THE PITCH
Karl Marks: Revolutionising the way we analyse players’ performances, Neighbours’ Karl Kennedy is enlisted to rate individuals on an ascending scale of Harold Bishops's if they're good or Paul Robinson's if they're bad.
You may laugh, but it almost happened! Yes, setanta.com can now reveal that it was in dialogue with the Aussie idol!
Working only on the premise that Karl had a name we could work with, contact was established and initial signs were promising - there was a willingness from both parties that a deal should be reached.
For a while it appeared that a new feature, a feature to end all features, was born.
Alas, some things just aren't meant to be...Like Karl's liaison with Izzy, it was doomed from the start. It was a Foxtel cable box that came between us, as opposed to the latter which was scuppered by Karl's wife.
GAME FOR A LAUGH
The close season is a difficult time for any football website. With games drying up and managers and players jetting off on holiday, suddenly Under-19 games and the Confederations Cup take on paramount importance.
But in their desperate bid to maintain hits over a long and barren summer, we feel that Liverpool’s official website have taken it one feature too far. The 100 Players Who Shook The Kop from a year ago was a worthy contribution, but Rafa’s 100 Greatest PL Games??
By the way today’s entry, at number 90, is that unforgettable day in February 2006 when Harry Kewell’s goal defeated Manchester City. We think you’ll agree it was right up there with Istanbul.
CAPTION COMPETITION
It's Everton star Tim Cahill. It's a big plane. There has got to be a joke in there somewhere, hasn't there? Send us your best efforts using the comments form at the bottom of the page.
