Yeah, I thought he was eschewing the gingerness somewhat. While we are talking about hair, is this the place to, yet again, ask DJIBRIL CISSE DO YOU EVEN *OWN* A MIRROR?

And, to be less girlie and actually talk about the football, Riise hasn't been playing at all recently though, has he?

hey it would be cool if sissoko... looked like djibril cisse... and was actually called... sisqo

LFC controlled things well enough after the break but for 20 mins after the goal I really thought Sofia would pinch another one or two. I should be able to derive more enjoyment out of a televised Liverpool defeat than this. Maybe the Super Cup, eh?

wait wait let's stay with the hair, i must know: how does xabi alonso escape his greasy-locked hispanic destiny??

Also, Sammi Hyppia, you look stupid with white hair, OK?

No, I really wanted you to beat us. Cobblers go out of League Cup in the first round: top five finish. Win over "superior" opposition in the first round of the League Cup: middle table mediocrity/relegation.

Still, 3-0, that's a thrashing innit?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

if eric sabin scores its a thrashing, yes

― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

if ~~eric sabin~~any Northampton Town striker of the past 10 years, with the possible exception of Jamie Forreser, scores its a thrashing, yes

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Xabi looks nicer in his Real Sociedad leisurewear. From the look on his face, that must have been the good season.

Actually, has he not got a completely different face now? Those sidies are pathetic.

Did not watch Liverpool, preferring to wait for Rob Bonnet's precis this morning.

Little Michael to Everton? Given his love of Champions League football, a lot could depend on tonight's result.

newcastle if liverpool don't stump up the money

― zappi (joni), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 08:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I can no longer abide the expression "the pecking order".

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 08:42 (eighteen years ago) link

So, the big match is tonight.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 08:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes. You must be excited.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 08:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Madrid have promised to help Owen return home to boost his World Cup hopes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 08:59 (eighteen years ago) link

yes something seems wrong about that first xabi pic. perhaps it is his brother?

― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 09:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes - it is Stu Francis lookalike, Mikel Alonso.

Irate Man Utd supporters manage to keep sense of humour in Budapest:

Defender Rio Ferdinand, who recently signed a new four-year deal at the club, was also asked if he had spent his pay rise yet.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 09:31 (eighteen years ago) link

This is how the conversation was reported on the Red Issue website yesterday:

As United arrived at Budapest airport, a United fan spotted David Gill:

Red: You’ve fucked us over big time there Gill. I can’t believe you’ve sold us out.

Gill: (looks perplexed, doesn’t know what to say. Enter Fergie)

Red: You’ve fucked us over too, you could’ve spoke out about it.

Fergie: I’ve got close mates who’ve been working with me here for 15 years. They come first in all this.

Red: So don’t the fans come first?

Fergie: Well I suppose they do come somewhere.

Red: You what? That’s well out of order.

Fergie: Well if you don’t like it go and watch Chelsea.

Red: The fans have been screwed right over. It costs me £20-odd a game now as it is.

Fergie: It costs more than that at Chelsea, go and watch them.

[Red storms off, and spots Ferdinand: "Oi you greedy cunt, how you spending your pay rise?"]

Why no 'Potter is a wizard' jokes on ITV? Because he's not? Also fine opportunity to say, "not only do Liverpool have a Potter, they have a Ron Weasley too". Cue Riise. Nice goal last night.

I hope Everton overturn the Yellow Subs tonight, but I don't think so. Big Dunc on from the start? Reckon it.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I like Fergie's implication that the fans come first at Chelsea!

Can we have a thread fo fans of European Cup winning sides who have now started going out of the league cup in the first road to fcuking Macclesfield?

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, I would be keen on that.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

sissoko looks like trevor nelson

now woody's afflicted too, maybe its a contractual obligado eh

I want Liverpool fans to start singing "Mo-mo, mo-mo-mo-mo" to to the tune of "No Limits" by 2 Unlimited.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

The second picture of Xabi looks like Ronan Keating.

Yes, I am excited.

Footballer called Momo in 'being quite good' shocker.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:41 (eighteen years ago) link

momo johnstone

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

come on

anorthosis famagusta

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Why would you say that?

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I wouldn't say that.

I didn't notice Momo. I was rereading Perry Anderson on Eric Hobsbawm, with the TV on; maybe that's why?

I have always thought that Alonso was quite attractive and very talented.

LFC looked poor to me. But Hyppia looked like Rutger Hauer and actually OK, though I don't like RH. This is confusing.

I think Everton will go out of Europe. I hope they don't.

I saw Rob Bonnet too! He was talking about Owen's statement yesterday or something.

I didn't understand the Sisqo pun post.

I am listening to The Nightcrawlers' 'Little Black Egg'. It can hardly top the Primitives' take, can it?

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't care about co-efficients

Bosko Balaban has scored for Brugge tonight. This pleases me no end.

Everton will surely stay in Europe regardless of tonight's result (UEFA Cup consolation?)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 19:55 (eighteen years ago) link

well plaid

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Everton score!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Steve, do you have Bosko's stats to hand?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:26 (eighteen years ago) link

They're surprisingly easy to memorise.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Good Arteta, he's quite clever you know. I was very disappointed when Cahill's header from just a few yards out was saved in the first half.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:29 (eighteen years ago) link

this is awful, I'm almost willing everton on

― Porkpie (porkpie), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

disallowed!

the PSP has made you crazy!

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Replays suggest the decision was harsh.

Of course they do. :(

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:40 (eighteen years ago) link

damn.

And that is what it's like to be an Evertonian. When the Best Referee In The World(TM) moonlights as a homer for the evening, you know you're sunk. A bit brutal really.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Moonlights as Homer?

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 20:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Moonlighting: Iliad 2.
