    That is a good point! Although a worry if they do not intend to get anyone in. Unless he is prepared to give Sakho another go. But you are right about the midfield - there are lots of alternatives to Keita.

    I think Macron is more akin to Cameron than he is to Blair, or Obama! France still gave Le Pen 30% of the vote - which we shouldn't forget. I think Brexit was our wake up call - seems to have energised the youngsters, who have tilted popular opinion to the left for the first time since the 70's. America is just a fucked up Reality TV show! They have elected a man with learning difficulties as the president of the US.

    That reads that they are confident of getting VVD!

    I was thinking of the cunt out of Deuce Bigalow!

    Just an extended Disneyland - with mobility scooters and daily prayers! Very similar to UK/France in the gap between cities and countryside.
  6. Jockey
    Yep. However it also shows the gap between the President and the party politics in America. He wasn't seen as Republican in the strictest sense, and many (wrongly) thought that the Republicans would work against him. He was always a Republican - the only difference was he was the Alan B'Stard type, not the William Reese-Mogg type.

    The american's have always had a habit of seeing 'one of us' as a plus point for a politician. Which is bollocks - i'm not voting for me, i want someone with principles, dignity and intelligence. Not sure where they can go after Trump. Unless white american's just come out and say 'we don't like the blacks or the hispanic' so, we'll have Jim Crow's lad.

    I think he needs to come out now and say he is staying! If he is (via his agent) giving us positive vibes - but doesn't want to agitate, then that isn't any good for us.
  9. Jockey
    He never told me!

    No, I do know that Goretka can play deeper. Sorry for not being up to date with the signings in the German league. I've really lost my way since I lost my virginity!
  11. Jockey
    I know you are criticising but that isn't the worst idea! Why spend £40m this year on an inferior player and then buy Keita next season? Buy someone different - and you can still fit in Keita without much disruption. Don't forget Rafa it seems had Alonso lined up to replace Gerrard in 2004!

    Haha - love the bit where people complain that we haven't put a 'bid' in - and when Leipzig say that we have. They don't believe it! Need to move on now I think. Obviously not happening, Keita could do with saying he is staying publicly as well. Just throwing it out there - I'm not knowledgeable about foreign players, but if he does want Keita next season, then i'd say Goretka as he can play deeper! I'd go for Bender (Dortmund) and the Ox.

    I remember the days when I suggested Lee Catermole!
  14. Jockey
    That is where I disagree. I don't think the original splurge could be argued to be lowering expectations it was just shite (Downing, Enrique and Adam for fucks sake!), and they did invest all the money from Suarez. But - since 2011 they haven't spent any of their money! I can't defend that.
  15. Jockey
    Haha - I don't blame FSG per se for the transfers. Those involved have moved on and I can't complain over last years transfers. I think they have the main stand built - sound, looks good and we are financially far more stable than we have been for a while. But - they could build the Anfield Road stand. And we need to see what this summer brings regarding recruitment. It would be gross negligence to not ensure we have at least three more players.

    I don't quite understand the logic behind this Usamov bollocks! He has been holding on for 18 months until Arsenal are out of the champions league, dip into the massive reserves for a spending spree, and may lose Wenger and all the uncertainty that brings - It doesn't really seem a good business idea to do that? Considering - what he could do is. Sell his shares! You know. If you really wanted to take over at Everton - why not just sell your shares? I don't get it. But then again I don't understand how City, Chelsea are bankrolled by billionaire's and therefore not proper football clubs, yet Moshiri and Usamov are completely different and Everton are still the 'Peoples club'!
  17. Jockey
    Aye it is! That isn't FSG's fault though. Although I think they've been cunts over the Anfield road stand.
  18. Jockey
    No you are right - we haven't (not sure we could), but that is were I can't defend them. Two transfer windows and £200m and the square root of fuck all.
  19. Jockey
    I disagree, fundamentally it would seem! Personally I think that is just hyperbole since 2014 a league title challenge, two finals, a European final. Not good enough but far from boiling a frog! Compare our record to Spurs - who everyone thinks are in a great place!
  20. Jockey
    As you say mate - the 90's - an FA cup, a league cup and another FA cup final! On the back of the eighties and pre - Chelsea and City (Wenger was 97). We were penalties and a slip away! This decade has been shit - but I think we are going in the right direction. Maybe it could be quicker, but I am sure we are moving in the right direction.
  21. Jockey
    I get that but; That was all pre - parasites! And that wasn't enough for people to give Rafa room. If I remember rightly this place itself wasn't particularly nice from 2008 on-wards.
  22. Jockey
    I have heard worse arguments! But I was usually on a binge, and talking to a park bench.
  23. Jockey
    I think at one stage we had - Henderson, Coutinho, Mane, Lallana, Lovren, Matip (missing), Can, all unavailable at the same stage for a few weeks. With Mane in Africa, we lost Lallana and Coutinho to injury (or recovering). Not even mentioning Sturridge, Ings in that! I remember Chelsea losing Alonso against United and they were fucked! I think you are right that we did have a small squad, but - we were also unlucky with injuries & and in light of not having Europe it was a fair assumption. But hopefully we have learned our lesson now. As I said earlier - there is absolutely no proof at all that they will not bolster the squad. The only question is whether it is with players whom are good enough!
  24. Jockey
    First time? 2006/07?
  25. Jockey
    I couldn't agree more! I could be wrong, I just can't see us not ensuring there is a CD and CM and maybe another attacker come the start of the season.
