  1. Yeah, but the American president and the Russian president are not looking to invest £65m into our club, whereas the Thai prime minister is. Doesn't the human rights abuse record under this guy leave you feeling a bit uneasy. There's surely got to be a better way to raise funds than to go crawling to this dubious character.
  2. Be warned, it's ugly: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=53629&item=4128955735&rd=1
  3. Paul Check out Amnesty International's website. Some grim reading.
  4. I had no idea you were so rich: Paradise Street lures Germans May 5 2004 By Tony Mcdonough, Daily Post GERMAN investment house Deka has confirmed it is considering investing in Grosvenor's Paradise Street development. It was reported last week Deka was pondering a £200m investment in the £750m scheme for Liverpool city centre. This week the fund management company has admitted it is in talks with Grosvenor. In last week's Daily Post, Grosvenor said THAT it was in talks with a number of investors from both the UK and overseas as it searched for funding for the project. The company added it was now very close to having the money in place. The scheme, comprising 1.6m sq ft of retail space as well as leisure facilities and luxury apartments, was originally backed by Henderson Global Investors but it pulled out last year. Other possible investors reported to be taking an interest in the development include "Hermes", Liverpool Victoria and CIS. Grosvenor fund management director Mervyn Howard told the Daily Post last week: "We are getting a lot closer to finalising our views." Grosvenor has appointed DTZ to advise on the funding and last year flew a party of potential investors to Liverpool to view the site. DTZ's head of retail investment, Chris Williams, said: "We hope to make a decision about the investors in a relatively short space of time." Grosvenor is also awaiting an imminent decision from Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott on compulsory purchase orders (CPOs). Culture and retail centre Quiggins is among those who have fought to retain ownership of their properties. Retailers are said to be clamouring for sites in the prestige development. Around 157 units are earmarked for the scheme as shops, restaurants or café bars but more than 250 potential tenants are already in the queue. These do not include the John Lewis Partnership and Debenhams who have already signed up for anchor stores of 240,000 sq ft and 180,000 sq ft respectively.
  5. Sky have an agreement with the PL to show 66 games a season. They will have shown 64 before the last game of the season leaving them with just 2 matches to show on the final day.
  6. Piss, shit, fuck, twat. http://www.flashyourrack.com/flash.cgi?user=bam1964
  7. Houllier got rid of David Thompson because he wasn't deemed good enough for us and he had a suspect temperament. Barton isn't fit to lace Thompson's boots and has a decidedly iffy temperament. Go figure.
  8. No wonder World Soccer call him Sepp "51 bad ideas a day" Blatter. This one takes the biscuit.
  9. Come on Steve, surely by now we are all immune to this self- pity shite. I stopped paying attention to this bollocks a number of years ago now mate. I was talking to a pissed up blue gobshite today who reckons all their current financial ills are down to "special agent" Johnson, he couldn't explain how Johnson had fuck all to do with the mess inherited from Dr David Marsh. Ps. How on earth did Phillip Carter earn a knighthood, it can't have had anything to do with being a succesful business man or financial prudence.
  10. Oh come on, this is an anti-Villa rant. ;-)
  11. I personally hope that they sink without trace (like Forest and Wednesday), can't stand the neanderthal fuckers. The club of choice for the BNP along with Chelsea.
  12. Peter Crouch playing Champions League football.
  13. Jonathan Edwards of The Daily Mail per chance???? ;-)
  14. Those quotes atrributed to Frank Rijkaard about Michael Owen in today's Mail were at least 3 months old as well. John Edward's is one shit stabbing fucker.
  15. Ron and his friends: http://frutsel.terrainhost.com/frutselapp/dump/professornutmeg/bigron.jpg
  16. To the tune of The Piranhas Tom Bowe: "Terrorist threat? There's nothing to bomb."
  17. Andy Taylor was their drummer. Load of fucking shit they were though. Sunglasses went out once Elvis died on the bog. (You will have to have seen True Romance to understand why).
  18. Pop down your local boozer, 'cause SatFootball says Canal+ are showing it.
  19. You must have the world's rosiest garden. Fuck off.
  20. From The Independant: Premiership player tests positive for cocaine By Alan Nixon 13 April 2004 An unnamed Premiership club has suspended one of their players after he failed an internal club drugs test. The young striker was found to have traces of a recreational substance, believed to be cocaine, after a routine medical check. The club made the discovery a few weeks ago but managed to keep it secret. The player was fined the maximum possible two weeks' wages and is officially on the club's injured list. He will not play again this season while further tests are made on him. The player has given the club his version of events and how the drug was found to be in his system. Officials are dealing with the matter internally and are checking the player regularly to make sure there is no repeat offence. There was no need to alert the Football Association as the matter came to light during an in-house investigation. But the players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, has been informed. My money is on Francis Jeffers. Has anyone heard anything?
  21. We beat Spurs 6-2 that day and it was a party atmosphere due to the fact we all believed Souness was a goner. Spurs fans bricked the King Harry that day, the bloody party poopers. That was a monumental fuck up by Moores that summer, and together with the joint manager bollocks of last time and the current farce(sp?) of allowing Houllier to lower our targets to 4th place mean I have lost any faith in his ability to run our club. The stuff Mrs Brady has written fills me with dread.
  22. Badgeman is Jerzy Dudek's twin isn't he???
  23. I think the small matter of signing £40m players every summer might have helped.
  24. FFS Mellor makes Heskey look like Shearer. He couldn't get in West Ham's team even after Defoe had gone. He's strictly Nationwide.
