    I've probably watched him every time he's played on Sky this season and highlight packages like MOTD.
    Granted I don't look for a stream for their non televised games :p

    Ah no thats fair enough, I don't mean to belittle your opinion, you've seen enough to make an opinion in fairness. I just think differently, for the right wages he'd be an astute addition provided there was another first XI midfielder on the way to partner Lucas.

    Newcastle are interested so he must be good ;)

    Newcastle won't pay big wages for Bosmans, think it goes against their transfer policy these days.

    But he'd be a really good signing for Newcastle aswell if they could get him.

    Have a feeling PSG could raid Newcastle this summer for Cabaye or Ben Arfa, and Newcastle would probably sell too

    I actually don't think Spearing is good either but then neither is Diame.
    If he was that good he'd have forced his way in to the Wigan team again.
    Just because he's a bosman doesn't make him cheap.
    Joe Cole has cost the club an absolute fortune.


    Like how Mascherano was unable to force his way into the West Ham team?


    Not saying Diame is anything like Mascherano, but sometimes not getting into a team (and often getting into a team) has very little to do with the player's actual quality.

    As for Diame vs Spearing, it would be Diame everytime for me. Bigger, faster, stronger, with genuine bite in the tackle. He would not be on my own list of players that I would like to see at Liverpool, but he has shown enough in his 100+ games in England that he has some ability and that he looks to be a level or two above Spearing. I think in terms of general skills,workrate, heart, and determination that Spearing can match him, but the huge gulf in physical qualities means that Diame can make more out of the qualities they have in common than Spearing can.

    There are rumours in the French media that Montpellier (if they sell Belhanda) and his old club Lille are interested in bringing him back to France.

    Aquilani starting for Milan today. It's still not enough for him to make the 25 points things though is it?

    Also the signing of Fiorentina's Montolivo for Milan has gone through officially.

    I'm intrigued by what will happen to Alberto but at this stage i'm so f**king bored of the whole thing, i would just love someone to come out tomorrow morning and say what is going to happen, and that be the end of it.

    No it's not enough. He will end up on 24.5 points. I am surprised they're starting him today. If I was Aquilani I wouldn't be exactly busting a gut for them.

    What do you want to happen today ?

    Liverpool win (obviously)
    Arsenal win
    *Spurs win


    *Then as much as it pains me I will then want Chelsea to win the CL for obvious reasons :P

    Doesn't really matter, can't go higher or lower in the table. I'm sure he'll perform to put himself in the shop window.

    Spurs Win
    Newcastle win
    Arsenal lose

    Bayern to win the CL

    Liverpool win mainly so Niallo (I think) wins his bet with Willy.....although that will be a missed opportunity since he went for money and not soccer forum access.

    Purely footballing reasons and what CL money could do/bring to Spurs at the detriment of LFC

    If Chelsea beat Blackburn today it doesn't matter what pool do, Niallo will lose. We are 9 points ahead at the moment, the bet was that pool finish within 8 points or less of us.

    danniemcq also owes me €20 for a straight bet that pool would finish ahead of us.

    In fairness Masch was only there a few months and Pardew didn't seem to want either of them at the time.
    Diame as you say is nowhere near as good a player Mascherano.
    Anaolgies can be used for lots of things like Real Madrid only sign good players yet they signed Julien Faubert.
    I was merely using that along with what I've seen of him to say IMHO i'd prefer if Liverpool didn't sign him.
    I get the impression some people think cos he's he's cheap which we know is not the case

    They paid big enough money for Sylvain Marveuax it would seem last summer.
    Once bitten twice shy maybe?

    Not very important but will Liverpool be wearing new kit today, seen it happen before in last game of season, or will it be Adidas for one last time?

    You're getting better at confirming stuff.....carry on.

    Add a Chelsea loss to my wish list.

    the Adidas contact runs until June so I doubt they will be wearing the Warrior kit

    Do you reckon there's anything in the stories? Skrtel just doesn't strike me as the type to agitate for a move. Plus he might be looking at being given the captaincy in a couple of years, if that means anything. He's had one very good season, many clubs would have ditched him a couple of years ago he was so error prone. I can't see him wanting out. Hopefully not anyway.

    Warrior would have to pay Adidas compensation for the remaining two weeks or so that their contract runs for so that's unlikely we will be wearing the new one

    Marveaux has a long history of injuries, Diame has been an ever present in the premiership for the 2009/2010 season, 2010/11 season and up to January of this season

    I dont think the deal with adidas expires until the end of the month so i doubt it very much.

    I don't think there is anything to them but stuff like him being out today will no doubt add to speculation.

    I don't want to see him go but if he did I think Agger/Coates would form a solid partnership.
