To be honest I thought Harper deserved to start as number 1 due to his performances at the back end of last season. Plus, Shay was a bit wobbly last year. Turns out it was just an injury he couldn't overcome at the time. Some posters said he was finished like.

I wouldnt be adverse to seeing beckham playing the holding role and I rate Hargreaves over Barry. Carrick would be my first choice in there, he can be disciplined and has a good array of passing and vision. Aye, forgot about him. I just have something in for him as he wasnt anything special when I played against him at school. Nah, in all seriousness. I was talking about him the other day being the ideal INTERNATIONAL holding midfielder. You don't necessarily need an aggressive tackler in your team at that level.

2 months ago loads of posters were saying that Given should be replaced by Harper. What a fickle bunch we are!

Aye, Josep Simunic should have been sent off before that but the ref bottled it. It was dangerous play by Kovac imo. I dont think the ref had any intention of sending him off (whether right or wrong) until he saw the blood.

Is Martins fit?

Happy Birthday. Surprisingly younger than I thought as well !

And so it begins....

Good performance. The team has needed a game like this to get the country behind them once again. Interesting how Gerrard didnt play.....

Media training unfortunately. They never actually *say* anything interviews.

I wouldnt. Its awful.

I've got no problem with him. Its good for British tennis in my opinion.

Not sure that didnt go straight in from Wilkes like.

Carbera looks quality as well (Isaac from Heroes)

How good is Ben Shepard (And Jon Wilkes for that matter) ??? Natural footballer.

Just finished Band of Brothers. Fantastic series. I nearly cried at the end. Brave men. God knows how my and younger generations would cope with what they went through during the war.

Cracking shot like. Reckon thats it for Khans career then?

I don't think they would. I hope you're right.

I think a lot of supporters will believe it...which is unfortunate.

Rings a bell. Whatever it is, we certainly didnt spend £12m. So, is that Dennis Wise's fault for not getting the players in? SACK HIM !

Didnt we break about even for the summer transfer spending. Who's fault was that then???

I've got on good authority that Ashely is in Barbados....

Had a few good seasons but generally hasnt impressed me. I can remember the Liverpool fans saying he'd never be that good as well - after he scored 2 own goals in one game ! (you were expecting this werent you Alex? ) And you rate Taylor Someone has to. Tbf plenty people do, but rating him and not rating Carragher beggars belief. Not saying Carragher doesn't look like a fucking moron with those comments though. The point I was trying to make was that he came on a lot as a player around his mid twenties. Wasnt anything special before that.
