Cherry Ghost

Is this the sort of stuff we can expect Gerrard and the others to get up to now?

All premier league clubs are having to up their home grown contingent. New rules. Merelies, Poulsen, Jones v Konchesky, Cole

Do not delay the case whatever you do, if the case is put back we may create a whole set of circumstances which we don't wish to see*, whilst I think its a good idea, it must be organised, take advice there must be a lawyer in the house.. *the nine point deduction for adminstration that could follow on friday may be not applied but that does not stop a club using litigation at the end of the season a la Sheffield United (£20m from West Ham) using Southampton as precendent.

But he wouldn't understand, he's scottish, no-he's Irish, no, wait a minute he sounds scottish, no he plays in green he's Irish, what is he? Didn't he play for Jackie O'Charlton or was it Mick O'Mcarthy alongside, Micky O'Lawrenson and Johnny O'Aldridge. Or is this Irishist.

What's the point of reducing our capacity from 45k just so we can accomodate their crowds (because as we know it's the people's club and no one who's dad didn't force them to be humiliated at school with a mini-me everton kit bothers)

NYT were trying to sell the NESV share last year but have not as yet, they've got some serious money behind them but its a complicated set of arrangements

Not so keen then mate, remember you would have to share a shitter as well, you know they go on the 26 bus as well. I'll bet in the main stand they'd have different coloured toilet seats for the likes of Kendall and Case

Since we appear to have stopped playing football at Anfield in recent months maybe we just send them out for the next home game with baseball bats, goofy included (that's either Lucas or Poulsen depending upon your persuasion)

http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2482770 Funnily enough no, but I'd be extremely surprised if it surpassed 3rd May 2005 (you can't count music)

What really hurts is the fact the £45m has been spent for some fancy pictures, never ceases to amaze me how much is screwed out of people for 'design concepts' although I'm sure Hicks had a few beef steaks out of the money. Cardiff's millenium cost £121m in total although I know prices have gone up but all the same, get three quotes, they must need the work now the schools aren't being built anymore.

Remember when the new ground stuff came out we'd just played in two CL finals, the world economy was bouyant and we'd just bought Torres. At the moment a lot of the optimism has gone from both the team and the economy. I think the priority has to be investing in a winning team because the 25,000 that turned up for the Europa League game the other week would look pretty poor in an 80,000 stadium. Building a ground does not guarantee the revenue in a city like Liverpool without the big CL games and challenging at the top. If in 3 years time we are safely tucked back into the top 4 teams and have a 60,000 stadium I'd be happy with that. That wasn't what we were looking forward to in 2005-6-7 but the world has changed, the top 4 is no longer a certainty with City around and also Spurs (and possibly West Ham after 2012 maybe) pitching up in the big revenue generators. The new Euro rules on revenue and wages need to be factored in but then that's what we pay big salaries to the Ayres of this world to get right. Plus, remember CL semi against Chelsea, what was Anfield worth that night, Tom Henry needs to be sent the DVD and put it on loud, whistles and all, so he can better understand the role that passion and atmosphere play with this club. If the capacity is limited and prices hiked as a result we'll possibly lose that as well and we know what it can be worth.

Anything is exciting of their is a fine line between winning and losing, even darts. Some sports take 4 or 5 days to build up to the exciting bits, others just 90 minutes. Some spend 4-5 days and never get exciting at all at any stage. Never ceases to amaze me how people will sit for 5 days watching a cricket match (with infiinite degrees of subtlety involving the weather) and it still ends in a draw (with no points for a draw either). I think Americans would love cricket because its a statto's dream, but it would have to be 20-20, pink shirts and floodlights and whooping. (Sorry, forgot, we like Americans again unless you are from Texas of course)

Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear, what is going on with this shite

Yes, let's not let the idiots on either side of the pond destroy a relationship that's not even started. Please remember we've just held hostage for 3 years as a sex slave by a texan so we're working our way back in to the trust element of serious relationships, we don't need no tea parties on this side of the Atlantic at this stage.

