Watching Shaqiri in Switzerland's first game kept on thinking is he just a Swiss version of Charlie Adams. Left footed and prone to excess eating. Although he could handle the physical side of the English game does he have enough pace to add to the team.

Howard Webb is reffing Palace against Man city on sunday so guess we will get Dowd

Apparently Howard Webb reffing Palace Villa on Saturday must guarantee Jose gets his man when we play Chelsea.

Some years ago Peter Johnson the ex Everton Chairman was known as the secret agent as he attempted to take the Blues down and but for Hans Segers he would have succeeded maybe Gollum is a plant to take the scum back to where they belong.

Remember the weekend of the match. Came up on Friday for the racing and then the only time sat in the main stand and as said earlier Jennings was outstanding. The other thing about the weekend to remember the city was alive to the chances of Red Rums first National victory, I backed his stable mate. At least Liverpool got one winner that weekend.

The something old and something new clearly works at the Millennium Stadium which may not be particularly beautiful but has the advantage of close proximity to the pitch and helps to generate a good atmosphere. It is not dedicated to corporate customers but regular supporters. As a Kop season ticket holder from the seventies there was just as much noise coming from other areas of the ground so any concerns of the Kop not being the largest stand should not be a concern as a larger ARE would probably be populated by newer and probably younger supporters who are likely to increase noise and atmosphere..
