Big substitution this. Kuyt's last appearance & Sterling's first.

Maxi's swansong too. Oh, and there's Downing going off.

nearly his 1st goal too

Can forgive him that. Better not happen again.

next season they should try playing Downing as an unnamed 12th man, see if anyone notices.

BBC Radio 5 live's Michael Gray at Liverpool v Chelsea: "Luis Suarez has tried to shake hands with Branislav Ivanovic afterwards. Having seen a replay of the incident I can see why Ivanovic did not want to."

Yeah he's off to Germany or Holland to see out his career. He's done in I think, but he's been so great for us, I do love the bloke.

andy carroll on the right wing to replace kuyt. we're not allowed to play actual wingers.

we should sign someone from another sport for the left wing.

he's talking about the rise of the far right and racism in France. Hasn't been on yet

Seems he's got an autobiography out and it's not the usual rubbish. It's called "Thinking Inside The Box". I'm going to allow it

hes fairly well spoken for a football player in their second language but he didnt rly say anything

his contention that ppl of colour can ascend in this country to a greater degree than in france is probably false, the unemployment rate for black men is terrible, the number of black football managers vs number of black players is clearly fucked

not just that either- he'd no doubt be considered for the wolves job.

who should spurs be looking at for the areas of lb, cb, cf and rw?

Celtic only need to be better than Motherwell next season so I heartily recommend:

lb SPL Player of the Year 2010/11: Emilio Izaguirre - £6m
lb/cb SPL Player of the Year 2011/12: Charlie Mulgrew - £5m
cf SPL Top Scorer 2011/12: Gary Hooper - £8m
rw SPL Young Player of the Year 2011/12: James Forrest - £8m

you're welcome

plus 'ave a little go for elia/affelay/sahin/a.johnson

darragh, the bundesliga is the only league i've really seen a lot of this season (in serie a i've only really seen milan + juve multiple times).

Therefore these suggestions are all Bundesliga based

RW - As a rotational option to Lennon I think Ashkan Dejagah (Wolfsburg) is worth a look. He's in the mold of Lennon in that he can play as a true winger (ie run down the line and cross). He has 7 or so assists this season I think. He's more physically imposing than Lennon, but a shade slower.I'd quite like someone like him at LFC tbh, a lesser Antonio Valencia if you will.

Or there's Martin Harnik (Stuttgart), lots of goals lots of assists but he's more of a 4-3-3 winger than a 4-4-2 one ie he won't get chalk on his boots.

I'll have a think about the other positions.

― pandemic, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 11:41 (1 year ago) Permalink

ooh good shout from r/t/c on elia there. After a horror season at Juve he might be available cut price and will have something to prove. Then again too long on yet another bench may just about finish him off.

― pandemic, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 11:42 (1 year ago) Permalink

Also there's the chance that Conte had a very good reason for not playing him more.
