Does selling the naming rights to the new stadium (if it ever happens) bother anybody? I personally encourage it. If we want to keep up with the big clubs we need to do things like this. Plus being a new stadium, it's not going to have the same cultural power and effect that renaming Anfield would have had. The quotes at the end of the article are ridiculous as well, moving from Anfield is completely different to leaving a stadium like the San Siro or Camp Nou, those stadiums seat a lot more and are a lot more feasible long term. Simple fact is to keep up with the other big European clubs we need a stadium that seats more than our current one.

I loathe stadiums being given corporate names, but as it's a new stadium it wouldn't be as bad as renaming a stadium with an established name.
As long as it isn't something really naff. The W.A Football Commission tried renaming Subiaco Oval a few years ago and apparently the leading candidate was Crazy John's mobile phones. Not suprisingly, there was a backlash.
Having 'This is Anfield' on the player's tunnel replaced by 'This is Crazy John's Stadium' or 'This is Burger King, home of the Whopper Stadium' would cheapen our history just a tad.

Well the new stadium won't be called Anfield anyway so we're going to automatically lose that effect when we eventually move.
'This Is Not Anfield'?

Knee injury for Torres according to the Setanta commentary. Precautionary more than anything, I think.
Mind you, what we're saving him for this season, I don't know. We're 13 minutes away from a new embarrassing low. And we entirely deserve to be trailing.

It wouldn't bother me if COMS had a sponsors name (depending on the sponser, I prefer a joint deal between French Connection UK and Manchester University - FCUK MAN U).
Would have hated Maine Rd to be anything other than Maine Rd though.

The booing is insane. You never hear that at Anfield.
I'm actually happy they're giving it to Rafa & the team. Piss poor effort.

Should've hailed stuff down on the pitch as well.
None of those ***** that were on at the end are fit to wear the shirt.

Rightly deserved unfortunately, this season seems to have been one long slumber from which we haven't emerged
Outplayed in both games - disgraceful.
Had to go to work after normal time - softish penalty, in that we would not have been awarded that.
Kuyt and Lucas were plain awful. Insua was exposed defensively on numerous occassions.
Pretty much reflects our season thus far.

Reading were top class though, great 2nd goal
Surely Carraghers career is over. Probably the worst starting CB in the EPL atm and by some distance. He was great but im not sure he and Agger are that compatible as a pairing.

No they weren't.
Sure, they ran about a bit - but you expect that from a lower league club coming to Anfield.
But they lacked quality, and any half decent side would have beaten them comfortably.
Unfortunately, we suck fat balls.
