Gerrard comes in on Thompson, who takes offense to it. Was Blackburn incorporated into Merseyside? This feels like a Derby. Houllier and Souness yelling at each other. 18 mins. 1-1 Diouf turns Gresko, Kewell, Owen, Heskey, Diouf. Amoruso clears.
You are NOT getting any younger. B,burn are slipping it only took them 21 seconds to score against Chelsea
How is Biscan doing? From what I read about the Everton game it looks like he’s coming back to life. Is Babel playing CD? Playing two right-footed players on the left really doesn’t help the offense. Carragher can do very little with his left and usually needs five touches to set it up on the right and to pass it.
A Scott and a Frog yelling at each other, I’d pay for a tape of that…! And now for something completely different. What DID Souness say to his team before the game?
They're probably each saying something about "ruining my team..." Gerrard, Diouf, Kewell, Finnan, Amoruso clears. Biscan fouled by Cole. Diouf, Gerrard, Finnan, Kewell, Gresko. Ferguson, Thommo, Emerton. Gerrard, Finnan - getting forward well - Gerrard, Diouf fouled by Thommo.
