Spotted on the BBC website report from the barnburner at Anfield yesterday:
“After half-time, Xavi Alonso hit the post before Pepe Reina raced to the edge of his box to deny Kevin Davies.”
Who is this new mystery midfielder the Red's seemed to have signed – Answers on a postcard to: Gaby Lineker c/o The BBC, Gravy Train Lane, Augusta, Georgia.
Super Stat Attack
Kevin Davies Bolton career statistics run as follows:
Goals 25, Yellow Cards 27. Fat Sam is proved right yet again. His big strikers can always do the business. The question is; How can Jabba the Trotter analyse that on Pro-Zone?
Behind The Smile
Media-view is unable to confirm the claim, but we're (unreliably) informed, during Thursday's discussion on Barcelona's buck-toothed superstar Ronaldinho on Sky Sports News, it was noted that the Brazilian "always plays with a smile on his face."
The lovely Kelly Dalglish then spoke up for the nation by enquiring: "Is that because he can't get his teeth in his mouth?" Nice to see she's got her Dad's wit (luckily for our Kelly and us not his looks!!)
More transfer gossip
From the Daily Telegraph online:
'Owen return still unclear as he admits World Cup fear - The Liverpool striker has admitted he may go to the World Cup having played hardly any competitive football for Newcastle following his recovery from injury.'
Now MV knows the Telegraph is not always first to break stories but MV thinks this could be a tad premature. Oh and has anyone told Freddie Shepherd?
Senior Moment
Says Alan Hansen:
"If you put an amateur footballer into a good Liverpool team, he may not look great but he could possibly get by without disgracing himself."
As he's started wearing M & S slacks and pullovers, Jocky's memory must be going. MV's sure he must have seen Djimi Traore at least once over the last 5 years!!
Slur Alex gets the psychology manual out again
"We need a collapse," said Ferguson. "But they can happen. It happened to us when we lost three games in a week in 1992 and Chelsea have some difficult games left yet.
"They play Bolton next week. Do you think Bolton are going to lose five in a row? I don't.”
After watching yesterdays performance from the Trotters Slur Alex may need to reassess his comments. Oh yeah just for the record and one of those games back in 1992 was at Anfield – Ah what fond memories
£700k – Hmm What do you reckon Sir Bob
Anyone remember when old Sir Bobby Comb-over had a go at ‘vulgar' Mickey O for his £30k gambling losses a few years ago.
MV wonders wonder what the ManYoo BlackSox director will have to say about Shrek's latest foray in to the murky world of vice.
Or in other words what is the term for vulgar x 21
Nostalgic Headline of the day
‘Fowler leads Liverpool back in to the 70's' – The Guardian. About time too!!
More Gibberish next week if I eat all my Easter Eggs and survive my Sunday team's end of season aleathon.
