  6. Morning all, I have recently moved to the coast and as there is no broadband in the area, I have switched to o2 mobile broadband which works pretty well, however my monthly data allowance is a measly 1gig, so my question is what is the mobile version of this site ( I have downloaded an Emulator addon for firefox ) The emulator is only working on a few sites though ? Cheers all.

  8. It's an interesting code of ethics Sir Alex Ferguson lives by when it comes to footballers. Kung-fu kick a fan? That's fine. Sleep with your brother's wife? No problem. Bed an OAP prostitute? Splendid. Admit to deliberately trying to break an opponent's leg? Boys will be boys. Refuse to shake hands with an opponent? Ban for life. Everyone will have a view on Luis Suarez's conduct on Saturday but far more unpalatable was the fact that Fergie was allowed to poke his purple nose into another club's business without censure. Bookies Boylesports are betting on whether the outdated Premier League pre-match handshake tradition will be scrapped by next season and at 12-1 I'd say that's a very good bet. More interesting, though, is the betting, next time the two North West giants meet, on whether Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish will shake hands with his Scottish nemesis. Dalglish will be fuming that he's been forced into a humiliating climbdown by a PR drive at Anfield while Fergie has been allowed to escape scot-free for his incendiary comments. Fergie should tread warily on the race row. Last time he got involved in a race row, Rock Of Gibraltar cost him a fortune. BetVictor offer 16-1 for the two Scots not to shake when United next face Liverpool. Not a good bet -Dalglish will shake with rage. Suarez's dignified response to scoring and his equally dignified response to Patrice Evra's dangerously provocative gloating should have spared him the vitriol heaped on him because of a) his decision not to shake the Frenchman's hand, and b) his decision to be Uruguayan. Wayne Bridge was a hero when he snubbed John Terry's handshake; Samir Nasri drew no criticism for a similar snub to William Gallas. But Suarez has been deemed the villain in a media pantomime so even if he'd sponsored a Mother Teresa fun run around the Old Trafford pitch on Saturday you suspect he'd have been castigated for cruelty to pensioners. Wayne Rooney would merely have asked for her number. Hills go 5-1 for Dalglish and Suarez both to have left Liverpool by the first game of next season. The Uruguayan is 11-5 with Boylesports to be sent off this season and it's 3-1 for another player to refuse to shake hands with him before a game. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/betting-h ... rez-683551

  12. Louise Taylor guardian.co.uk, Thursday 29 December 2011 19.25 GMT Article history Liverpool's Andy Carroll is said to spend far too much free time travelling back to Tyneside. Photograph: Alex Morton/Action Images It is easy to imagine Andy Carroll driving alone in his car with I'm Coming Home Newcastle booming out of the sound system. Horribly sentimental, yet strangely haunting, the old Busker song, later covered by Lindisfarne, echoes around St James' Park in the preamble to kick-off at every Newcastle United home game. The following excerpts capture the tone of unashamedly cheesy lyrics penned for homesick Geordie exiles. "I'm coming home Newcastle, I might as well have been in jail, I'd walk the streets all day all night for a bottle of your own brown ale … I'm coming home Newcastle, if you never win the Cup again, I'll brave the dark at St James' Park on the Gallowgate End in the rain. I'm coming home Newcastle … I'll walk the streets all day all night for a bottle of the River Tyne. I wish I'd never been away. I'd kiss the ground for the welcome sound of my mother saying hinny howay." Forget the right foot often more suited to standing on than scoring with, the sometimes wayward positional sense, the frequent lack of subtle, clever, movement and the concerns about "refuelling", arguably Carroll's biggest problem at Liverpool is that it is not Newcastle. According to reliable sources, Anfield's underachieving centre-forward spends far too much free time travelling back to his beloved Tyneside, visiting family, friends and old haunts. Eleven months after a £35m deadline day transfer to Liverpool and a week before his 23rd birthday, the ties that bind Carroll so tightly to his Geordie roots have yet to loosen appreciably. It seems that a Newcastle team increasingly built around Yohan Cabaye's playmaking skills, a growing possession game and Demba Ba's goals have moved on much faster than their former local hero. While Carroll has been warming Liverpool's bench – and with Fabio Capello expressing disquiet about his off-field habits, also slipping out of England contention – Ba, a devout, teetotal Muslim has established himself as the