I dont know if I remember this correctly but wasnt Keegan also trying to buy Del Piero, and the fall out from not being given the cash being one of the resons on the road to him leaving

Its a matter of opinion, which is why I said Shearer is "perhaps" our greatest ever player. Beardsley would come very close though 109836[/snapback] Only an opinion I know, but Tony Green was Peter Beardsley with Bellamys pace 109879[/snapback] I have to say Leazes is bang on the money again. From what I remember you can ad Chris Waddles body swerve into the picture aswell. The boy was genius

That really is an excellant post, and is captures exactly how I feel. It hope it shows that even if we disagree violently it is on more day to day issues and we do indeed share much the same bigger picture. It also seems you have articulated that for more than just myself I sometimes wonder if the horror of blowing the title caused such psychological damage and pain, it was truly the most horrible period like dying a slow tortured death, that we have never really recovered enough to be strong enough to win anything. That season truly as the best of times the worst of times-for a few months there I truly beleive we actually were the best team in the world. After the West Ham match I actually burst into tears when relaying the glory of the performance to mrs spongebob On a less pretentious note, I have also recently begun to wonder if sacking Daglish was a terrible mistake. It hurts me to say it as I loathed him with an intensity to match anybodies hatred of Souness, I despised him, and celebrated long and hard when he left. But... Solano was as good a buy as I can think of and Saha doesnt seem to be too sloppy either ... and it does take time to build a team. So maybe a mistake in hindsight. Thats not particularly a criticism of Shepherd, to be brutally honest I quite like the bloke If I had his money you wouldnt be able to see me for the cocaine and the prostitutes. But possibly you could argue he should have stuck by his man. I was 9 years old when we won the fairs cup and my perspective is that we are succesful now. Ive seen us lose 4 nil away at southend and exeter (retired soopafan) so seeing the stadium as it is, and being able to buy Micheal Oen makes us along way from failures in my book. I dont think Sheperd is above criticism, but I also think he is due a lot of credit but at the very top level the margins between winning and just missing out are very small.I think maybe Shepherd is just a little too much of a fan and or a populist and this may help prevent us taking the final step.

the voters ? poor comparison mind ...... 106720[/snapback] Aye fair enough...who then turn on her* as she is no longer perceived to be making the right decisions to take the country in the right direction and so she resigns. Whats the difference? You're seriously deluded. By the way re the question why I chose Liverpool as opposed to another club. They're a comparable size to us and they win stuff. Thats what I want us to do. I want us to be mre like them than Everton. You're content to just be 'better than Everton'. Which is part of the problem. *Thatcher/Major.....it doesnt really matter 106728[/snapback] So are the others I've mentioned, as i said all of them bar 2 have won cups since we have. So why Liverpool ? because they are the ONLY ones....as I said, raised expectations...football didn't start in 1992, and coming runners up 4 times since then without coming first doesn't make you shit or your board of directors either... You aren't the only one who wants to win stuff, we all do. We have got closer to it and competed for it more consistently than all the other clubs of a "comparable size" to us, or able to compete, and beat us having done it before. By picking only Liverpool you are effectively putting us in a 2 team league finishing bottom.... The boards and chairman of ALL those other big city clubs could challenge us if they wanted to, or ambitious enough, but the simple fact is, they aren't. 106788[/snapback] With regards to managerial appoinments: A good CV gives someone the 'right' to apply for a job. They then have an interview where they discuss their ideas and strategy, this is logical. I want to know what part of Dalgleish's interview Freddie liked, the bit about selling Ginola, Ferdinand and Asprilla? The bit about buying Anderson, Guivarch and Glass? The bit about investing in young players like Serrant and Hamilton? A good CV is fine but you need to know a mangers plans before you employ him. Common sense. 106881[/snapback] You do yourself no favours by taking the extreme examples to attempt to back it up mate. For starters, selling Arsprilla was a great idea, and that would sell him to me like a shot. As Ginola had clearly lost something at Newcastle, his future was clearly doubtful at the time. Ferdinand was sold on the back of the club going PLC, to raise the share price, Mark Cambridge of the grey suit in London being hugely influential, this is well discussed and a bad blow of course, but not the usual circumstances. If Dalglish had also told me he was going to buy Given, Solano, Speed, Hamman, Tomasson, Dabizas, and put the youth system back in place, i would have gave him the job, particularly on the back of his CV ? Wouldn't you ? [or anyone else ?] To be fair, Serrant and Glass were reasonable gambles they were players for small fees who may have made the step up, they certainly helped to get the reserve team settled down again as quickly as possible. BTW his CV beats all the current candidates hands down. So how can everyone on here say "they are good candidates" on the back of their CV ? 106909[/snapback] So how does panic sacking Dalglish four games into the season fit into your assesment of Shepherds policy of getting the right man for the job and backing him?

Roma Ultras are possibly the most notorious in Italy, I think their (supposed) political allegiance is to the far left though (not sure tbh), with Lazio having the reputation for their Ultras being Fascist. 106844[/snapback] Do they have to go to meetings? Ok, we'll be for flat rate taxes and Sunderland can be for a greater welfare state. 106846[/snapback] They're surprising well organised and their influence goes beyond the terraces. When Thuram was deciding where to go after Parma, Lazio were in the frame and he was met by some of their right-wing Ultras (I think this was arranged by the club, i.e. Lazio) who assured him that they would be happy to have him playing for them (how nice of them). Perhaps unsurprisingly he opted for Juve. 106849[/snapback] Enough of the calm discussion, shouldn't you two be arguing like little kids?

