Damn straight. And then add in Paisley's humility. Pure class.

That was easy. Keegan it is, sorted! You hear that new owner consortium? I remember the press when Keegan buggered off, we were done for etc. Got this Scottish chap in, whoever that was Just like Rush leaving. Doomed we were. Wow, wasn't that a team and a half! Anyone remember *that* Forest game, and Beardsley's run? EDIT: KK shouldn't sing for us though. That single was cringetastic.

I'd like the King, he is Mr. Liverpool and would have us playing proper a attacking game, not the dour rubbish Hodgson is serving up, and Rafa left us with. I'd love Keegan too. Granted, we'd never win anything with Kev, but the games would be exciting! I don't see any top manager wanting to touch us to be honest. Our squad is shite, even if our first 11 isn't too bad on their day. Rafa appears to have destroyed the youth system, and padded it with cheap kids from the continent. Maybe some will come good, but they don't get games. I doubt we'll ever know. They'll be gone at some point. At least Woy, as dull as he is, has lifted the players' moral, if not their confidence. I think we'd have lost a number of the better players had he not been shown the door he'd been craving for.

How long is Henry likely to give Hodgson and Lee, before giving them the boot?

Really? I though the had lawyers at the board meeting when the offer was accepted?

What do you make of the Gillett hobbit in all this? He's been very quiet for a while now, and probably the one to keep an eye on. After all, he was the one that did the sneaking around with Parry and Klinsmann. Has he thrown in the towel and just wants to get out, or is he up to something?

Watch what happens with FA ties when a top prem clubs comes to town. "Fans" come out of the woodwork, buy a shirt, go to the game, and never come back. Compare Wycombe's non-league attendances before they moved to Adams park, and started romping the Conference. Likewise with Woking. Wycombe made the league but their gates are generally lower than what the got in non-league (they don't win every game now). Woking got a lot of success from FA runs, were clocking 4000 fans in the league, and now look at them. They're complete poo now, rotting away with massive debts, and around 1100 attendance. They too had pink shirts one season, although they called it salmon

And they say the English Premiership is predicable!

Yes, pretty much. Just think of very small shrimp, covered with thousand island dressing, in between two thin slices of bread. Quite nice too, they're generally the dearer option of pre-made sandwiches in supermarkets, and often served with corporate catering spreads. The reference is from a famous (within English soccer) article about Roy Keane (one of the manc's better, although nastiest players). When the gloryboys were filling Old Trafford a few years ago, they'd leave the game early if the side was losing, and start having a go at the players over the smallest thing. Keane got pissed off with it and had a go back. He was basically saying they weren't proper fans and didn't understand the games, or something like that. It created a stir at the time, and "prawn sandwich brigade" has been used as a derogatory term for certain "supporters". Glasgow Celtic, also rather good with silverware, because they're basically the other team is Scotland. One of the Glasgow sides generally wins. They have: League: 42 Cup: 34 League cup: 14 European cup (now called Champions League): 1 Not bad eh? There was talk of the two Glasgow teams joining the English league a few years ago. After all, their tin-pot league is worthless, and the English league already contains some Welsh clubs. It never happened, not sure why. Probably scotty FA politics and the clubs being somewhat unlikely to qualify for European competitions, which is where clubs earn big money with TV revenue.

Can we stop spouting this rubbish please? Glasgow Rangers were the last time I looked, and by a country mile. Granted, the Scottish league is rubbish, but if you want to count trophies in a pissing contest, at least qualify them properly. Thought so. Rangers: League title: 53 Cup winners: 1 Scotty cup: 33 League cup: 26 You can combine Liverpool's, the mancs and Arsenal's haul, and you probably wouldn't reach those numbers. They're not so good in Europe, just like London clubs

Don't trust the posts. Some of the nuttier 'pool posts are mancs in disguise. They were joking about it on one of their forums. I guess they stopped service "prawn sandwiches", so they've nothing better to do.

The flag burning was a few retards turning up to a SoS protest. I wouldn't put is past a certain "newspaper" to have sent them in to do it, just to get the piece. Did anyone ever recognize the morons? Even the SoS's most extreme militant crazies wouldn't have done it, and SoS condemned them ofr their actions, and make efforts to distance themselves from these scumbags.

Personally speaking, Beatles have a better catalog(ue) and are arguably more varied and influential. Bill Wyman also apparently slept with a 13/14 year old when he was in his 40s...

I was really thinking how does it compare. Initially I read Fenway was brought up to date with new ownership, rather than a new stadium being built, but another non Sox forum cruised through earlier suggested it's not so good. I've looked at some pics, but that doesn't really say much. I liked the red seat!

What do the Sox fans think of Fenway Park compared to a swanky new one?

He said as much when he had to leave Arsenal. But due to his love for the gooner fans, he chose not too. He would have made a great addition. Good at basketball too

Not only that, if you look at old English newspaper reports, say from the 50s, you'll see journos using it all the time. "Football" was also used when referring to Rugby. Confusing eh?

I don't think anyone knew what we were in for, or expected the mess H&G are leaving behind. Once burned, twice shy, and all that. I've certainly see a few 'pool posts on Rangers forums, but the trolls were asleep under their bridges. Maybe they're worried we might be getting sensible successful owners now? It's not just the problems H&G caused, it's the manner in which they did it, and how they conducted their business. I think most Liverpool fans are twitchy. Personally, it was the lying about not dumping their takeover debt onto the club, and paying themselves massive deferred compound interest, all while draining the club of funds to service the debt. We all saw what the Gazers did, and certainly didn't want any of that. Which is precisely what H&G said wouldn't happen, and exactly what they did. As to the broken promises about new stadiums etc, that's clearly down to the global financial collapse. There's little point in bleating on about that. I wonder how much they're kicking themselves they didn't accept the DIC offer of around UKP500m

You'll have to do it before half time if they're 2-0 down, though.

Because your owners are trying to buy us, and their offer has been accepted by the board, if not the owners. Most Liverpool fans came here to see what kind of owners this group is like, the trolls are just sad individuals. Once the deal is done, most soccer fans will disappear as quick as they arrived.
