I don't really care to be honest. An award given out by somebody who believes in the "divine right". Not only that, a person who is from a very much German ancestry who lays claim to the throne. Add to that the ridiculousness of hereditary succession. Also, the British Empire is very much dead and buried. Should we really give a fuck what the "Queen" and her advisers think? But to those who do - no, Ryan Giggs should not be knighted and Baconface should fuck off.

And you think a manager who last won a trophy 10 years ago is? The Danish Superliga and Danish Super Cup in 2001. Apart from that, go back to 1989 for the Allsvenskan and the Svenska Cupen. (Swedish League and Cup) At least Kenny won the FA Cup in 1989 and the League in 1990.

I know you wasn't. I wonder the same thing. Maybe a term to justify this shit football being churned out and to lower all our expectations from a potential top four finish to a top twelve finish??? Richard Keys probably has a hard-on already over that prospect.

Never came from RAWK. Can you say you're truly happy with the performances you have seen up to now? My comment was aimed at "mypost" anyway.

If you're quite happy to be lying in 18th place after 6 games and producing performances that are well and truly dire, then you don't deserve to call yourself a Liverpool fan.

I don't really know myself to be honest. It was just something that was banded around in the press. I only said it tongue-in-cheek.

mypost, the ultimate Hodgson apologist, with the usual shite. Don't give a fuck how many games are left. The way we are playing, it will be a relegation scrap.

Shocking. Can't remember a Liverpool side ever producing a back-to-back run of such dire performances and results. Roy brought in to "steady" the ship??? More like scuttle it!

I stopped buying merchandise a couple years and gave away my season ticket at the same time too. Them two cunts aren't getting my money, but it was for other reasons too. I just don't get the same out of football anymore. It's not the game it was ever since it sold out to Sky and big business. Now it is just an extension of the capitalist machine. The only consolation I can take is that, just like everything that comes into direct contact with unfettered capitalism, it will create a massive bubble and eventually burst with dire consequences - unless of course the spineless business-loving goverment decides to bail out a whole host of football clubs, just like it did with the banks.

Just look at tonight - playing poorly and you've got Lucas and Poulsen playing alongside each other passing five yards sideways to Utrecht players all night, but he chooses to take off the most creative player on the park in Joe Cole and replace him with Maxi in the 81st minute. Had David Ngog on the bench, who is by no means the greatest of players by a long way, but he has scored 5 goals in the competition already. Surely it was worth a gamble?

Tory budget is "clearly regressive" according to Institute for Fiscal Studies. Irrelevant.

Wrong. Adrian Cheng left QSL in April this year. BEIJING, May 1 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China-QSL Sports Limited (QSL) is pleased to announce today that Dr. Yang Guang will become a partner of Mr. Kenny Huang to jointly promote QSL's investment in China's National Basketball League (NBL) as well as the Company's effort to develop the China Youth Baseball League. QSL's other founding partner Mr. Adrian Cheng has decided to leave QSL with effect from April 24, 2010 to focus on his other business and commitments.

Was Huang ever a credible bidder? Said he had "backers", but then CIC and Franklin Templeton distanced themselves from him. Played everything out in public, apart from who his backers "really" were. His QSL Sports Ltd company has the world's dodgiest website which went down under mysterious circumstances at the time he announced his "bid". I believe QSL's main line of business is in sports investment in China - mainly the second-tier of Chinese basketball. Hardly Liverpool FC. His multi-billionaire business partner Adrien Cheng quit QSL in May. Why? His 15% stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers was a pipedream (yet media sources still quote it as true) Apparently he would never sign a confidentiality agreement with the club either. One has to wonder why? I'd rather have a true and proper owner than somebody lacking the credentials who has played the whole thing out in public, despite the (probable/definite) objections of the board. Seemed too much spin and not enough substance to me.

The Telegraph have got a whiff now and have spun their "own" story. Kenny Huang shows impatience as his Liverpool offer stutters along Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton was on Wednesday night on the cusp of seeing Kenny Huang, the only candidate who has made plain his intention to buy the Premier League club, walk away from negotiations. By Rory Smith Sources at Anfield have suggested as many as five bids were submitted in time to meet Broughton’s deadline for offers last Friday, but of those only Huang has thus far confirmed he is in talks with the club over a potential takeover. But the Chinese entrepreneur is believed to be unimpressed by the slow progress of negotiations over his proposed £400 million bid to buy out current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett despite offering Broughton and Barclays Capital, the bank appointed in April to oversee the sale process, all the documentation required to complete a Memorandum of Sale. Checks carried out by the club on the provenance of Huang’s funding have returned positive results and sources have confirmed that his offer is being taken seriously by Liverpool, Barcap and the Royal Bank of Scotland, who hold the £237 million of bank debt placed on the Anfield side by the current regime. Huang had initially hoped to conclude a deal in time to offer manager Roy Hodgson substantial funds in the summer transfer window, though that now appears a remote possibility. Huang admitted last week he was only “50 per cent” confident of succeeding with his bid. Though Hicks and Gillett agreed to a full sale under pressure from RBS and advised by Michael Klein, the former Citigroup executive, after rejecting an investment offer from the Rhone Group six months ago, it has since emerged an attempt to refinance their debt with other lenders was blocked only by a legal challenge from their own board.

I thought he said he was going back to Brazil for personal reasons? Evidently not. Not the best, but by no means the worst back-up keeper we've ever had. Makes sense to bring in Jones as he is homegrown and let Cavalieri leave.
