Liverpool 2008-2009

Stadium's been canned, though not before much expenditure, maybe even £18 million?.

Hopefully this is the prelude to Stadler & Waldorf fucking off, as it becomes more and more apparent they haven't got 5 bucks to rub together or a clue between them.

Got a bad feeling about the Villa game. Gonna bury my head in the sand on Sunday.

Delayed rather than canned ;) but who knows? European regeneration grant of £5m has been reallocated to community projects. As you say hopefully the Yanks will be squeezed a bit more to towards the exit.

A draw on Sunday would do me the way the team is currently playing. It has to get better soon. Masch will be back but no Gerrard.

I fancy a 4-2-3-1 of:

Reina

Dossenna - Carra - Scarey - Arbeloa

Lucas - Masch

Babel - Ngog - Keane

Torres
 
Yeah, can't see us beating Villa on Sunday at the moment, esp with Gerrard now out. Been to the last two games and we've just playing utter shite. Kuyt for me is so far been our best player this season, which says it all. It's good we're grinding out wins which we wouldn't have done last year but agaisn't much better opposistion it isn't boding well.

Anyone for a sweepstake on how long into the game before Masch get's booked?

I give it 62 mins!!!
 
Must've done. The one that always sticks in my mind was when we'd sold Dean Saunders to the Villa, and lo, he did score a few against us the next week.

Something about Robbie Keane reminds me of Saunders. Possibly his squat ugliness.
 
I was unfortunate enough to be at a home game v Villa about 8 or 9 years ago on a Hillsborough anniversary. Generally shit day all round with a 1-0 away win.

This was massively negated by a fine 4-2 win at Villa Park a year or two earlier (or later - my memory is awful these days) which saw a Fowler hattrick, Collymore red-carded for trying to break Harkness' leg and Dublin missed out on a hattrick when James saved his penalty.
 
i remember going to a game that a brummy mate of mine got tickets for. villa vs the pool. she was a BC supporter and we were sat together in the fucking Holt End :rolleyes: Anyways, it was a dire game, 0-0 iirc, Stevie Staunton sent off early on (very unfairly of course ;)) in his second spell with Liverpool. Game died a death after that.
 
Agreed. Once again we were set up to prevent the opposition scoring, rather than to control the game.

It worked, but won't against the Mancs.
 
Just signed an 18 year old Brazilian striker called Flora.

I said before yesterday's game that I would be happy with a draw. Villa are certainly on the up. They have high expectations. LFC's confidence is currently quite low despite winning the first 2 games.

Villa scored 6 goals in their first two games. LFC are not firing on all cylinders and aren't exactly free scoring at present. Gerrard out was an obvious miss whereas players like Abonghalor, Carew and Young are all flying.

Even most of the pundits had it down as a home win. That said, a win was there for the taking and it comes down to confidence. Torres going off didn't help but I don't think bringing Ngog on istead of Babel was a mistake. Babel looked poor and unfit against Liege. Apart from his crosss for the goal he was not good.

For about 15 mins in the second half LFC played well and attacked and that was the first time I've enjoyed watching them this season. (The rest of the game was shite though). Defence was solid again which is encouraging. 1 goal conceded in 5 games. Joint top aftere 3 games and not playing well is not that bad a place to be. It has to get better no?

Well, if we win 2 and draw 1 of our next 3 league games, I'll be happy!
 
Voronin and Finnan have gone. Pennant likely to go today.

Riera has signed plus the young striker keeper. That should be it for today unless a £38.75m bid is launched for the Bulgarian striker with the lovely hair.
 
Gotta say I am deeply concerned about what is happening at Man City now. If we're not careful by the end of next season we'll have been edged out of the top 4 if we don't get the correct backing from the owners. New ground DELAYED yet again, proving they are lacking the funds. Sell up, for the love of god, SELL UP!
 
The Dubai lot will up their offer before too long then it will be a Dubai v Abu Dhabi v USA v Russia face-off which will surely end in nuclear war.

Maybe the Manchester situation has given the Liverpool Dubai lot food for food, and they'll decide to go for Everton not Liverpool...

Ah, the proud Liverpool boot room tradition.

We can't cope with these not rich enough Americans, we need an ultra-rich sheikh consortium to buy our way to success.

:D

The proud bootroom tradition went out the window long before the American's arrived. I suppose you coud say we haven't actually played with any real flair since Roy Evans left anyway!

The Times are reporting the below:

Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett could be ready to sell to Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed. (The Times)
 
interesting comments from Mr Liverpools new book

It would be more of an achievement as manager because it would come about through my decisions,” says Carragher in his first book, Carra My Autobiography. “It’s like the ultimate football man’s dream to be better than Ferguson because he is the master. I just hope he hangs around long enough to wait for me. I’ve got more respect for Ferguson than anyone else in the game. He’s like a Scouser, really. He’s funny, doesn’t mind telling people to f*** off, and he even votes Labour. I love him.”

Aww, how sweet.


still he was an Everton fan 10 years a go so no real shock
