to be fair, i dont blame them for celebrating that one, if that was Rooney in a Chelsea shirt getting crunched by Vidic im sure it would have been a lauded occasion
Yea, but a facebook page?
It doesn't take much to start an email campaign in RAWK nowdays, facebook page is like starting a thread
There are about 1000 facebook pages about Justin Biebers hair. What's so wrong about them having one page for that?
Indeed... class post from the RAWKer. Pleasant surprise.
and good job stuffing the Rent Boys on Sunday (although I might be inclined to suggest it was more a case of Chelsea being shite, than Liverpool being good... still, well done)
Now with that momentary scouse love out of the way (don't worry, its not permanent) , lets get back to the business of showing those Bitter Blue bastards what a great club is all about.
The panic is rising in the Reina thread there at the moment. It's grown 20 pages in a day or so (I would post a link but my copy and paste function is on the blink). One guy has thrown in the towel already and is getting used to the fact they'll have a Dudek-like blunder machine in goal next season, whilst watching us win everything with Reina in nets.
From page 70ish onwards there's a growing resignation to the fact that it might actually happen amongst other posts of denial, conspiracy theories and self pity

Hmm...that's funny because there is about as much chance of me being United's new goalkeeper as there is of Liverpool selling Reina to us.
If SAF pays the release clause he would sign for us - thing is the reasons it might happen are more linked to us than them (SAF not doing business with Liverpool, us never spending that much on a player anymore). That's funny in itself - they're our bitch, because I think Reina would want to come, and as I've said, if the release clause is met, the owners would sell him to us. It's down to us if we want him or not
It's not up to Liverpool, though. Reina can go to any club he wants that's willing to pay the release clause.
And £20m is a steal for world-class, prem proven, 28-year old goalkeeper like Reina.
Even the scousers would be proud of that kind of steal.
One local journalist states there is a definate 20m release and it's taken as gospel, incredible.
I don't think I ever stated it was fact. I just said it would be steal.
Go figure.
I seriously doubt there is any release clause. That's not how football contracts work in the UK. Its probably some journo talking out of his arse again.
Saw in the Reina thread that both Tony Evans and Tony Barrett (Times footballer editor and writer respectively) have said it exists.
I know they are only journalists, but it's not like F365 came up with this or something.
Why is that probable? If there weren't any such release clause, why wouldn't LFC quash the rumor and say "there's no release clause"? Also, football contracts work however the parties who enter into the contract write them up. If a footballer gets a clause saying their must be a wedge of Cotswold cheese on clubhouse buffets or his salary goes up inserted into the contract, then that's how the contract works, regardless of how unusual that clause might be.

The majority of them have been alright in their Prem League Fixtures thread this weekend. It's getting to the point that many of them are actually praising us and not even wanting other teams to beat us. I think that they've given up on the 19th apart from wishing Arsenal all the luck in the world so that they might stop us rather than wishing for other teams to beat us directly. They now seem to be concentrating their hopes more on trying to get 4th, which will not happen, but they want Chelsea, Spurs, and City to lose all of the time. They've found their level, fighting for 6th.
to be fair Crouch scored some nice ones, this against Galatasaray (although it's more of a scissor kick than overhead:And another one against Bolton, but neither one came close to this one by Rooney when you look at the height of it, sheer power and trajectory. It was just beautiful. And let's not talk about the occasion...
...
He has a point.
A shite one, Bergies post above your explains why.
Not really. None of Crouch's goals were scored with as much power and from the same height as Rooney's. Nowhere near as much skill involved in a lot of his, which were mainly scissor kicks.
After tonight's thrilling 0-0 result with Sparta:
Christ on a bike!
That has to be a wind up - I didn't watch the game, such was the tedium attached to it, but from what I've heard, it was dire.

I flicked it on with 15 minutes to go and some fans had thrown flares onto the pitch, meaning play had to be stopped due to smoke. I suppose that was them passing their own judgement.
Nobody does a shit boring match like Liverpool. 3 centre-backs against a shite side from Prague. Long live the King.

That quote Plan M posted was like something from The Big Sam spoof Twitter.
Liverpool have never been that exciting to watch, even when they were at their most recent peak in '09. At home, they're alright, but away from home, it is pretty boring to watch. Some call it a mature away performance, but sometimes it does go too far.
King Kenny has never won a European away game as manager.
Oh, they were in the early and mid eighties.
They were bloody awful tonight, Ngog is the worst player Liverpool have ever played up front.
Well, that would be a bit difficult really. How many has he been manager in?
Yes, well, I wasn't around to see it. Apparently they were magnificent, but Dalglish was on the other side of the line then!
You obviously appreciate the art of the pass-back pick up, they should have never changed that rule.
