Nah. Whinier, maybe. And definitely with a more annoying accent.

And curly hair and sideburns.

And delusions of grandeur.

And a bit of old tin.

Not what i would call a spectacular mouth watering match, but still a win is a win.
They were never gonna come out all guns blazing, 1st competitive match of the season.
Interesting Tallec played, and no Baros, a poss transfer in the midst maybe?
By the way Tallec=Crap!

Stevie G=

& a clean sheet for Pepe

So gerrard - already worth 32 million, because he was the keyfactor in defeating the mighty total network solutions

Well, 'twas great to meet up with Sickers and his mate. Got a cab up to the ground: driver was an Evertonian, tunred the radio on for us when the team was announced, didn't double the fair and wished us good luck!

Bonus all round really

LFC didn't look sharp at all: bossed the game but ran out of ideas in the 2nd half. TNS were well-disciplined at the back, especially in that 2nd half: fair play to them. It lokd like their heads had gone down at 2-0 but the rallied well.

Some good positives out of that for me: Zenden's looks like he's going to put Kewell under huge pressure; CissÃ©'s touch and speed were excellent.

Sorry: you can have yoru thread back now

Very true Kev, thought Potter & Warnock handled themselves well also.

Glad you had a good time

Cheers

We were saying it was a shame Warnock got subbed. Potter did well. Made some good runs but nobody would give him the ball though, which was a shame

Bloody Vieira.

Flip, yeah. Reeally surprised by that one. However, one story I read was that he is 'resigned' to leaving, i.e. like he doesn't want to go. I hope for Arsenal's sake Wenger's got an ace up his sleave.

Went and saw the Ian Darler testimonial match last night. Ian's been Cambridge United groundsman for 25 years, making do on a small budget and even spending his own money to provide a good playing surface.

Final score Cambridge United 0-3 Ipswich
Goals from Nicky Forster and 2 from Dean Bowditch.

Ipswich looked pretty sharp, first team played first half, reserves played after half time.

Cambridge look like they are in trouble. Mixture of youth, trialists and a couple of older players. They could be relegated again

some details not found on football365.com, from the gazetta (which they claim as source)

gazzetta wrote:Secondo fonti vicine alle due societÃ , la Juventus sborserebbe per il giocatore circa 18 milioni di euro, accontentando quindi l'Arsenal che chiedeva il pagamento in contanti, somma che la Juventus conta di ammortizzare con la vendita di Tudor, Maresca, Miccoli e probabilmente Tacchinardi.

They have to pay 18 million in cash, which they don't have, they have to sell Tudor, Maresco, Miccoli and probably tachinardi.. M&M were sold last week, and then it was stated that was to fund to acquisition of Cassano from Roma (which Roma need to sell to get out of their ban and other financial difficulties), so Cassano is probably off..

gazzetta wrote:
Vieira in bianconero ritroverebbe (continuiamo a usare il condizionale) Trezeguet, con cui con i Bleus ha conquistato un Europeo ed un Mondiale. Trezegol ieri ha pubblicamente invocato l'arrivo del campagno di nazionale, probabile lo abbia fatto, a maggior ragione, in privato.

Found this peculiar too, they are not that certain from their sources as they write: Viera would be reunited with (and we continue to use the conditional tense) Trezequet...

Aye. Lovely to meet up with Kev and bruv. Seriously rusty run-out, yeah, but plenty of good signs - Gerrard immense despite the recent wobbles, Zenden looking well up for it, Alonso just as cultured, Cisse superfit and skating down the wing, Reina commanding but not really tested...

Looking forward to seeing Sissoko and a consistent Cisse-Morientes strike partnership.

Still waiting for that petrified Anfield sausage roll to get its own back, though.

Cheers again for sorting the tickets, Kev. And for being such a deadeye taxi-spotter.

I'll let y'know about the Portsmouth away game thing...
