In light of Steven Gerard's surprise arrest there was a little piece on the radio about the hex of the official club calendars. As a bit of fun some researcher discovered that the player or club official on the picture on the opening January page is at most risk at the club.

With the very real possibility of an all British high profile semi final on the cards and not the telly for 99% of the nation lets have a quick prediction for the second legs.
