The new manager is scum, that's just my personal opinion though.

Complete managerial record for you. Also shows how much I know when I thought Gary Megson took over at Wigan.

I know it sounds a stupid question but do you actually like football (soccer)

[Shaolin]

Wigan don't deserve to be in the Premier League. Brucey made the wrong choice there.

[Mousehole]

Leaving the noses is never a bad choice

[Shaolin]

I agree, but he should have held out for a better job than Wigan.

I've always been able to watch the World Cup, but then after that watching MLS made me want to put forks in my eyes. But with you making me pick a team and then being able to watch some of the games fixtures on the weekend, it gives me a reason to get invested into what I'm watching and makes it worth viewing.

[Shaolin]

Support Spurs, Wigan are dull and shit. Spurs are also shit this season, but are a fun team to watch.

[Shaolin]

Or Villa, who love a goal fest nowadays.

What sort of coverage do you get over there? Over here Sky and Setanta have to show teams a certain number of time so there is a chance that you'll get to see a lesser team win.

Manboobs, Bruceys a nice guy dont worry about what Hole said. He basically used to manager the hated rivals of Holes old team

Steven Gerrard has become the sixth player to be burgled while playing football for Liverpool.

The 27-year-old's wife Alex Curran, who was in the property at the time of the incident, was left shaken following the raid in Formby, Merseyside.

Merseyside Police have described the raid on Tuesday night at about 2130 GMT as a "confrontational burglary".

A spokesman for Liverpool Football Club said their first concerns were for the player, Ms Curran and their children.

The players' homes targeted

The England star was away playing in the Champions League against Marseille at the time of the incident.

It is not known if the player's children were in the property when the burglary took place.

Ian Cotton, spokesman for Liverpool Football Club, said: "We were shocked to hear the news last night after the game in Marseille.

"Our first concerns are for the welfare of Alex, Steven and the family.

"The club takes this extremely seriously and we will be looking at ways to provide cover for the players' houses while they are away with the club on domestic and international duty."

Gerrard is the sixth player to be targeted while playing for the team since June 2006.

Porsche stolen

Three weeks ago, striker Dirk Kuyt's home in Woolton was targeted by thieves while he was away on international duty with Holland.

Defender Daniel Agger had his home in Caldy, Wirral, burgled in September last year and striker Peter Crouch's house in Alderley Edge was targeted in the same month while he was on England duty.

Current goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled while he played for Liverpool in last May's Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.

His Porsche was taken during the raid and later found burnt-out in west Derby.

In June 2006 the Merseyside home of former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, was also targeted by thieves.

Obviously Alex Curran has stopped shagging that gangster then.

I for one am shocked that the fine people of Liverpool would do this.

[Shaolin]

Scousers living up to their stereotypes? Never!

In all honesty you'd have thought Gerrard would have known better.

[n00b]

Does anyone know if the burglars had dark permed hair and a habit of telling each other to "calm down"?

Also, did they piss on any corpses or star in Bread?

Over here, we have Fox Soccer Channel. They show matches from all different leagues from around the world. Normally there will be 2 live matches on Sat. and Sun. and then one or two more shown later in the day on tape delay. If I really wanted to, I'm sure I could go onto Sopcast and find a feed of the match.

[Mousehole]

Wigan are on this week actually. Good choice.

[manbooba]

I was able to see the draw with Man. City 2 weeks ago but not able to see last week's match which was probably a good thing.

[Mousehole]

They must have some kind of round-up show. If not youtube will usually have the goals

[slaptastic78]

The Premier League is kinda Dr Jeykl and Mr Hyde at the moment. Everyone from Newcastle upwards is half decent going up to excellent. Below Newcastle are just teams that are shit and look like they have no hope whatsoever.
