UEFA are just looking for a convienient scapegoat and they've decided that Liverpool is it. I'm a Utd fan of nearly twenty years now and I don't often stick up for 'pool, but UEFA really are talking a load of old ********!!!!

Haven't they heard of Milan fans doing stuff like hurling a motorbike down from the higher tiers at a derby game???? Games being played behind closed doors because the fans couldn't be trusted? Not to mention European fans slinging flares at the players! And what about that business in Turkey a while back, where one or more Leeds fans were stabbed? The fact is, UEFA just can't forgive us for our 'fans' behaviour back in the 70's and 80's, even though we have improved massively.

Get over it, UEFA!

Liverpool's away kit for 2007/08: Click Here
Looks more like training kit in my opinion. What are your thoughts?

Fulham's new home like looks like this.

Tottenham's new kits look like this.

Also, this could be Arsenal's away kit for the upcoming season.

Here is another link which gives the launch dates most Umbro, Adidas and Nike kit launch dates.

well i just think Gerrard and Lampard in the centre just don't work together...maybe if lampard played alone with a holding mid-fielder than maybe but right now he's knackered and can't score a goal even from 1 yard...ok maybe a bit more than that...you know what i mean...

yeah not now anyways...gerrard was brilliant even as a holding midfielder and that isn't even his proper position...but Eng should win with any line up they play tomorrow...hopefully...

I just wanna say and I wonder if anybody agrees with me because it is just ******* me off with England.

WTF is with Lampard being an international player?!
Here is why he shouldn't:

Can't control the ball
Can't pass (can only shuffle the ball 10 yards)
Always loses possesion
Can't tackle
Is a greedy tw@ who wastes good attacks by just shooting
Cant consistently shoot properly (blasts over more often than not)
Can't cross
Can't run at defenders
Is slow

He is a greedy, overpaid, useless bad of **** who has the luxury of only having to shoot in the Chelsea side because he has quality players around him, playing for England where he doesn't have the same quality around him his faults are magnified and show how much of a rubbish player he really is.
For Chelsea all he does is shoot and shuffle the ball 10 yards, anything more and he just loses possesion. Nowhere near international class.
He has a few good games or scores a few goals and everyone thinks he is good.
Anyone can score goals for Chelsea and anyones has some good games.
The Chelsea (plastic) "fans" will try and call him a good player but he obviously isn't and should be at a mid table club at best.

I agree 100%. Lampard should not be playing for England.

All England players are over-rated. There is no one who is world class. The press (Soccernet and BBC) just talk them up.

Complete and utter tripe.

I dont think so. From where I look at it a lot of the England players are known more for what they do in the Premiership. Stars in the domestic league but disappointing in international matches.

You talk about John Terry and Frank Lampard. You see their record in club competitions and clearly you have two of the finest players in the world. But in the world scene, I dont think they've done anything exceptional.

I dont think any current England player would make a World eleven side and the reason for that no one offers anything special. Beckham to some extent with his freekick and crosses ability but apart from him no one.

And yet they are hyped up as a great side after two wins and when reality hits people start blaming each other.

If you are a good player you will perform everywhere not just in your domestic league.
