Future, maybe, but currently he's not at the level Liverpool need to get to where they want to be in the table. You wouldn't see the likes of Arsenal, United or City jumping to snap him up. Might be a good player in a few years time, but right now he's off the top 4 standard Liverpool are aiming...

Liverpool have some top, top class players in their squad, and I'd agree with the assessment that Agger, Saurez, Lucas and Gerrard would make the starting XI for City. The only reason I'd take Hart over Reina is age, and I believe there is nothing between them, though Reina is perhaps more error...

Based on end of season form I can see Gundogan pushing Bender out of the squad, though I would love to see both playing side by side. Won't happen in the near future though, as Kehl has well and truly established himself as the leader of the side, though Weidenfeller is a more than capable...

Haven't been for very long. How long I stay is yet to be seen.

Do end up with the problem that the best team at that point isn't always in there. Rovers trailing by 10 odd points in 4th. A team good 8 months ago to win the title aren't necessarily going to be the best side for qualification now.

It's always funny how the ones who seem to "pick an average team on fifa" always seem to pick a team that are now successful. I have no problem with people who support successful clubs, as long as they stick by their decisions and don't entirely neglect the rest of the footballing world (that...

All about Shamrock rovers. Hoping they go out late enough to manage another escapade in the Europa league. That was absolutely fantastic last season. Having a local club playing teams like Tottenham and Rubin Kazan is brilliant, even if they don't have a snowballs hope in hell of getting...

My fathers side of the family is all from Dortmund, Uncle a season ticket holder, and the whole city is just generally BVB mad. Grown up with Jerseys and going to games since I was about 4. Never really followed that intently until the 2007 season when I was 13, but then again, who does...

I think it's fair to say I haven't been here long enough to know what this forum can reach in terms on entertainment, though it seems to have the potential to throw up something big. One observation I made in my 5 odd years at stick sports is that the general discussion forum ebbs and flows in...

Wayne Rooney has to be up there for the sheer number of stupid brain snaps. The stamp which led to a red, the kick which saw him miss the first two games of euro 2012. Great player, but get him a little angry and he's a train wreck.

Such an unnecessary tour... Does anybody really care for a needless 5 OD series between two sides that already have 5 game test series between each other every two years. Ashes are next year and we'll have another 400000 ODI matches after that anyway. Leave it be, even if I am happy Australia...

Julian Schieber to Dortmund is a done deal pending a medical. I'll take that as a replacement for Barrios.

Don't actually mind the JEEP logo to be honest. Suits it better than other sponsorship logo's IMO.

Chelsea have more of a squad than City did originally though. Chelsea won the league 2 years ago, and the champions league last year. It'll take much, much less to get them to a title winning team then it did City. Next season isn't without possibility.

In slightly more related matters than "oh no isn't my Greece opinion dreadful, and aren't you getting awfully annoyed at me", Paddy Power now officially have Germany as favourites to win the tournament. Despite my earlier post, it's probably justified. Still hasn't been a single side that's...

You may or may not have noticed the distinct lack of any of my posts in the AFL sections of this board. There is more to the forum than just "football".

Well, you're a team that's now failed to qualify for the champions league twice in a row. That's far from top quality mate! I'd take Arsenals squad over yours, I'd certainly take both the United squads over yours, despite all of united's flaws, and I think I might take the Liverpool squad over...

Looks like Carroll fans are justified right at the minute. England's biggest threat coming from the wings and set plays. Carroll could make a big difference if and when Woy decides to bring him on.

Being deadly serious. I can't see what the fuss is about. Without Adebayor they don't look a side with the capabilities of challenging for the title, which according to the majority of pundits back around febuary they were apparently capable of doing. I see them more as a good side on a good...

All social welfare should be cut off after 2 years. People too lazy to go get a job, however degrading it may be (legal obviously) shouldn't receive charity from the start. People should get help while they're looking for a job, or just been fired, but there's a limit to that, and they should...

Laugh at the higher profile thing. Within Australia, maybe, but outside it? The names of the Australian national cricket side are known around the world. What more could you want? I know being a foreigner who has no real love for AFL, my opinion doesn't really count, but I'd much rather go for...

I'm skeptical. As a German fan this is the worst I've seen the team play in about 2 years. Don't seem to be able to develop any kind of pace into their game, which is what killed so many teams in South Africa and over the qualifiers. I think Loew needs to inject some pace into the side, and...

The mighty Gareth Bale with the fantastic Jermain Defoe up front. I'm sure City are shaking in their boots. There's nobody genuinely class in the spurs squad. Better than the sum of their parts IMO Van Der Vaart is good, not great, and Modric looks to be on his way out. Not that I've ever...

Traps out. How he can continue trying to justify the exclusion of James McLean and premiership players like Coleman is laughable. We've the guts of a good side, but when you have the likes of Stephen Ward, Sean St. Ledger and Kelly (the first time I've ever heard of the lad) standing on the...

Thank smokers for paying more tax... really? I'm not sure about Australia, but in the emerald isle at least, smoking related illnesses cost the state much more than is collected in from indirect taxation on cigarettes. So yeah, if anything that makes the decision to smoke even more selfish, as...

Listening to this I can't help but think we may cause an upset today. Need a lot of running, and a bit of interrupting in that spanish midfield. If they can't hit a rhythm they're utterly poor, and I think that's one thing that may play into our advantage. Add in that they don't have much in...

Ohne Holland fahrn wir zur EM!!! Too delighted about that much. Hummels was an absolute force yet again. He's fantastic.

Dropped back in 2008 as far as I remember. Is 35 to be fair, and hasn't really been all that impressive in the county championship since being dropped. Had his time.

To be fair, losing your two main seamers from one test to the next is to big a blow for any bowling attack, never mind when your number 3/4 seamer (Tremlett) is also out. Not convinced by Onions. Still reckon Finn is a fantastic strike bowler, though not a front line bowler at the moment...

Abuse of power? Really? Giving people fines for not having tickets is what they're employed to do. Have a ticket and you have no problem, otherwise you should cop a fine. Public transport is not a free service, and they're there to ensure that's maintained. The only give tickets to those that...
