Let it just be clearly said. I'll be rooting for the Germans on Saturday.

I hear Villas Baos is favourite for the Liverpool job. I couldn't have written a better script myself.

Or Harry Redknapp! He's a proven over-achiever. :p

Hmmmm. Not convinced on that one.

Is it because if you change one letter in his name you get Manciti?

Edit; I'm embarrassed to admit that it's actualy Roberto Martinez who is attracting Pool's interest.

If I were a scouser he'd definately be my number one choice for new manager. Such an upgrade over 'King' Kenny.

I think he was embarrassed as he got the name wrong so don't take the hump.

It doesn't matter as they have so many over paid turds. Any manager will have to polish them well or they'll face ten more years in mid table hell.

Embarrassed because in a senior moment I typed Mancini when I meant Martinez. There both bloody foreigners though, so I can be forgiven.

I think there's another match later this afternoon. Does anyone know who's playing?

Hopefully there'll be a few goals. Munich winning by 6 or 7 goals would have me laughing all the way to bedtime.

I'm going for 3-2 to Munich (with a beer drunk for every goal scored during the match).

I'll take 3-2 on penalties, too :thumbup:
