    Let me guess. You take your vitamins and fish oil daily, right? ;)

    I'm not touching that one with a barge pole :whistle:

    The Fulham thing was wide of the mark. I don't think they've ever had it so good. But in general, he may be on to something. WBA do play some good stuff. And if they're not pulling off amazing relegation escapes, they're getting relegated and storming back in with style the next season. I wonder if Newcastle fans might not be secretly a little happier that they are rebuilding, and doing well, in a less competitive division. Instead of having another traumatic campaign in the spotlight like last season. Sometimes going down, taking your medicine, rebuilding and storming back up for next season leaves you in a stronger position 3 seasons hence, than just hanging on for from life 2 years in a row.

    Interesting article Stu. To pick one bone with it though: Barton is a bad pundit, in a sport whose coverage is renowned (or should be) for bad punditry. But dear God, the Americans are even worse. You should see the twit (Eric Wynalda) they have on their phone-in show (replacing the infamous Steve Cohen). "Cringeworthy" doesn't begin to cover it (added to by the fact that Wynalda obviously fancies himself as a bit of a superstar because of his gloriour err career with the US national team). The only guy worth anything is the Scottish geezer Bobby McWhatsisname, who is actually pretty good. And I don't mind Max Bretos as a commentator, who even though he isn't the best, still allows his enthusiasm to show through. I especially loved his hamming up a game he commented on from the Argentine league. One of the players names sounded exactly, and I mean exactly, like "shite" (don't know what his actual name reads as). And wouldn't you know it - he scored. I fucking kid you not. Maxxy really hammed up the moment, with added emphasis. What a goal, by shiite, etc etc etc. (well, I guess you had to be there ...)

    To be fair, I think Masch made more of that challenge than he should have. Yes, it was more akin to a rugby tackle (in fact, it would have been a foul in rugger as well, as he didn't have the decency to use his arms and at least rugby tackle him correctly!!). However, the way Masch went down clutching his head was a bit off. I wish he'd cut that part of his game out. Thing is, it doesn't even buy him anything, as refs are to wise to that kind of playacting from him. If anything, it just lets the offender off the hook. Arghh, I can't believe I just defended Tim SickeningPansyFakeBoxer Cahill. I feel dirty now ....

    Umm, someone tell me this is a joke. Its a joke. Right? Err, so what happens to teams after the group stage in the World Cup Finals themselves? "humbly" Ok, this is a piss take now, it must be. "humbly"? Translation: Costa Rica are also offering a large payment. When the Swiss won that recent youth World Championship (forget which age group it was for), his conduct really summed up his character. The Swiss captain goes to take and lift the trophy. Its a World Cup. It could well be the highlight of his entire life. He's going to lift the World Cup, as captain of his country, And that dipshit Blatter wouldn't let go of the trophy, and insisted on keeping his hand on it, as it was being lifted. Err, cause he's Swiss, so he somehow deserves a share?

    I'm losing track. Who are you referring to, Ant or NGog?

    I'll repeat again, its got nothing to do with his dislike of the manager. (plenty of other posters can manage to like, or dislike, the manager, and still have great interactions on here) Its got everything to to with how he expresses his dislike, and the lets that colour everything else, namely: 1) bringing it up, in every thread 2) starting off match day threads with how shit we are, and how we're going to be beaten, and we deserve nothing else (for a derby game, no less) 3) after we win, coming on and moaning some more about how shit we were (I don't know what really is behind 2 or 3, nor am I speculating if a personal dislike of Rafa is behind it, cause I simply don't care why) Rinse, repeat every fucking match week. Thats the "sad thing", and it doesn't require any "twisting" on my part. Its tedious, its ugly, its practically downright disrespectful to other Reds, and after a while, it just infuriates. He's 18? He's 9? He's 2 and a half? I don't know. I don't fucking care. Just stop acting the ass.

    Are you two totally fucking retarded, or just pretending? This is the comment I responded to. Notice the bit in bold? Thats the fucking part I was responding to. The response was to bring up 4 results, from this season, where we defeated the opposition by a combined score of 16 goals to 1. The fact that we didn't dominate all 90 minutes of those games is not relevant. We still won them handsomely, thereby disproving the notion that we've been "shit all season". A very pertinent, on the fucking point, rebuttal of a sweeping false generalisation. That is all. You're all foaming at the mouth at the thought that I'm screaming "oh what a bloody good season we're having, look how good we're playing". Which is laughable, as I've said no such thing. (putting this in bold, so that even dimwits like you two can get it) So, in response, here's what I'm finding so far: 1) joker no.1, who is haranguing me for "missing the point". Which is spectacular, as he continues to argue a point I'm not bloody making (that we are 1970s Brazil reincarnate). I reiterate: For the additional benefit of joker no.1, let me relieve you of the notion that anyone is suggesting that we have been sparkling magnificence at any point this season. You can relax now. 2) joker no.2, who takes a break from slagging off the manager, to jump on the bandwagon, by telling me "apart from that, you are correct". Apart from what? Those 4 games, won by 16 to 1, we were either shit, or we weren't. (and by the way, the comment "haven't played 10 decent games since Rafa took over" isn't one of my own invention - it was from one of the threads over the weekend, so don't accuse me of being "revisionist") 3) joker no.3, who takes illiteracy to a whole new level, by trying very hard not to understand that I was responding specifically to "shit all season", even though he is the dimwit who fucking wrote that. So joker no.3, what are you saying? That we were shit in those 4 games that I referred to? If yes, then you're disagreeing. If not (irrespective of how physically handicapped the opposition were), then you're agreeing with me that "Richie T" was wrong, eh Richie T? Now, all we need is another joker, and we have the full complement for this pack.

