I was quite suprised to read this morning that Bolton had let Johan Elmander go to Gala on a free transfer. Was his contract up, and how come they didn't renew it? I thought he had a really good season last year and looked sharp. I always remember the goal he scored at Wolves - what a fantastic turn and finish that was. Big loss of profit considering he was there record signing.

Contract was up mate and I think Bolton were resigned to losing him very early on.

Thanks for clearing that one up mate.

Watching England Women vs Japan.

England seem considerably taller than their opponents. All the Japan players are 4 foot 5. Just knock the high ball in.

Oh, as I type, long ball and a great lob over the keeper. 1-0 England !!

Which players have turned Liverpool down? I'm pretty sure we made a bid for Phil Jones and lost out to United. Fair enough, but even that I can't prove. There's no evidence to suggest we bid for Young, Clichy, Savic or Wickham unless you have proof to the contrary?

I find it hilarious when people believe everything they read on the internet.

Proof? Are we in court your honour? No flower, I just trust the knowledgable (no offence) Liverpool fans on here who've said so.

Heard Japan described as 'the Barcelona of women's football' during one of the matches this week.

Yes, heard the same on Talksport this afternoon. They dont look that good to me, although Im not sure if they have rested any or arnt bothered as they dont need a result of any magnitude to qualify.

Disgusting. Fitting that they should be featured in the Daily Mail. Does anyone buy goalkeeper tops anyway?

Talking of keepers, you must be made up with Al Habsi signing.

Certainly am. Fully deserved his player of the year last year and hopefully if we can sign some decent centre backs instead of playing the Chuckle brothers (the Caldwells) we'll be pretty solid.
