Liverpool-Chelsea is more boring than a day spent listening to the home demos of James Blunt.

David James is such a hammy actor with his Urkel like reactions, haha.

Footballers who look like lesbians Bolton defender Gary Cahill

LOL! Oh, you.

Does anyone remember their bus crash?

2-4 up with ten minutes to go! 4-4! Hannover! Hannover? More like Hannover those two extra points please! softies

Who's lost the least amount of games in the Bundesliga? BVB, 9th place, that's who! Meanwhile who's going to win the league and the Champions League? Horrible ol' Bayern, I'm calling it right here, right now. Though if and when they play English opposition, I'll support them. Schalke would be a different matter.

Has he wheeled out the old 'It may take 15 games for us to get back on track' line like he did at Spurs? Vintage Juande.

No doubt Juande Ramos is completely blameless. Poor Juande.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

YES

End the season now and cancel the summer transfer window, we've been linked with David Bentley. Because having half your squad be unable to cross a ball is never enough. <SAD FACE>

Awful couple of weeks. Now it'll drag on without mercy until we end up 5th. Good job we rested the big guns for Stoke, eh?

Brave and valiant: two things Steve McClaren's England side never were! What a twist! He's very well liked over there as well! In the irony of ironies, Steve's Twente is considered by far the most fun to watch team in the Eredivisie. Is he still conducting interviews in that comedy accent? That interview was probably him unconsciously mimicking his interviewer, whose English isn't all that great. I have read several reports that suggest he is very well liked by the supporters down there. Must be a nice change from the England job for him! I still find it funny that he was ever England manager. Its one of those funny 'did that really happen?' things, like when Lyle Lovett married Julia Roberts.

I will take this under advisement. I don't actually like this picture of Paul Stanley but it compels me, like a car crash. He used to be beautiful.

money talks. Is one of my favourite Chris Tucker films! I wouldn't have minded (as much) if we'd started the tie with a weak team but to still be in with a chance and just wave the white flag like that is feeble.

So according to Martin's madness, we can play a full strength side against CSKA Moscow on a Thursday, then play a full strength side against Chelsea on a Sunday...then play the most haphazard turd for brains team in the return leg against Moscow on a Wednesday; so we can play full strength against...Stoke on another Sunday. Consider me underwhelmed by the return of European football to my life. Apparently we're intent on finishing 4th, presumably so we can field a weakened team against Partizan Belgrade and lose over two legs in some Champions League qualifier watched by nobody next August. I like trophies, I'm old fashioned that way, finishing 4th would be amazing all things considered but ultimately, what's it all for? Oh and Salifou, Osbourne, Harewood are all hilariously inept, I'd terminate their contracts in a heartbeat. Sidwell, I'm putting your ginger backside on probation.

Couldn't have cared less about last night's games, though I still managed to accidentally surround myself with Man U fans, the Sky subscriber suburbanite type that talk about the 1999 final as some experience in ancient history. Almost as sad as when I got verbally bombarded by a smug Spurs fan after they snuck past Burnley in extra time a while back.

Are you avram a laugh?

My picks were based on what I call the three sides of Avram: the joker that the cameras rarely show, the brooding philosopher and the passionate man's man. Having seen some of the quirky hijinx his wife gets up to on Israeli TV, I'd say Avram was probably much more of a wild man away from public! In fact you might say we should all grant him a little more respect!

This thread has seen better days, my last two posts were about Phil Bardsley for Christ's sake. Only one solution: Avram Grant gallery~~~!1!

Mildly amusing
