Does anyone know if we're getting those smart cards this year?

The only good thing about having him in the middle - he wouldn't let the ball run out of play! It's so frustrating when he does that - can't he see the line?!! Definitely keep him out on the wing. His crossing is improving and his trickery can pose problems to defences - as long as he doesn't try to beat his man 3 times over.

Agreed. Coleman would have "steered" them to safety too. Fulham were always gonna stay up cos Charlton and Watford were destined for the drop and Sheff Utd, Wigan and West Ham were never gonna catch them.

I guess its just Mansion trying to break into the Asian market. looks s*** nah i like it tbh Unfortunately, it looks a lot better than our cheap effort. There are so teams out there with decent adidas designs and we end up with the worst one.

Not necessarily. In some countries it is illegal to advertise for alcohol at sporting events (I think France is one) so there have been ocassions where a new sponsor is made specifically for an away game there or no sponsor at all. I'd bet my left bollock that they are fakes. I know the rules on alcohol, they have been in place for many years and either clubs have plain shirts or some marketing gimmick such as LFC having "Probably..." in place of the sponsor. Furthermore, you can only be sponsored by one organisation. If they use two different brand names on home and away kits then that is allowed but Carslberg have nothing to do with Liverpool 08. So as I said, it's fake. You can have a different sponsor for games in European countries with said rules, we had Centre Parks on our shirts a few years ago when we played a UEFA Cup game in France because we couldn't advertise alcohol. You can have a different sponsor, but it has to be from the same organisation like 1878 said before. Scottish and Newcastle owned Newcastle Brown Ale and Center Parcs at that time. That Liverpool 08 sponsor is definitely fake. I work down here and there's been no mention of it whatsoever.

A lot of people overlook the fact he managed Celtic to the UEFA cup final only to be beaten narrowly by a diving Porto side managed by Mourinho - beating a decent Liverpool side, Blackburn, Celta Vigo and Stuttgart on the way. His side contained a few English misfits like Hartson, Sutton and Alan Thompson. He brings out the strengths in average players and plays tactics to their advantages and that's what Roeder lacks.

A couple of summers ago, we walked through past the Milburn stand and came to the large gates (opposite from the away fans entrance). The gates weren't locked so we went through and stood by the corner of the pitch. Didn't have the balls to walk on to the pitch though! I don't think you could hide, but anyway you wouldn't be able to see a thing in the dark, never mind having a kick about!

I don't think he had a great game and I thought he was his usual clueless self and he proved this a few times when we got free kicks shooting towards the Leazes end. I remember at least twice where he failed to get the wall back 10 yards and the whole crowd counted with him as well. He got as far as 8 and gave up!

Just to confirm, will it be match number 8?

I think the title is a bit misleading. It wasn't MOTD, but it was Gavin Peacock's opinion.

Better cough up that £20 I think!

Mebbe Roeder wants to offload him and doesn't want to de-value him by having him cup tied out of the UEFA cup?
