Houllier V Thommo Bust Up........

December 30, 2003 by Guest Con
10 replies

What did everyone think of the bust up at the end of the Man City match between the 2 of them? Personaly I have to agree with Ian St Johns assestment on Soceer Extra and think that Thommo can be an embarassment to the club at times. Mind you Houllier firmly put him in his place and there was no arguing back from Thommo which is unlike him!! :sniff:

Houllier's spending - a simple analysis

January 1, 2004 by Steve
3 replies

370 views
There's arguments and counter arguments over what he has or hasnt really spent. To put it simply, Houllier spent 2.3 times as much money as he has brought in, which doesnt compare well to Souness who spent only 1.8 times what he brought in. Roy Evans has fared much worse than either however, spending 2.7 times as much as he recouped. This is using figures from www.lfchistory.net Souness took us from 2nd to 6th, Evans from 6th to 3rd, and Houllier from 3rd to 5th. It shouldnt take a genius to work out that if he doesnt turn things round fast this season he hasnt got us value for money when you compare him to others.

City of Manchester Stadium

As Stephen Adams said, shows just how much we need a new stadium. The sightlines are excellent, there is ample leg room and it looks fantastic. It was built by Manchester City Council for the Commonwealth Games then adapted for football and given to City for free in a swap for the delapidated Maine Rd. All City have to do is pay a percentage of all gate receipts for any crowd over 34000 to the Council. Think of the difference in co-operation the clubs have received when you compare Manchester Council and Liverpool's. Threre is a lot to be learned.

I was expecting about 3 months for the ban. Personally I think 8 months was harsh given that Bosnich got 9 months for failing on cocaine. However the 8 month ban does not stand up to analysis. It starts on 12-1-04 and finishes on 12-9-04. We don't play in June and July in this country. Why have the FA come to this decision? Read on : 1. Sepp Blatter was applying pressure for a harsh punishment otherwise FIFA would intervene. Hence the 8 month ban. 2. If they had imposed a 3 month ban it would look like they were allowing him to get match fit for Euro 2004. 3. A 6 month ban would look ridiculous as we don't play in June/July so the last 2 months would be…

I wouldn't want our Chairman to say this but would love it if he said it privately. "What has happened since the start of the season is just not on," he said. "It is not acceptable to the directors and board of Newcastle United or to our supporters, and we are not going to put up with it. "I am talking about everyone here, from the manager downwards. The management and players of this football club are given Rolls-Royce treatment, but we are not getting Rolls-Royce performances from them in return.

The board must be brave and appoint Martin O'Neil as manager even if we scramble to 4th place in a league where there is a bigger gap between 3rd and 4th then between 4th and 20th. To those who have doubts over O'Neil's ability should note that he is the 'man' that the supporters of United, Arsenal and Chelsea respect and also fear most from the 'realistic' candidates .... When in doubt you should always make the move that your rivals would least appreciate and that would be to appoint Martin O'Neil as Liverpool manager.

Thomas Gravesen, in an interview with Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet said "It's a pity that we have been fighting at the bottom, but the statistics show that the club has never been relegated. I just keep that in mind". Which statistics are these? the real statistics show two relegations in 1929/30 and 1950/51. What the statistics don't show is that they should have been relegated twice in the 1990's. Saved once by a bent Hans Segers and again when Terry Phelan kicked "off the line" (despite standing 3ft behind the goal line) at Bolton who were relegated instead. Maybe Gravesen has been reading the same book as Neville Southall when he proclaimed "We were the tea…

Apologies if this has already been discussed but having only heard yesterday about Ruddocks comments on Soccer AM, I am truly disgusted..... If anyone else hasn't heard, he reckons they used to play a game on match day that players would pass a £1 coin around between them during the game and whoever was left with it at the final whistle had to get the beers in. He mentioned one game when the coin was passed up and down the wall when defending a free kick, he went on to say we lost 2-1. Please, please, please will other ex players come out and tell us the fat pr*ck is full of sh*t!

Motivation and tactical changes

December 30, 2003 by Hermes

I've heard a few times lately that we have not come back from a half-time deficit to win a league game since May 1999. If that's true then the game was Tottenham at home when we came from 0-2 to win 3-2. This surely questions the tactical knowledge and motivational skills of the current set up doesn't it? If your losing at half-time then the team needs a shake up to turn it around. A bollocking of the players, a change in system or personnel is required. The fact that this turn around has not occurred in four and a half seasons is amazing.

.......on TalkS*ite just now, Ray Houghton, who has taken the TalkShite shilling, suggested that Wolves would have beaten Liverpool 'based on Liverpool's last three results' This is the same Wolves team currently being battered by Arsenal, and who have lost their previous three games 2-3, 2-5 and 1-5. Hmmmm...makes sense that Ray, same as it does you working for Radio S*n, and taking on board their anti Houllier stance.....after all Ray....your management career was er........yeh.

NEW HJC t-shirts

There is a new collection of T-shirts available at the Hillsborough Justice Campaign Shop. Each of the four t-shirts are sand in colour with an image of a legend on them, similar to the Kenny Dalglish ones earlier in the year, priced £12.00. The players included are Elisha Scott, Billy Liddel, Alan & Ray Kennedy. Each of these t-shirts are marked with a distintive HJC emblem and flame, and each does look stunning. The Alan Kennedy one in particular is a joy, with Barney pictured kissing the European Cup in Paris. At the moment they are very limited although we are hoping to have more available in the near future. All the money raised from the sale of the …

Does anybody really buy Houllier's explanation that he was shattered following the Bolton game? He was taken off after just over an hour, he is 19 and as fit as he'll ever be. Surely its the likes of Smicer who should be having difficulty. Call me a cynic, but I'm getting a bit pissed off with all this shite about players being tired etc. Methinks the real game plan at City was to defend deep and hoof the ball forward to our record signing.

Just wonderin how it went really? Was relying on text alerts, don't get Radio City when I'm home for Crimbo! Thought we'd pulled off a real gutsy win after coming back from 1-0 down but wasn't all that surprised that god fowler equalised. Not the worst result all in all, but hardly the best either. Haven't even heard a match report yet, but teletext ratings didn't give any red above 6, lots of 5's and believe it or not U know Who got MOTM! Heard Hamann's goal was a screamer, just hope the premiership boys can bring themselves to show it! God I hate that show. All the best lads. :party: JFT96

Had a good time on Boxing day. Good team performance. Lessons seemed to be learned both by the team who worked hard and by the boss - No Heskey. Result: 3-0 Changes were made. Had no problem with the Kewell withdrawal given it was his first game back but did we really have to have Heskey on the park. It sent entirely the wrong message. And what did he do. I'll tell you - fuck all. Sorry no. He fell into the hordings. After changes we lost purpose and it was obvious Bolton would score and they did. Heskey played so well in Inspector Clueless's eyes he made his way back into the starting 11 for the game against city. That told me that GH felt he could do his own thing …
