So with the Bayern players still missing and the friendly on Saturday, I'd love to see this:

Hehe, even with 5-6 starters missing that team would be one of the favorites. I still cant believe how strong the german squad is. Only a Ronaldo / Messi / Aguero/ RVP like striker would represent a substantial upgrade to the players we already have :D

Martinez to meet the Liverpool owners in the next 36 hours!

:lol I still can't believe they're going for Martinez

That's if you believe the media. In reality they probably know absolutely nothing. A lot of things FSG have done since they arrived have been completed without the media knowing anything until it's already been announced. This, hopefully is one of them.

Martinez is a candidate, we know that much. And we only know that much because Dave Whelan doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. That's the only way the media were going to find out anything from this to be honest - direct from the clubs involved.

They're guessing, just like the bookies are.

She's boring. Rarely tweets.

My Twitter account is hilarious, I follow sports writers and athletes and then supermodels/hot actresses and pornstars.

I figured. Do you tweet? I'm finding you. I follow very few athletes. Their tweets are usual full of conceit and are boring.

Slightly related. Her real name is Olivia Cockburn. Why would you change that? It's so relevant.

Had she gone into porn, she would have been set.

Hazard speaks again;

At training for 'Little Devils' (Belgium) Hazard said: "It will be #MUFC, #MCFC or #CFC. Final choice depends on playing time + position...Not everyone can choose between three top clubs"

I'm starting believe this could happen for United. Someone bring me down.

"Fella on YNWA saying FSG have made contact with Rafa. Pinch of salt and all that."

Nope, not believing it. It won't happen. And yet still, I can't get rid of the tiny bit of hope I have that it might actually happen at some point. Why I can't, I don't know.

We won't sign Hazard or Kagaza. We are tight with our money and Hazard was never a viable option. We were in for Kagawa but weren't willing to pay Dortmund £16m to get him.

We'll end up signing Gaitan for more money than Kagawa goes for. Fabio will go out on loan and Phil Jones will be preferred over Rafael for the RB position.

No one is going to agree. But it's true. Between Hockey and Curling, plus Bobsled, cross country skiing, and alpine skiing. Amazing.

I do love me some Gymnastics in the Summer Games though.

I don't want another second spell manager. I like what has been hinted at so far: a maniacal genius in the Sporting Director position (Louis Van Gaal), a gentler man manager as technical director (Pep Segura), and a young, ambitious coach as manager (Martinez or Rodgers).

It'd be new, it'd be progressive and it would be exciting.

Also, Martinez is a fantastic manager and he will do very well at Liverpool if he is hired. We would have to be at the right place and at the right time to get a world class manager like Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp. It's not going to happen. Martinez and Rodgers are two guys that will go places - whether it is with us, or not.

I've a sneaking suspicion it's going to between us and Chelsea, rumours are he's favouring United because we can offer him the most playing time supposedly.

Woof. That training gear looks great.

1 - Swansea, the only Welsh team in the Premier League in 2011-12, had the highest % of goals scored by Englishmen (70.5%).

Goal-line technology will be tested at Wembley when England host Belgium in a friendly on 2 June.
Hawk-Eye, a camera-based system, will be used by independent testers during England's final game before Euro 2012.
But the match officials will have no access to data and the trial will have no impact on any contentious goal-line decisions.

Just collecting data, but glad it's happening
