    No Wembley curse for the Spuds then - Chavs must be champions elect - yawn. On a good note, both teams will be knackered for their next games, the Wembley pitch has certainly taken it's toll physically on both teams

    Spurs impressed me more than the Chavs. One moment of brilliance and a gk error from lloris. This could and should have been a draw.

    Conte being naughty <laugh>

    Rather than have a dig at the Spurs team, he encourages other teams playing away at Spurs. There is nothing Pochetino can do about Wembley, is there?

    How do you feel about a possible Zlatan return?

    What's not to like - 28 goals in all comps last season and he wants only 50% of his wages. Be mad not to.

    Scores goals, inspires, leads by example, legend.

    He'll be very welcome, not that he ever left.

    I have to say that I am very happy for Wayne. A part of me still celebrates whenever he scores. lol. I'm glad that he was brave enough to take on that challenge and now he's found a new reason. It's great to see. Hopefully he continues to play well to make the world cup.

    Such a stupid question. He's one of the best players of his generation. No team in Europe wouldn't be happy to have him back

    And will be back playing around December / January just when the going gets tough and we may need the extra experience and goals.

    Could be as good for us as the Larsson loan in 07.

    Zlatan as a back up would be a ****ing great addition for the second half of the season as long as we don't go back to that pedestrian ****. Hold the call up and lay it off as quickly as you can old man!

    He didn't.

    His contract expired and it'll be renewed soon now he's getting back to fitness.

    He trained with United throughout, unpaid.

    Call me cynical, but with the strength in attack and midfield that Southgate has at his disposal I can't see how Rooney would even have been in contention for a berth in the present England side. I suspect today's announcement has more to do with Southgate doing the right thing and letting Rooney announce his 'retirement' rather than the FA having to explain that there is no place in the side for him. He had a good run, so he can't complain.

    'Nobody wants to come to Anfield - Klopp' - I thought this was a story on the BBC about the RS transfer business, but no, Klopp wants the world to know that the other clubs in the CL will dread going to Anfield - yeah right.

    I figured he was just complaining about there being 2,000 empty seats for their first CL game in three years.

    But yeah, all the CL clubs must all be ****ting themselves. If Hoffenheim can score twice at Anfield then Real, Bayern and Juve will probably only manage six or seven.

    The other 2,000 didn't have time to get their bail conditions varied in time to allow them to break curfew.

    The actual statement of 'nobody wants to come to Anfield' is true, though it's not through fear of their football team. You could broaden that though to nobody wants to come to Liverpool, or merseyside for that matter.

    Kloppyflop has never uttered a truer phrase. FFS which player would want to play for the RS? End of career guaranteed <laugh>
