Liverpool: Who died and made Martina a football spokesperson?

Check THIS story out: Martina won't back Liverpool

Last I heard, Martina Navratilova was a freaking TENNIS player. So what in freaking hell is she doing saying things like:

"I think the rules are pretty obvious. You have four teams from England that can go through and Liverpool didn't make it."

"They should concentrate on the Premier League instead. Just because they won it, it doesn't mean they should bend the rules."

"I think a champion should be given the chance to defend their title, but at the moment, the rules are the rules."

"Liverpool did it to themselves. They shot themselves in the foot."

And this was on SOCCERNET, for gods sake. What, no other 'celebrity' wanted to comment on the damn issue is it?

Just bloody wait for the damn UEFA decision lar. Play or don't play next year, we're THE CHAMPIONS. Nothing can take THAT away from Liverpool.

And judging from THIS story - Everton miss out on European seeding - there'll be hell to pay if Everton draw Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Ajax, Monaco, Rangers or Celtic in the qualifying rounds, and don't even get into the damn group stages.

I say the English FA should do what Guardian readers say:

Give Arsenal's place to Liverpool. They do bugger all with THEIR place anyway.
