Pier Red

another theory.... the squad have taken to heart the message about not celebrating goals (so much so that they decided not to score any!)

George Best....

Has anybody else realised that if it hadn't changed from 2 points for a win to 3 points then it would be City 64 points, LFC 65 points. We've been using the wrong system for the last 38 years!

Should get the ballon d'or - Ronaldo wasn't up to much!

i know the problem.... the Pope didn't die!

My first memory of seeing the Saint was at Plymouth in the last season in the second division (even earlier than Murph!). The match was in the Easter Holidays and we were visiting my Mum's family in Devon. I've still got the ticket stub. My uncle (a Plymouth fan) bought the tickets and we were in the stands! I must admit that I was a Roger Hunt fan (rather than Ian StJohn) at the time (sorry, DH). Yes, I'm expecting grief for my low amount of posts but hey, I'm old! I do follow the posts on here with interest (and occasional incredulity!) And yes I was at every home match (Anny Road End) from when I was 14 (1966) to 18, and then when I was at home until 1974, and quite a few aways (including Wembley 71, bloody Charlie George, never mind Peter Storey playing just long enough to clog before getting substituted and 1974, much happier!) but I'd drifted south to get a degree and then a job. I do get to see the reds when I can now but not often except on tv - I agree it would be great to have pay at the turnstile. we always got there early to make sure we got in and the atmosphere started earlier as a result.... the ramblings of an old red.....

Maybe Mr Makaveli is actually an ITK - he just doesn't know the difference between re-sign and resign!!

So, what happened to Toni? or was he surrounded by empty seats!!

I might be putting two and two together and making twenty two but I think whoever buys Gillet’s debt from Springfield is the key to all this. Why would Sheik Mo pay £500m when he could get “part” for $75m if he buys the debt? (depending on how big the part is) An alternative scary scenario is that Hicks pays the $75m to get the chance of full control….especially if he can veto who gets Gillet’s shares if he defaults Hope it all gets resolved soon though - I ought to be thinking about the game tonight not ownership issues!

time for a song... time for a double entendre.... Only one 'F' in Fernando There's only one effin Fernando! etc etc

Donated.

Echo! not sure how it posted twice...

For Porto! Sorry if this has already been mentioned but it added to my enjoyment tonight!

I saw this earlier on newsnow (although it is from tribal football). Still lots of different rumours to choose from if not investors! link: http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=14550 Liverpool refused to confirm or deny reports that a Co Down property tycoon is planning to invest in the club. Downpatrick man John Miskelly is reportedly considering taking a share in the five-time European champions as they muster finances to build a new stadium. With a reported worth of at least ?68m, Mr Miskelly is among the wealthiest people in Ireland and has a box at Anfield. "He's very discreet, but he's also very down-to-earth," said a friend. "He's someone who very much takes the long view on investment." Mr Miskelly could not be reached for comment about the Liverpool reports and the football club refused to comment. A Liverpool spokeswoman said: "We have never commented on potential investors and we will not comment on this one." But the club has been looking for investment as it moves forward with plans to build a new 60,000-seat stadium for ?180m.

I know it's optimistic to expect a transcript of the meeting but we have a few informed characters on here so i'be got my fingers crossed. No, i'm not annoyed by the first reply , just glad i didn't get ignored!

I know it was described as routine but weren't they discussing transfer targets and also getting an investment presentation from a european consortium? Anyone heard anything about the outcomes?
