  1. Allardyce having his work cut out is down to him, crap team selection and crap tactics.
  2. I don't know much about Ramos, my guess is that he's being talked up a bit. Sevilla weren't that far off winning things before he became manager, it's not as if he's turned them around.

    Another player held back by injury when his country needed him.
  4. The song would only state the obvious and wouldn't raise an eyebrow. Telling them the earth isn't flat would get more of a reaction.
  5. That's why I didn't say that you were, I noticed that you said 'they'
  6. We have plastic keyboards here in England, they are much better.
  7. Some of our play away from home has been very poor and needs to improve, I just wish he'd try to play the same team away from home with the same formation and same attitude. Go defensive against the better teams and attack the weaker teams.
  8. I doubt he'll get incarcerated, the worst he'll get is prison.
  9. I'd be amazed if anybody at the club could do better than a fit Owen.

    You couldn't get into the Gallowgate without having to almost swim through the piss.
  11. I heard that on the radio, possibly one of your local stations, I couldn't get my head around what he meant by that comment.
  12. Big strong and aggressive performances havn't brought much reward away from home so far.

    I wouldn't disagree with that, I was trying to think of his name but couldn't.

    Jimmy Greaves would have been the best of them all if he'd settled in Italy, he scored almost a goal a game.

    That team could have so easily dominated Europe with some of the players they had, shame about the fans letting them down, although that's a debate I don't want to bring up in this discussion. I mean Rush and Aldridge, both prolific and would be worth how much now? We all know the genius of Pedro. Barnes on his club form was one of the best players on the planet before that injury robbed him of his pace. Hansen we all know was fantastic, Stevie Nicol, criminally underrated by fans now etc. Before any makes a remark I'm not a Liverpool fan, just a fan of good football. A few things spring to mind here. One is that Dalglish improved an already top quality side into one which had more flair and became even better. Just what was needed when he came to Newcastle. Which makes it even more difficult to understand why he did what he did. Two is that John Barnes in a way mirrors what Irving Nattrass maybe could have been. Barnes was a talented player playing within himself at Watford, but moving to a club with real winners in it rubbed off on him and he stepped up a gear. Totally. Dalglish was a phenomenal player, some of the play between him and Rushy had to be seen to be believed. I remember one pass he played, was close to genius. He was on the right wing, ball comes out of defence into opposition half. He had his back to goal but flicks the ball first time with the outside of his right boot so the ball curls into the inside right channel inch-perfect for Rush to run onto in between two defenders and slot it from outisde the box. Jan Molby's passing was great but his scouse-danish accent was better EDIT - was Dalglish better than Keegan? (who he replaced) I meant as a manager mate, but yes you are right he probably improved them as a player too. In fact, if my memory is correct, the 3 players who played for Liverpool in 1978 that didn't play in 1977 were Dalglish, Hansen and Souness. Keegan, Dalglish and Beardsley were all great players on merit though. Food for thought though, is who has been the most successful British player who played overseas ? The best export for me is Keegan out of those mentioned.

    I doubt many rate John Barnes the England player, he was shite.

    I'd go for Kennedy on merit, if only for the injury record of the two.
