Think it might be non-Scousers who made the site

* yes, you've guessed it, there isn't actually a Liverpool End of Season party (although we think there should be! Maybe it could double up as a farewell party to the Fat Spanish Waiter as Liverpool crash out of competition after competition.?!) We're also not in any way connected to Liverpool Football Club, any of the players, but you should have guessed that too! We think it's hilarious to wave the wristbands in the faces of any Scousers you happen to know, and congratulate them on their record-breaking season! To think that some pundits were claiming that this could be their year...!

So Man Utd lose their impressive home record with a poor performance.

It wasn't that poor really considering the side put out.

Those young players will gain experience from that outing, which bodes well for the future...........

Sir Alex Ferguson - with qualification for the last 16 already assured - fielded an experimental line-up and gave some of Manchester United's young brigade a chance to shine on the big European stage.

Didn`t see that one coming!

I think Hart was just very unlucky, Portsmouth have been playing some decent footie.

I see Gary Neville been running his mouth of again, perhaps if he ran as much in training he wouldn't be stuck in the reserves...

The billionaire owners of Manchester City are to rock ailing Liverpool by launching an audacious £50m bid for star striker Fernando Torres. Full story: Mail on Sunday

I'd sell him, it'd take more than £50m though, more like £90m which could totally revamp the team + they wouldn't have Rafa spending it as he said he'd resign if Torres left and tbh it's the only way I can see Liverpool getting rid of him.

Hmm home to Arsenal in the 3rd round....

Nice little game here;

Can you name the top 200 Premier League goalscorers?

You get a 20min timer.

I managed to get 80. It's amazing how many you forget.

Well, fancy that. It turns out Sir Alex Ferguson does know a bit about football after all.

It was Ferguson who initially reckoned Carlos Tevez was not a goal-scorer worth upwards of £30million; Ferguson whose selections indicated he thought a club with ambition to win the title needed a striker of greater potency; Ferguson who frequently preferred Tevez as a substitute; Ferguson who suffered plenty of lip from Manchester United supporters mistaking Tevez’s perspiration for inspiration.

Not a bad judge, though, was he? Not now potentially the most expensive signing in British transfer history — with a fee ranging from £32m to £47m, depending whose figures you believe — has reached the month of December having scored for Manchester City against a single Premier League team.

I know they have endless amounts of money, but if £47m is true he has to be one of the most overpriced players in the history of the game.
