From the Guardian's comments page. re a preview article on how LFC might get on this season;

 

Liver Bird..(related to the sub species the Gooner Bird). Recognized by their bright red plumage, late summer strutting display and distinctive call. ( Arr ey arr ey arr ey). Increasingly, an autumn/winter visitor from Scandanavia, the Far East and the South of England. As with red squirrels, the foreign visitors now seriously outnumber the native north west species. Begins its annual strutting ritual in August which leaves the Liver Bird particularly vulnerable to predators. Particularly the dominant Red Manxus and its traditional enemy, The Blue Kite with whom it shares the same territory. Another sub species, the North Eastern Magpie was once known to share similar characteristics to the Liver Bird but after a disastrous season in 2010, the magpie’s character appears to have undergone a transformation and it now generally keeps it’s pink head buried in the sand and avoids contact with other more aggressive species like the Red Striped Makem.

The Liver Bird is now a protected species and in common with the Puffin, is well loved by the public for its clownish behaviour and eccentric strutting ritual. The Liver Bird nests on the top of tall buildings close to the sea, although unlike another high nesting bird, the jackdaw, it is highly sensitive and wary of silver objects and avoids collecting them

 

So thats how we're perceived now?.....

I was thinking of a longish post but realised I didn't need one to answer that.

 

No, no it's not.

That's basically how Liverpool perceive themselves tbh. "well loved"

'protected species' isn't far wrong. We were a successful club once as well, don't see half of our ex-players giving our club sympathetic media exposure out of proportion to other fans interest.

Just read this about Carroll in an article on Bale and spat water on my keyboard :

 

 

 

The key element here is the way Bale plays football, specifically his basic Britishness. British players, in particular the explosively physical kind – with apologies to John Charles and certain glowering centre-forwards of the 1980s – have rarely succeeded abroad. Not that Bale is best described as a typical British player: he's far too surgically effective for that. Plus he's not explosive in the manner of, say, Andy Carroll, the old-school cider-soaked heavy metal-style frontman, his 90 minutes spent snorting, flailing air-guitaring and generally transforming his immediate environment into a roving mosh pit.

Interesting read on the Everton approach to scouting/buying under Moyes...

Does make you wonder about us. Whatever positives come from divorcing the manager from identifying the targets, it's just fundamentally wrong that he has no say on how to shape his own team. It's unimaginable Moyes would be left in our current striker situation. He was thinking 3 seasons ahead... We're just trying to correct mistakes from previous windows.
