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

last time he got his way ye got rid of hodgson iirc

what's your point?

minor update on yr last line is all

John Carew to Stoke is one of those transfers that manages to feel both inevitable and inspired at the same time.

and getting rid of tuncay 'tunny' sanli, ricardo 'rick' fuller and eidur 'guddy' gudjohnsen at the same time, a cull of any idelogically unsound elements

leaving the villa martin o'neill created in his own image to go to stoke is crossing the lethe from bigness to......stokeness

Bent to Villa for £18m, Carew to Stoke on loan, Villa reinvest a paltry £3m in getting newly-surplus to requirements Ricardo Fuller from Stoke.

Difficult to see who's done worse out of all this.

logical business all round.

Keane crouch double switch to sunderland to fund move for kenwyne jones ties it all up.

Spurs would be the losers in all that. Kenwyne Jones is starting to look like one of those strikers people rate for no real reason.

yeah i'm not lobbying for it, but it'd be a neat merrygoround.

Defoe, pav to start next few games hopefully tho, crouch just not worth a place on the bus lately

so you'd drop vdv? or lennon?

With our current squad, Defoe should be starting every game, no question.

"Liverpool Football Club today unveiled plans for a new supporter consultation group that it hopes will allow fans to help shape the club's future through regular and constructive dialogue with senior LFC officials." - and on the selection panel for the group is ILX's very own D4v3 "The Boyler" B0yl3! Hope he takes this opportunity to perform his long-promised naked dance through Liverpool City Centre.

Mislinked there - the actual post.

we're at 10868 this year and it's only January

xp

I'd drop lennon on recent form, probably, but i cede the point.

The problem is we dont have any striker suited to the 451 that our midfield talents demand. That's why i'd rather one first choice for that role with 442 as a backup option.

xp iirc i started posting in earnest around then ;_;

Rafael banned v Birmingham tomorrow but Fergie jokes: "I might play Rafael instead of Fabio. No-one would know the difference."

He should just stick Rafael in a shirt with 'Fabio' on the back then.

Fergie's obviously been catching up with last week's Observer then

1. Fuck 'em. Goal kick.
2. Fair play to the lad. Corner.
3. That's racist.

I know it's The Sun, but this seems to have been picked up by various sources. Terrible, terrible idea.

FIFA seem to have ruled out the winter world cup idea, so I don't think there's is anything in this.

Poor old 'arry got mugged in Madrid!

"I just probably looked stupid or something"

bless him and his trousers tbh <3

Wolves in pretty good form, scoring goals etc. Even so I was optimistic about the game today until I saw that Paulsen was starting, and Johnson playing left back. Oh for Insua and Aquilani, and it wasn't as if they were great last year! Still, all evidence to the contrary, I think LFC will fluke out a 2-1 today. If so that'll do me.

Big game for us today, we've got a nasty run coming up, Man U, Bolton and Arsenal are the next 3 league games I think. 5 against Doncaster in the week means nothing and we're pure outclassed by City last weekend, but with Hunt and Fletcher finding their form plus Milijas and fingers crossed for Mujangi-Bia coming in, we've finally got some creative midfielders IF MICK PLAYS THEM. Dunno what Hammill's gonna be like, doubt he'll start today.

Why the fuck I've got a bloke coming to put a TV aerial in at 1 o'clock god only knows. Shall be making do with a shitty stream until he's been and gone, then running to the pub for the remainder unless we're 3 down by then.

May the best team win Noodle......unless it's Wolves of course.

argh gave up going fishing today to watch this, and i can't get a flippin feed

anyone else having probs getting onto p2p?

Henry in for Jones is a logical move but jesus I hope he's chilled out a bit while he's been knacked.

Think that was 30 secs without the ball touching the ground

Poulsen shd be booked for the next one of them

ah he has booked him, fair enough

On FM 10 Poulsens 'favored moves' include "Arguing with the ref" and "Diving into tackles".

Lucas had an open goal there if Nando squared it. Mind you I've seen Lucas miss open goals before.

Okay 1/4 of the way thru' and we look okay. Have picked our tallest back four, but don't think a clean sheet is on the cards.

was lovely from Meireles. He looks in good touch while hugely discomfited by the pitch

seems quite open but I'm only catching the odd minute at the mo

wish we'd play a bit more football. Jarvis really shdn't be playing ahead of Bia or Hammill, I think his time's gone.

Oooh close from Meireles

Torres is gonna elbow his marker and get sent off isn't he?

I'm watching on a proper big telly today with HD to boot. It's quite a treat, can see every divot.

looked well off

Get in!!!!!!!!!!!

was well on, well done lineslady

Good decision from lino.

Now hold it until h-time.

Meireles has been great today.

bollocks. who scored it?
