Here , not exactly on Galatasaray but same principal......


"The way I look at it is, had we gone out there and stuffed them 4-0 then we would have gleaned very little from the result. It would just have been a run of the mill result against a team who we perceive to be lesser opposition. About as much f**king benefit to us as a cock flavored lollipop. The fact that we were the ones on the wrong end of the result means there's plenty of work for Kenny and Steve Clark to do in training tomorrow. I'd rather that than stroking ourselves over how great we are for hammering Hull f**king City. Blessing in disguise this. Now I'm off, there's a right smell of bellendedness in here."

Anyone know why Miereles isn't playing? Didn't got to Istanbul and I see he's not in Norway for the match tomorrow...
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
As the rumours man tk I can tell you that apparently he can leave for the right price. Supposedly there is a clause in his contract which states he should get a payrise if he played well in his first season, sounds like we don't want to pay the new amount? Crazy if you ask me.

In some good news, jovanovoc is close to leaving!

And fulham in for poulsen? Yes please

over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
like the poulsen link if true! dislike Raul not getting a raise!
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Let in another 3 this morning. Defensive woes need sorting before the 13th...



Aqua must stay. That is all.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Oh and just a "bruised foot" for Raul. Hope that's not code for "out the door".
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Hope we keep Raul. Also hope we keep Aquilani! Didn't see the game this morning- but gotta love Agger lasting 90 minutes without picking up a knock- long may that continue- what a player. Good to hear Carroll and Downing are looking good. Missing Lucas a lot, I imagine. And most people pretty critical of Carra so lets bring in a new CB and LB pleaseeeee.
 
And ye, Poulsen and Jova go away thanks. 
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Hmmm , another 3 in against .Not good.
Decent side put out this morning , all 3 new boys got a run around.BUt only 2 weeks to go and we're still leaking like a f...ing sieve at the back.Carra was awful ; I know we're not supposed to  have a pop at "legends" but he makes a lot of mistakes.  Running aroung yelling at others can't hide the fact that his legs have gone.Simply not good enough any more for a full season at first choice first teamer.
Charlie looked Ok though , as did Downing. Both Jazzman and Jazz junior are unconvinced as yet by Henderson.Charlie got Junior's thumbs up.Oh , he's got his eye on Scott Dann- thinks he'd be a good fit.
I know this is only preseason stuff but  , jeez , still some work to do.
I also see that JWH has come out overnight and would be very disappointed if  top 4 not achieved this year.
YNWA.

Oh , agree completely about Aqua. Was very very good this am.Must stay , end of.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Few rumours picking up around Enrique after his tirade on twitter last week. $6m would be a good purchase to cover LB and Dann in as the CB.

I think Henderson is one for the future, talent there but a few ragged edges maybe. Keep up the hard work Jazz Jnr.

Kop Jnr was enjoying Shelvey this morning over breakfast. He kept pointing him out... I had to agree.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Yeah, would take Enrique for sure (although would prefer Pereira- however crazy the rumours are!). Dann, yeah, that'd be good.
 
Mmm, Henderson looks really good on the ball- a bit to learn of course- but the natural talent is there so hopefully Kenny can mould him into a great player. Yeah, read Shelvey was impressive. Good to hear for sure, the lad is meant to be real class.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Bye bye jova. Up next poulsen, degen and el chat?

So it seems like 4th is our goal this year? Well top 4 anyway.it's going to be tough I reckon altho we should be able to do it if we are injury free
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
One more off the list. Don't think he ever really did anything wrong. Just didn't fit in...

Cole move to QPR? Even a loan would be a start...

AC Milan after Aqua? I so want Aqua to stay but it seems everything is against this happening. Player obviously wants to move and LFC have issued no "hands off" statements.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
...yes, I know, it's got the wrong brand on it but most of the Adidas stuff is Football and World Cup related so I thought people might be interested...plus Di O'Connell who occassionally does Gourdie's actual work for TV3 here in Welly is behind it.

