I know I might sound ridiculous here, seeing that Liverpool have won 18 league titles, but they're not a massive club. I just don't see them as such. When I was growing up they were an unbelievably successful club, but they're no different to us in terms of infrastructure in many ways, when you look at the bricks and mortar, we have a much bigger local fanbase which has been proven loads of times. What I'm saying is he'll win fuck all at Liverpool. If he leaves he should go to a club who are absolutely massive because he's good enough. Man Utd, Milan, Bayern Munich or the big two in Spain, he really could play there, not some shitey Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Roma type also ran. He might as weel stay here.

I tell you an even more depressing stat, we've scored 4 goals in 10 away games under "Pards" what a massive difference he's made eh? 4FS.

I didn't know you cared so much xxxxx I've had lots of surrrcial club beer too today like. So anyway if am the Durham, who are yee like Mike Parry? Toontastic is better than twitter, but I've got loads of people on my twitter who I know personally, I tweet about 20 times a day, I look at it like sending a text that everyone can see, and we all send more than 20 texts a day. And about 10 posts a day on toontastic!!!! No probs if thats your thing these days then fine, but you used to be a big hitter on here. To be honest, there's a few posters who are getting on my tits with the same cycle of pish every day, I'm bored of it, and I bet you are as well sometimes, am sure you know the ones I'm referring too.

He's far better than what we have.

Eh? Twitter should be about hearing stuff that you didnt know about before its on the news , not randoms playing upto an audience of equal randoms. Just my two penneth. Does it make your life worse? Besides it allows you to interact with journo's and stars. Me and Steve Brenner from the sun have a row once a week, same with me and Marcotti who has 75000 followers, it's good crack. Very narrow minded view of twitter you hold CT. Besides regarding news, the news usually goes on twitter before it's on "the news", if you add the right sources. Telegraph is the best link on twitter imo.

Someones been abusing Danny Simpson after today and he's not happy. Not guilty this time.

Eh?

If yous have twitter, football quiz on there @ 9pm 10a prize money for the winner.

Keegan saying he's heard Tiote's away noo I fuckin hate Ashley we should be more than big enough to keep these players

Which Shola turns up is the pivotal factor in this game, if it's the real Shola we're fucked, if it's the five times a year Shola, it could be a good day.

Howaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!! From being in a state of hungover pessimism, see our team sheet there has given me new hope. Our midfield IS BETTER than their's don't care what anyone says it is. We have a chance today, especially with it being a 12 o'clock kick off. The dippers will be wrecked, shite atmosphere apart from the 3,300 Newcastle fans in the Anfield Road End. 0-1. Howay. What we need to do is get hold of it in the first 5 mins, remember when we played Arsenal, first 15 minutes Arsenal didn't get a kick, just slow tempo knock it about, we're better footballers than them in midfield, that's not being deluded neither.

If you chuck 1000 darts at a black board you'll get a treble twenty at some point. You're being hugely generous about him. People say Ginola's best 6 month were his first and it was down hill after that, he was still good in 96/97, when Dalglish came in Ginola's form completely nose dived. His body language before that UEFA Cup QF against Monaco said it all, and that was down to Dalglish, his tactics, and the fact he's a prick. I remember we played Forest in the Cup with largely the same team that beat Man Utd 5-0, three or four month earlier, Forest were bottom of the league, and we had two attacks all game and lost 1-2. Tactically, impact wise, strategically, direction wise, from where we were he was THE WORST manager we've ever had. I don't know how anyone could've took us further back than he did in such a short space of time.

It's a struggle to decide whose drink induced posts make less sense, Stevies or CT's Show me an example of a drink induced post by me please! Apart from "Thems".