Gallowgate End's new attacking darling. On Friday night at Anfield, Ba will attempt to extend a scoring streak in which the free transfer signing from West Ham has claimed 14 goals in his past 13 Premier League games while Carroll is expected to replace the suspended Luis Suárez. Kenny Dalglish's players may pine for the Uruguayan, but Alan Pardew's team are not about to underestimate an old friend. Fabricio Coloccini and Mike Williamson, Newcastle's likely central defensive pairing, confronted the 6ft 3in Gateshead-born force of nature often enough in training to fear the undeniable brilliance of a powerfully incisive left foot not to mention that ferociously combative aerial ability. "At his best Andy is virtually unplayable," says Glenn Roeder, one of Carroll's former Newcastle managers. "I played him against John Terry and Sol Campbell in games with Chelsea and Portsmouth and neither could get near Andy in the air." Roeder found Carroll consistently receptive to training ground advice but believes he needs to work hard on improving his right foot, movement outside the box, possession retention and first touch. "If I were Andy I'd get DVDs of Michael Owen, look at his game outside the area and study how he does the simple things wonderfully well," Roeder says. If Liverpool's fluent passing style is mentally and technically more demanding of players than the broadly direct approach adopted by Newcastle during Carroll's brief period in the first XI, it would be very wrong to say he is incapable of rising to the challenge. A forward far better on the ground than generally given credit for possesses sufficient natural talent to successfully reinvent elements of his game. Dalglish, who persistently rebutts doubts about Carroll's lifestyle, has long maintained that the thigh and knee injury which have so disrupted his first year on Merseyside represent the principal reasons for a painfully slow burn start. Those who liken Carroll to Michael Ricketts – the former Bolton Wanderers striker who, a decade ago, briefly took Premier League defences by storm, won an England cap and then swiftly disappeared almost without trace – conveniently ignore a significant difference. While Ricketts concedes he fell out of love with football, Carroll's friends are vehement that, if a certain immaturity, homesickness and lack of match fitness have undeniably held him back, disinterest and disengagement are definitely not among the £35m man's problems. Perhaps a sometime England international who, despite registering 11 goals in 19 appearances for Newcastle early last season, had only been playing Premier League football for five months when he was bundled into Mike Ashley's Anfield bound helicopter is as much in need of regular first-team action as decent left wing crosses from Stewart Downing. Courtesy of the eight-game Football Association ban faced by Suárez in the wake of the Patrice Evra racial abuse case he now seems certain to be granted the former. The vogue joke on Merseyside may be: "News Alert: FA offer Carroll eight game first team run; Liverpool set to appeal" but it could yet morph into a serenade sung to the tune of Neil Diamond "Sweet Carroll-ine."

  16. Comolli sure Liverpool can win with kids Published 19:55 15/11/11 By David Maddock Damien Comolli is ready launch the second phase of Liverpool's transfer plan by strengthening the club's youth structure. Anfield's director of football has made clear his intent to not only improve the first team squad, but also to secure the next generation by bringing in top kids from across the globe. The Reds have tried to make up ground on the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal by spending big on the first XI over the past 12 months, with boss Kenny Dalglish given a war chest in excess of £100million for players. But there has also been a focus on the youth structure's comparative lack of success over the past decade, when compared to clubs like United, Arsenal, and even Manchester City and Chelsea. Martin Kelly, Jack Robinson and Jon Flanagan are the latest prospects attempting to - incredibly - become the first player from the youth ranks to truly establish himself as an enduring regular since Steven Gerrard emerged more than a decade ago. But now Comolli has set himself the task of addressing that situation, with the Frenchman, and Liverpool's new owners, believing the club can compete best with the Premier League's powers if they bring more talent through the ranks. That means a beefed-up youth programme under academy director Frank McParland, but also more signings from across the globe, with Comolli identifying kids as young as 15 and 16 as potential Reds. Last week, he made a significant signing in bringing highly-rated 17-year-old US youth international Marc Pelosi to the club from California side De Anza Force. Comolli is also close to reaching an agreement