[libraguy75]

Heh guys.....

YNWA EVER

Really really hope we win the league real soon. Gerrard is what, 27 years old already? He has probably only a couple of great years left in Pool and it would be so sad it one of our greatest ever retires without a league title...
YNWA!

[Xgenre]

Yeah, it's our time to be hip. With world-class signings and attractive football, we will soon see our share of fair-weather fans. Those guys who support different teams in different years will soon join us and pretend they are hard-core fans. (If it's not some ignorant busty babe, all else probably not welcomed.)

With such strong financial backing, it may be unsettling for the current team as some players will be sold to make space for future 'world-class' players. Who do you think will go? Crouch, Pennant, Fowler, Zenden, Dudek, Hyypia, Kewell? Riise?

Same planet lah, but different viewpoints only. OK to have different views wat.

I didn't say Rafa talk rubbish lah. Like I say b4 I respect him. Just dat I feel he shd not have said wat he said.

And yes, being a true blue patriotic Sillyporean, I was offended by that Little Red Dot comment. If you are not offended by that comment, it doesn't mean you are not patriotic mah. You just have different level of tolerance. Nothing wrong with dat.

Cheers

One throwaway comment doesn't make or break him. In any case, it's only true that Evershite are shite.

I also say so too. Let's move on.

Cheers

IMHO,

Dudek for sure. But got takers or not?

Zenden quite likely cos he is always injured, and we have other alternatives esp with the input of that South American chap (always got problem with his name) who recently just said he was happy he joined LFC and he is now a Red Devil (duh!!!)

Hyypia still got some value, esp if Agger is still finding his feet.

Fowler highly likely esp if Rafa managed to get the young Torres in.

Crouch, Pennant, Riise, Kewell -- hope they stay. We haven't seen the best of Pennant and Kewell yet. Riise is very useful down the left and we certainly could use his high energy and commitment.

Cheers

Let's leave patriotism out of the equation ... 'coz it's another can of worms.
You can be offended by "little red dot" but you can't dispute what people are saying ... ie, you can't say these people are "belittling your country", 'coz 8 out of 10 maps you pick up, you'll only be able to point out Sillypore as THAT little red dot. That's my point ... the blue lot from across the Mersey can be upset, but not at Rafa (or anybody else who call them a small club) simply becoz they are one!!

No worries, I see this as friendly banter ... we'll still never walk alone, right??

Free transfer lor ... what to do??

I've never liked this guy ... always thought Rafa bought him as our 4th choice (now that the Red Devils aspirant is here, he's dropped even down to 5th choice), simply becoz Rafa really thinks our pool of central midfielders are very very good. I know this is argumentative but he could only play 3 at most (if all were fit), even after switching to play 3-5-2.

I dun think Agger is still finding his feet ... in fact, whenever we're playng pacy strikers (which is like 80% of the time in the EPL), Rafa's elected to leave Hyypia on the bench ... I mean, just last weekend, he's even played Finnan in that 3-men defence ahead of Hyypia.
IMHO, I think Rafa will accord Hyypia the respect for him to play out his contract & retire ... but whether Hyypia is ready to hang up his boots at the very top, that's another story.

Same deal for Fowler ...
I dunno if Torres is really what we want or need ... in comparison, I think Villa should be a more prioritised buy. But then again, I'm not the one paid millions to make those decisions.

Alamak, my England really quite jia-lat hor .....

Just to clarify -- when I said "You mean just becos you love LFC, and the manager talk rubbish, you must clap hand ...", I meant it to mean any manager, not Rafa per-se. The operative word here is "the", not a specific manager like Rafa. And I meant it when I said I did not say Rafa was speaking rubbish, cos I have never said he was speaking rubbish at all. So, I am not a certain Mr Chee or Gomez ...... (dun wish to go into that Gomez thing lah, not very nice cos the "L***" word will come out)

Well, the way you said it, you seem to think that our southern neighbour was refering to us "Little Red Dot" in the physical sense. Yes, we are just a dot on the map, no question about that. But you have missed the underlying message they are putting across. I am not offended becos they say we are small in size (what is there to be offended about?), I was offended by what they are "actually" saying (or not saying). Just like Rafa's "smallness" thinggy. It was not about the size. The Blue half are not offended by that. Dun insult them like dat lah.

No worries, I see this as friendly banter ... we'll still never walk alone, right??[/QUOTE]

No problem. Me not offended at all. I always feel it is good to share opinions, esp about things we are passionate about. This way we can see things from different perspective mah.

Cheers

[canthaveenuf]

I am those rather sentimental type wan ....

Quite a pity to see Dudek, Zenden leave, even if they are surplus to requirements. After all, Dudek helped us with that CL cup last time. Zenden well, pretty hardworking chap, just dat he always running around too much like a headless chicken.

Cheers

Abit sad to see anfield becoming history. Will save up to visit the KOP before it tear down.

indeed it's sad to see Anfield going into history of liverpool.
but will be looking forward to the state of the art stadium.
was discussing with my kakis, even though Gillett Jr & Hicks are not as rich as DIC, but Gillett Jr & Hicks have the passion for LFC.
lets hope Liverpool will achieve greater heights!
and a WIN for tonight's match against newcastle

[LSB_Fan]

I also sentimental... really sad to see the end of Anfield ... sigh

Also, the end of an era with Dudek, Hyppia and Fowler on their last legs...

But with the rumored 100m pound transfer, we need more good signings, Looking at the talent pool... world class players in Liverpool include Reina, Carra, Gerard, Sissoko, Kuyt, Garcia

The rest are average or maybe on their best day... good, but we need better to challenge Chelsea, and Man Utd...

Some promising strikers I am sure Rafa will be looking at would include Huntelar, Villa and Torres ... but I feel Torres is overrated...

Flank players... maybe some one like Lennon or Alves...

But would love to have Owen back where he belongs hehehe

Hi KLK,

I didn't know that you are a Reds supporter as well ...perhaps when we meet up, we will talk about Liverpool rather than spa-pool!

Cheers. Is the TCSS in KL still on?

[NikonMan69]

With new found wealth/assets, surely LFC can provide massage and extra services for the players?