This is totally the court I'm in. And for starters he wasn't Keegan. I don't care how rational you claim you are, the loss of KK was horrible to take and I don't think any manager would have been up to the same standard in most people's eyes (yes, even SBR). Fact is we had become a PLC and the rules changed - it's partly why Keegan wanted out, he knew what was around the corner. I know for a fact Dalglish didn't want to sell Ferdinand but the club told him the Shearer money had to be repaid and that he was on his way. The deal to sell Lee Clark to Sunderland was completed by Keegan as well I'm led to believe (KK managed to delay the deal by 6 months though). Worth noting too that despite his many years as a manager, his 18 months at SJP amount to the only time he managed a club that wasn't in private ownership. As FFS said in his interview with Talksport, Keegan cited the PLC as a reason for leaving in January 2007, and in Shepherd's words "it was an excuse as it wouldn't have made any difference". The fact is it had little difference in effecting the resources Dalglish had to do his job so I feel that's irrelevant. He spent a lot of money and signed a lot of duds, the Ferdinand thing, if he'd have dug his heels in he could've kept him but £6m for a 30 year old seemed like good business anyway, and given his injuries at Tottenham I'd say it probably was even now. The PLC is an irrelevance in this argument about what an absolute disaster of a bloke, that cunt was for this club.

You're just an internet hardman trying to uphold an image!

Without any doubt the 80's was the best music decade, and I'm a 90's kidda really. I loved the 90's too, but far more classics in the 80's. As kids everyone used to stop playing in the streets when TOTP came on, it was like a highlight of the week on a Thursder neet at hapast 7.

I get frustrated at these threads, I make points, and cunts just ignore them even though am right.

All NE's that don't start with 3 are fine One thing I didn't mention, if it is £5 billion, and I knew it wasn't 10's of millions as NJS said, put this in to perspective. The cut backs in our country, where the effects haven't fully hit home yet, and will cost tens of thousands of jobs, are only saving 6 billion. One billion more than we've sacrificed for this on this scandalous day. It's actually obscene. All of this bollocks about how much the money the Royal Family bring in to the country via tourism, as Ketsbaia said on twitter, how the fuck do you calculate that?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/roy...conomy-5bn.html There ye are. £5 billion. Fucking obscene. The cut backs are only going to save £6 billion. Lets all live in fluffy cloud cuckoo land where everythings pink, and farts smell of CK1. Ah I forgot anyone who looks at this negatively is only do it for a hardman image. Disgraceful.

Completely agree, Carroll is blameless almost in this, I've had this row with loads of people, I mean fucking hell the helicopter engine was already running, there's no way the club did enough to keep him, they wanted the money and any idiot should be able to see through Pardew's propaganda every time the subject is breached. I hope Dalglish gets more abuse than Michael Owen though. Then why did he hand in a transfer request? As Chez has explained he was put in an impossible position. He went to great lengths to tell the Chronicle and Steve Wraith that his hand was being forced, coupled with the fact he's a young hugely impressionable lad, arguably with a low IQ, his agents in his ear, the club aren't playing ball, they have a helicopter waiting for him, I wouldn't feel wanted neither. The club had the transfer request written ready for him to sign, I firmly believe that. The contradictions in story during the day even from David Craig being fed bollocks should've shown you what was going on, and regardless what you believe this quote by the idiot that is Llambias 6 weeks after the transfer deadline was closed and Carroll was gone should tell you everything.... An admittance that the objective throughout the month was to sell him. Not wanted, helicopter waiting, thick, agent in his lug, upset, no room to negotiate, and I believe genuinely wanted to stay, but was forced in to a corner where there was only one solution.

It's going to generate 107m for the economy. not a bad return on 25m. in fact. it's about the best return on tax money one could ask for. An extra public holiday costs the economy 10s of millions - I'd be astounded if the overall balance was positive. 100s of millions more like, the point you make is what I was going to say however. The economy has had a days business taken from it. There are what, about 230 working days in a year. So putting it simplistically you are removing 1/230th of the days where business can take place in the country. You might think so what. The economy is worth about £2,000,000,000,000 so taking 1/230th from that is well, well, well in to the hundreds of millions of pounds. As for CT's comments about people who view today's events negatively as wanting to create some sort of image, absolute bollocks. There are many millions of people who think this isn't something of benefit for the country. Tell that to hospital wards who could've done with this outrageous funding. We're talking about one of the wealthiest families in the world, WHY THE FUCK should we pay for it. It's 2011 not 1901.
