Owen got one :(

Didn't he claim the one he won against Arsenal to be all down to him? :laugh:

 

You mean the 2001 FA Cup Final, otherwise known as the "Owen final"? Yeah, but not without some merit. We were under the hammer the entire game, and Owen pulled two goals out of his arse to win it (with a little help from Paddy Berger and Henchoz' handball off the line). TBH, if we're talking about 2001, he deserves every bit of praise he gets. He was absolutely astonishing that year. And then he tore his hamstring in the autumn/winter, lost his bottle, and it's been downhill from there.

I'm sure it was something daft along the lines of he deserved two medals for that FA cup.

He was utter crap again. The standards for his performances have fallen so low that the absolute bare minimum gets ultimate praise.

 

This :lol:

 

He worked hard and got an assist, granted, but if they think that's how he played when he 'terrorised' defences for us they are horribly mistaken.

Whisper it quietly but I thought he played 'reet second half. Was shit in the first but with the service he was getting I don't think any forward would've been any different.

 

I honestly don't remember him doing anything positive in the second half. The flick on for the goal was awful defending.

I thought he was decent, but those reactions. :lol:

 

They're so desperate. Pretty tragic.

That and a few of them are probably scared of being banned from Rawkkk for saying otherwise.

He was awful and looked extremely slow and immobile. Honestly he is a Championship striker at best on this kind of form. I thought Enrique was rubbish too. He looks to have lost a yard of pace or something and seems poor defensively. He got skinned a few times today by Valencia and positionally was all over the place. Long may the two of them continue to underperform/have miserable careers. Cunts!

Liverpool have made a remarkable bid to swap Andy Carroll with Carlos Tevez and move on their club-record £35m signing not even a year after signing him from Newcastle United.

 

The Anfield club contacted City on Thursday to ask how much they want for Tevez and whether they would be willing to contemplate a straight exchange with Carroll. Brian Marwood, the City football administrator, rebuffed the idea immediately, even though Carroll is a player Roberto Mancini has admitted admiring when he was at Newcastle.

 

The move demonstrates how Liverpool are now openly looking at offloading Carroll despite the insistence behind the scenes at Anfield that he can still play a prominent part and Kenny Dalglish's praise for the player after the 2-1 FA Cup defeat of Manchester United.

 

Carroll has scored only six goals in 35 appearances since becoming the eighth most expensive footballer in history and has not even been able to establish himself as a regular starter this season.

 

His problems adapting on Merseyside have also left Liverpool willing to take a £10m hit on the player, with Tevez valued at £25m, though that revelation is hardly surprising considering his difficulties at Anfield, added to the sense that he has not always been fully focused.

 

Fabio Capello, the England manager, has already expressed misgivings about the lifestyle of a player who has managed only two league goals this season in 20 appearances.

 

Those remarks went down badly at Anfield, with Dalglish defending Carroll, but the questions will probably not go away until he becomes a regular scorer. Carroll's longest run of starts this season is three games and Marwood's decision was made on the basis that he could no longer improve their team even though Mancini has a shortage of front players at a time when Tevez's strike is in its 11th week and Mario Balotelli is now serving a four-match suspension.

 

Tevez is planning to return to Manchester next week now it has become apparent that Milan are not able to meet City's asking price and, unless anything changes before Tuesday's transfer deadline, his adviser, Kia Joorabchian, says the Argentinian wants to re-establish himself in the team.

 

Whether that is possible remains to be seen, with Mancini not prepared to entertain the idea unless there is an apology from Tevez for walking out on the club and the string of other offences that have already led to him being found guilty of gross misconduct and losing almost £10m in wages, fines and lost bonuses since the start of the season.

 

Tevez is still a formidable striker and finished as the league's joint-top scorer last season, but he will be returning to England with a severely damaged reputation and Liverpool's attempt to take him along the M62 will surprise many people given his propensity for causing dressing-room problems and an apparent dislike of living in England.

 

There is also the fact that, approaching his 28th birthday, he would not have fitted into Liverpool's usual policy of buying players at a young age who will keep a resale value over the course of their contract. Liverpool, however, were willing to make an exception and City would have been glad to arrange a deal after unsuccessful talks not just with Milan but also Juventus, Internazionale and Paris St-Germain. They remain open to offers for the Argentinian but will not change their mind about Carroll.

As if City would swap Carlos Tevez for that total lame.
