I think we'll do better next season, probably not challenge for the title or anything, but with new owners and a bit of financial backing things should improve. Who knows, maybe Torres will not be injured for half the season again, ya never know.

If he's still there. If City get CL football next season and come knocking, I can see Torres leaving Liverpool.

Not this summer, I don't think. He won't ever go to City. Of that I am certain.

He could go to Barca or Italy. Can't see him going anywhere else.

This is not what I want to hear just weeks before the world cup.

Massive story on Gerrard coming out in the next few days/week according to the 'net. Basically he got some 16 years old girl pregnant and his wife has been having an affair with an unknown Derby County player. Apparently he's pursuing some court injunction against the story, but we know how Terry's went... I hope this isn't true, but a few sites are reporting it.

That's not new, it's been talked about for weeks. There haven't been any reliable sources supporting it though.

If any of it is true, what's worst:
Cheating on your wife with an underage girl and getting her pregnant?
or,
Getting cheated on with a Derby player?

I'm pretty sure it's true seeing as it's supposedly been broken by the same "informant" of the Terry case. Never been a fan of Gerrard - he's just a thug. Can footballers seriously not just keep it in their pants though?! Especially when he has a fiiit wife.

Fine, if we wanna talk about unsubstantiated rumours, what about when Fergie supposedly got off a speeding ticket by telling the policeman he'd shat himself, as he was in such a hurry. :D

Or Rooney, with an OAP in a brothel. :lol

:lol :lol Shat himself, that's golden. I'll have to keep that in mind if I'm ever in a shitty situation.

And OAP = ?

That Gerrard story would explain why he's been so shit this year. Torres was interviewed recently and said he was worried the English game was going to cripple him, so I'm expecting him and Benitez to be at Juve next year. Possibly Gerrard as well, unless he goes to Inter. People are suggesting Roy Hodgson as next Liverpool manager, but would he want it? He seems to have a good thing going at Fulham, whilst Liverpool would be massive expectations and no money.

Sheffield Wednesday got relegated yesterday, 2-2 draw not enough to keep them up. I'm not really a fan, but I live in Sheffield and have certain sympathies with the two Sheffield teams. Minus points to the Palace fans who ran onto the pitch & taunted the Wednesday supporters, could have been nastier than it was.

Juventus have failed to qualify for the Champions league as well if im not mistaken, so i can't see Torres wanting to move there.

Torres to Real is about as likely as Gerrard signing for Man U :lol . I think Torres could go to Juventus if Rafa does - he seems to have a good relationship with him and apparently Juve have money to spend.

I don't know about that; I recall Torres shaking his head over a Benitez substitution a few weeks ago. I think Torres is actually more likely to stay if Benitez goes. Depends on the coach that comes in, if Liverpool somehow manage to procure Mourinho, Capello, Lippi, Wenger or Van Gaal I don't expect Torres or Gerrard to leave. Sadly, if the owners sensibly installed a Hudgson, McClaren or Allardyce then the club house will be empty after a week.

Nah, you've made it less accurate. There's far more hate between Liverpool & Man U than there is between Liverpool & Everton. Gerrard's family, like mine, is split between the two - hence the picture.

Torres on Benitez:

"The difference between him and my other managers is that when I was at Atletico I was always over-protected," he told the News of the World. "They didn't ask so much of me.

"Here, Rafa demands a lot and I have to live up to expectations. Some players need to be spoilt and other players like me need to always be pushed, and to have more asked of us.

"If I score twice in a game I want to hear that I played badly to help me do even better next time. Rafa is ruthless and sometimes it is tiring but he knows the right way to deal with me.

"If Rafa had not been here I would never have come. He has taught me a lot and he has helped me go beyond my limits and to be the player I am today."

So who is making the World Cup thread? Only one month + a few days away!

I'd like to. I made the Euro thread and it rocked.

Unfortunately I follow gaming side's 1-2 week before event rule so someone is probably going to beat me to it because I follow convention.

I don't know why, but that reminded me of a very old Southpark episode that was about Jimbo and the boys doing some real huntingbusiness. I think deers were involved.

I don't think i did it. Yes, there are family that have both Everton and Liverpool fans (like mine as i am an Everton fan), but the hate is still going strong and could get out of hand sometime.

Gerard used to be an Everton fan, no denying in that, however that's old days mate. Now, all he does is dive against us.

As more factual news, bat least we have won the FA cup
thanks ladies

Gratz to Tottenham fans, they deserved the win and riches with the sheer hard work and soul they displayed against City.

Also, Crouch is beast.

I think after rosters are announced someone should make a USMNT specific thread to educate US-GAF and hopefully get more of them interested in soccer...

Sounds like a good idea. Though, what do you mean by "educate"?
Like, post stats, background info. on our yanks going to South Africa?
