SSN piece on Redknapp a bit nauseating. He never blames the players according to Merse.

Are we? I've never been lead away from St Mary's in the back of a Police car.

Looks like a big medical breakthrough at Bonjela.

People who believe the idea of playing for Liverpool had never occurred to Lambert before he met Gerrard. I don't have a problem with Gerrard personally but I can live without the endless Scouse folklore which will come with it. Probably win Sports Personality of the Year etc.

Extra time and a couple of injuries would do for me. Preferably Sterling and Coutinho.

Incidentally Matt Mills is the Bolton skipper.

Lallana starts for Liverpool on BBC1 at 1945. The mighty Bolton are deemed too big a challenge for Lovren.

This would-be Scottish football hard man proves you're never too 'ard for a bag of Haribo Starmix

Looks like he was trying to do a Hudson and the left wing stalled at the last second. Looks like. Nick, I would be more worried about the thousands of people who will die in car crashes today and driving your family to the airport. You're right though, horrible to watch.

I seem to remember we didn't bother with Beattie. That went well.

Decent price for a very capable player. With him and Targett LB is starting to look good for the forseable future. As weird as it sounds, I'm glad Ryan isn't 'too good' for us. By that I mean I can't see Liverpool chucking a desperate£25m at him any time soon, so he should stick around a while.

Even Villa aren't stupid enough to buy their own manager.

His talent being 3 goals in half a season, getting suspended for kicking a Geordie in the nuts and head butting a team mate?

Day two of the pre season tests. Vettel seems to be setting the pace in the Ferrari with the Mercedes looking pretty quick too. McLaren having a lot of problems with reliability and haven't really set a competitive lap time yet.

The nose is a bit more Phil Thompson than last years Steve Bruce.

There could well be a God but he isn't necessarily a good guy. I remain open minded, agnostic if you will.

It is inarguable really. I think clips like this should be shown to children in all schools, churches, Mosques, synogog... sinnergogue... sin... Jewish thingies. It should be shown under the pretence, "we've told you what we believe, this is an alternative view point. Make your own mind up before choosing a faith."

I wouldn't start with Mane and EE personally. I know it's a bit of a football cliché but having pace on the bench to come on against tired legs can be pretty useful. Just look at Long when we played Leicester. I'd start with Tadic and Elia. JWP, Reed and Davis making up the rest of the midfield assuming the other candidates aren't fit yet. I'd perceiver with Gardos who has been excellent up until last week. I don't even think he was that bad against Palace.

Aside from that one goal against City, his on the pitch contribution was utterly forgettable. A worse signing IMO.

Sharp may have just won it for Leeds at Huddersfield.

A shame to see him go as I don't think we've outgrown him as a player at all. As a reliable midfield option to have there are few better. Sadly he wants to be more than that, a regular first team player. I hope he gets his England call up one day but in a world where Tom Cleverley has more caps than Matt Le Tissier, I very much doubt it. Is he really worse than Henderson or Carrick?

Bit of a lack of sponsors at Sauber. It looks dull but at least it's not grey. I have to say I like the new Ferrari.

An interesting debate to be had here I think. A documentary into legalised brothels in Germany. Exploitative and sexist or a safer, cleaner environment for girls who would only be working the streets anyway?

The new Schteeve. Look familiar? It's pretty much the force India livery with inverted colours on the back. Its going to be a waste of time having a colour TV next year. So far it's a white Williams, a black Lotus and two grey McLaren and Force Indias.