Some Liverpool tat, Chelsea tat even Arsenal and United player tat. 

Personally I fancy the Germany vs Argentina match ball...

How's my driving? - Whine here

over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
We gonna sign Enrique soon? All the talk is that its been done, but nothing official, so we'll just wait and see  good addition to the team (if we get him) for sure, and a steal for less than 10m.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Hope so! Heard a few reports the deal is done but nothing being said until he agrees the personal terms. Sounds like he's after quite the pay rise. I'd be telling him take a small increase and prove to us over the course of the season that he's worth the $60k per wk.

If we could snatch him and Cahill by the 13th we'll be in for a decent shot this season!

*must not get hopes up to early*
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Jova finally gone! Does this mean we have tidied up the wages enough to sign Enrique?
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Just confirming - is that  a "0" in goals against this morning ??
Seriously , much better against valencia.Some of the passing and movement was very exciting.Carroll was excellent , apart from a bloody stupid tackle.Save that for the Scum , son!! Oh , I was very impressed with Downing- quite an intelligent game from him.
Roll on Sunderland!!

They sure are! 145 sunday morning! So can't wait for the season to start!
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Glad the game is on tv live! And with work starting at 5, I think it is the perfect time for me to watch!! Really excited for the season to start too
 
Good result against Valencia and that prick who went after Carroll was lucky not to end up in the A&E  nice to keep a clean sheet. What a player Agger is.

Good news with Aqua getting the #15. Hope that's part of the new settling in process for him.

So no Suarez or Stevie G for the opener? I wonder if Aquaman will get a start? CAN'T FREAKING WAIT
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
line up predictions?
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
I'll guess:

Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio, Lucas, Spearing, Adam, Kuyt, Downing, Carroll
Subs: Doni, Kelly, Kyrgiakos, Aquilani, Henderson, Maxi, N'Gog

Or is Lucas still resting? Then Aqua in and Cole on bench. I assume Raul, Skrtel, Luis and Stevie are out.

over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
For me:

Reina, Johnson, Carra, Agger, Aurelio, Lucas, Adam, Aqua, Downing, Kuyt, Carroll.

Subs: Doni, Kelly, The Greek, Henderson, Suarez, Maxi, Ngog

My pick is Suarez will come on for the last 15min or so if things are a bit tight.

Aqua to play, he's played in all pre season games and is probably the most in form of all players.

Oh noes!

Translation: "I'm happy to collect a lot of coin for sitting on my arse all season doing nothing.I'm so crap that no-one else wants me , not even Uncle Woy.But I can be training fodder for the kids and make my contribution that way.Did I mention how much coin I'm getting?"

I wonder if Stevie took heed of the advice on RAWK for treatment of his groin infection.Went something along the lines of " get his missus to suck it out- maybe 3 times a day to start with"
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
if you guys can shore up the back
a fit Suarez is good enough (ie; he plays 30+ games) to get you guys into the top4
vital you get points early to keep motivation and eliminate whinging


E's Flat Ah's Flat Too

over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Agreed, got to hope we can keep Suarez fit. And a fit Agger will sure it up at the back (although think we need another player, because Agger is just always injured, unfortunately). We would walk into the top four if Agger was fit all season. and yes, a good start is really important, get everyone behind the team etc.
 
Hopefully Lucas and Aquilani will play. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hendo out there either, although guess we do have Dirk! Hopefully we don't need to use Suarez, although he'll be absolutely dying to go out and play.
 
CANNOT WAIT.
over 14 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Good news!

No injuries after friendlies. Adam scores (think it was given own goal) Aqua scores the winner against Spain aaaand his post match comments:

Aquilani:
"I'm calm. People talk a lot of rubbish abt me. It's not true that #LFC aren't giving me a chance.I feel like they appreciate me."

"I'm at a big club, I'd love to stay and play. But the market closes Aug 31. We'll see."


We'll see you in a Red shirt all season, that's what we'll see.
