Poor Phil Fffompson. Those were a black few months.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I think next year's Pinefox football thread should be: Everton and Spurs will be relegated 2004-2005

Are you trying it, Jerry? I think Jerry's trying it. Don't try it. Just don't. DO. NOT. TRY. IT.

Prediction : O'Neill in. Will bring H. Larson.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:13 (nineteen years ago) link

O'Neill might take a break from top-class football - he's going to Spurs!

If he left, would Moyes be temptable? Being an Celt and all that?

I've said it before - if hew goes, put money on them for the league.

I think they main problem with Curbishley is that his name sounds too parochial and not 'top flight' enough. He should rechristen himself Alain Curbishlé.

and his Gallic supporting team, Mervyn Jour and Stephan Greet.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:50 (nineteen years ago) link

This is true, N. Liverpool need to offload some of their meat'n'potatoes-sounding players too. Replace Owen, Gerrard and Murphy with Kyzanzi, Elbraunoisseiger and Obansanjo-Sobansanjo.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:51 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

er, Michel. Mikkel would be Danish?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:58 (nineteen years ago) link

So - Houllier is going? Has gone?

It's news to me, though old news.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:00 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Real Madrid manager Carlos Q has just been sacked.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:07 (nineteen years ago) link

"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.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:08 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:11 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Jones is OTM.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:14 (nineteen years ago) link

'I heard'

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― the finefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Nothing befits the man as his passing

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:39 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:51 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Jose Antonio Camacho appointed Real Madrid manager.

― de, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Calamacho!!!!

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― the pinefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:57 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

I hear Jim Smith is available.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:02 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

Good rapper, though.

x-post.

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:35 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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