unlucky to be second. It's going to be an interesting run in.

[Keef]

I thought you two were ignoring each other. I think this is all just a show, to hide your true feelings for each other.

We'll see indeed.

CELTIC could be set to lose one of their top players as Manchester United prepare a summer swoop for defender Emilio Izaguirre, according to reports.

The Honduran international impressed during last year?s World Cup in South Africa and has been on the radar of some top clubs ever since.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was at Ibrox for Sunday?s Scottish Cup tie between the Old Firm casting his eye over Izaguirre and it?s now believed he will track him for the rest of the season as a long-term replacement for Patrice Evra

I see Keys and Gray have been given a daily radio slot on Talksport, starting Monday. I won't be listening.

[Jah Lush]

I never listened to them on Sky Sports either. They're rubbish.

Don't be so sensitive, it's a fair question, after all isn't the club called MANCHESTER united?

[Jah Lush]

Weren't Arsenal called Woolwich Arsenal?

[Annasfield]

Still in the same City though Jah.

Any club having their office over 200 miles away does seem a bit daft.

[Jah Lush]

So if Spurs move four miles down the road to the Olympic Stadium that'll be alright will it? How would you feel if Liverpool did the same and moved out of Anfield to a different suburb?

[Keef]

Liverpool want to move out of Anfield. (if they can't make Anfield bigger)

[Jah Lush]

Yeah I know. (said in Scouse accent).

True dat, well in Anna.

[Annasfield]

I thought we were talking about moving offices to over 200 miles away? Are you talking about new stadiums now?

The new Anfield would still be in the Anfield Road/Walton Breck area though Keef. We just be a bit closer to Everton.

Erm, it's the corporate office...sponsorship, global client stuff. The club administration is still at OT and Carrington. Maybe you should read the article rather than just picking out random words that suit your (rather poor) joke.
