I asked with United airlines on route to dub last Nov. The wife was 3 months pregnant so thought what the hell. Went up to the desk and asked is there any chance of an upgrade to which the doll replied, 'Yes there is, for an extra 2000 bucks!' Ah coach will do us grand!

Swansea's striker besian idriza, a former Liverpool reserve died of heart attack in Austria today, aged only 22. Shocking news for the lads family.

I can him recall hearing of him collapsing on the field in the past, may have been when he was at qpr  on loan from Liverpool or just after he was released.

Rip.

Very sad. RIP

I think it might come down to how Spurs get on against Bolton on the saturday. If they win (and they should), 4th is basically out the window for us, as they play Burnley in there last game who are already relegated.

If some how Bolton get a result, I think we'll see our best team out against the chavs, otherwise I can see a few being rested...er I mean rotated!

[Yep lampard not included is a Strange one  who's pepe? & which cole?

Reina and Cashley

PFA Premier League XI: Hart; Ivanovic, Dunne, Vermaelen, Evra; Valencia, Fabregas, Fletcher, Milner; Rooney, Drogba

Not the greatest of teams and pretty much sums up the EPL at the min. I'd have Hart, Ivanovic, Evra, Valencia and Fletcher out and bring in Pepe, Carr (thought he had a great season considered he was virtually retired), Cole, Malouda and Lampard (hasn't he scored like 24 goals?).

Pineapple by a country mile - although Id be fond of a good mango also.

Have to agree with this, although they are a bitch to get into, so not great for convenience

Need a window regulator for my freelander. Mechanic can't find second hand one and new ones cost the guts of £140. Found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280495557239&_trksid=p2759.l1259  anyone have any idea if this will do the job?

I think they can this season in fairness!

Thing is they have had a fantastic season and we've had a shite one, yet they aren't guarenteed (yet) to finish above us

Wow wat a backup for minder   No wait ive just seen the avatar..HAHAHAHA...

I'll ask your permission in future, whether or not I can post on an open forum so

A spuds fan laughing at a Pool one, now I've heard it all...

That's were I've seen him before...cheers Minder

Did that other american outfit take the stake last month or was that just speculation at the time ?

No it was rejected. There is talk/rumours of Hicks not being well (looked awful at Anfield the other week) and he has thus decided to sell all his shares to concentrate on his health and Gillette has followed suit.

That's interesting news.

Suppose it really depends how much those twats value us at and who is willing to pay it. Could be out of the pan and into the fire! Anyway has to be good news to get rid of these 2 parasites from our club

Light at the end of the tunnel?!!!

Tom Hicks and George Gillett today officially put Liverpool Football Club up for sale.

The Americans confirmed in a 9am statement that they are to relinquish their ownership of the Reds as they appointed new Chairman Martin Broughton to oversee the sale of Britain's most successful ever football club to new owners.

Barclays Capital have been hired to lead the bid to find new owners.

British Airway Chairman Broughton will work alongside current Managing Director Christian Purslow and other existing Anfield board members to lead the Reds into a new era - which it is intended will still include the buiilding of a long since planned new stadium - after all the troubles of the past three years.

A press release issued this morning read: "Liverpool Football Club today announced that Martin Broughton has been appointed as Chairman with immediate effect.

"The new Chairman will oversee a formal sale process launched by current owners, Thomas Hicks and George Gillett Jr.

"Following numerous expressions of interest from third parties, the Club has engaged Barclays Capital to advise on the sale process.

"The Club has the full support of its existing bankers for this process and has financing in place which will fully support the Club's operations."

London-born Broughton, 62, as well as being Chairman of British Airways, is deputy president of the Confederation of British Industry.

The statement continuned: "Mr Broughton will work alongside the club's existing management team of Managing Director Christian Purslow, Commercial Director Ian Ayre and Financial Director Philip Nash.

"The day-to-day running of the club remains in the hands of this team, who have overseen a significant improvement in the financial performance of the Club since 2007.

During that time the Club's revenues have increased by 55%; Commercial revenues have increased by 83%; Operating profit (before player trading and exceptionals) has increased by 60%.

"The Club will continue to progress the well-advanced plans for a new, larger, and state-of-the–art stadium which will form an exciting part of the club's future development."

Dallas based Hicks and Colorado based Gillett said: "Owning Liverpool Football Club over these past three years has been a rewarding and exciting experience for us and our families.

"Having grown the Club this far we have now decided together to look to sell the Club to owners committed to take the Club through its next level of growth and development.

"We are delighted that Martin Broughton has agreed to take the position of Chairman, working alongside the club's excellent senior management team. Martin is a distinguished business leader of excellent judgment and with a great reputation.

"He is a genuine football supporter and will seek to oversee the sales process in the best interests of the Club and its supporters."

Martin Broughton said:"I am excited and honoured to be taking up this position.

"Liverpool is a great club with a fantastic history.

"I will run this sale process in the right way, for the benefit of the club and its fans.

"Liverpool is one of the world's greatest clubs and my aim is to try and ensure that we find new owners who are able to build on the club's recent improved financial performance in order to help deliver sporting success."

Stayed in it for the 1st wedding anniversary. Absolutely loved it. The decor is really old fashioned (think National Trust house) and they do pull out all the stops. We didn't have evening meal in the restauant but did have breakfast and it was top notch, in what is a beautiful room.

One bonus is you get into the club underneath it (can't remember the name of it) without queueing. Can't remember if it is free in or not. The residence bar is also pretty cool and the cocktail fearon was chatting about is that price because of the rum that is used in it. Some type of carribean rum and there is only so many bottles left in the world.

With a 400 quid voucher you'll be flying
