No? Well, Liverpool FC have...

Why would they take the piss out of themselves like that?? Who reckons Stevie will have already entered? Doing it this way has got to be better than never at all, right?

Manchester City fans were pissing themselves when the now infamous poster popped up in town. The club had forked out a small fortune to a London-based design company to come up with the slogan. Mark Hughes described it as "a bit of fun between fans", likening it to the counter we have on the Stretford End which marks how many years the bitters have gone without a trophy.

I know Ronny would act the twat at times but I'm honestly struggling to think of an occasion when I would be more embarrassed to support a team who had a player like this in it. How can Chelsea fans tolerate this totally cringeworthy episode. I mean, seriously, what the fuck is he doing?

For those of you are brave enough to describe the above picture with words, it's caption time!

Bonus points if you can find Lisandro in this picture.

"Rio Ferdinand has been in poor form this season by his standards and I think Sir Alex Ferguson would be shrewd to cash in on the star in January."
Stan Collymore couldn't be a bigger prick if he tried.

"I don't want to play United in the knockout rounds they're a very strong team and I have many friends there.

Just some random odds and ends for you to read as you bide your time waiting for Lyon's Champions League clash with Liverpool.

< Sid's Serious Captain-y Face.

If you're wondering why the captain's armband showed up on Cris last Saturday, despite Sidney Govou also being on the pitch, it's because our dear (former?

Steve Bruce on the beachball which lead to Liverpool's fourth defeat in nine games: "They have got it on telly with the guy who threw it on and it's got Liverpool crests all over it. What a shame."

With World Cup qualifiers about to take place, there isn't too much happening at club level. But there are a few articles and updates that caught my eye.

The biggest news is the medical update on Bafetimbi Gomis. Two days ago at Guingamp, Gomis collapsed during practice with the France squad.

After years of jokes and snidey comments about referees being on the Old Trafford payroll, did former referee Dermot Gallagher really have to make these comments?

"There's better ways to deal with things," said Gallagher. "If in the year 2009 you're an employee, you don't expect your employer to have a go at you in public.

Just got this in my email. Raymond Domenech critics, I think you will approve:

The national coach, after the draw in Serbia did not speak about the game in his interview but he spoke about his life and said : "I just want to thank all the people who are supporting us.

My Entry for next yrs liverpool Kit

Whilst the Diving police have there hands full with Eduardo and Rooney, i thought id remind you lot of one of the premierships main Culprits.

Before all you liverpool fans start throwing a paddy id like to say im a massive Gerrard fan and this is Just for Fun.

Same old Arsenal...

He's already got the abs, the pointy beard, and the move-bitch-get-outta-my-way attitude. He just needs a sword (and a leather loincloth), and then he'll be all set for world domination.

I´m not sure whether it´s out of pity of humour but sometimes City fans really do make me want to cry. First there was Christopher Atkinson who got a Kaka tattoo when before Kaka came to his senses and Garry Cook fucked up the deal. Now there´s Kirk Bradley...

Bradley has a tattoo to mark City winning the Champions League.

A few years after nutmegging Figo, John O'Shea shows Ashley Cole how it's done...

This evening I plan to go out and get pissed with my mates. Get rat arsed. Sing football songs. Have a go at any bluenose who gets cocky.

Then I'll be in the mood for a bit of Stone Roses. Love Will Tear Us Apart Again. The DJ won't fancy it as it doesn't really fit in with the 'scene'. Give a fuck.

MCFC got themselves involved in a mud-slinging battle with football fans when they paid thousands of pounds in an attempt to wind us reds up. For me, it's totally bizarre that a football club would lower themselves to such petty behaviour. Had a City fan got out the sky blue paint and had a go at this, it would probably bring about a wry smile, but fancy a football club sanctioning such a thing!

City fans have always been a pretty delusional bunch but never more so than right now. With player after player leaving their current club� for the doubled/tripled wages City will offer them, the fans have bought in to the players' made up reasons. There's lots of talk of it being 'an exciting, new project'.

Following City's ever so 'witty' poster, which shows a picture of Carlos Tevez running to Manchester United fans with a big grin on his face, it's time we forced them and him to face reality.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers stopped by USMNT practice and showed a couple of MLSers how it's done. Tune in below:

Probably my first of many attempts to express our feelings about signing Michael Owen through the mode of music... who became a Manchester United players after a conversation with Sir Alex Ferguson over breakfast.
