You're quite right. At the Leazes iirc.

I thought Albert was the glue that held our defence together in an awful lot of games. I was young, though. Steve Howey was the main man for me. Albert was the boisterous exotic sweeper type (when fit), but if you wanted blood and thunder Howey provided it (when fit). Never forget his late late goal against Blackburn.

Not much that I can remember either apart from "scoring" the "phantom goal"

Simple question SEMTEX: Does Steven Gerrard play on the left of a midfield 3 for Liverpool? LM!! Hello
-
Agreed in principle. Can't Huddlestone play the holding role in the meanwhile? Certainly has the frame and passing
-
So now you're shoe-horning players into positions they're not suited to. Regardless of it being a midfield 3 you still want a left-footer on the left, which leaves you with Gareth Barry. It's the same problem again - we might have the front men to fit into a 4-3-3 but we don't have the midfielders. The best upcoming English midfielder is left footed, Jack Wilshere. Isn't Matt Jarvis left footed also? What about Josh McEachran?
-
Can't remember who said it in this thread, but Garry Barry is exactly that. A nothing player.

I reckon gggg was alluding to the thread title, which does need bloody changing by now tbh

West Ham agree fee in region of £15m with Liverpool for Andy Carroll

Agreed. I bet Wenger wished he had a player like him. At least it sounded like it in his post-match shit-chat session. -

Considering the hype that's around him, the fact that he's just signed a new 5 year contract and that he's our main striker, I would be disappointed if we didn't get £25m for him. Yup. Fact that he's English (home player) should add 7 or 8 million to his actual value. Oh, as well as his age! Anything less than 25 million now would be a travesty. Still though, if he keeps out of bother, I'd never sell. -
and then the ball to Carroll was class as well "Play of the Day" that was! I wish AC had done better with it though as it would have been a fantastic bit of play. The Cheiky Bastard was colossal again today. A Liverpool supporting mate called me at half time asking where we'd found a player like him!
-
Simply outstanding today!!! In Williamson and Coloccini we have the best 2 centre backs we have had in eons!! I include Woodgate in that since we never really got much joy out of watching him enough times.
-
That was some performance from Simpson. Keep it up lad
-
as a finish aye. best goal was the 5th by far for me. the lightning speed at which the ball travelled between Barton's foot and the back of the net was frightening. i think i cheered for that more than any of the other 4. after the 5th I was waiting for a long range humdinger from Barton or the Cheiky Bastard to cap off the night a la Philippe Albeeeeert...
-
Flashback of that! Magic that was! I have to say Nolan is a top, top, top bloke. A few of my mates met him at Glasto and he remembered and bought them drinks last night! doing what a club captain should do, and that is represent the club in the social surroundings. If he's a responsible fella, long may it continue.
-
Squad filler surely. Wasn't he skipper at Forest? If he's a level headed individual he will realize where he falls short and work on himself. If not can be easily peddled back to the championship.
-
I'm somewhat in total disbelief at the way this is panning out in the media and club. I also cannot believe some of what I'm reading on here. No wonder we are shit stuck with this "deluded" label. Let's stick it to the cunts on Sunday first shall we?
