Through gritted teeth well done to Liverpool, however Sparta Prague can be proud of their overall play during the 2 legs and the fact that they only conceded one goal.

Yeah but they only have a small squad so a few injuries and it could harm their chances...

Former Everton and Inter Milan midfielder Andy van der Meyde has retired from football, aged 31.
Van der Meyde, capped 18 times by Netherlands, joined Everton from Inter in 2005 but endured a torrid time with injuries and made only 24 appearances.
He joined PSV Eindhoven on a short-term deal after leaving Everton as a free agent at the end of the 2008/09 season.
"I quit," said the Ajax graduate when announcing the end of his career. "I do not need to give an interview."
The winger's most memorable moment for Everton probably came when he set up Dan Gosling for the winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup in 2009.
He started his career at Ajax, winning two league titles with the club, before moving to Inter Milan.
Van der Meyde played for Netherlands between 2002 and 2004, helping them reach the semi-finals of Euro 2004.

well peter enckleman for aston villa has to go down as the worse player in football history imo,as he couldnt even stop a throwing off his own player going past him.

[Locke.]

Enckleman was quite good, especially when he was at Villa

[King Gizzard]

Former Wolves and Tottenham defender Dean Richards dies

Former Tottenham and Wolves defender Dean Richards, whose Ł8.1m transfer to Spurs set a record for the highest amount paid for a player with no senior international caps, has died after a long-term illness.

Richards, who also played for Bradford and Southampton, was forced to retire from the game in March 2005 after suffering from dizzy spells and headaches while at White Hart Lane.

The 36 year-old had been working as a coach at Bradford City since 2007, the club where he had begun his career.

In 1995 Richards was signed by Wolves and four years later moved to then-Premiership side Southampton. Richards impressed on the south coast and followed manager Glenn Hoddle to White Hart Lane in 2001.

Richards was dogged by injury at Tottenham, however, making just 73 appearances in his four years in north London.

A statement on the Wolves website read: "Everyone at Wolves was saddened to hear of the death of Dean Richards, who passed away this morning after a battle with serious illness."

There will be a tribute paid to the defender ahead of Wolves game against Spurs on Sunday 6 March.

^ Very sad RIP Dean Richards.

Come on United!!!

I can't wait for Carroll and N'Gog to line up alongside each other for Liverpool - comedy gold.

[Locke.]

Ngog won't be lining up, it will be Carroll in the center with Suarez and Kuyt coming in from the sides.
