Kuyt maybe?
OG, Jagielka? Coleman?
I remember Phil Neville scoring a cracking og in the derby (bullet header iirc), don’t remember the final score but I’ll hazard it anyway

Crouch perhaps?
Gini scored a fluke against Sheffield United in the title winning season and Hendo scored in an atrocious game away to Swansea which was my last game at the Liberty and I moved away two weeks later, I also believe the home match that season or the season after was 1-0 with Milner scoring.
Also two more and I’ll let others go, Can’s absolute worldie against Watford was 1-0 and didn’t Markovic score in a 1-0 against Hull another dismal game, dunno why I remember the awful games more 
Gini scored in a 1-0 against Cheaty on New Year’s Eve one season.

Toronto will be one of the cities hosting 2026 World Cup. Hope that the world is still in good place, and I live long enough to be able to attend the venue. Would love to get to watch at least a match.
BMO Field will have a lot of work done, as its capacity is only ~30,000. The minimum for FIFA standard is 40,000+.

World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada.
16 stadiums.
2 in Canada
3 in México
11 in the US
Sounds a bit unfair tbh.
That World Cup will be good.
Those NFL stadiums in the states are amazing.
Well it can’t be much worse than what precedes it.
It’s in large part based on having candidate cities who were willing to put themselves forward. The US had a big list of cities who were interested. Canada had a few of its major cities take themselves out of the running. I think it was Quebec and Montreal. That left only Edmonton who was left in the running to get overlooked.
Orlando was one of the US cities that lost out at the final stage and it just highlights what the standards are these days. Orlando is a city with world class travel infrastructure and was included as one of the 9 sites for the 94 world cup. The problem is we put forward the same stadium, and as it is probably 1 billion $ of renovation away from being up to par with the stadiums that have been selected. I think it’s important to point out that of 5 the cities who have retained status as a host city from 94 (LA, SF, NY, Dallas, Boston) all of them put forward a different stadium this time, a newer one that homes their city’s NFL team. In fact, all 11 US host cities are using a newly built stadium that houses an NFL team, meaning there is no need to build anything new. In the US, the committee overlooked cities who made the promise to build over projects that had already been completed, and potential host cities in canada and mexico said they wanted no part of that wasteful public spending.

I like it to be fair.
Sounds like a decent World Cup.

Yeah, looking forward to 2026. Was hoping to visit America that year, but with this happening at the time I was planning on going I’m worried accomodation might be at a premium.

Have you seen One Night in Miami? It’s about the night Ali, then Clay, beat Liston to win his first world title. The move is about him chatting the night away in his hotel room with Malcom X, Jim Brown, and Sam fucking Cooke. It’s hard to get your head around 4 such enormous figures just sitting in a hotel room chatting about their lives and the importance of the things they are going through and pursuing.

Asmir Begovic says he was close to signing for us when Rodgers was replacing Reina with Mignolet. He had a few years left on his Stoke deal, which made Stoke want a little bit more money. Mignolet was in his last year at Sunderland so we opted for him.
