was there any need of that?
Liverpool, pride of England, play Cardiff, shame of Wales.

i dont know where you come from but to say my city is the shame of wales is absoloutly nonsence, grow the up, how would you guys feel if i said things like liverpool was the murder capital of england or car theivery or prostitution, none of you would like that, so in future dont knock my city ok,

fúcking tósser

Meow, what are you the mayor? Its good to have pride in your town but not at the expense of a sense of humour

its not a town, its a city, and i do have a sence of humour,

and i apologise to manhatton, i mis understood what you put and i took it all wrong, so i apologise, and besides your a pretty funny guy,.

Manhattan accepts this apology.

Manhattan loves everyone.

Sometimes a little too much though.

As the many restraining orders against me can attest to.

I don't agree with those who say this competition means nothing. Getting to the final and winning would be a MASSIVE shot in the arm particularly as the final takes place so early (is it March/April?) in the season. I expect we will see a mixed bag in terms of selection. I would also like to see Hobbs get a run out but i would play him with Carra, the experience would do him good but he could do with someone to shephard him through the game and there's no-one better to do it than Jamie. Incidently, while Agger gets a lot of praise on these boards (more so when he's not in the team mind, amazing how much better players get when they are injured or not picked isn;t it?) he does have Carra to pretty much boss, bully and shephard him through every game. I don't expect to see many of the other youngsters play in this one although i do like the look of Spearing, he's a strong, determined little bugger who can run with the ball and gets a goal or two. Am looking forward to seeing Kewell finally back on the pitch and hope to see Crouch get a full 90mins under his belt.

Nice one, mate. Your lad will be able to tell everyone that he got to see God play at Anfield, perhaps for the last time! :nod

First I want to congratulate Manhattan for yet another cracking post and a good topic starter.

Second, I'll translate John Toshack's article in today's San Sebastian local newspaper:

I plan to be in Anfield Road today, which was my home for 8 years. Good old times that!!! The best of my life!!! Often a footballer thinks that when his career ends, the life ends, but the truth is that life starts in that precise moment.

It's true aswell the years I've been a manager, 30 years already, are interesting aswell, and I cannot complain, but there's nothing like to be playing in the pitch to be honest.

Well, today we have a cup game between Rafa Benitez's team and Cardiff city. Cardiff, as you already know, is the capital of Wales, my land, and I started to play in that team when I was 16. 4 seasons later I signed up for the Reds. I remember what Shankly told me once I signed, "Congratulations John, you've made it from the nursery school to the university". I signed up when I was 20 and at the time I thought I was an important footballer, 110K pounds was the transfer fee, a record in that yeats.

So I started very motivated and excited. What a bath of reality was awaiting me!! (it's like saying how little I knew). At the beginning I was as lost as a fish out of the water.

In that times we always ended up the training sessions with a 6 against 6 mini matches. The winners had to choose what was the worst player of the other team, and the worst player had to wear a yellow top the rest of the day. He had to wear the yellow top in the bus trip from the training ground, to Anfield Road, the place in which we ate, had a shower, and we said goodbye to the day.

Well, in my first months I was fed up of wearing the yellow top, and I felt a lof of shame. My pride told me it couldn't be that way. Every spare minute I had, I spent it in the famous "sweating box", it was some sort of boards in the middle of the training ground, in which I was improving my touch.

After 6 months trying I hadn't to wear the yellow top again.

When the anthem sounds, I'll have my hair electrified, again, it's so a emotive game for me, as I started in Cardiff as a children, and I ended up in Liverpool as a man.

-----

Toshack always tells us stories like this. Of course the yellow top story is meant to criticise a quality yet a bit soft player of my local team, but he always tells us stories about Liverpool. The 6 against 6 matches and the yellow top story catched my attention, so I translated it to you.
