The OFFICIAL Liverpool Supporters thread

AZ,
do you honestly believe that the liverpools fans groups were not capable of getting the information up front on how the deal was to be financed?
The glazer model was well know even before the Magnier et al pulled out, and it was a well wore path for US Franchise investors/owners. Surely the gimps package at OT would have raised the slightest bit of curiosity or concern when Hicks and Gillette came in?
Either they didnt have the nous to look into or they didnt care......

I'd say the latter. We believed them, hook line and sinker. Incredible naivete in hindsight. But in fanzines there has always been a bit of this 'yeah but where is the money coming from?'. The rest of us said, 'Ssshhhhh, they are going to spend millions on players and a new stadium, and make us Champions again'. They made all the right noises publicly, and we bought it like a bunch of children. Mind you, it didn't take long for the major doubts to start setting in, for most of us anyway.

It's like looking back on when you believed in santy.

Prepare to meet thy mecca

Which mecca?

This one?


Or this one?

Well at least the reserves can beat United. Just caught some of it on Liverpool TV there, 2-0 to Liverpool with goals from Alonso (pen) and Kewell.

Kewell's goal came straight from a shocking decision to disallow a United equaliser in the last few minutes. A header from Simpson seemed to be well over the line, but the keeper kept his body between the linesman and the ball, and kept it in play.

Alonso, Skrtel, Agger and Kewell player for Liverpool, with Alonso and Kewell playing 90 minutes. Agger played the first half and Skrtel the second.

Nemeth was very good up front again for Liverpool , looks a bit like Torres in his appearance.

United had a very young team out, although Gary Neville did a bit at right back.

Did Neville play the whole match?

[AZOffaly]

I didn't see him at the end, so I would think he got taken off. Probably just given a run out.

[new devil]

Hopefully hes not far off first team football!

[AZOffaly]

He seemed to get a bit of a chasing from Harry Kewell, so I'd say he's a long way off being ready for the first team

I often take our old and half blind sheepdog out for a walk and then let him run out about the fields at home...
More or less the same thing with Neville i would imagine

Maybe someone done a Neil Ruddock on him.

I thought of that alright, but there was no mention in the commentary.

Nemeth seems to be a prospect, I wouldnt mind seeing him given a run out alongside torres later in the season.

What do yous think of Insua? is he the answer to the left back problems?

Good to see Agger back playing. Without Carragher playing at the weekend, the defence looked dodgy.

Saw plenty of him for the Argies U-20's last summer live in person - he was excellent. Should be given a run out
