Mikkel, you should apply for the job yourself (viewing an Everton fan as an inappropriate choice would show a very backwards-looking attitude).

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

er, Michel. Mikkel would be Danish?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:58 (twenty-two years ago)

So - Houllier is going? Has gone?

It's news to me, though old news.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, Mike - I didn't want to restrict things to France.

Champions' League Final: Bull & Mouth, Weds night: any takers?

― the gofox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry said: "The board decided change was necessary if we were to realistically challenge for the title next season."

Liverpool won't win the Premiership title 2004-5. And NOW you're gonna believe me.

"I may have left Liverpool, but Liverpool will not leave me," said Houllier.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Real Madrid manager Carlos Q has just been sacked.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

"I may have left Liverpool, but Liverpool will not leave me," said Houllier.

One would have to be an insensitive chump not to be a little moved by this.

Mikkel, you should apply for the job yourself

As long as it involves telecommuting or, at a pinch, a portakabin in Stanley Park.

Time to get the Alaves video out, Jerry - commentary off, Gilbert O'Sullivan soundtrack on.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard Houllier became a different person after his surgery and was quick to turn minor issues into tests of loyalty and generally reduced many issues to 'with me or against me'.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Jones is OTM.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

'I heard'

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

'I heard Michael Collins was shot by the ghost of James Connolly'

― the finefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

from what I understand Dave, this is entirely possible, sufferers of heart attacks and subsequent heart surgery become prone to moodswings and tetchiness due to things going a bit wonky in the noggin after blood/oxygen starvation.

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Have we got crocodile tears from the very person who kept the Liverpool will NOT win the Premiership title thread alive???

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing befits the man as his passing

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

That's thrue what that man's afther sayin', about the wonky noggin an' the moodyswings and the starvation, it's desthroyed he is surely.

― Rosie Redmond, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

If Ronan means me - which perhaps he does not, but I will assume it for a moment - then:

I started the Liverpool Won't Win The Title to make, and discuss, the point that I thought that Liverpool would not win the title -- at a time when, unlike now, various people were saying that they would. (Robin Carmody, for one, was emphatic.)

They did not win the title: I was correct. I like Liverpool, much more than I did, say, 10 or 15 years ago: and I would have been delighted if they had won the title this year.

I also like M. Houllier, a lot, and have done for a long time: search far and wide through ilx and find something that contradicts this.

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, though, kids: Champions' League Final: Y / N?

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Houllier but he did sign some nonces. That's you, Mr Daio. And you, Mr Cheyrou. And don't get me started on The Hadj. Worse than Heskey.

Liked the man, though.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Jose Antonio Camacho appointed Real Madrid manager.

― de, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Calamacho!!!!

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I always hated him, from his ... physog in the 1982 stickerbook on.

― the pinefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Cheyrou could still come good. And Sina-Po and Le Tall look good investments, aussi.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Former Madrid player. Isn't this supposedly something to do with Jorge Valdano getting 'his man'?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Liverpool should hire George Graham.

Ranieri still hasn't been properly sacked, has he? What price a Claudio to Liverpool, do you think? If Martin O'Neill really does go to Spurs instead of Liverpool he is a fule, and I say that as a Spurs fan.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

they're old mates apparently, and don't forget the white vulture is also involved high up there.

x-post

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I reckon Liverpool should go for a dream team: David Pleat as Director of Football and Howard Wilkinson as Technical Coach

Liverpool would have a chance of winning the title in 2005/2006 with them - the First Division title !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I hear Jim Smith is available.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

DC: are you up for watching Ch League Final, Weds?

Martian tickles me.

He really does, the more I read his work.

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

As a Celtic fan can I say that getting Dalglish involved is NOT a good idea - we ended up with John fucking Barnes as manager. Once a Rangers fan, always a Rangers fan

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

PF wednesday is the only night i'm not going to the pub this week, so i think i will be watching at home...

also claudio has said he is very happy in london, so he must be after the barnet job...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Good rapper, though.

x-post.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

PF, I'd love to watch two Great Clubs Of Europe go for The Big One but this Wednesday is the only evening across two months of the calendar that our department could agree on for a night out. In the wake of Chelsea's defeat I withdrew my objections on footy grounds and, well, here we are.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Pinefox - as will all things at the moment this all depends on whether I can walk/use crutches properly by Wednesday. I would like to, though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Liverpool fans should be grateful to get a manager of the calibre of Curbishley. He's someone who's taken a club which were on the verge of extinction to the verge of Europe with a fraction of the money that say Keegan, Souness or yes, Houllier had.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

And his brother manages the Opera Babes and has taken them to the verge of the Operatic Champions League.

He has part of a finger missing too.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

That is because he keeps Paulo DiCanio in a cage and feeds him solely on raw meat in order to preserve that vital onfield aggression. He got too close once.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I understood it to be gangland related, but I like your version better.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Camacho was appointed Real Madrid manager a couple or three seasons ago but he resigned before the start of the season because they wouldn't let him have his own 'backroom boys'. I hope, I hope, I hope history repeats itself.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

That was during Sanz's time, though. Big ego clash. Perez is up for re-election shortly, hence crowd pleasing appointment.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

So: Weds pm: Euro final: Boyle in the Bull & Mouth. I will make it for 2nd half I hope.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm surprised no one's linked Ranieri with the job.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I cannae BELIEVE that Strachan is in the frame. Rather than the cage. The box. The wardrobe, that's going over the blue cliffs of Dover.

― the bluefox, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Benitez, apparently

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

If so, another few seasons of exciting football at Anfield, then.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I pretty much agree with everything Matt says on football. Apart from that bunch of poxy gay gimps he supports.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

that makes Spurs sound interesting tho, arf

sidenote: who on earth will employ Quieros?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

why would Strachan even consider Liverpool when Southampton seemed to be causing him enough stress as it was? perhaps we would get a COppell-esque scenario

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)
