    I wasn't having a go at United, you guys are a couple of players from challenging for the title, and so are Liverpool. I'm well aware of how much our strikers have let us down this season, and I trust that the Liverpool board will give Rafa the resources to give that department the necessary...

    I think Gattuso has stated his interest in a move to the PL before actually. .. and can you slow down the gif in your sig LMF? It's disturbingly hypnotic :p Buying young talent is fine, but reliance on them before they've shown their skills at the top level is a mistake. See Florent-Sinama...

    1. Torres is possibly the most overrated striker in the world right now. He's Owenesque in his inconsistency. You might see a decent goal to game return ratio, but he'd have achieved that ratio by scoring a hat-trick in one game and then go missing for 6 matches, good enough for a medium sized...

    Unlucky for Spurs, 10 players down with food poisoning before the match is pretty serious. Pretty unlikely that an Arse fan did poison the buffet, but I wonder what would happen if that was the case, and it was uncovered..hm.. Good win for Liverpool again, but I guess Charlton just couldn't...

    Last movie you've seen?

    Nowhere To Hide.. half of it anyway, the subtitles for the second half were out of synch, so now I have to wait for my DVD off ebay to arrive. What I did see though, was a lot of fun.

    That does sound like good fun.

    In the Mood for Love

    He's mostly pretty awesome, except for Ashes of Time, which is fairly incoherent. Hierachy, well for me the three 'must see' Wong films so far are: Chungking Express, In The Mood For Love, Happy Together Then the next 2 are exceptional, but not his best: 2046, Fallen Angels Then there are a...

    In the Mood for Love

    Didn't see it last night, but that's only because I have it on DVD and have seen it many, many times. Very close to being my favourite movie.

    I'd rather King than Carrick for DM to be honest. Alonso's pretty good defensively, but he's more a deep lying playmaker than anything else, and Carrick is just a poor man's Alonso.

    Leeds has been in dire form- last 10 matches: DDLDLDDDWL Milwall is gonna get relegated to League One rofl. Serves them right, unruly feckers.

    Lucky bastard. Talk about winning the lottery huh? £10m pounds though, is a pretty damn decent addition to the transfer kitty of any club but Chelsea. The difference between a good summer's buying and a great summer's buying really. And yes, Lampard is Scholes-like. I didn't say he was...

    The 'hole', where Rooney plays United and England, is exactly where Lampard spends most of his time for Chelsea. They mightn't perform the same function, but it's still more or less the same position. Lampard has the luxury of spending most of his time on the edge of the penalty area waiting for...

    It's referring to their being knocked of the CL, so it is true.

    I know, it's a very long shot, but apparently Sven wasn't going to fix England's centre midfield problems himself, and I think having that problem solved is almost as important as Rooney is to England. Rooney is a wonderful player, no doubt, but Gerrard and Lampard are also amazing players who...

    Ouch.. Rooney out for 6 weeks, exactly the length of time before England's first match. Provided there are no further complications, I think England will be rushing him back even if he's only 70-80%. If they don't though.. I see Lampard maybe getting pushed into the hole where Rooney would...

    There's a 'new Maradona' coming out of Argentina every year. D'Allessandro, Aimar, Messi, Tevez, Saviola and yes.. Riquelme as well. All class acts to be sure, but it's a little early just yet to be calling any of them the 'new Maradona'.

    Match Point

    If you're not familiar with Woody's work, what makes you think he's accomodating his fans?? If anything this is easily one of his most accessible and 'mainstream' films. In fact, you could argue that is a more mainstream friendly remake of one of his earlier films Crimes and Misdemeanors. And...

    Marie-Antoinette

    I had my doubts about Kirsten Dunst as Marie-Antoinette before I saw the trailers, but now I'm actually becoming convinced that she's a solid choice. Dunst is obviously an actress who Sofia likes to work with. I think she strikes the right notes for the same theme Sofia keeps coming back to- the...

    Marie-Antoinette

    New trailer's out, apparently only released in for French, with English subtitles. This is the first trailer that's actually included some of the dialogue. It looks like, from some of the last few shots shown, that this film will take us towards, or right to the end of her life after all.

    :rolleyes: Aside from Liverpool's own rather embarrassing episode against Sao Paulo this year, guess who's won the majority of the recent Toyota Cups? That's right, European clubs (7 out of the last 10 times in fact). Being passionate about where you came from is fine, but try avoid...
