I got battered last season, so I'm not starting this back up this year - in case someone else wants to take the reins.

No way.

All pumped for the weekend though.

I would join that for sure.  

I am not a big follower of soccer/football, but doesn't Diego Maradona coaching a team seem like a bad idea?  Cocaine rehab and gastric bypass surgery in the same few years?

Very bad idea, yes. If they're successful this year - and they have the talent for it - it will be despite Maradona, not because of him.

I can't remember if anyone else here is a Liverpool supporter but these last 2 seasons have been rough stuff 

[Gilly]

I don't pay attention to them like I used to, but it would be something else if they were relegated.

This was a rather remarkable video put together by Liverpool fans before Hicks and Gilette were kicked out.  Ian McCullough is in no way overstating the case by comparing H&G to rapists.
