Mate you know what it's like on here...Starting for Barca cuts no ice.

Tried to score with his arse.

Come on Chelsea.

Interesting. If we also add the newly acquired goatee to the picture it's an open and shut case.

Wonder what he'll play tonight? There must be a tempatation to put out a strong side.

If Owen isn't gone in Jan then he'll deffo be away in the summer.

I think Ne5 is talking about 'the nature' of Morts comments reg purchasing players in Jan....Rather than availability or what not..

Well unless they pull their fingers out of their arses, that can be put on hold till at least the 2009/2010 season. Its really quite simple, without europe we wont attract top players. Without top players we wont get into europe. Any notions of a big 5 are thus miles away. To break this conundrum you need large investments, good judgements and to ultimately not be scared to take a gamble. Like when Bobby bought Robert. Right but I don't think they've ruled out any of that. Yes, Mort has said we won't be spending big in January. But just as it's speculation for me to say they're waiting for summer for the big moves it's also speculation to say they won't be. I guess what I don't get is why you think prudence at an early stage is equivilant to self-administered colon massages. You mention waiting till 09/10 and that doesn't seem so far fetched or unreasonable. I certianly wasn't expecting instant success, were you? Nae idea what that means This is one of the fiercest competitions in the sporting and business world. In fact, as a market its a pure out and out cut-throat, break-neck speed manifestation of the devil's invisible hand. We need iron balls and to take risks and we need to do it yesterday otherwise someone else will do it before us. Patience is something i've got a lot of, i've defended Allardyce all season, saying we need to give it time. We also need to invest, its an incontrevertible truth of any competitive market. The manager needs time as he has the hardest and most complicated job at the club. The board have one of the simplest. Its called 'backing the manager'. ...and so the battle lines are drawn.

Buying one or two quality players is hardly 'instant success'.

I just got sick of people telling me he was the coaching equivalent of Einstien.

Liverpool are servicing £30m in debt payments a year as it is....

Why is that? With the group stages and seeding you have to beat three good sides to win it. Porto etc.. Are you forgetting the qualifying requirements? Of course, it's so easy we've won it, as have the mackems. And Man Utd have won it loads of times. This is so ridiculous I'm not even going to continue arguing about it. Good. Now go away.

If you can't win trophies with the set up and squad at Liverpool surely there is summat wrong with you.

He is made of angel hair.

It's genetic.

If he kicks the ball wrong he gets inj.

THe man who needs to say he's incharge reveals he isn't incharge.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/12/16/sfntea116.xml Read this article yesterday. He seems adept at changing his system to suit the situation. We'll have to see if English players brought up on vanilla 4-4-2 can adapt as easily. I'd prefer a chocolate 433.

Yeah, they already got one of them, and look how much of a flop he turned out to be. Wooshed?
