isnt there a way - even now that we could buy these fuckers out - if we the fans get all our money together - there is more than enough fan base out there. Cant we do what the Spanish clubs do - owned by the supporters. Maybe there isnt enough time to stop what happens to Rafa now but if we can collectively get this together and we can fuck these Yanks back to America and then get Rafa back. I know this is stating a lot but where there is a united will there is a way

SOCCEROO Harry Kewell is set to walk away from his multimillion-dollar boot deal with adidas in favour of a little-known Brisbane product that he hopes will prolong his career. Fresh from foot surgery in Sydney, Kewell will fly back to England this weekend to begin rehabilitation with his Premier League club Liverpool. He expects to make his comeback towards the end of the 2006-07 season. Kewell confirmed yesterday that he would be wearing custom-made Nomis boots created by local designer Simon Skirrow, who pitched the new boots to him during a visit to Liverpool last year. The 28-year-old midfielder has battled injuries since joining the Reds in 2003. "It was close to the end of last season and obviously I had been having problems with my feet," Kewell said yesterday. "Simon had given the boots to my manager (Bernie Mandic) who gave them to me to train with. The first time I put them on I thought they felt like a pair of slippers. "Obviously there were some things to sort out with adidas which took some time but I've since decided to stick with the new boots." In 2004 he turned down offers from Nike and Reebok and signed the biggest sponsorship deal for an individual in a team sport in Australian history with adidas, which agreed to pay Kewell a percentage of boot sales. It is understood that contract netted him about $2.5 million a year. But that deal is no longer, according to Kewell, who will wear the Nomis boots free. "I have been involved with adidas for around 10 years and have always had a great relationship with them. I count a lot of the people there as my good friends," Kewell said yesterday. "But it's just time for me to think about my feet." Skirrow, who was born in England, has spent the past five years creating the boots – made from kangaroo leather – and admits he was amazed when Kewell offered to wear the boots free. "He was the first one to come and be totally refreshing and say 'it's not about the money, it's about my feet'," Skirrow said. "So many footballers have the mentality of, 'If I'm going to wear a boot, I must be paid for it'." Kewell has been recovering with family and friends in Sydney since an operation on his left foot last month.

Hi folks, I have just moved for work for a year to Amsterdam. Having looked around I can see there are lots of pubs that have Sky Sports etc but would anyone know a pub where Liverpool fans congregate for our games in the centre of Amsterdam. Any feedback most appreciated. Cheers

Hello folks, wondering if anyone can help. Basically I poured water on my Toshiba laptop on Sat morning. It stayed on for about a minute then died so I called a mate who told me to put it off, dry up all the water I could see with a cloth and leave it upside down to dry for a while. I did this and then went out to watch the Cup Final. Anyway when I got back late at night I tried to switch it on and power it up again ( I have since been told that this was the big mistake !!!). A friend opened it up yesterday and cleaned it all up but said that despite the hard drive being ok the rest is ptentially toast. Any idea if I can still salvage it and what if anything I can do or do i just have to buy a new one which is goona cost a fair whack. Any thoughts most appreciated
