At least the BBC is showing it isn't against the idea of shaking things up a little with its Match of the Day coverage, even if the appointment of Harry Redknapp and Mick McCarthy to the sofa hardly represents a huge change in direction.

song not even on the bench. goodbye sweet prince, you are actually a player i will really miss. being able to turn the fans after two seasons of being really shit and still being able to gain our respect; song is a fan favourite.

LFC bench actually looks reasonably strong today
Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Downing, Suarez, Borini. Subs: Jones, Carroll, Cole, Henderson, Carragher, Adam, Shelvey.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh should be 1-0
gervinho plays a beautiful dummy round 1, half passing to himself and skins another. he then plays a simple ball across the ground to cazorla, who was unfortunately distracted by poldi running into him, making him put it a yard ward.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOW is it not 1-0? Poldi goes close again. Theo-Caz-Poldi-Gerv all looking dangerous.
Yeah, I was just wondering what it looked like. Do they have someone in their ear piece saying focus on the liverpool game or whatever? i find it hard having both the arsenal game and score on.

Villa - West Ham game has been predictably poor. Villa had the best of the first half an hour, looked tidy in possession without being able to do an awful lot with it. Karim El Ahmadi looks like he could become a big player for us. With 15 or so to go the West Ham long ball routine started paying off a bit, new Villa CB Ron Vlaar looking less like a footballer and more like an amateur wrestler atm. needs to stop giving away free-kicks.

I was in the audience for CDUK once. Before the show starts you get hectored for an hour by a guy doing standup, among which is applause practice - actual practice of whooping, clapping enthusiastically and gurning behind Cat Deeley, or Ant & Dec, or whoever the presenter was.
It is bewilderingly exhausting giving it all out, hands above your head, for even thirty seconds - try it, if you're alone. So I got mad respect for those Leeds fans who applaud Gary Speed at length, and indeed for tifosi everywhere.
