Taylor Swift

Which one? Is it the one about his mom and dad washing elephants?

Btw, I've seen Walcott's run about 6 times and I everytime I see it, it gets better. Absolutely magnificent breathtaking jaw-dropping run. Considering the circumstances, his age, the way the game was going, how many minutes were left, the layoff etc., that was fucking awesome. But still, he's not on that level Yet.

Bojan reminds me of a young Michael Owen when he makes those runs of his' in the box. And I think that's a really good thing btw. Pato's quite selfish from what I've seen so if he cannot become more of a team player I don't think he'll fulfill his potential, whilst Bojan will become a world-class striker because of his attitude and of course his top-notch movement and finishing.

Rubbish. Kuyt is shite. He's a striker who can't score ffs. He works hard and can sometimes contribute to the overall game that Liverpool plays but what a waste of £10m for them, eh?

When has he ever been given a significant run in the first team (before last season)? And last season he was arguably one of our best players even though it was his first year in the Premiership and he played in a team which was really shit as well. I think he has a lot more to offer, and has got many attributes that KK will be able to exploit. He's still really young as well so to pass judgment on him now would be very hasty.

I mentioned him earlier this season but now there's much more chance of us snapping him up. He's a quick nifty little attacking midfielder who when on form, can absolutely rip a team to shreds. Pablo Aimar, still pretty young and now playing for relegation-threatened Zaragoza, would be a cheap-ish signing and would undoubtedly make a difference in our team. I'd really like to see us go for him considering Zaragoza will suffer a lot from relegation and even if they stay up, will lose money from not getting European football.

Arsenal have actually been desperately unlucky in the past few weeks. Starting from the Birmingham game, you could pinpoint a moment in nearly every game of theirs in which the ref has fucked them over. Starting from the non-penalty that Birmingham got, the wrong-ruled-offside goal that Adebayor scored against Boro through to the two crucial penalty decisions against Liverpool, they've been fucked over majorly.

Is Spurs a recent thing? There doesn't seem to be any historical or geographical factors there (except maybe the cockney thing but then surely every London club deserves the same treatment?), but merely more topical because they're loved by the media and are apparently our rivals for the Euro spots. I like to laugh at them, and obviously want them to lose because it benefits us, but there's no genuine dislike of them or their fans. I know a few Spurs fans and they're all quite canny lads actually. But with the others, especially Man Utd and Liverpool, there's definitely a childhood growing up element to it which just makes me dislike them to the point that I almost enjoy them losing as much as I enjoy Newcastle winning. Almost.

Messi will be back for Barca in the semis and that obviously gives them a real shot at winning it all, though I have to say Man Utd's form atm is scarily good.

1. Liverpool 1. Man Utd 3. Spurs 4. Chelsea I don't hate Arsenal. Admire Wenger a lot and even though they've got a few dirty little cheats in the team, they're probably my second favourite team.

So why did they have to win by a flukey pen? Nothing less than they deserved. Liverpool were strong minded enough to take a hammer blow like the goal and kick straight off and blast down the other end to win the penalty. You cant take that kind of positivity away from Liverpool as most other teams would have allowed their heads to drop for a minute or so. Where good fortune comes into it is how a player like Toure, who had been pretty solid all game, gets skinned and commits a stupid challenge in the box. In most other cases, against most other teams, Toure wins the ball and clears the danger. Bitter? Of course. In most cases the referee wouldn't have awarded a non-existent penalty to one of the two scummiest teams on Earth. Yes I'm bitter as well. Very bitter.

That sitter he missed was ridiculous, easiest chance for either team over the two legs. Indeed. I thought Arsenal had blown it then until Theo's magical run. I hate to say Arsenal deserved to win it because generally, you deserve what you get in football, but I'll say that Liverpool certainly did not deserve to win 4-2.

Missed a couple of long shots (that I would have probably creamed over, tbf) but wasn't that involved in the general play that much. Kuyt had a good game, but Mascherano and their defence really shone after about 20 minutes in.

How shit is Adebayor's first touch btw? I thought he had improved it but at least for tonight, it was fucking dogshit.

Not been Chelsea's best season so far but maybe this will be the year they do it? I'd say they've been favourites for both the ties against Liverpool that they've lost but this time I'd make them underdogs because of how good Liverpool are in Europe. Come on Chelsea.

I've just seen the replay of Walcott's run (again and again). Skinned 5 players before that perfect layoff. Top class. So unexpected but motherfuckingly awesome.

My god that run by Walcott is jaw-droppingly awesome. And the layoff as well. Arsenal have been robbed. If that was a penalty, what the fuck was the Hleb one last week?

What a run by Walcott. What a motherfucking run. Holy shit. I fucking can't get over it. Fuck. Liverpool can fuck off. Never a fucking penalty. Fuck.

Fuck yeah.

Since he beefed up (because of an apparent attempt to become the new Shearer/Roeder told him to) he's looked slower than ever and doesn't even have the same unpredictability to his game anymore.

But rumours don't end after ninety minutes, or even a week. If they're all mixed in with each other then it becomes really tedious keeping up with developments in the one particular rumour that you're interested in. Time seems to be just about the worst thing to organise them with, to me anyway. If that rumour develops in any sort of way then surely it will stay at the forefront of the rumour thread?? Exactly. Rumours are rumours, they stay in the rumour thread that week and any developments or updates go into which ever week it is. If it comes something serious a new thread is made for that actual transfer. It doesn't seem that difficult to me to maintain, i'm sure James would love to deal with it no probs.

were you happy with him when he was playing alongside Smith, Milner and Duff? Were you happy with Martins alongside the same players? (in particular pre-African Nations when Owen was still in and out, and Viduka was injured). Different formation, different manager. Martins is the key player in our new formation because of his ability to stretch the field, thus allowing Owen to drop into the space created by Martins Without Owen I reckon we could still play our normal game (well, what constitutes as normal atm) but without Martins, we'd suffer.

The Euros will keep the normal footie section going.

From googling, I found.. Five other excluding Zesh Rehman. So six in total.
