Original202

And why do people say "Bless me" after they sneeze? If its all the same with you love, I won't bless you thank you very much.

I'd play the same team that started on Wednesday night. Could be tempted to put Hamman in instead of Finnan but hes done ok last two games. I don't think anyone deserves to lose their place after Wednesday night.

Not bothered by it, but can't understand how this has appeared on their official site. The whole thing is made worse when you think they've just signed Rooney!

But the B is pronounced as a V... ;)

Interview with him in todays echo. His contract is up at the end of the season, but he says the club have been really good to him so far this season and he hopes to repay them for the way they've stood by him. I think he his a hugely talented player but for the last five years hes been playing under the wrong manager. And of course the injuries havent helped. I like the bloke, but think its for the best if he moves on at the end of the season, I just dont think its ever going to really happen for him here.

Don't like it, sounds like something the elitist knobs from the back of 202 would sing - mind you its better than the "Sing you fucking wankers" that some wool shouted at everyone last week. Thats really going to get everyone in the mood for singing isn't it. Tit. Keep trying buddy. "Chavi Alonso clap clap clap clap clap" will do for now. But a world class player does deserve something better.

Noel. I reckon a lot of the people on the waiting list go to 95% of home league games anyway, so I don't think the increase will immediately be that big. The club have been daft here though. We've hardly ever sold out for mid week cup games.

Oh, and Thommo and Damiano should also walk. And Joe Corrigan. Time for a completely fresh start.

I think bringing in Kenny would be a terrible move. You should never go back. I think too many people are still living in the past. Imagine if Kenny comes back and fails? In a way I think we should go for a completely fresh approach. My money is still on Toshack though. He's not carrying on at Murcia next season. A few months ago on goals on sunday he was hinting how much he would love the Liverpool job. And if the rumours are true, he was offered the job in 1998 but he didn't want to work with anyone else....

Heard they haven't got anyone to sponsor them for next year, worth putting an offer in again Dave? Slight consolation that they're in such a state, but the Thai fella is reportedly looking at other clubs....

Contrast this with the Ste Gerrard article.....

A Not because the players and managers deserve a good send off, but it'd be nice just for Anfield to have a good atmosphere. Might even enjoy going to the game for once. Last game of the season fellas. Flag day, nice (ish) weather, bit of banter, exhibtion football (hmm). Fuck it, I might even wear a jester hat.

If Morgan comes in I don't think Houllier will keep his job. But otherwise, looks like we're stuck with him.

Why the sudden obsession with Manc songs? The yer havin a laff/larf chant was started by the inbreds from up the road. Surely the 'greatest supporters in the world' wouldn't steal the tune and words for a song? Heaven forbid. As regards to the mosaic, half of the recent ones have been crap. No point in having them unless they really mean something. Stuff the mosaic, bring out the flags and banners.

Hoorah. Give Houllier a contract for life.

Loved the way all the pie eaters crawled out yesterday to go and suport Wigan. 21,000! 16,000 more than their average attendance and their highest for 50 years! Wonder if they'll all be back in August....

"Riverpool Riverpool, la la la" Don't like the sound of this. :-(

Well if he stays, don't expect us to start playing well until after christmas. Theres euro 2004 remember..... Still not sure about Mourinho, but maybe we need to take a bit of a risk on a young, relatively unproven and inexperienced manager? My money is still on Toshack though ;-)

Found this via news now, http://www.thisisscunthorpe.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=55890&command=displayContent&sourceNode=55889&contentPK=9879707 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOULLIER'S ANTI-FRENCH! 12:30 - 08 May 2004 Gerard Houllier wishes it was English clubs in the finals of both European competitions rather than Monaco and Marseille from his homeland. The Liverpool boss took time off this week from preparing his side for the crucial Barclaycard Premiership game at Birmingham this evening to watch Chelsea and Newcastle ousted from the Champions League and UEFA Cup respectively. Houllier would really have liked to see the English clubs triumph, for pragmatic reasons. "I do not mind what the French might think, but I work in England and want English teams to get to finals because it helps protect the fourth place qualification into the Champions League if English sides do well," he said. Liverpool are currently battling for fourth spot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Out of interest, what would it take for the fourth place being taken away and given to another country? e.g If Monaco win the champions league and marseille the uefa cup, will they get an extra place? Or do they have four already?

Don't hold back, just say what you really think....

Should have put in my above thread: I wasn't suggesting we should sign any of them, just replying to MLBs comment that Chelsea have too many midfielders. Wouldn't touch any of Chelseas rejects.

Makelele Veron Cole Petit Gronkjaer Are all being fucked off in the summer apparently. Going to be quite a clear out.

Did you not read his letter? ;-)

You can scrap that one as Wenger wasn't in charge back then. Haven't got a clue, hate these riddles.

Offal must have known as well. They usually name which paper or website the story came from, this time they haven't....
