if your europe class youre basically world class as well since there isnt anything good outside europe.

That was my hope rob, really happy at the thought of ossies replacement coming in but teletext are reporting him as a left winger so bit of shuffle, bilyaletdinov to left, pienaar to the right and osman to the park end.

Can't believe Villa got a penalty for the tackle by Gerrard, looked like self defence to me.

I think he's like most attacking midfielders these days, comfortable on either side but probably at his best through the middle. When's Arteta back?

It would be a shame to split the Baines/Pienaar partnership that has always looked good when I've watched them, but Osman has looked terrible lately.

Just got in and seen the Liverpool result
They've lost the same amount of games as they did in the whole of last year and we're still in August.
Can't wait to hear what Fat Rafa has to say
Thought they'd walk it tonight. Had them half-time/full-time.
