Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20 (Part 1)

Gotta love the sha-bang. We have started the CL the same way as we started the EPL...hope this means good luck in the next few gamesTyler2009-09-30 15:13:42

Yikes! I probably should have qualified that statement a bit more... All the media reports I read up to the game talked about Fiorentina's poor form of late. Essentially not giving them a chance against The 'Pool. That's what it was in reference too. Where's that forum mind reader plugin when you need it...

RIP. Sorry this is late Scousers  but the intentions are good. Lonegunmen2009-09-30 22:30:12

Great, that. Thanks a lot.

Dammit...

I can't believe I got up to watch that!

Played ok, mistakes from Carragher and Mascherano cost us goals and the game. Benayoun miss in injury time was pretty terrible, maybe could have had a penalty. Positives; thought Lucas was pretty strong (has played well thus far) and Mascherano too (other than giving away possession for goal), Reina was generally dominate in his box.

Up until the goal we looked good, goal changed the game Chelski then looked like getting a second, Benayoun then came on and we had them pressed back.

Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea!!!!! The funny thing is about saying that the Bridge isn't the place that Liverpool are going to win the title, is that it is the only place you are going to win the title because the Bridge is where the title will lie in April/May, or earlier of course, Unless you guys or Utd do something spectacular or Ancelotti does A Scolari. Don't think that will happen and don't think Liverpool or Utd are capable of anything spectacular. Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea!!!!! ChelseaFCmhr2009-10-06 20:25:52

Let this be a lesson to you kids. Don't take "P" and post on on line forums.

Where's a virtual fly swat when you need one...

I hope the international break isn't going to be disruptive. Even though we lost against Chelski sometimes it's good to just keep the ball rolling. We've got a huge month ahead after the break so we'll need to regroup well. Sunderland away will be tricky, who knew Bent could actually score Lyon and the Scum will be huge for our season if for nothing more than confidence to keep up the fight.

Hey, everybody! Let's all slam the Teenagers.

At the end of the day, the scoreline has the final say, it's even after the ref.

Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool

Nothing wrong with slamming teenagers imo. 

Now, how is that supposed to be read?

I sincerely apologise. I thought you lot were primary skool...

He was actually one of the top if not top scorer off the bench for any team last year,

More drama coming at at Anfield I think:

Ridiculous. What an utter w*nker. Yank$ Out.

I'm sure Al-Fahim's after a new club...

Bill Shankly would be boiling in his grave with these no hopers running our Club get rid of them

Is what gillett said true though? Has rafa spent 128 mil pounds in the last 18 months? Or am i mis-interpreting the article i read?

I think (without really knowing) that he's included wages, transfers etc etc but given it as a round number to sound more impressive. I think we have improved anyway, defo since Rafa first came in. Besides, to show you how much of a liar that c*nt is, read (and watch) this: https://www.spiritofshankly.com/news/George-Gillett-_-We-don-sss-t-believe-you!.html

as the owners though, all they are asked to do is put up the funds when Rafa wants em. after that they dont do training, team selection, transfers, tactics etc. you can hardly say the last couple of games results are the owners faults can you?

im also glad Arsenals american shareholder knows about running a sports enterprise.

Gillet and Hicks were suppose to make us compete with Man U and Chelsea (also Real and Barca...) in terms of transfers. Fans accepted foreign ownership in return for big transfers and a new stadium.

Yet all we have had is Gillet talking in the media, trying to get everyone on his side and everyone against Benitez. A racking up of debt that has limited our transfers and the pushing back of the building of 'Stanley Park'.

Players in since Gillett and Hicks took charge of Liverpool, February 2007

Wouldn't want to be a Liverpool Fan at the moment. Get clobbered by Chelsea, Owners go no idea about anything. Whew

Transfers out from February 2007

Mohammed Sissoko �8.25m
Lee Pelter �0.2m
Scott Carson �3.25m
Peter Crouch �11m

Anthony Le Tallec �1.1m
Xabi Alonso �30m
Paul Anderson �0.25m
Alvaro Arbeloa �3.5
Jack Hobbs �0.4m

Total �79.2m

135.1-79.2= �55.9m

Over 5 windows, which ain't bad (comparing with other big clubs not Arsenal!!!)

Exactly- the defeats aren't the owners fault. But they have been trying to undermine Benitez since they came in. I mean, they tried to get Klinsman (or however you spell it) to replace him. Rafa had the utmost support from the fans though, so they couldn't get rid of him. But we also don't appreciate them lying to us and being complete and utter t**sers about everything. Besides- go back to 2005 and look at our squad. The deadwood we had! And we still won a European Cup and FA Cup! I look at our squad and we have progressed immensely. Torres, Masch, Skrtel, Agger etc etc. As well as making Carra and Gerrard the players they are (have been).  In my opinion, its only a matter of time before Rafa wins us the League. Laugh all you like at my blind optimism!! Yanks Out!!

Great read this: https://timesonline.typepad.com/thegame/2009/10/liverpool-do-not-need-a-new-manager-they-need-new-owners.html

Sorry to kick off bad news lads!! Here might be some better news!

Amen to that. The debt numbers are damning.

Absolutely. I don't think we spent a penny on players over the summer, with the sale of Alonso we practically came out even.
