Don't say "uniform" when you mean "kit"

 

[Ripper]

Dont say Kit when you can say Uniform

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Ah, but uniform is not an acceptable description of kit in England, and England invented the world, so...

Carlos Quieroz is on the verge of rejoining Man Utd as assistant coach. ******** just when things were going swimmingly with Walter Smith they go and get themselves a competent coach.

Sweet Thiarna, what the hell is wrong with Jaques Santini, he's leaving France after Euro 2004 and joining Spurs, must have dropped on his head as a child or very recently.

Good job for him.

He'll have a massive challenge on his hands.

Chelsea see sense and get rid of the biggest waste of money in world football

Jose has started his business then...

Doesn't take a genius to see that Veron is an overrated muppet.

Interesting reading.

Potential big loss for Liverpool with the news that Dietmar Hamann may go to Bayern Munich next season, says he'd be interested if they came in with an offer.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Depends on what our new manager has in mind.

If we're sticking with counter attack football, then losing him would be a blow, but from what I read, Benitez intends to bring Aimar with him to Anfield.

 

[An Tarbh]

Has Aimar even been playing regularly for Valencia?

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Not really, and he was dropped for the UEFA Cup final...

£45 million for Rooney

Could be in the Euro 2004 thread but it's domestic related.

Lot of money that - only Roman can afford that, I think.

Heard in ITV before the match that apparently Chelsea have done a deal with Liverpool for Gerrard for £31 million. Not sure what I'd read into that, probably just the rumour mill on overdrive. Think Gerrard will have serious discussions with Benitez before he leaves.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

He'll be having a lot of talk with Rafa before any decision is made but I have a horrible feeling he's off.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Well folks, Steven Gerrard announced on monday that he will be staying at Liverpool.

Today, we have announced Djibril Cisse as our £14 million record signing.

 

[An Tarbh]

I thought that Cissé was only signing if Houllier stayed.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Nope, he wanted to play for Liverpool no matter what.

 

[An Tarbh]

Oh well, his loss.
