I read that story last night on ESPN's site and nearly woke my wife up I was laughing so hard! Can you possibly imagine the shear BALLS it took to perform that right in front of the scousers? I hope to GOD that someone at the club did help them do it.

don't forget to watch the game today, that's Real Madrid vs Man Utd, CL 1/4 final, 1st leg. what are the Pool doing today - prepping for their holidays? or are they resting up 'cos they are still tired from the Intl duty?
