Optimistic Nut

Aye, I like it. Just wanted to post a bit of the Red Baron.

"Ze Germon sense of ze humour ist unbearabol".

Souness is a Liverpool legend so I doubt they hate him. If Shearer became Newcastle manager and made a pigs ear of things (which could happen), would all Newcastle fans hate him?

All these trips to Turkey & Spain recently, I'm sure Shepherd has ate many a pie in the sky.

Because.

Group A Bayern Munich Juventus Club Bruges Rapid Vienna Group B Arsenal Ajax Sparta Prague FC Thun Group C Barcelona Panathinaikos Werder Bremen Udinese Group D Manchester United Villareal Lille Benfica Group E AC Milan PSV Eindhoven Schalke Fenerbahce Group F Real Madrid Lyon Olympiakos Rosenborg Group G Liverpool Chelsea Anderlecht Real Betis Group H Inter Porto Rangers Artmedia Bratislava

Liverpool have Chelsea!!!

No doubt someone on there saw the "Luque to sign" thread, and put it on there.

But they'd still beat any Souness team...

xxxxxxx look a strong outfit this year, but you can never rule out xxxxxxx, xxxxxxx, xxxxxxx & xxxxxxx. However, my tip is xxxxxxx.

I counted 17 "erms" from Stephen Gerrard in 90 seconds.

No quotes from the player, just "Teletext understands that..."

The awards seem a bit of a farce. Ex-European legend with limited English coming onto the stage to read out the winner, being interupted by Jim Rosenthal to read the three nominations off his little piece of paper.

I can't find anything on nufc.com about it.

I'd be happy if we screwed Depor over and signed Luque AND Viduka. A front three of Viduka with Luque & Dyer just off him looks strong IMO.

George Burley has took over a club on the verge of breaking up the Old Firm for the first time since man invented the wheel...why would he give that chance up?

Yer what? Are you saying Dowie isn't realistic? 18177[/snapback] I meant when you listed Hitzfeld & O'Neill. I just plumped for choice number 57 straight away.

I thought we were going for realistic targets, Skol. In that case, Paul Le Guen or Didier Deschamps.

Nowt on AS, Marca, Sky Sports, etc. Bollocks I reckon.

My honest opinion is that he'll bring in Keegan to watch over Shearer.

According to Teletext, it's Real Madrid who ruled out any loan deal for Owen, not us.

While on Saturday "captain" Shearer seemed to blame everyone but himself when he said "we lacked quile" rather saying we need a goalscorer, Boumsong came out with a true captain comment once more last night... "We have to roll our sleeves up and do much better. We have to stay together and keep our confidence. If we lose our confidence, then we will struggle". It'll obviously take a helluva lot more than that to sort us out, but at least he's saying the right things.

Boumsong average! Heard it all now. This is the same man who the French are raving about everytime he pulls on a France shirt.

But if we only went for him on Loan, don't you think it'd be a certainty Liverpool would do the same? At least by offering £18m, Liverpool have to do the hard work because no way would Real Madrid accept a loan deal when they have £18m on the table.
