thanks for the help real red & maldini john, thanks for the sarcasm... always brings a smile to my face

its a jpeg on me desktop O_o

Man speaks the truth! Here here

Agreed. Spot on with that. And he has actually improved this season. Some of his performances have been top drawer (main example being west ham). Plus once the champs league starts, he will again be very important for us. I also get the feeling morientes will prove very useful on the road to Paris.

we'll make a loss on both of them, but i think if robbie wins a new contract and flo and mellor do well on loan, we would only need one more top striker that should be owen me thinks - so 12mil for the pair will do me :yes:

greatest player i've ever seen, though only towards the end of his career anyone know of any john barnes vids?

Hi Rash, i've got a wager on the number of times 'sit tight' will appear today keep 'em up

LOL i've got 2 in the kop - make me an offer only kidding. my brother & some mates will be going instead of me while i'm not there gutted to be missing tonight, but back for the arsenal game fowler hat-trick anyone?

right-footed tho, no?

Gotta be heighway to sort out our RW problem

Greetings fellow reds, I am new to this forum, cos despite having bought the fanzine since issue 30-something, i have not had internet access over the last 2 years. Been going through as many posts as i can and i'm now hooked (specially with Rashid's banter!) Despite holding a season ticket, i have recently accepted some work in dubai, and will be spending 5 months a year here. Was wondering if anyone had any info on launching a supporters club in the UAE. There are many fanatical reds here and there's even an unofficial 'Liverpool Bar' where we watch all the games live. Incidentally, a good friend of mine (and former season ticket holder) has just signed up the masters league to Dubai (featuring the Mighty Reds of course) and he would be interested in setting somehting up with the club. Would welcome any useful info. Looking forward to getting to know u all. m0e

Agreed defo one for the future do you think le tallec will return, dave u?

don't know how much money was owed, but the move should have compensated for that plus he would have maybe had a chance to get back into the spanish squad shame, but maybe not the time of person we need

I think its JAR hands down. Traore makes too many mistakes - simple as that. And imo, warnock will never be good enough. He doesn't quite have what is needed. However, i do think left-back is a low priority position for us at the mo and would be happy to keep all 3

Highs and lows along the way 1993, April: Signed first professional contract with Liverpool, two days after his 17th birthday. September: Makes debut in 1-0 defeat by Chelsea and scores first goal two months later against Aston Villa. 1995/96: Scores 29 goals in the season, including four against Bolton and makes England debut in March against Bulgaria, the first of 26 caps. 2000/2001, May: Wins League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup treble. November: Signed by Leeds for £11million after scoring 171 goals for Liverpool. 2003, January: Joins Manchester City for £6m, but scores just two goals in his first 17 games for the club. 2005, May: Misses late penalty as City fail to reach UEFA Cup by only drawing with Middlesbrough, who qualify instead. 2005/06, January: Scores final goal in City's 3-1 win over rivals United. Re-signs for Liverpool on free transfer. He seemed to conventiently forget that Robbie's debut was in fact a goal-scoring cup tie at fulham. That he then got 5 against them 2 weeks later, and scored a hatrick in only his 5th league game v southampton. twat weston!

I would like to play lyon, and not for any sort of get-back... more to show houllier how far we've come since he left. our progress in quite incredible if you analyse it! but not exactly a glamour final! also, dont think milan are good enough this year. with chelsea there is a flip-side. just remember how you felt when those bastards beat us in cardiff. and then multiply that ill-feeling by 1,000 we beat them last year, and i reckon barca will go through this time so for me its Barca in the final. a team which i will feel no shame in losing to. and our spanish contingent can maybe try and convince ronny to give anfield a go :whatever:

again spot on i think rafa feels the same way too its one of those really obvious decisions thats aren't often so clear ps - i like the lad but i really feel warnock is not good enough at this level. maybe selling him and traore to raise funds for a new left-back might be another summer option?

spot on and thats we need them both in the middle. momo is great for certain games, but why didnt hamman feature? surely this wiuld have been his type of match?!? also i think moro needs to be sold sooner rather than later, otherwise his value drops. if robbie wins a new contract, then we need to make space for one more. and cisse is not good enough for this club!

Is he still doing the business. I heard he was badly off form. What about the deofe rumours? Swap for cisse anyday. We could have Crouch, Defoe, Fowler and Mellor next season! All english frontline!

You really think that why he plays him? You may have a point as he is obviously far more marketable now, but i can't see us selling until at least gonzales comes in and proves his worth

I think the main point has to be Rafa's first season. We were piss poor because he brought in some wrong ideas and some wrong players for the premiership. And if you remember we weren't exactly brillaint in the group phases (plus we were quite fortunate that Depo suffered their worst season for years!) Some teams get the luck they need in the CL and you have to admit we had a fair bit. However Rafa's tatical nous showed in Turin and vs Chelsea and its something Wenger has never mastered in Europe. So i think arsenal would have to have plenty of luck to win it. BTW, i've been away for a while, but I've been told that our run-up to the final is fairly straight forward?!? Can anyone shed any light?

so its Reina Finnan Carra Agger Warnock Kromkamp Hamman Gerrard Riise Nando Pongolle Bench - Alonso, Sissoko/Traore, Crouch, Cisse/Kewell, Carson Sounds good to me!

Do you guys reckon that would be smart? I mean, if he does well for us, there is still no way in hell they'll sell in the summer! So do we really want a 'Loadsamoney' within our ranks? I say if we can't buy him don't loan him. Let his career sufffer at chelski. it's his own fault anyway!

Yes but that was houllier and we don't really want to use him as an example. You tell me which other club was prepared to pay 14mil for Mr.T? 10 mil for El GobShite? 4 mil for a sheriff who'd been shot before he arrived? 5 mil for a croatian who never knew the time of day? 4 mil for a zidane looky-likey? etcetera, et bloody cetera Plus i think he wants the players now to maintain a (sort-of) challenge to chelsea and to help RETAIN the champions league. With Rafa, we are back to our traditional ambitions, not some two-bob, 'fourth-place is an achievement' rubbish!

So, how much d'you reckon we'll get for this lot: Dudek, Cisse, Troare, Cheyrou, Diao, Medjani, Kirkland (am i missing anyone?) Plus Pongolle and Le Tallec maybe? I think if these are all sold, we'd only really need to replace Cisse. So they money could all go towards a new striker and/or right-winger (depending on Robbie's form) So how much: 3 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 3? say 15mil. if the board give us 5mil more (specially with automatic champs league qualification) i'm sure that would be enough to bring in a proven out-and-out scorer. The question is who? Defoe doesn't excite me enough. I've heard good things about dirk kuyt. Maybe someone more established like trezeguet or makaay? If we do get owen back for 10-12 mil that'll leave us with enough to bring in a top quality winger too! I actually think for the frist time in years we really are only one or two players short of a capable squad!
