I wonder how many goals he's scored for Liverpool...

More than torres has scored for chelsea and Javanovic was free ! - ish

edit. one less than torres actually
he didn't score for liverpool

Because pre match friendlies are always the way to judge a team. We smashed our preseason last year. This year. Not so good.
The result, in our case, will be the same. Mid table battle. Flirtation with relegation. A couple of excellent displays. Hopefully our keeper won't be so fucking shit or so mental.

that aimed at me? fully aware preseason games have no real standing I've said so many times, I was just using the amount scored in a game last night as a point of reference in that yjc, and jovanovic haven't scored that many in the whole season.

Don't get me wrong man u shipping 8 tickles me pink but it ultimately means nothing

Aimed at anyone who thinks that preseason results really count for anything.

Apart from The Bass Charity Vase obvz.

Looks like Enrique is Anfeild bound. 6mil up front 2 mil on add ons. Signing by the end of the week.

Jesus! United got thrashed 8-2 by some second rate French team

I know that pre seasons don't count, but that is a little extreme

Some great quotes here

Check out the picture of Joey. Is he trying to make himself look like Hitler?

The United XI was mainly made up of celbrities and sposonsors who'd paid to play.

Ahh ok I missed that.

Robbie Williams and those other Take That twats were probably involved then?

isn't Robbie Williams a Stoke fan?

if twats were involved, was beckham there ?

nope, sorry. It's Port Vale.

Nerd question: How many Wet Wednesdays in Stoke have there been?

Brilliant !1

There have only been two matches played, on a Wednesday, in the prem at Stoke.

^ Nerd.

Pistanator and Kopites: Is this right?
In the years from 2000-11 Everton have played Liverpool 11 times at home. They've lost 8 and won 3. While Liverpool have played Everton 11 times at home and have drawn 6 and won 5.

None of the Kopites will have a clue, but that sounds about right.

But were they wet?

Dates and Met Office archive data please or you are not nerdy enough.

I'm working on that.
They were played in the same season, in October and March. I'm guessing yes.

Least favourite day of the week to play a match in the prem?

ohh that's so awesome.

Saturday lunchtime has to be the worst point to play football. It's always a low scoring affair.

so it seems Aguero should probably take some advice from Tevez.

He missed training today due to a stomach upset. He should probably stick to the Maccy D's and Burger King.
