This week we're not on the bench. We're on the couch! First time recording in the same room but as usually full of footy gossip and with special dosage of ranting - here comes glorious OTB 10. This week we're in West Kirby preparing for the LUG Radio Live Extravaganza. By the time you hear this we're already sporting a massive hangover and our throats are totalled from overdosing on karaoke. But remain calm in conviction that we had fun. Back to football: any interesting news? Not really, it's all 'crap, crap, CRAP!!!', as Fabian says. We manage to talk about Liverpool FC cat bowls, a new economic measurement we like to call a "Barry" and Jose Mourinho touching himself. Where else can you get this kind of selection?

The rant:
Spanish national team appoint Del Bosque as new manager, our cutting insight Dan - "He looks a bit like Scolari with a bigger mustache" Ana - "..or a bit like Stephen Fry in Blackadder" :)

Liverpool fans form a new club called AFC Liverpool, get the backing of Rafa... well kind of hehe - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.F.C._Liverpool

Ronaldinho signs for AC Milan

Derek Williams an impersonator convinces the Mexican football association that he's their new manager Sven Goran Ericsson

Alexander Hleb moves to Barcelona for £11million

Xavi Alonso stays at Liverpool, so he's not off to Italy after all

We discuss Hull FCs win over the mighty Winterton Rangers, quite an achievement you'd have to agree

Robbie Fowler might making a Premier League come back with Blackburn Rovers

We also talk about how Liverpool FC was formed because people wanted to drink and the history of the 2 clubs in Liverpool and how they came to be - The Liverpool Story

Finally plead for emails and remind you all to sign up for the fantasy league before the kick off on August 16th.

Since Ana buggers off for two weeks holidays in Spain, Dan is in the editor's seat for this episode. She will pull the plug on internet connection but might edit some HD footage so that you can see us on the couch in our full glory... See you on the other side.
