Bascombe latest effort

[SpeedyG]

I hate to break this to you, but you're wrong quite a lot when it comes to football.

 

If I heard that from someone that knew about football, I'd ruminate. I'm not ruminating.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

you sad, sad man.

 

That's rich coming from Mongmo.

[JohnnyH]

Well they've both got a professional relationship, or did. I think it's the Man City thing that did, I'm pretty sure Reina is no great Rafa fan either.

 

And I've been told Carra doesn't like Rafa either.

 

Does any of the players?

 

We shoudl get Harry Redknapp in. Players love him.

[RedKnight]

The fact that you say that assures me I'm right.

[RedKnight]

And I've been told Carra doesn't like Rafa either.

 

Does any of the players?

 

We shoudl get Harry Redknapp in. Players love him.

 

I think Mascherano does, ironically.

[GazWillo]

I'm pretty sure Reina is no great Rafa fan either.

 

the bascombe gossip machine goes into overdrive.

 

sad cunt.

[Cardie]

I think that's where it started but is just a small part of the tale.

 

Xabi's main gripe is being touted all over Europe last summer, even until 31st August, and that Barry was still on the agenda for the coming summer, until City come bungling in with £12m and £125k a week.

 

I'm afraid the rift between the two is big. I hope they can both be men and settle their differences but I can't see it.

 

It seems one did almost instantly.

[RobbieOR]

Is it definatly Momo?

[SpeedyG]

The fact that you say that assures me I'm right.

 

So how about you prove me wrong and talk about football instead of spreading gossip like an old woman.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Red Knight's WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH machine is on the rampage.

[Joe Le Taxi]

How long before this is all Lucas' fault?

Paul Eaton 14 June 2009

 

Liverpool Football Club has today released the following statement.

 

"Despite repeated media speculation on the futures of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano, Liverpool has received no official approach or offer from any club regarding the players.

 

"Neither are for sale and furthermore Liverpool has no interest in the long list of Spanish based players being linked with a move to Anfield as part of any deal."

 

LIVERPOOL FC OFFICIAL STATEMENT

[GazWillo]

the internet has ruined football, sad little bedroom wannabes more interested in gossip and innuendo and creating factions among the fanbase than supporting the club.

 

how can any self respecting red put more faith in the ramblings of some sell out tabloid hack with a personal vendetta than our top class manager who, despite his flaws, gives everything to the cause and fights our corner.

 

you don't deserve him.

[RedKnight]

So how about you prove me wrong and talk about football instead of spreading gossip like an old woman.

 

What shall we talk about?

But who are you? Are you in work now? Or are you at home, spewing out abuse at people? Who is Momo?

[Torvald Utne]

I hope Alonso goes and I hope he goes for big money and in a year or two when people have forgotten we won't have to listen to stupid rumours about why he left, this whole saga is just getting boring.

[Code]

I deserve what exactly? And if you think this place is so bad, then why are you here?

 

 

His life aint complete unless he has a couple of usernames on here Woo.

[Brownie]

As far as Alonso is concerned, I hope he'll end up staying but he and Rafa really do need to sit down and try to iron out their differences.

 

The issue that Xabi has, is not only being touted around Europe last summer but also at the start of this summer. It's only now that Barry has gone to City that the club suddenly seem hell-bent on keeping him.

 

Alonso was being offered to clubs just a few weeks back and had been given no assurances from the manager or anyone at the club regarding his future, whereas Mascherano was being pulled into the office to assure him.

 

It's a bit childish, but that's football. If you see a team-mate in a similar situation, being treated differently then it's going to make you think (added to the fact that you have been told by several clubs that you're being offered around).

 

Anyway, I want it to become water under the bridge and still hope that it's retreivable.

I preferred mine like.

[Thants]

The sooner September 1st comes along the better. Where the tales end.

[GazWillo]

like little kids taking sides. sad bastards. if xabi goes, that's football, life goes on.

 

thanks for all the green things. you know who you are.

[Brownie]

I think that's where people can get the wrong end of the stick though. Just because something doesn't happen, doesn't mean it was never a real possibility. When it comes to football, and especially transfers, lots of things go on behind the scenes that we'll never know about.

 

For instance, I posted in the week about Downing and how there's a possiblity that he may join us on loan for next season but that doesn't mean it will happen. It's just an option and there's lots of different variables involved before deals can go through.

[JohnnyH]

Yeah, but God forbid we discuss it on a discussion forum.

 

Do you think you'll ever get board?
