‘retain the integrity of the league’ ....

[-V-]

I think Rafa will rest half the team. I can see this team starting

..................Reina
Finnan....Skrtle.....Hyypia.....Riise
Pennant..Mascher...Lucas...Benayoun
...........Voronin.....Crouch

Or if we play 4-2-3-1 then possibly Benayoun behind Crouch with Babel getting a game instead of Voronin

Give a ****. We do what's best for us and who cares about anyone else.

Very well said.

We exist to win trophies, in style.

EDIT: Style is optional!

That's probably a good shout.

Reina is a shoe-in.

In times of crisis, it`s good to have a leader who inspires belief. Some football managers can motivate the players and reassure the fans with a few well chosen words. Gary Megson isn`t one of them. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is the latest recipient of the ginger one`s wisdom.

'Liverpool will have a massive say in which teams go down with their next two league games,' Megson told The Sun. 'We hope Rafa Benitez will retain the integrity of the Premier League with his squad selection.

'You would imagine Liverpool's Premier League campaign is still as important as the Champions League. They are battling with Everton for fourth so there is local pride to play for.

'It is nobody else's business but I'm sure Rafa realises the importance of being seen to do the right thing.'

Megson is right on the last count. It`s nobody`s business. Certainly not his, and speaking in The Sun on a Liverpool related matter, the day after the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster shows a stunning lack of tact. He`s also open to a charge of hypocrisy, after playing a team in Lisbon, that included a couple of ball boys, an act which has alienated most Wanderers fans.

What difference will it make? Absolutely none. Benitez will snigger (think of Muttley in Wacky Races, and you`ll get the picture) and then pick whatever side he chooses. As he`s perfectly entitled to.

That is exactly correct.

Bolton should look at themselves for their downfall, not other teams who are perceived to have had an outcome on their final position.

Our 2nd 11 could beat most teams outside the top 6

Cant remember when the reserves final is but i would love to see rafa praise the reserves for winning the northern league by letting ablett take his team out against fulham (except brouwer). it would be a fantastic reward for them for a great season, would give ALL of the first team a rest and would also be ****ing brilliant to see the ginger pricks face. plus they cant lose. if they are beaten then it wouldn't really matter after chelsea beat the bitters tonight and if they win then it is a massive boost for them

None of them are world class superstars yet!

Fair enough, but quite a few of them are showing some promise - Brouwer has only shown why Ajax did not fight tooth and nail to keep him.
