Wigan striker Emile Heskey has agreed a pre-contract deal to join former club Liverpool as a free agent in the summer. (Daily Mail)

 

It's probably good to hear him come back. Now only if...

[scouserlad13 0]

really, i think he was alright a long time ago when he played for us, but no eh, we will see wont we. Oh new question, who thinks the whole Benitez VS Ferguson thing is funny? I can see it now...... And in the Red Corner we have Rafael Benitez and in the Other Red corner We have Alex Ferguson! Lets get ready to argue!

[kct 5]

It happens very often. At one time it is Wenger...then next comes Mour...

 

I guess it is kind of natural for Man United to get these kind of brickbats, AND use the brickbats when they're under pressure.

HAHA i know! I couldnt really imagine Kaka at City, it wouldnt seem right haha They where going to offer £91m which is a world breaking offer, but they changed there minds. I dont think Kaka would of liked it in the Premier League anyway

[+Hinchinbrooke 36]

Watched Burnley almost beat Spurs yesterday. Tottenham really are dire these days. ManU will take them apart at Wembley.

I wouldnt be to sure about that. Although im a devil through and through, Tottenham have the uncanny ability to pull off an amazing performance when you would least expect it from them. Burnley didnt deserve to lose that game though, unlucky guys!

[scouserlad13 0]

I cant belive Fowler might be going to Australia, QUEENSLAND! I Live here! haha Another scouser to tear up Australia with! Come On LAD!

[shotdown 8]

VISCA EL BARZA!!!

BARÇA, not BARZA.

 

Well, when its Iberpool vs. Barcelona, i support the first one

 

Anyway, I agree with macelena (yes, Iam Barçafobic)

[+Hinchinbrooke 36]

Looks like Liverpool won't be winning the Premiership. Watched them draw against Wigan tonight, and frankly Wigan deserved the draw. Yossi Benayoun was just about the only inspiring thing about L'pool's performance. Not sure why Keene is even part of the club. Might as well shift back to Spurs.

 

Man U all the way.

[+Hinchinbrooke 36]

....... then again, watched L'pool take out Chelsea today, so perhaps they'll give Old Trafford's crew a run for the money.

[kct 5]

...Rafa needs to get over his insanity and mind games with Fergie, it is never going to work. Wenger learned it the hard way.
