I'll never never understand why Fergie says these sort of things. He's taking the siege mentality and turning it up to 11, which sets up the perfect conditions for a potential backfire. I think it's obvious from Williams' body language that he meant it, and he just swung his foot out of frustration, so criticize him of you must, but it's just embarrassing to call it the most dangerous act ever committed on a football field.

My grandma would buy me sweets when I was a kid, but my mum or more likely my dad would have slapped the shit out of me if I had taken money from her for doing basic chores.
And what do you guys do on boxing day?

Recover from Christmas Day
well that's what my family does anyway. A lot of people go shopping as shops reopen on the 26th with lots of reduced pricesEat.
Christmas is a big deal in my family. My grandparents (on my mothers side) stay over for a few days and my aunts and uncles come to our house after dinner on Christmas day too.
There is always mountains of food left over.
Watch Newcastle get rolled up and smoked at Old Trafford.
Recover from Christmas Day
It's pretty much what we do here, but we call it second christmas day
Tomorrow I'll be at my grandpa's house with the family. Lots of food and handing each other presents.
Anyways, have to do some late christmas shopping now!
Our competition never goes on during the christmas days. The players spend it at home with their families and shortly after they go away for a training trip. Ajax goes to Brazil this year.

Suckers, we hand out presents today.
Just going to be with my dad, his girlfriend and a few random family members, luckily nothing too big so I don't have to talk with too many people I don't care about.

I'm going to get a 12 month Times subscription with my christmas money. They're absolutely top draw for Liverpool related content, and Rory Smith's an excellent writer, that to me is worth the outlay, especially as I'll be able to digest it iOS style on da move.
Yeah I love their sport section, it's so expensive though compared to the Guardian.
Malcolm, is that you?

Every one of the 530 Borussia Dortmund employees is getting a 3k bonus (1,6m in all).

Yeah sounds like its pretty much done. It'll be nice to get our business done early for a change.
That interview with Suarez on SSN makes me warm inside

Going to try and find it.
Oh, and my RAWK account got activated today, merry christmas.
Also, my mum's bought us Rafa's Champions League book and Pep's book for christmas. Going to start with Pep at about 11ish tomorrow and read until my eyes bleed.
This is going to be another depressing transfer window.
Need oil money badly.
Well if I get some new football boots in the new year I'll get them from Sports Direct.
That won't help. Ashley will just spend the profit on Greggs sausage rolls.

You guys can use it as an opportunity to make a lighter, more compact, more efficient squad by offloading some of the deadweight like Ba, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote etc.
Downing is in Eurosports European team of the week haha! They're also reporting that Chelsea are paying £1.5m to Sturridge to offset his wage decrease.
Look at all those players in the box. Valencia from last season would have blasted by his marker and put in a cross. Now he stands still, shimmies, then loses the ball.
He still did it a lot last year too, most people though seemed not to notice as he still put in a good ball 2/3 times rather than standing like a fucking statue.

he nearly died there in the end
Literally just watched it, on part two now. That's where I got the thing about Lucas and Henderson.

Football editor of some Russian sports website is saying on twitter that Neuer, Lahm, Gomez and Kroos are gay.
My housemates are convinced it's Khedira and Ozil who're gay together, which I doubted.
Passing this on to them, there was that whole thing about a number of the German players being homosexual.
:lol:lol:lol
So with Sturridge and most likely Ince as new signings. Is there anyone else you would like to see us (realistically) sign?
I would like to see Butland as a signing. Secures a future keeper and gives Renia something to think about. Loan him out straight way though so he keeps getting first team football.
A back up left back would be useful, until Robinson makes his way into the squad.

Yep, both of those. Butland will be really good, I've heard Steel's a good prospect from Boro, too. Left back is also necessary, and loan Robinson out for first team experience.
RAWK reckon Pacheco and Robinson are going to Blackpool, and Ngoo is going to Birmingham. Inglethorpe at work.

The sad part was that he also claimed that some of their Bayern teammates find it hard to deal with them because of that.
Probably for the best, all those players need to get first team experience, but none can really break into the Liverpool first team at this time. The loan did wonders for Jonjo, so hopefully it has the same effect.
That's just ridiculous.
I'd have thought Lahm especially, being the Germany captain, would be unanimously liked, regardless of sexuality. Pretty depressing stuff, especially that they have to hide it.
So Rodgers said his priority in the summer is a top number 10, but Sneijder's seemingly off now, the club are missing a trick if they don't at least try for him.
And don't confuse this with me thinking we're at the level in which we can lure Sneijder, but we at least have to try, no? When Spurs signed VDV they perhaps bought above their means at that current time, and look how well that worked for them.

There is not one openly gay, active player in the world (afaik), so I'm not sure one person should come out just by himself - he'd turn into a hate magnet since football fans are, on avg., more homophobic than regular folk. I don't think anyone would debate that.
The best course of action would probably be a group coming out across leagues and nations.
Lahm could very well be a closet homosexual (it has been rumored for a long time). But he's far from being very well liked, in fact, most fans dislike him with a passion. Even some Bayern fans don't think he's fit to be a captain of anything. The negativity probably stems from his cocky attitude (napoleon complex) and other shortcomings rather then his alleged homosexuality (I know it's true for me).

Thanks for the insight into Lahm, as a Brit all this is lost on me until someone spells it out.
On the homosexuality debate, I really think a group do need to come out en mass, so not one figure takes all the attention, and it offers a platform for others to come out without having to cope with the ramifications alone.
