How long has Stephen Fry been director of football at Norwich?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Reports are the stabbing was barely a pin prick and probably wasn't even a knife.

So hard.

 

[JingleBells]

How long has Stephen Fry been director of football at Norwich?

Since never.

He's a director on the board of Norwich City Football Club, not Director of Football

 

[megadave]

Stephen Fry knows a lot, but very little about football.

@ianprior ian prior Cracking interview by @sidlowe with Pepe Reina in tomorrow's Guardian, thoughtful and revelatory. But one which might worry #lfc fans

Time to get worried, AGAIN gah

Then again there are some really good youths out there, question is if any of them would be tempted by todays Liverpool

I'm happy but I won't swear eternal love to anyone, says Pepe Reina | Football | The Guardian

 

[Corran]

A very well thought out interview by Reina... in it he has been sure to defend his co-spanish players who followed ambition. He has been sure to reinforce the idea that he has shown loyalty to the club at a time where they probably couldnt match his own ambitions in order to give the perception that he gave the club every chance to do what is needed, and yet he been sure to give a "come and get me" signal to the 4 big teams at the top, namely Man Utd and Arsenal whom need a keeper and have a real future.

At this time I think Utd may be his best prospect for instant success, but he could turn Arsenal into a formidable team if they can get a couple more big players in, as yet they showing that without RVP and Cesc they dont have the depth. Man utd need to improve the midfield and that is it really, because the strike force has a great future and there some real strong long term prospects for the defence. Get some midfield flair and we should be pretty good.

ANyone watching Arsenal atm btw? From what I heard they are looking poor, and if the big names aint back for Tuesday they could well get smashed.

 

[Embattle]

See Arsenal decided not to make the best of what we gave them

 

[ileks]

Bendtner + Chamakh look so average.

To be fair Arsenal should have had a stone wall penalty and had an onside goal disallowed.

 

[megadave]

So predictable Arsenal

 

[Corran]

Guess that disallowed goal was to balance the cup final offside after 2minutes where they should have lost their goalkeeper and conceeded the penalty.
Funny how things balance out (ie Rooney not sent off, Luiz not sent off following game).

Glad that we still got a wee bit of breathing space.

 

[Cerb]

We'll take that

 

[megadave]

Will Arsenal have any of their good players back for Barcelona?

[Everz]

Wow. Today really has put the pressure on us to win tommorow . I hate that i'm feeling confident we are going to win hah, don't want to be let down. Come on me babbies, show the same heart we did against United and 3 points will be ours!

 

[Achilles]

Just watching MoTD, Arteta is a stunning player when he is on form. Shame that Spain have a plethora of outrageously talented midfielders. Also how lucky were sodding Shity today?

No, the balance was when we lost the cup final so that challenge didn't matter.

 

[caLLous]

Very lucky. TOO lucky.

Wigan were superb in the second half, they deserved a draw at the very least. I really, really hope they don't go down but I can't see them surviving at this rate.

 

[Corran]

erm, no. I am talking about decisions balancing out. You didnt lose the game because of a referee decision, you lost because 2 players cocked up. That wasnt the officials decision in favour of Arsenal balancing out, though could say it was Karma for the keeper that he got away with one cockup and punished for another with a goal that wouldnt happen had he not been on the field.

 

[Everz]

Very lucky. TOO lucky.

Wigan going down would be a blessing

From Sam, Milton Keynes, on text: "A victory for Liverpool will not just bring three points, but genuine belief that Kenny (God save the King) can lead the Reds back to the top of English football once again. Massive!"

Hearty LOL, but it would be nice for the false dawn to shine again this afternoon
