what was that chant? "sports direct.........(something something)....is shit???"

The success of the entire club depends upon the fitness of 2 players. One is injured - so he brings the other off to give himself half a chance of saving his job and Liverpool's season. An odious football club who, hopefully, will crash and burn in the most splendid way possible. Fingers crossed Man U win their 19th League title just to rub a bit more salt in too. That's a top post. Would love nothing more than to see them out on their arse. Odious is the perfect way to describe that club.

Can't agree with the work in progress statement. There are 3 clubs who are status symbols (Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal)(4 if you include Liverpool but they need a stadium and a fair wedge spent on the first team but you get the history), the rest are all work in progress. Are we really any further away from Champions League football now than Man City were last season if you are going to throw hundreds of millions at it?

I loved Ginola's celebrations for his goals against Man U (5-0) and Ferencvaros at home!

It is disappointing how winning a few games in the Second Division, seems to have pacified a few people. It is the S E C O N D D I V I S I O N (whatever it's called this week) for goodness sake, it means nothing at all that we are beating a load of 'nothingness' teams, that are even worse than the middle and lower Premier League 'nothingness' teams that we should have been thrashing last season. As someone wrote a few posts back - the best you can describe this useless time-wasting season as, is as a "Gap Year". Disagree. In principle, yes of course, we're not winning in the top division. In principle, a club of this size belongs in the top division. However, I disagree that this year is a waste of time. We have needed that winning feeling for a few seasons now. We have desperately needed for the focus to be on the football pitch rather than the director's box/manager seat/underperforming superstar/tabloids etc.... We are still a considerable way off that The Keegan affair, the "takeover" from the hideous Ashley, etc, etc. Meanwhile, we are in the Second Division. Yes there'll always be stories about us in the media regardless, but ask around, and I think you'll find that most people aren't bothered anymore to some extent. The football has given us a respite and something to shout about. I think it's absolutely stupid to take one side or another in the whole Keegan vs Ashley affair because the team are giving us the chance to unite and just enjoy the football for a bloody change. There's nothing we can do about the outcome of the tribunal or about the sale of the club. I myself have chosen to stop fretting and grumbling, and just look forward to the next Kevin Nolan hattrick

The togetherness of the squad this season will prove invaluable, and it might, just might, be one of the first steps towards rectifying the disastrous decline of the last 3 or 4 years.

He did score an outrageous overhead kick too

Some ridiculous suggestions with regards to the "fluke" header! The ball was floated over, the lad reacted, put the ball back into a dangerous position from which we scored! Simple! Had that been Shearer or Drogba or Torres we'd be talking about how well these goalscorers can create goals too.

NE5 vs the World? Whatever happened to NE5 and Mick? whatever happened to that thread? can't find it

Thats the spirit i'd say its the heroin

Chris Van Huyton is class and will take us back up

mate of mine dated Nicky Hunt for a while

I hear Depor are totting up the coins to buy him

My cousin is married to Karl Heinz Rummenige's niece.

raring to go

IF is a big word in football

hopefully

anyone else having trouble connecting to the radio on .cock? says something about the path or internet address being wrong when acquiring licence

True. Would be roflicious if they failed to qualify though. I'm banking on Portugal to fail, would give me years and years of abuse towards my Portuguese friends + Cronaldo now at Madrid. Aye, agreed. Biggest mob of diving cheating cry baby cunts I have ever seen on a football pitch.

And there it is. It really is f***ing easy to make this club a success as all one needs is common footballing sense. Ashley and his cronies have clearly lacked this and here we are, slowly clawing back to normalcy despite the fat one's ineptitude. I wish. If it was as easy as you make out how come the people who have done the best job of trying in over half a bloody century are despised by so many and thought of as s***, unless the "so many" who think this way are total know-nowts? You tell me, mate. tell me who they are. the vast majority think they done very well for a while then lost it in their last few years in charge. Unfortunately in some peoples world view opinions are immutable and indivisible by time period. Thinking a film started well means you have to stand by the whole film being good, even if it ended weakly. Conversely, expressing the opinion that it ended weakly means you think it was all s****. There is no way for them to reconcile having two opinions about the same thing at different time periods. Such a pretentious comment. Was that a team effort with your class-mates? A very valid point made by Thomas tbh. That's it! I'm telling my mummy about you

Because he isn't ghana pass a medical. Even if he was fit, he'd go somewhere else. I doubt he'd be very Appiah.