    Do you neg before or after *facepalm* ? Inquisitive minds would love to know. If negging was all you had to do for me to "get the point that I clearly missed", then why not do that before, and save yourself the bother? Hmm, I guess I'm "missing the point" again (at least I'm consistant)

    Ziggy, you strike me as a chap who is falling into the depths of footballing depression. Mate, take each game as it comes. Right now, we're only going to be getting relief - not ecstasy (thats sounds a little pervy ... rather like an asian massage parlour compared to a .... shut up man!). Right, where was I? Oh, yes... Dude, just take each game as it comes. Gradually dig ourselves out of this hole. Get our players back to full fitness and form. The better football will come.
  12. isr
    I can only respond to the drivel thats directed at me (rather like Liverpool v Hull, in your estimation). So I would suggest that you think more clearly before you start chiming in with "lost the point, have we? ho ho ho" posts in future. Getting the point first, would be a start.
  13. isr
    Oh come on. Its a bit late to be getting precious over that tit. The guy practically revels in proclaiming how shit we are, and starts running up the white flag before a ball is kicked (exaggeration? check out his opening post on the match day thread). And now, after we win? More bollocks. Its got nothing to do with his opinion of the manager. I don't give a fuck if he's got a love crush on the manager, or hates him like a jilted giggalo. Thats his problem. Rather, its more like him, Red Nick et al just can't stomach the fact that we win, and that some Liverpool supporters out there might have a hint of a smile on their faces after the game - so they need to spread the misery around a bit more. Its too fucking tedious, and deserves everything it gets.

    He may not have known what was behind the posting of the picture, but he's not "ignorant" if he points out that the picture itself, no matter what, ahem, "message" its trying to convey, might well be a bit tasteless.

    Really? 'Liverpool 4 Stoke 0' is missing the point because we only played well for 60 minutes? Yeah, I know. I already told you. When we score 6, its not because we're any good, its because the opposition are totally completely utterly shit. In fact, its a thundering disgrace we didn't score more. The more I think about it, I don't know what 4 games, with a combined score of: Liverpool 16 Opposition 1 would have anything to do with the assertion that "we've played shit football all season long". You're right, I've completely missed the point. Wake me up when we play well enough. I'll be sure to record the date and scoreline for posterity (what will it be? Liverpool 15 Real Madrid 0 perhaps?)
  16. isr
    You're right. I forgot. Football isn't played over 90 minutes (my mistake - obviously the new short-termism now applies to 45 mins of play, and not just 2 bad results on the trot), and the only reason we beat teams badly is because they happened to be shit (even worse than us) that day. Only other teams like Arsenal have any right to expect plaudits when they put 6 past their opposition. For Liverpool, you'd have to be a deluded superfan to thin k we were any good.

    Ant, the answer to your whine was contained WITHIN your whine, which made your whine rather IRRELEVANT.
  18. isr
    Apples and oranges. We're going through a sustained bad patch. For the last couple of months, it seems that when we play poorly, we lose. When we play well, we lose. And when we play brilliantly, we draw (Birmingham). You don't get through that by playing champagne football. You dig yourself out by getting results. The time to compare is when our best players are closer to 95% fitness, and the immediate panic is over. You wouldn't have said the same thing, about mostly the same players, 6 months ago. Lets see 2 months from now.

    Liverpool 4 Stoke 0 Liverpool 4 Burnley 0 Liverpool 6 Hull 1 Liverpool 2 Man Utd 0 When you let the negativity swamp all over you, then stuff like this happens. File this alongside the other oft-repeated myths here nowadays, like "we've hardly played more than 10 decent games since Rafa took over", and other revisionist "facts".
  20. isr
    Even someone as thick as me can tell you're just a WUM, pissed out of your tiny little skull. And yet, the funny/tragic thing is, much of what you say would be echoed by many "regulars" on here, even when stone-cold sober. Certainly the sentiments behind it. Which speaks volumes ...

    N'Gog

    isr replied to PaulMcC's topic in FF - Football Forum

    Masterplan coming up: Come January, sell Masch (seeing as how he's going anyway, by all accounts), Babel and Voronin (ok, pay someone to take Voronin ...) Buy/rent/kidnap (depending on how much the 2 cunts give Rafa to spend) a quality left back (cue 30 page thread over who it should be). I think Insua has deteriorated this season, and is a large reason behind our defensive weaknesses this season (as the centre backs then move over to compensate, leading to holes behind them, etc etc) Gerrard & Aquilani in the middle, Torres and nGog up front. Benny and Kuyt on the wings (for all his faults, I reckon that Kuyts workrate makes Johnson more effective - as he covers for Johnson when he goes forward) Now all we need is a witchdoctor to cast a spell, making sure no-one gets injured, and we're sorted ! You can all thank me later....

    ?? I'm sure we were in white (with black shorts?), and Forest in red. Well, I was 7 at the time ... The abiding memory I have of that game is how well Liverpool played, and how unlucky they were to lose (the Forest goalkeeper was great). EDIT: just saw the youtube video posted. Hmm, I wonder if I'm mixing the replay with the first game? What colours did we wear for the first game? (Damn you all, screwing with my childhood memories).
  24. isr
    Stu, that was funny :) Ahh, the power to mod. Does it feel giddy sometimes? :)
  25. isr
    Hmm, that sounds like something worth trying. Where's the downside? Either we win the league, or ..... :whistle:
