  1. Hello chaps Going on the train on Sunday and I've heard there's a certain station to try and stop at before the main Bolton one. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers
  2. I want achievements to talk about. Achievements that our rivals will look upon with jealousy. The Europa Cup is not one of those achievements. If I saw the Mancs lifting it, I'd feel nothing. If I saw them lifting the FA Cup or the Champions League, it'd be horrible. We're not gonna win the title, so let's go for the next best thing. FA Cup this year and CL qualification for next. Remember, our two best players are sicknotes. Torres is permacrocked and Stevie's a grandad. Either of them's season could be ended by some nasty tackle from some awful Shakthar Donetsk nobody or something. That ain't a risk I'm willing to take.
  3. This is interesting, and I guess it tells me what I wanted to know from my initial post. From what I've gagued from this thread, people's protests are not based on personal principle. This isn't a case of "I won't line their pockets with my hard-earned money.", but more an active effort to make a dent in their income from the club. That's perfectly fair of course. However I would urge the people who will continue to go on games to reconsider their criticism of fans who are buying the shirts. As we've established in this thread, attending games has (criminally) become a privelege. For the lucky few who have that privelege, that's your way of showing your support for the club. For the millions of other fans, wearing the colours is their only way to show that pride and faith. Having that ticket is vital to you, just as having that shirt is vital to them. If you've rescinded your ST as someone above has done, fair enough. You're entitled to say anything, and I respect you a lot for that commitment. Regardless of the circumstances rescinding one's ST would have, while you're still making that colossal payment year-in year-out, you're in a very fragile glass house when it comes to throwing stones at shirt wearers.
  4. Surely that renders any other form of financial boycott you enter into pointless? The fact you won't abscond it because "someone else will only buy it" is irrelevant? I thought the shirt boycotts were a case of: "I will not line the pockets of the men ruining my club." Your stance comes across as: "If I don't pay into the G&H brand, someone else will, so I might as well carry on doing so." ??
  5. Forgive me if I'm being a turbomong, but can someone explain to me why it's unacceptable to spend £40 on the shirt but perfectly reasonable to spend £680 on a season ticket? I'm not trying to be a nipple here chaps - I genuinely want to know what people's thoughts are on this.
  6. Although - I love the detail on the flames on the badge. Heard a red ranting about how crap our badge is the other day, saying it was cluttered with bullshit. Massive phrenulum.
  7. Hate that third kit. Black is not a Liverpool colour. I have no happy memories of us playing in black, apart from Nando silencing the Stretford End last season in it. That didn't last long though. Love the home kit but please give us a green one again sometime soon.
  8. Are you boycotting going on the games?
  9. Is it just me or do those photographs look hugely doctored!? I'm not doubting that he's signed or anything but they look like those naff mock-ups people do of superstars in our shirts! Like that one of Villa with Torres both in Liverpool kits! I'm happy about this signing though. Hopefully a nice parting gift on behalf of Rafa!
  10. How do! Just after a quick show of hands from anyone on here of the ages mentioned above. I'm 20 myself and could count the number of similarly-aged fans on me right hand that I know personally. I'm in the planning stages of a little project I'm thinking of doing, and I'd love to hear from Reds born around 89-91. Cheers lads.
  11. This Jovanovic might be pretty good, but how many hyped-up European 'stars' has Rafa signed in the past three years that have done anything? Torres is literally the only one. I don't have high hopes for Jovanovic either based on the fact we're getting him free. There's also the fact that Rafa signs people and plays them out of position. Babel, Kuyt, Lucas being the most obvious examples of this bonkers side to his management 'skills'. We need wide players who have class on the ball and end product. I'd like Gareth Bale or David Silva. I'd love Lennon on the right too. I don't think people realise how wank we are on that right wing. Dirk Kuyt's shocking first touch and Maxi Rodriguez' all-round rubbishness are all we have at the moment. Priority number 1 is a striker, though, obvs.
  12. Selling Insua would be silly. We have one left back in our squad and it's him. He's very shit at the moment because of all the pressure on his shoulders. Last season he looked great. He was more relaxed. He's too young and inexperienced to be first choice. Defo sell Yossi for £9m though. Great business. But yeah - depleting our squad of a position we're already struggling to fill is madness. Then again, Rafa sold a great right-back at a shocking price last season, and replaced him with someone costing us £18m. God knows what he'll do with Insua.
  13. City win. The league's over. The only competition we're still in is the tinpot euros. The only thing worse than us flopping all over the place would be United getting their 19th.
