Hi, I went by the name of hedg

Was a few months before the Dunn one I think.
-
Didn't say he's any good, but well known in European football.
-
I actually believe the club is a more attractive proposition for top foreign coaches now, than it was 15 months ago. Coaches looking in this time last year would have seen one or two good players, and a bunch of English youngsters they hadn't heard of. Now though, they see Boumsong, Babayaro, Luque, Emre, Parker, Solano & Owen, who are well-known in European football.

Ravenelli 2001-2 season??? *EDIT* Just remembered he saved a penalty from David Dunn at the start of the 2003-4 season, but he scored from the rebound. Can't remember one since.
-
Half-time, Elliott the scorer, but Shay has saved a penalty (great save), and they'd easily be 3 or 4 down by now if it hadn't been for Given.
-
He's spent £40m+, and has managed to take Liverpool below a Rooney-less Everton, and now into a 5th-8th place team. 43124[/snapback] How can they be below the "Scouse Mackems" when Everton are bottom of the league? 43794[/snapback] Sorry, I meant last season.

Exactly. Chopra's injured, Owen is always one sprint away from pinging his hamstring, and Shearer's knees & back are at breaking point. Sure, let go our only striker who you could probably expect 40 games a season from.

I think it's real. Love the "who's Tony Adams?"

This is fecking hillarious. http://media.putfile.com/THEGARYNEVILLECONVERSATION

Well I haven't got a fecking clue how this league system works. There was a group of 4 teams, in one group (who played each other twice), and a group of 14 in the other (who played each other once). The top two in those two groups (I finished 3rd), went into a Semi Final for something (don't know what), and I'm in a separate league. Any help?!
-
47 La Liga goals in 99 appearances. He can be as over-rated as he likes, I would pay £20m+ plus for him still.

Just started a new game as Santo Angelo of the Brazilian National Third Division Group Stages. Running the Brazilian, Spanish & English Leagues.

Name = Chris Billany Age = 21 Height = 197cm Position = GK Number = 1
-
Or go berserk, and go back with the £24m for Torres!
-
I think Cisse is a fantastic player. But Anelka is proven class at this level and showed in the summer he'd be willing to come to us.
-
That's the difference Kenny couldn't recognise a player, hence he bought Maric! Keegan could but his tactical ineptness meant he didn't know how to use a player of this limitless ability. (Tino not Maric obviously) 43314[/snapback] Funny I always thought Maric was signed by Gullit while Solano was spotted by Dalglish ...who also signed the likes of Guivarse, Andersson and Paul Dalglish... 43372[/snapback] As well as Given, Dabizas, Speed & Hamann.
-
let me remind you, they did not lose out on Owen. They didnt want him as he does not fit the system Rafa prefers. 43203[/snapback] Nope, they wanted him alright. 43205[/snapback] They tried flogging Cisse to us so they could afford the Owen fee. It would be hillarious if they ended up as strike-partners here in 3 months time.

Was funny when Souness lunged in for a tackle and missed, hearing Shearer shout from the touchline "stay on your feet".

I can remember in the 1996-7 season a game at St James' against Arsenal. Asprilla was walking from an offside position (he must have been at least 15 yards beyond the last man), and the ball was played over the top for Shearer to chase with Adams. The ball went near Tino, who jumped over the ball so not to touch it, and Shearer raced onto it and was brought down by Adams who was sent-off. I couldn't understand how on earth the referee felt Tino wasn't interfering with play when both Shearer & Adams literally had to round around him to get to the ball!

He's a f**king mercenary. One and a half games with us, the club who plucked him from the suburbs of LA, and he pisses off to Madrid. If we play them in the Champions League, I for one will boo him.
-
Problem is, he was still breaking the "gaining an unfair advantage" law. Exactly like when everyone in the press were saying Kluivert's against Liverpool last season shouldn't have stood.
