Agger on the bench, but no Hyypia

No Keane either, which surely confirms his imminent exit no?

[MrsB]

Does this mean we are getting Gareth Barry?

[Natman]

keane in london ?

[watanite]

what about the mighty NGog !!!

[tsb]

keane in london ?

I guess the only definite thing is that he won't be at Anfield at 4pm today.

Seriously though, we should keep him until the summer as we will be desperately short up front for the business end of the season. Think we missed a trick not getting Heskey back in myself - never thought I'd ever say that!

[JohnDoe]

Again Skrtel over Agger. I just don't get it. Keane must be off.

[Dantheman]

As poor as Keane hs been this season he should be on the bench today. Poor decision IMO

[corbylpfc]

if we don't get 3 points today, I hate to say it, but the league is over! Why not give agger a run? And keep keane untill the summer? If I was keane I'd stay till the summer and hope rafa grows up or gets his p.45 !

Just got a text from a mate saying Keane is having a medical in London.

Unless he's leaving I agree.

That's crap as Benny has turned a game before. The rest are questionable though.

Not at Leyton Orient I assume?
