Inter Milan's place should be given to Liverpool.

Roy Carroll has been released.

Any comments about him releasing the ball into his own net against Spurs are entirely welcome.

thank fuck. guarenteed first team football my fucking arse.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times... Roy Carroll is a cunt.

At the end of the day he was no where near good enough for Man U.

Also England team vs USA:

England team: James, G Johnson, Brown, Campbell, A Cole, J Cole, Jenas, Carrick, Richardson, Crouch, A Johnson.

Jobber central :y:

Lads, who do you think United should sign as a keeper?

I have randomly the following names being linked
1) Buffon - 35m offer already been done according to tomorrows papers.
2) Robinson - Fatty for 10m.
3) Casillas
4) Frey
5) Hildebrand

Realistically why the fuck would Buffon or Casillas bail? Robinson would be good - I reckon Cudicini though.

United have no chance in signing either Buffon or Casillas given their financial state. Robinson is the goods - I've always said Arsenal or Man U should have gotten in their before Tottenham. Frey is good and is a possibility I guess. Doubt Chelsea would sell Cudicini to their rivals - if he leaves at all it will be abroad. As a Newcastle fan I fear they may sell Given and I think thats who they'll get if they sign anyone.

Hildebrand is on a free transfer this summer. I will not, could not, understand it if a top team does not give him a go on a free.

If they don't go for Hildebrand realistically I can't see how Shay Given could turn them down.

Very loyal, loves Newcastle. He should go, he belongs at a better team. He's just coming to his peak now, he could spend 4 or 5 years with a top team. Manchester United would be tough to score against with Given in nets.

Hildebrand signed a new deal in the end didn't he? Very good keeper anyway.

Casillas's contract talks are meant to have stalled, so i guess United could make an effort for him aswell.

Anyway, Crouch is out of the England game with an ankle injury i think, Alan Smith is meant to be replacing him.

Oh yeah, and Van der Vaart is going to Hamburg for £4.5m :|

He's meant to have an attitude problem but i'm certain he can do better than that.

Well it's not as if he's causing a ruckus trying to get out. But as you say he is loyal, so for him to come out and say some of the stuff he's said towards the end of the season (i.e. being disappointed, wanting to win trophies etc) I'd take as a sign he's ready to up sticks (pun not intended). He's already been there what, 8 years now? I don't think the Newcastle fans would begrudge him a move if it comes down to it, to be honest.

Apparently, Real Madrid are gonna be making an offer for Buffon this summer.

So wheres Casilas meant to be off to then if they want Buffon

That's the big question

BBC Sport says that it looks increasingly likely that Liverpool will be given a place straight into the Champions League next season probably at the expense of Fenerbache. The qualifiers clash with some other committment that Liverpool had I think the European Super Cup. Good news all round I believe.

Why Fenerbahce?

I'd say if they're going to kick a team out, let them kick out Inter

I was thinking that too. I have no idea where Fenerbahce came from to be honest. But heres the link for everyone:Reds getting in?

I think it's because Turkey have the lowest ranked league out of those that are given automatic qualifying spots.

That would make sense. Are they the lowest/only team to qualify from Turkey?

They should boot Inter Milan out and give Liverpool the place. The Italians need to be punished properly for the crowd trouble.

No, I think Turkey get 2 places, top team qualifies automatically.

I haven't been around since last Monday, I don't think I need to say anything more about Wednesday that hasn't already been said, just the most amazing night, and for once, and I honestly mean this, I wasn't negative at half time, and genuinly believed we could do it.

In Rafa we trust. Absolutely amazing.

Also, I hope Harry Kewell has his legs broken so he knows what its like when something really does "snap"

Couldn't agree more.

Frankly, the very fact that AC fans behaved so well, both after they were beaten on Wednesday and through the whole Inter thing, shows that the Inter fans need to be punished severely.

I'm not sure exactly how they should sort out this whole thing, but I do think it is ridiculously backward that they hadn't thought of this possibility in the past. Everton deserve the Champions League spot and it shouldn't be taken away from them, just like it shouldn't have been taken away from the Spanish club when the same thing happened with Real.

So Fener finished second in Turkey then?

No Fenerbahce are champions. As it stands they go through to the group stages automatically, same as Chelsea and Arsenal. The idea is to give that spot to Liverpool and put Fenerbahce into the qualifying rounds. Which the Turks are a bit pissed about.

Ah k, and the team that finished second in turkey is in the qualifiers too anyway?

I see now

Awesome League One play-off final, finished 4-2 to Sheffield Wednesday after extra time.

In the end he simply wasn't good enough.

Felt a bit sorry for Hartlepool really, two dipshit mistakes and it cost them the game :-\

West Ham - Preston has a lot to live up to.

2 for 2 in play off predictions.

Come on Preston!

And look who finished top scorer in La Liga too :D

Just noticed this. Make it £50 and Give me a deadline for when Hoddle can leave and I'll take it (I don't think he'll be there a year one way or another)

Alright £50, if he stays past December 31st

January 31?

Come on Preston. Don't like West Ham at all and I've actualy got a Preston shirt som come on Preston.

Oh and Congrats to Diego for last night. I would say Villiarreal could be a bit of a suprise package next season in the Champs League. Some of the times I have seen them, they have played some magic football.

They'll probably lose Riquelme this summer.

They will certainly lose Riquelme this summer as he is going back to Barca and they can't afford his wages to keep him.

Yeah that will be a big blow to them. Riquelme's an awesome player.
