Yes.

It is time for the Milk Cup again.

Previously known as the Milk Cup, Littlewoods Trophy, Rumblelows Jug, Worthington Bucket, Coca Cola Can, Carling Pintglass, and now Milk Cup again, because milk is healthy, although to be honest, it makes me feel kinda sick.

Liverpool, pride of England, play Cardiff, shame of Wales.

Apparently this event is significant because God shall return to Earth. Quite frankly I would have expected more news coverage given the importance of this divine event.

Someone called Sugar Floyd Hasselbaink or something will also reportedly make an appearance. I am unfamilar with who he is, but apparently he was the WBO Middleweight Champion, according to my research.

FUN FACTS

- Cardiff was the capital of the United Kingdom while Wembley was being built.

- Cardiff's chairman is Peter Ridsdale, who wrote a best-selling autobiography called "I Can't Visit My Granny In Leeds Because They'll Kill Me"

- The symbol of Wales is the Red Dragon, based on the famous serial killer from the novel also featuring Hannibal Lecter.

- The Killer Whale is actually a member of the dolphin family.

- I like dolphins.

- Many consider this competition to be insignificant, which is particularly harsh upon Everton, who have won this competition 13 times, unfortunately no one noticed.

- When Littlewoods sponsored this competition, a ball was never used in any match. Instead a giant letter "X" was kicked high into the air.

Hobbs has to play in this game, maybe he could be partnered at the back by Agger if he is fit (heres hoping) :idea

Manhattan pleae start writing comedy and doing stand-up you would be brilliant or start writing scripts! Superb stuff!

Anyone know how many ex-leeds players now play for Cardiff? Besides peter ridicule the players I immediately thought of are Hasselbaink, God and McFail. Their chairmain, with appropriate initials 'PR' may be destroying another club if rumours a debt is to be immediately paid back are true.

With injuries to Alonso and Mascherano, the manager may opt for Sissoko and Lucas. With it being Cardiff at home i would give somone untried a go and leave Lucas out and play him against Blackburn if Masher is not fit.
Might seem strange but been watching a bit of the ressies and have been really impressed with the young lad Jay Spearing. He is great in posession can pass with either foot and although he is only small he is strong and determined. He looks a top player in the making. Rafa probably wouldnt throw him in yet but i think he (Spearing) might surprise a few if he got a chance.

I really hope anybody who is under any threat of reaggravating an injury needs to sit. Itandje should play, same with Hobbs, Kewell, Lucas, Momo, Crouch, maybe Leto, El Zhar? Darby? Insua? Lindfield? Puterril? Plessis? Spearing?

This is going to be quite a challenge for fantasy Rafa

I take your point we dont want to be risking any players that have any slight concerns, but i would much prefer quite an experienced side and one or two youngsters playing in there as well.
I'd go along with Insua he has also looked very promising but think with Fabio and Arbeloa both recently coming back from injuries he might want to give them some playing time.
El Zahr looks decent and like he could cause problems although he still looks maybe a little lightweight.
