So with him CL would be a shoe in? Thats the only way dekka would do it.Never in a million years would we spend that on a player, it doesn't make economic sense. How far up the table would the addition of eden hazard get us? How much added revenue would we generate because of that? Not enough on both counts.
In Hazard's case, I beg to differ. He's a special player.
I reckon he would make a crucial difference to our attacking potency yes. Imagine him swapping wings with Ben Arfa behind Ba. Insane.

From the African Cup: Botswana.
Has an "Olympique" air to it.

fantastic stuff

I got there late yesterday because my train was 35mins late and there were still people happily buying food and drink and just watching the game on the monitors. Seems weird to me.
Games like this one are more about the day out than they are about willing your team on to get 3 pts to some people. Can't expect everyone who goes to be fully immersed in the support and the league table.

Defoe is a good explosive player. Not sure how long that will last though. Would laugh and say well done to Spurs if they can fleece LFC out of 10m for him.

Wilkins is a grade A twat. But this and But that, but but but but but but.
Nauseating commentary.

Their home record is nearly identical to our away record. A draw would be decent here.

That was a beauty of a goal!! What a great turn and finish by Best.
As been said, game of two halves in a half. Shame it took for Cabaye to get injured for HBA to come on. Have a feeling he will bamboozle a weary QPR defence 2nd half, especially with some on their tip toes due to the yellows.

Have you seen their Hillsborough Silence thread where everyone has simply posted a full stop?
always have a look in there when I need cheering up. Makes everything right as rain again -
Love how each member has "Mr. Suarez is not a racist" under their username
What a bunch of nancies

Lee Ryder tickles Donkeys

I can confirm the rumours of me tickling Donkeys are inaccurate at best.
Semtex: Is it true you tickle donkeys? Semtex.
Lee Ryder: It's rubbish mate

I love to have a laugh at LFC as much as the next guy, but that's just.....meh

absolutely loving this thread
JP9 FTW!

Unsung hero since he's been back. Excellent acquisition by the club. He's rarely let us down, and when he has it was down to injury or rustiness. Hope he continues to improve. Such a threat from set-pieces. Due a goal or five!

Other players linked with moves away include Cheik Tiote, Yohan Cabaye, Tim Krul, and Fabricio Coloccini.
so basically any player that is doing well for us
Pretty obvious the media's all-out assault on us this transfer window. We're easy bait having let go of Carroll on the last day last season, and talk of us being a selling club has become cliche and common place. Easy work for the journo scum. Plus there's the element who are jealous of our progress this season, and the fact that we've actually pulled off some decent results and ruffled a few feathers.
They can all go fuck themselves.

Since the Bosman ruling came into effect, power in football shifted dramatically into the hands of the players and their agents. Ba is a prime example. It is true that his knees were a sticking point for any club that was trying to sign him, but I'm fairly certain that any club would have taken the chance on him, given the free transfer.
What we don't know is how badly Pardew/Carr/Directors wanted Ba. Did they see him as a cheap option, and were still determined to bring in another forward (Erding/Maiga), or was he really the man they wanted to lead the line, and could see his real potential. For all we know, his form at West Ham was a purple patch, and he could've gone on to post mere average numbers in terms of goals and appearances for us. I reckon the contract he was offered here directly reflects how badly we wanted him here, and the vision that Pardew/Carr had for him at this club with this squad of players. Was he just another body, or was he going to be the main man (Carroll's replacement).
If the club really knew what they were signing, I would find it difficult to believe such a low trigger clause exists. However, if he was signed as a cheap squad option, then I would find it quite plausible that such a clause does exist in his contract, especially if he is on a pay as you play deal, with an option to ditch should the knees become a major problem.
IMO the key is in how we planned to use him from the off. Did he just take everyone by surprise, including his own bosses, with his current form? or was he well scouted, and the club knew exactly what they were doing signing him?

LFC can fuck itself. I wish LFC would fold in on itself and implode, forever. I sincerely would not miss them if they ever ceased to exist in this league or any other. The entire aura about the football club from top to bottom, managers, players and fans is vomit inducing. Hope they keep their filthy stubby little scouse fingers off of Demba Ba. If the lad should go I hope he'll have more sense than the two numpties Enrique and Carroll.

“@LiterallyJamie: LFC team news; Several players out for the reds - Leiva (knee), Gerrard (ankle), Suarez (racist).”

Thanks to you and all the mods for all your time and work behind the curtain.
Hear hear.
Sustained. Take a bow mods, and Dave
Happy 2012 y'all

How these cunts will have the gall to appeal I'll never know! (assuming they do).
-
at least this game is now out of the fucking way.
embarrassing performances from some today, Obertan, Jonas and Tiote in particular. when 3 out of your 4/5 midfielders have a game as bad as they did you stand no chance. must say, the FK leading up to their 2nd should never have happened.
Liverpool FC can fuck itself.

Anyone catch that impossible save on the line by Forster? Unbelievable!

I'd be devastated if we sold Krul for anything less than 20m. Seeing as it could be slackjaw 'arry, price should go up to 35m. In fact we should go with the 35m mantra for all our big players.
