Football

Jesus. We've come a long way.
Cue loads of quips

Babel - yeah they were good....

Give us a clue on the world class players...

reina best keeper in the prem during his time here
won golden glove 3 or 4 times even with that team in front of him

carragher as good a liverpool defender as i've seen* " mr 110% "

*until virgil rocked up

Steve Bruce confirms a cabbage was thrown at him before the game. #avfc

'cos he looks like one of the cabbage patch kids, do you reckon?

gonna plagiarise some puns from lfc forum as to why it happened

" you carrot be serious "
" he's going through a bad patch "
" he was asking floret "

" I heard they banned the throwing of vegetables at sporting events years ago, it was called Cole's Law I think. "

" lettuce show him a bit of respect "

" I think that incident showed the fans are ready to turnip the pressure. "

i expect he's stewing with rage.

Ok, that's it, everyone on ignore...

Reina wasn’t even first choice for his national team, how does that make him world class?

And Carragher? Seriously? He couldn’t keep Ledley King out of the national team.

I thought Carragher opted out from the national team? - edit - i seem to have made this up in my head
Reina was pretty good though.

Ngog was OK. I liked Kelly. Is he at Stoke now?

palace possibly

oh forgot shelvey

3 worldies

Bruce out.

Not worth posting anything here about Liverpool, the jealousy is too intense now.

No maligning the reputation of Ledley! Carragher wasn’t even close to being as good a defender as he was..

Fuck me, you guys are idiots...

Like Paul Scholes he's got better with retirement etc etc
(in before @Manc_Ronnie gets there)

TBF to Ledley he was pretty bloody good, and it was a shame about his injuries. Truly, only the deluded sort of fuckwits who FOLLOW Liverpool from afar would consider Reina or Carragher world class. Reina probably wasn't even the best keeper at Anfield.

Top 10 for those 3 seasons possibly. Buffon, Casillas, Cech, Valdés, van der Sar are all ahead of him.

According to dicki’s rhetoric Joe Hart is the best goalkeeper, ever.

Steve 'Cabbagehead' Bruce sacked.

I hope Ed Woodward is aware of this development.

Bruce out.

The cabbage did it's work. Very interested to see the ambition of the new owners with the next manager. Would be nice to see someone who used tactics, coaching and research for once.

Given the sack, he'll be able to carry his cabbages home now
