The temp gauge on your Ferrari is redlined, you're 5 miles from home after an 85 mile trip. Do you a) continue, risking engine damage; b) change to the Lada; or c) change to the Skoda?

No I don't. Skrtel didn't even jump, in fact he ducked, so he clearly heard a shout from Reina.

Have Skrtel tell him "Don't even try to use your skills anywhere near me". Can't remember ManUs home kit, but brown shows up against their pants, right?

Anybody have any idea how Nabil el Zhar is doing? Seemed to be among the leaders of the pack for the reserves-to-1st team jump (played and scored in the CC against Cardiff), but lately it's gone completely quiet. I know he's not playing for the ressies, can't seem to find any mention of an injury anywhere, anyone have an idea what's going on?

He is. I can see Carra struggling to get in the 1st team next season on a regular basis.

But Mascherano finds the net 1-1

I can hear FOAR

Baby, he can drive my car.

wanted to check the table, picked the Guardian website to do it: they've only updated it already with tonight's win

6 crazy minutes at Stamford Bridge? I can hope can't I....

There you go bullying the Ant again....

Weyhey, when did he learn to do that?

nope - prolific scorer in the ressies was he?

Remember Neil Mellor?

in case anyone's interested: e-season's now working for me

Yeah me too.

This isn't news, big or small. This is quite obviously b******s.

If I could've picked anyone to score the game-breaker tonight, I'd have picked him. WELL IN DIRK.

I don't believe the BBC report is true: I distinctly remember a Rafa interview on dottie vee where he said we did have scouts at the ACN.

I thought he did very well today. He sliced a couple of clearances as I remember, but he was very solid. I loved the moment when they had a corner (might have been their first) and first Carragher and then Reina manhandled him into position...

Couldn't agree more.

A few boos to be heard when he got the ball earlier

And if you thought about who's actually playing for us, you might have earned your popcorn.

PLTBT - seriously. I may be wrong, but Kraft seems to be in these things to WIN, not make profits primarily. That's what LFC needs, not a choice between profit seekers or other profit seekers with deeper pockets.

I wouldn't put it that way. Up to now, there's been an improvement season on season - this season is the first one that's shaping up like it may be a disappointment. In my book, Rafa should have the chance to turn this around, but frankly, if it doesn't happen next season, I don't think it will. I think the main problem in this scenario would be that the players would have lost the belief in the manager that is necessary for success. I believe this happened with Houllier and that is why it was time for him to go.