I hope it is true, purely from a "lets see LeazesMag justify that" point of view

Apparently these deafs weren't even at the game. Watched it on TV so shouldnt even be entitled to an opinion. The police should have slung them out on their ears tbh 102773[/snapback] lol top post on sooo many levels mate. 'deafs' 102777[/snapback] I just want to jump on the 'deafs' bandwagon

One thing is for sure, if Shepherd hadnt overseen the expansion of the ground then we wouldnt have seen 52000 turning out every week. One thing I would give him absolute praise for is the stadium.

Oh that's right lets all gang up on the stoopid australian that actually made an effort to help unlike you eurovision promise everything deliver nothing or you U2 are the most influencial band in the world, ever, fact, types! 99468[/snapback] Alreet then, here's one. Which Aussie tart tarnished her country's already battered reputation by squawking "Ooh Ahh... Just A Little Bit" for three minutes dressed in nothing but a handful of coins held together by string? 99540[/snapback] I thought it was a disgrace that the mighty Gina G didnt win that year. A little bit of my Eurovision love died at the injustice

Ludicrously enthusiastic and talk a lot of gibberish. It worked for Keegan and Robson, sounds like Ranieri is the natural man for the job to me

didnt deny the arms trading I notice

are there still such things? I thought they'd disapeared along with door to door salesmen and The Man From the Pru.......................... 99134[/snapback] Aha ..touched a nerve I reckon RobW is plainly an international arms trader racked with guilt and self loathing. I claim my five pounds

I give this post 10/10. Brilliant on so many levels

Probably The Stooges (Iggy was only a part of them) if you want to be pedantic. I didn't misunderstand your point but was pointing out that the questions answers which I gave are those recognised by the music "world" and not just the UK. And hence in many ways it is a trick and ambiguous question. The one fault in your arguement Bob about the Ramones being a "garage band" is in the title of their songs: Judy was a (what?) Sheena is a (what) rocker? They knew exactly what punk was and they were part of it. You didn't need a mohawk or to carve words in your chest to be punk. Have you ever seen the doco on the Ramones? 98273[/snapback] If you mean "End of the Century" yes Ive got it. I stand behind no man in my love of the Ramones. Again at the time The damned single was considered the first single. If you want to disagree from an international historical perspective feel free. The american term punk wasnt new............... Hold up what does it matter, I think we are probably just arguing semantics here. I am just going to have a quick moment of nostalgia instead. Ramones Saints Buzzcocks Undertones TVpersonalities the boys, the lurkers ...thems were the days

So what you're suffering from some sort of music elitism? Were the Clash really punk? They could play their instruments and their influences were r'n'b (not that shite we suffer now) and reggae/ska. Topper Headon also played in shite 60s bands and was 10 years older than those of the "punk" movement. How about the Buzzcocks? How about the Cure's 1st release? New Wave didn't exist as a musical movement in 1977. So was the music punk or a garage band. Punk wasn't just a UK thing as I said before. Know your product was the best song that the Saint wrote but I'm stranded was impressive as well. 98267[/snapback] No you misunderstand my point. It is impossible to look back and pinpoint the first "punk" release now. What would you choose MC5? Iggy and the Stooges? New York Dolls? etc. At the time the Damned single was considered the first release.

Maybe in the UK Bob but the rest of the world was already releasing punk records and it is a matter of months between them. I'm Stranded by the Saints was released in September 1976, New Rose by the Damned in October 1976 and The Ramones by the Ramones in April 1976 - Aust, UK & US. Then on top of that you had Radio Birdman who were 60's garage punk but are now regarded as a 70s punk band, who released their first piece of music in 1975! EPs weren't just 7" singles, they also came as 10" (JMC used to love to release them) and 12" 45rpms. If you look at it with CDs, they still release EPs and LPs, it is based on tracks not speed. I have a Procol Harum single that is a 2 track 7" 33rpm single. And what about the split EP 7" 45rpm single track one side and 2 tracks at 33rpm on the other. More than two tracks, less than 8. So what is it then an EP or a single? Lastly the Ramones LPs are an example of how track numbers define an LP, they had 12" 33rpm releases that ran for half the duration as other bands at the time and yet they were still LPs becasue they 12 plus tracks on them. 98258[/snapback] I am aware of the time of the dates of the releases, but they were not punk releases simply because punk at that stage was a british movement. The Ramones though a massive influence on punk and a band who were adopted by punk or more accurately new wave, saw themselves as a garage band. And lets face it the Saints were from Australia....... Having said that I loved the Saints Know your product.. what a song

Which city in which country are they in?

I'm not sure you can compare an "animal rights nutter" with your average Joe Muslim mind. Mind, many of the muslims that have since found to be terrorists who comitted mass murder appeared to be very nice chaps to those that knew them. 97885[/snapback] There is a nasty tendancy for some ( not you plainly) to lump all muslims in as fundamentalist maniacs

Personally speaking Ive had a lot more problems with animal rights nutters than any Muslims Ive met. In fact ive got 3 on the work force and nicer more hard working lads you would be pushed to meet.