Thanks 1-Love it, they don't crash porsches in Championship manager or punch your star players for cutting up your shoes due to mistaken identity. You'd have really loved managing Neil in real life. 2-I wouldn't push that one at the moment although yet again cultural and sporting differences suggest a completely different approach to those who don't get to play in the first team Nearly time for more sweet dreams

What if the decision is about the 'general' manager of the team?, how long do you think he'll give Hodgson? p.s. talking about pricey veterans, we have one called Christian Poulsen, could you tell me what an 'all star' is and whether our Christian could ever be one? Doesn't sound like Craig Bellamy, El Hadj or even Neil Ruddock are ever coming back though Googled it like you said and apart from seeing that was on an astonishing $160m for an eight year contract from 2000 (even more amazing for an ignorant git like me who still can't tell it from rounders) This dumb stuff just confused me more but I get your point 'Of all the dumb stuff the Boston slugger has done since then—playing left field with a water bottle jammed in his back pocket (2003); diving to cut off the center fielder's relay throw; allowing a batter to score on an inside-the-park home run (2004); climbing into the Green Monster and chatting on a cell phone during a pitching change (2008)—he has never topped his hand towel ijinks [that flushing soiled towels down the toilet}. Until last week, that is, when the future Hall-of-Famer swung weakly at Boston management over his contract status. "I want no more shit where they tell you one thing and behind your back they do another thing," Ramirez told the Boston Herald. "I think I've earned that respect, for a team to sit down with me and tell me this is what we want, this is what we want to do." Principal owner John Henry has called Ramirez's remarks "personally offensive," but has promised to sit down with the 36-year-old after the season. Privately, front-office officials say the 2009 option will not be exercised' Just to highlight the cultural differences we have players that hit teamates with golf clubs then lay on goals for each other in massive games the next day

Much preferred the benches they have at Chelski (or clearing the field for a middle east tycoon depending upon whether you beleive conspiracy theories)

And do you have an insight into his levels of patience. For example, if the statistics say that something is not working how long does he usually take to do something about it. (Might have some bearing in relation to current situation at LFC)

I can appreciate the sentiment completely and I'm not going to disagree but I'm afraid I'll need yahoo translate to understand what this actually means.

Yes, but we've just spent all day listening to experts going on how they've turned a nothing club into world champions, sort of grates a bit even if it is old news. It is relevant because we've got to convince them that being champions of Europe is the pinnacle and that winning the world club championship is just an inconvenience that happens in the autumn.

Not particularly if you don't want, although I'd love to know how you develop a world beating baseball team as for the life of me it seems such an uncompromisingly simple game. Is it just buy the players who hit the ball the furthest (or those who pitch the most successfully against self said hitters) p.s. wasn't slagging it just seems like faster cricket where it rains less and the ball never bounces before you hit it.

Genius, nice touch On the subject of baseball, please explain what the difference is to rounders, whilst you're at it please explain why american footballers have to dress up in body armour unlike rugby players, also possibly why basketball is so big when they just seem to go up and down the court repeatedly in the same style and they don't appear to do fancy stuff (ie heading the ball in would be good, I'll leave the harleem globetrotters out of that one because they were good circus). ...... also, why Americans seem to invent their own sports that only they play, that nearly all require serious gear to play and then call everything 'world series' so they can be world champions when they beat any Canadians that dare to come out of their snow bound chalets. Signed Curious

We'll see what Tom Henry thinks of him soon I believe, if he is what people say he is it must because he is a judge of character not because he chucks shedloads of money at sport

Point taken, draft shelved, stop the bus

Can't think of the benefits in this one, the main benefit a lawyer will have would be to drag it out and up his fees. If he drops it another greedy bastard will pick it up. It's not like the finance mails because we can't scare the whole legal profession away from Hicks. Some mild and heartfelt pleas might just reduce the homework they do but the mileage in anything else is small. I'll drop him something even if just to fill the inbox and reduce the preparation time he has for this week. keep the e-mail titles mysterious or they'll just delete.
