NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

Great opening Ismael!! Now off to read the rest!

Followed by a brilliant rest of it. I kinda feel the same way but I wonder if it's because I don't actually, y'know, GO to the games. If I had a season ticket I'd feel differently I think. As it is the lows have felt so expected to me that they don't really register as lows tbh. When we actually challenged for stuff the defeats used to really HURT. Now they just sort of..fascinate.

"I can't work harder and I can't work better". Sackable offence right there, Roy.

Actually watching the games is still painful xp, but the soap opera is terrific. I also wondered how much is down to the stakes being low at the moment - even at its worst the takeover saga only seemed to threaten nine points (easy to make up!) rather than the club's existence. We'll see if it's still such a lark when they're a point clear of eighteenth with three games left I guess.

You see I still don't really believe this. Even though with half the season gone there's no reason whatsoever to think that this scenario won't actually happen. Looking as likely a situation to find ourselves in with 3 games to go than anything else tbh.

Ditto. Nobody thinks it could actually happen though, which is the slightly terrifying thing.

Twitter says this is the ghost of Mike Baldwin, come back for another round with Ken Barlow.

walker confirmed as villa loanee

he has the voice of a child

"I think he could be here on Sunday possibly if what I'm being told on the grapevine is right," said the Spurs boss.

"The clubs are talking and there is a good chance it will happen.

"Hopefully he will come to the game, I'm sure. I'm not 100 per cent sure but he could be here on Sunday.

khumalo joins spurs

Is he just another 6/10 cb or can he cover lb too, does anyone know much about him?

Think he's probably "one for the future" - ie he'll feature about as much as Sandro unless we get really desperate.

He was born in Manzini, Swaziland, but only because his mother was studying there at the time. He's joined from Supersports United, which is the kind of name you'd give a team in an essay you wrote aged seven.

It's the sort of thing Mike Ashley would rename Newcastle given half a chance.

don't worry, arry knows what he's doing

Khumalo, described by a Redknapp as “an African kid from a poor background” after his trial at White Hart Lane in August, has been at pains to state he is not the archetypal foreign signing.

An only child whose father was a language professor, he famously responded: “I’m not one of 14 children. I’m probably quite middle class.”

like the guy already

rip carlos kickaball :(

"I think Beckham would get the ball out of his feet and provide quality and if Peter Crouch was playing and he could get balls into the box he could be the perfect foil. We showed with our goal that when we get the ball in we are dangerous with Crouchy up there, and David could do that for us."

'arry lets slip his grand tactical scheme.

if i squint does that say HODGSON OUT ?

BENTLEY OUT

THANKS BIRMINGHAM

JENAS ON A FREEBIE, BOGOF?

Is Bentley a loan deal? Surely Birmingham haven't the funds to buy him?

yeah, bentley to birmingham is a loan, but they have also agreed a fee for kenny miller, which i gues means they won't be buying keane?

oh wait that's shit news then

Kenny Miller's knocked them back.

top foreign club? long-term replacement for pippo?

didn't birmingham have an alleged £40m transfer budget last winter, which bigeck didn't dive into because they were on a million match unbeaten run at that point anyway?

top foreign club? la galaxy?

anyone played this yet? http://haxball.appspot.com/

unbelievably good footie flash game...

that was a well-spent hour

sure he appreciates the enduring italian stereotype

that five minutes of overtime in an impossibly close haxball game was the most epic five minutes of my life.

yeah really, holding out in an epic rearguard for a 4-3 victory in a 2 on 2 was genuinely thrilling

What game are we all in?

West Ham are trying to hijack Wayne Bridge's move to Aston Villa by matching his Manchester City wages of £90,000 a week

learning from previous mistakes i see

Hodgson's gone, Dalglish's caretaker

just saw it, whoa

http://www.bbcarchive.org.uk/pmwiki/pub/localphotos/sinking_ship.jpg

will this be the second time dalglish leaves a club, after stepping in as caretaker, to pave the the way for martin o'neill...

I think Hodgson had lost the players too badly to continue - there was definitely a whiff of deliberation in Gerrard's penalty miss on Wednesday. I'm not sure Dalglish's caretakership will be good for him or Liverpool and I wonder if a public statement from the owners or via Dalglish about exactly what the goals are for the club this season would be a good pre-emptive move. As long as the goals are realistic, obv.

And I don't think O'Neill can instill "Liverpool football". Can't see many Kop-ites being v. happy with a Villa-esque long ball game.

yup I get the impression he wouldn't be a popular choice, despite his pedigree

been some season at LFC no doubt

i actually think dalglish is worth a shot, far more so now than in the summer. this season is practically written off so if he was to string a good run of form together then great. if not then nothing lost as he's caretaker anyway.

i mean of all available candidates he has actually won a premier league, and has a pedigree as a manager. i know that was a long time ago but still. people compare it to keegan but keegan never won anything.

Ya'll love Martin O'Neill don't ya.

Despite the inevitable sense of Newcastle 2.0 about this, actually glad that they finally got rid of Roy. Crazy timing though.

Is Kenny even back in the country yet?
