Did anyone answer the Count yet? Can't be ass'd to read every single post... 1)What exactly are 'cor-blimey' trousers? It's a play on the expression "Gor Blimey". "Cor Blimey" trousers are made of corduroy. (Which is French for "Cloth of King", but was actually coined in Manchester when they were coming up with names for a new cloth). 2) And what is Sir Paul McCartney's sibling banging on about when he thanks someone for the Aintree Iron? "Ain Tree" meaning "one tree", as previous poster indicated. The "Iron" refers to the shape of the the course itself, or an Iron Foundry in the area.. nothing 100% confirmed." 3) What are the origins of the colloquial word for an officer of the law: 'bizzie' Probably derives from the phrase "Busy Body" when referring to the police, meaning someone who interferes in someone else's business.

How will we be in danger of relegation after playing 13 games?

Jeez, I've made my first two posts in ages and I'm having to apologise n both of them. Sorry guys, I did forget Jermaine.... think I'll go back to lurking

I was referring to Rashid's post Paul, my apologies.

JP? John Prescott hasn't signed has he? ;) Think you might mean GP

So you've no qualms about dropping Alonso or Sissoko, to fit gerrard in?

I'd like to see Gerrard in the middle, but maybe not for the same reasons as you Rashid. I prefer to see a player 'steal' the ball off an opponent through timing and skill, rather than through a crunching tackle. The old Gerrard was reckless at times and I don't know about you but, some of his tackles made me cringe. The middle is where he's most suited because it's where he can do everything and he's a very 'everything' type of player.

I have a feeling the majority of these predictions are gonna be way off the mark.. including mine! ;) :yes: ....................Reina....................

It's sad but, he's obviously convinced himself that picking splinters out of his arse every weekend and watching the world cup from his armchair is some kind of great career move.

Look at the replay again, it didn't go over Carra by that much.

You're too kind ;)

Carra was the one who missed the header, but I wouldn't criticise him for it. It was just one of those perfectly placed crosses that went inches over Carra's head and between the two defending players. It would have caused us trouble whether Cahill had been there or not.
