I deleted that very point before posting so that I look like a New Man.

I am referring to Steve Bruce of course.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Steve Bruce is no lady, have you seen her table manners? shocking.

I would big up Birmingham more, if I didn't really dislike Brucey

― chris (chris), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:11 (nineteen years ago) link

can't remember which match it was, but you could clearly hear the opposing fans chanting:

FAT GEORDIE BASTARD, HE'S JUST A FAT GEORDIE BASTARD

at mrs bruce, which made me chuckle...

Birmingham are a staggeringly boring team to watch, Forssell or no Forssell. Quite how he manages to score so often given how few chances his team create is amazing.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:17 (nineteen years ago) link

the best thing is we know that's to the tune of 'Guantanamera' (sp.) without you saying

(x-post)

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:18 (nineteen years ago) link

i was going to put "to guantanemera" but thought it was so obvious :)

PJ, I didn't see Football Focus with Claudio. This was one of 5Live's correspondents reporting what Abramovich had said to someone. That he knew that you couldn't win a championship with a team that had just been thrown together, and that Ranieri was just there in a holding role till he could get the manager he wanted to win it for him in the second season. So if they don't win next year, then yes, disappointment.

Birmingham provided my favourite moment of the season when David Dunn tried one of those kick behind the other leg showboats and fell over. That's up there with the Newcastle free kick from a few years back when they all ran off and forgot about the ball.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:31 (nineteen years ago) link

and, of course, matt mattias (sp?) flooring robbie savage...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Robbie Savage is a cunt. I fucking hate that cunt Robbie Savage.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Ray Mathias? but yes that was very funny, especially as that dumb sack of dung got up looking to retaliate.

― chris (chris), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

The first part of Abramovich's comments tally with Ranieri on Football Focus before the start of the season, the second part sounds as if it's all his own work.

My admiration for Birmingham is based solely on league placing and my natural belief that they are always shit. I don't like Robbie Savage either, but I think that's part of his job, to be as much of a cunt as possible.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 14 May 2004 08:50 (nineteen years ago) link

ILX is so much BETTER since PJM appeared.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 14 May 2004 10:30 (nineteen years ago) link

if Savage had short hair people wouldn't be half as mean to him

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 14 May 2004 10:34 (nineteen years ago) link

It really was a disappointing season for the blues. Yet Moyes has signed a new contract, I think?

Meanwhile Keegan gives 2 years' notice to quit.

― the bluefox, Tuesday, 18 May 2004 13:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Everton bid £7m for Alan Smith. Everton!

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 10:58 (nineteen years ago) link

You've got to wonder where the money's coming from or rather, who we're selling. Maybe Moyes think it's like eBay and he won't necessarily have to pay his maximum bid, just be the highest.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I read yesterday that Moyes was sulking cos he only had 1.5m to spend this summer!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:10 (nineteen years ago) link

eBay transfer market now!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Somebody should do an Alan Smith auction on eBay. Buyer must collect, will accept paypal, no timewasters....

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:16 (nineteen years ago) link

We must be selling Radz for 5.5 then. Joe Cole on loan was another Goodison rumour. After the shocking season we've just had who would want to come?

Over the park: Gerrard making grumbling noises and Heskey gone. Thoughts, Red people?

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Radzinski £5.5m? Never! End of last season that might have been feasible. I hate to say it, but considering Moyes was disappointed with the £1.5m budget he had, the young lad may be on his way.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Houllier off within a few days? I am now believing the hype.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:46 (nineteen years ago) link

so if hou goes and then gerrard and owen go too, what exactly is left in the red side?

riise (what happened to him this season, he was rather anonymous i thought), murphy and kewell i suppose, but not exactly championship winning is it?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Jamie Carragher - international warrior!

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I think Gerrard and Owen are probably more likely to stay if GH leaves. And I think investors are more likely to give LFC £££s if GH leaves, too. It's very sad.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 20 May 2004 11:58 (nineteen years ago) link

fite appparently both Everton and Liverpool want Alan Smith.

However according to Alan Smith's agent he wants a move to Man Ure [so he can be a posing big time charlie]

Man Ure have only bid 5 million?

Therefore for Leeds United fans this a double whammy: player goes to hated rivals and they get screwed in the transfer market.

by the way Houllier deserves the sack, Liverpool need a fresh start. i hope the board has the guts to act now and not waste another year of underachievement.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I think DJM could be the new Darren Tackle.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:03 (nineteen years ago) link

So Liverpool pay the biggest total for a player in their history (a player earmarked by Houllier) and then sack him?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:09 (nineteen years ago) link

If only Everton had an immensely valuable asset they could offload for several times the sum they are bidding for Smith. *sigh*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I did allude to him above.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:11 (nineteen years ago) link

So we're agreed, Kevin Kilbane is on his way out then?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Madrid bound.

GALACTICO!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think Everton have beaten Liverpool in a race to sign a name player since the '60s. Possibly Howard Kendall from Preston. Wily old Catterick.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:29 (nineteen years ago) link

There's no way Gerrard or Owen will go, I reckon. And as others have said, if Houllier goes this is even more certain. I feel sorry for GH but I hope he goes now.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:27 (nineteen years ago) link

If Liverpool sign Joey Barton off us, then I will hate them more than I normally dislike them for being scouse.

― ___ (___), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Cue scousers robbing arf jokes by Kelvin.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

B-b-but Joey Barton is scouse too! As I have said elsewhere, it is his destiny to become the third pin in the great Huytonian LFC triumvirate.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I have a feeling in my waters about Shaun Wright-Phillips as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

In English Nipper pls!

(robbing scousers = lfc is they take Barton etc)

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Au revoir, Gerard

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:13 (nineteen years ago) link

ta ta Gerard, goodbye sweet Emile - very sad.

We need to continue with the signing of Cisse, it's imperative. I'd rather we signed SWP than Barton to be honest.

O'neill should be new manager, not Curbs or Mclaren.

Apparently Kenwright is looking for 10 mil of money from "new loans (eek!!!), a new Thai sponsor (Merseyside to be renamed New Siam?) and some re-mortgages of his properties"

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i feel sorry for HOullier, why does it always happen just after they tell the press they're 100% confident they will be in charge next season?? the inevitability of it all is frustrating (i would rather Houllier had been more successful with the club)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Liverpool Won't Win The Premiership 2004-2005?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:39 (nineteen years ago) link

That BBC report doesn't mention Martin O'Neill. Has he now been ruled out for some reason?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Celtic board is trying to lock him in a cupboard I think.

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

What about Larsson as manager - he's available.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:47 (nineteen years ago) link

O'Neil wants a break away from football? Don't believe it myself.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:49 (nineteen years ago) link