with FC Basel's 15-year-old Swiss international Nicholas Hunziker and is tracking another 15-year-old in exciting but currently clubless midfield prospect Josiah Chukwudi. The director of football has made clear his desire to make the next raft of signings conform with the owners' long term plan of landing young players at reasonable prices, and developing them into potential world class stars to enhance their value. On Monday, MirrorFootball revealed Liverpool's interest in arguably Brazilian football's brightest young star, Sao Paolo midfielder Lucas Rodrigues , and the club have also been tracking the situation with another teenage Brazil talent, Philippe Coutinho, who looks set to leave Inter Milan. The Reds have also been scouting young Swiss striker Admir Mehmedi who has made a name with Zurich, and have even been linked with Aston Villa's 21-year-old Scottish midfielder Barry Bannan. The work won't stop with scouting young overseas talent, though. Comolli is also pressing for the promotion of some of the club's existing youngsters, with England youth internationals Raheem Sterling and Conor Coady, in particular, coming closer to the fringes of the first team squad. It is Comolli's opinion that Liverpool can compete with United even without massive spending if they can introduce a steady stream of young talent into the first team, and the man who signed a 17-year-old Gareth Bale for Tottenham wants to accelerate that process over the next two seasons. Liverpool's principal owner John Henry has always made clear his determination to develop the youth playing side at the club, and he believes Comolli has already played a leading role in that aim. "It's been a great first year for Damien, his accomplishments so far - most of them unseen by people outside the club - have been extremely important," the US tycoon said recently. "He has organised so much so quickly and so well. "Stability, clarity and purpose have been established. A philosophy had been re-established, and we are getting closer to where we want to be." * LIVERPOOL'S YOUTH MOVEMENT UNDER COMOLLI Signings: Sebastien Coates: 21, centre-back from Nacional, Uruguay.

  19. Manchester United set to pay £20.5m for Jones after late £22m offer from Liverpool By Nick Harris SJA Internet Sports Writer of the Year 12 June 2011 Prompted by a ‘hardball’ attitude from Blackburn Rovers owners and a late £22m bid on Saturday from Liverpool for Rovers’ England under-21 defender Phil Jones , Manchester United have agreed to pay £20.5m for the player and the deal is expected to be completed imminently. It is mid-afternoon in India at the time of writing and the decisions were finalised this morning, Indian time. As has been widely – and correctly – reported, there was a £16.5m release clause in the extended Rovers contract that Jones, 19, signed in February. But the Rovers owners’ contention was that it didn’t necessarily force them to sell Jones as soon as one club triggered it with a bid of that amount. A crucial fact that muddied the waters is United appeared to know precise details about the terms of the release before Rovers had given any club permission to speak to the player. The only way United could have known this is if Rovers had told them – and sources insist they didn’t – or if somebody else told them when they shouldn’t have done so under the letter of the transfer laws. This fact, as well as Liverpool’s offer of £22m, gave Rovers some traction in negotiations. Well-placed senior sources in India have made it clear that a tapping-up complaint against Manchester United was an option open to them. If Manchester United felt they were on solid ground with their £16.5m deal and no more, that’s what they’d be paying. But they’re not paying that. That’s why the deal has been agreed at £20.5m. They are paying more to make the deal happen now. Venky’s did not want to go down the acrimonious route of official complaints if it could be avoided, and clearly feel there is no point in dragging the situation out further. In any case, Jones has made it clear his preference is to join United. In the end, it was decided that holding out for more than £20.5m wasn’t going to help manager Steve Kean’s planning. Kean flew into Mumbai yesterday. The owners and Kean spent yesterday in Pune, discussing their options. The Rao family, who bought Blackburn late last year, wanted to keep Jones. That was their preference. Income from a sale is of no relevance to them. But once it was clear Jones was never going to be persuaded to stay – even on £80,000 a week and with the future captaincy as bait – the issue was getting as much above £16.5m as possible. Sportingintelligence does not know whether Liverpool would have gone higher than £22m but that bid was made yesterday. If nothing else, this saga demonstrates that United and Liverpool are both going to spend large amounts this summer.
