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

my old grandad didn't fight the nazis for this

Idk if this has had any great influence on the popular misconception of human rights, usually prey to demagogically fecund nonissues such as votes for prisoners

Guy on Twitter reckons the Guardian's Secret Footballer is... oh, hang on, better not.

Giggs' wife does look remarkably good in that pic.

oh no way chris?

Is there genuinely a huge outcry about the right to privacy being given more emphasis than the right to publish private information or have the press been playing it up? There's curiosity, for sure, but i'm not sure how much anger directed at the players or judges.

i don't know anybody who's too incensed by the injunction, know. if the PCC had any interest in or ability to stop newspapers behaving like utter fucking dicks then this situation wouldn't have arisen.

injunction a+ would read again

This arsenal women's goalie has a kickout and a half

oh no way chris?

I'm genuinely scared of typing the name! Even though a local journalist has tweeted the name, and if you google the name a load of message boards come up with people who also think it's this guy.

oh right i thought it was family man ryan giggs from wales

There's talk of go-karting in today's article, if that's any help.

Should he still be at LFC?

Watched first half of Women's FA Cup Final. V.onesided. Kim Little is a helluva player tho.

Yeah she was great wasn't she. Not a huge follower of women's football but in the cup finals and England games I've seen over the last few years Rachel Yankey's always stood out.

message borads say danny murphy and kevin davies but the 'quite a bit of england experience a while back' suggests it shouldn't be either of them. one name that did stick out was jonathon woodgate? chris can you not at least give us a clue?

Murphy after signing for Charlton in 2004:

"If you are working at a club that has stability it gives you peace of mind, and that is the case here. Liverpool has lost some camaraderie with more English players leaving and different players coming in. How do you replace Fowler and (Neil) Ruddock? You can't. I wanted to come to a club that was not perhaps so cosmopolitan. I wanted to work under an English manager who I could have a crystal clear relationship with. Alan Curbishley has the things I look for in a manager."

"At Liverpool it was difficult because you had so many nationalities and cultures there, a lot of lads didn't play golf or didn't want to do go-karting.

lol ok

giggs is not the secret footballer. secret footballer is english (via http://www.whoisthesecretfootballer.co.uk/)

love that site btw.

Just realised, is CTB the acronym for Crosses The Ball? Not a very good job of remaining anonymous, in that case.

I feel like such a fool, all these hints are getting me nowhere... :(

there are 2 separate convos going on here is why

Gyan Riggs has been nobbing some ex Big Brother pro-celebrity blackmailer
Danny Murphy may or may not be writing some column for the Grauniad

hope this helps

Thanks NV, I indeed mixed up those two!

Gyan Riggs has been nobbing some ex Big Brother pro-celebrity blackmailer

isn't the thing with this that he hasn't, but he has such terrible lawyers/advisers that everyone thinks he has?

man i don't even know any more

tbf i lost interest some time back, but i can never resist a bad pun

God if he hasn't been doing any such thing then I really feel sorry for him.

But I think he probably has.

yes or he'd have denied ffs

These people. It's all about getting their names in the papers.

all but scholesy, he wishes you'd all just fuck off tbh

Back in the memory banks I seem to remember they were a couple before he got married - was it maybe one of her stories going into BB?

Scholesy and Danny Murphy? I'm getting all confused myself now.

Something about nobbing go-karts.

so tempted to shop that picture of the dude shagging the car

are you saying that was danny murphy? Careful now

i'm not allowed to reveal that a professional footballer will have obtained an injunction forbidding from will having revealed that he will have been a car buggerer

All I'm getting with a google search on go-karts and football is Mario Balotelli. Poor sod, if he's not careful that's how I will remember him. That he didn't want to play go-karts and just stayed at home, playing his PS3 ;_;

If Balotelli had had anything to do with Imogen Thomas I trust he would have let us know about it early and often.

He'd have shaved her shape in his neckhair tbf

Who should he sign? We're still looking for a winger and Eden Hazard at Lyon looks great. We could do with José Enrique at left-back and we need a centre-back, too. Vincent Kompany has been brilliant for Manchester City.

lol liverpool fans

Big club mentality

nice to see everybody else hates Birmingham fans too

dont think i ever met one, strangely enough.

tell a lie, i didn't go out with one for a full year when i was 16. The things you remember huh

i like jasper carrott tbf

tbf to liverpool fans i think everyone speculates above their station, the point being you'd be hoping new signings would actually improve yr side.

Feel like maxi's getting a raw deal in all this tho. If kuyt's not proven that being a shite winger who gets shite goals is a useful talent then i don't know what

carrott's the unacceptable face of second capitalism

maxi's been pretty great. i think the idea that they could tempt Kompany away from Man City's money and CL place coupled with the underlying tone of "of course anybody wd want to come to us" was what made it funny/sad

jose enrique prob a decent shout.

Straight up, and don't spare me- after this season, what do ppl think we could get for ekotto?

idk

£3m?
