Hi guys just checking in etc etc, exciting day yesterday , I guess some of you may have heard via NESN but FSG spent ?57.8 Million on 2 strikers! good times although it was a bit of a shame to get rid of Fernando Torres to Chelsea, however ?50 million softens the blow a bit lol.

Any Lakers fans in the house then? I always used to like watching Shaq O'Neil and more recently Kobe Bryant tear up the NBA! Wiki search tells me O'Neil is now playing for the Celtics (well I never) but the greatest NBA player of my generation has to be Jordan of Chicago Bulls fame. Actually does anyone know where one can find a decent stream for NBA games? Ta PS I forgot to mention lil Scottie Pippen of the Bulls, he was also class player too and one I used to like watching through my school years.

Whats all this "hotstove" stuff then guys? is it like hot off the press ie insider knowledge?

I agree Liverpool are a bigger club, however you can't deny their following and international ambitions, every year i always wonder if they could just do a little better in the CL and take their culture to the different stages they may just attract a lot more fans AND more potential suitors wanting to put some cash into what is undoubtedly another Great British institution!

Will have to get up there in the new year, last game we went to was the Chav game @ the end of the season and needless to say it was quite demoralising!

Hey Kopite did you hear about the damage to Kuyt's car, apparently caused by a horse sitting on it?

Now then is Linda Mr Henry's ahem "significant other" ?

Hey Redguard, I just read your post re shirt sponsorship deals for Celtic and Glasgow Rangers and I seem to recall both teams having also shared Carling as a sponsor in the past few seasons, this prompts my question on the subject: Do the the 2 biggest clubs in Scotland share such a deal as neither one has the resources (and public exposure) to promote a unknown company willing to pay a hefty price for their services? Don't get me wrong I think both clubs are huge in a footballing sense, but with Liverpool being a world renowned outfit (no offense intended to either Glasgow clubs) I think they are able to negotiate more cash from a company such as "Standard Chartered" to be seen by potentially MILLIONS usually twice a week, than Tennent's being seen by half of Scotland and a few hundred thousand other well informed fans across the globe. Hope that did not sound too obnoxious, I was just offering an opinion!

OP is your beloved club called Celtic Soccer club? geez I wish people would stop calling it that!

I'm not sure yet whether getting rid of Hodgson will solve our woes at the moment, however I don't think it will do any harm as Torres had a dire game yesterday and had about 1 decent chance off the head from a excellent cross in from Cole which was tipped over the bar. Instead of taking off his star player, instead he takes off Lucas who had quite a good game and deserved to stay on, not to mention he had at least 2 shots which could have gone in IMO. To summarise yesterdays game was simply not good enough from the players POV and the managers decisions made on subs, I hope Henry can see the prediciment we are in and gives us a decent transfer budget of about 40 Million pounds!

A warm welcome to Glenn and Camellia, hope you guys enjoy the forum as much as I do so far!

Here are some photos of Anfield from in and around the stadium. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373681_5848.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373683_6562.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373684_6880.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373685_7202.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373686_7540.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373688_8308.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1373689_8645.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v335/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1320576_5568.jpg One of my favorites http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v272/22/64/808333975/n808333975_1068260_2504.jpg Enjoy!

What's worse he claimed that Rafa lost the club, excuse me? fooking prat! once he has settled all the court fees, and possibly been sued for slander by every Liverpool fan for branding us "Internet Terrorists" maybe he will be forced to file for bancrupcy! :harhar: :thumbsup:

The derby is on Sky Sports 1 & HD1 tomorrow at 1.30 GMT, get yourself over to the lfc reds forum using this link http://www.lfcreds.com/reds/index.php?topic=1288.2400 they usually find a decent live stream somewhere in asia for most games. I read on Friday morning that Hicks had sold his shares to Mill, however they were unable to complete the deal as they still needed a majority board vote (of which H&G are outvoted 3-2) in addition the Premier League have a "Fit and Proper" test for owners and directors. The details of the test are myriad but the most important points forbid anyone with unspent criminal convictions relating to acts of dishonesty or someone who has taken a football club in to administration twice from taking charge of a football club, which the PL refused to do as they did not receive any instruction to do so from the board. I know this sounds cheesy and expected, but I am actually really excited at what I believe NESV can achieve at our club, John Henry seems like a genuine and passionate guy and thats just what we need right now.
