I'm guessing they're not the preferred fabric softener partner for Liverpool FC.

Flamini out for 3 weeks.

This will be the test, we have nobody who can fill in for him effectively. This is why I wanted to sign an extra defensive midfielder in the summer.

It's going to be a hard few weeks.

Is anyone going to the game tomorrow?

^^Very pleased about this. Especially as we have Coutinho set to return for Saturday

Yes Tenderloin. Are you?

Just when you thought he couldn't sink any lower.....

Yes Tenderloin. Are you?

Turns out I won't have tickets - balls. :(

You going along with that handsome young chap from Highgate?

We had to listen to all his old bollocks for 27yrs - why can't he just fuck off?

Just thinking the same thing

Indeed.

Yesterday I missed out on West Ham away tickets which rather annoyed me.

Look on the bright side, Clive, you won't have to venture into the East End.

the s*n can go fuck themselves but a local paper getting blocked seems poor form

the manbey might be open now

A quick google doesn't pick anything up... got any details

to be fair it is a bit of a way from the ground and not really a boozer you'd chose to go to if you had any other choices !
but i love it

Arteta banned and Flamini out for 3 weeks, Ramsey's form due for a dip - Wenger out? I give it about a week.

Arteta is only banned for the carling cup game... wont make a difference really

If Phillip Lahm doesn't win the Ballon D'Or, there's something wrong.

I see Benitez is nominated for coach of the year.

If Suarez doesn't win it are LFC gonna be making some protest t-shirts?

^ Any excuse to talk about your club...

In related news; anyone else think Skrtel is looking really bad this season? Could have given away a handful of penalties at the weekend with his shirt pulling & man-handling in the box. It's not the first time either - it's like it's something they've practiced in training but is actually just really poor performance.
