It is permitted, and always has been... (so long as the ball goes forward, and the player running in is outside the box when the ball is played)

I wasn't sure about it at all when I heard the rumours. I thought he'd be good experience a la Riedle, but wasn't sure about unbalancing the squad. However, now he's signed, and having watched the interview and seen him face, I'm delighted.

Yeah, can we not, I mean we did get 11m for him, and he hasn't done much in the meantime...

Yeah, Fowler never got us any bad press... errrr...

Didn't hear anyone moaning after the Derby... hmmmmm fickle?

Don't think they are "crap"... but overpriced certainly. Pamarot is cack, Davis is injury prone, and Mendes is pretty average I'd say.

Surprised the punches didn't get deflected.

Everyone misses penalties at some point or another though, we're not going to find anyone who never misses..

Carson - 6 Finnan - 6 Hyypia - 4 Carra - 4 Riise - 4 Alonso - 6 Sissoko - 5 Gerrard - 7 Kewell - 7 Crouch - 4 Cisse - 5 Sinama 8 Think that's pretty fair...

f*** the fans though.

If that happened in Europe, every substitution would end up in a sending off.

I hope they do get Malaria, how ironic would that be?

Thought I'd be a "proper" translation for you. Marseille Daily announces on it's front page on Wednesday 28th December: "Hamed Cisse: My brother to Marseille? It's 90% certain". The brother- and ex-agent- of Djibril Cisse has effectively confided in the Marseille paper. Extracts... Hamed Cisse (brother of the player): "Since the start of March, Djibril has been thinking alot about his future. At one point he announced his desire to go to Marseille, next he decides against it. But now, I think he's decided for sure. Therefore, I can tell you, it's almost sorted! I would say his chances of coming to Marseille are 90%!". " Djibril has understood that his profile as a footballer, which always comes first, does not interest his current coach at Liverpool. Benitez prefers hold-up strikers like Crouch. That's why... Djibril doesn't want to lose another season when he's on top form. I think he must move. I am pushing him to join Marseille!" "Even for them (Liverpool), it's better that he plays! They paid 23 million euros for him, and his transfer value risks getting much lower by staying on the bench" "At Marseille, Djibril will be lethal" His exclusive image agent, Franck Hocquemiller, speaking to Marseille Daily on the 22nd December, adds: "Djibril has his morals. I've taken him the front pages of L'Equipe and France Football which talk of his transfer to Marseille... he smiled... You know Djibril has just had a long injury, and in such cases, a person like him needs to player. I think that Marseille have done what is required. At this point, Djibril would like the guarantee that Marseille have the means to buy him outright at the end of his loan spell (we're talking about a 6 month loan). But yes, this could be sorted soon.

To be fair to Garcia, he worked his little Spanish b******s off.

Was never a penalty, not in a million years. I'd have been fuming if it had been given against us- the lad had his hands by his sides.

Spurs are clueless.

I'd go, but I wouldn't go to watch England.

Can he take it though? Last I heard he was moaning about getting elbowed in the face in the cup and was threatening to knock the other guy out!

I know, let's give an award to the coach who had 200m to spend at a small southern club instead of awarding it to a coach of a northern club who won the European Cup on a small budget.
