Hearing Liverpool fans belt out "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the terraces has helped inspire Spain's Olympic Committee president to seek lyrics to the country's wordless national anthem, he said on Tuesday "More than envy, I feel a great admiration (when I see other national teams singing their anthems)," Alejandro Blanco told sports daily AS. "I had the chance to listen to "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League match recently and it gave me goose bumps." Spanish sports figures have come out in support of the idea, which has received backing from some politicians. Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas said: "It would help fire up all the fans", and the captain of Spain's basketball world champions Carlos Jimenez added: "It would be good if it helped unite the players, and encourage the team spirit." A former prime minister's attempt to come up with some lyrics a few years ago failed because no one could agree what they should be. "No one should see this as a political opportunity. The intention is to reflect the pride of our sportspeople when they represent us at great events. Sport should unite people," Blanco said.

not really, its just as far out as henry IMO

are we signing gazza?

that is a stupid comment

dunno why people are still discussing henry, a transfer like this would have been leaked to the media a long time ago. arsenal would have wanted a public auction to drive the price up and to put pressure on henry not to leave. unless of course wenger is leaving also....

i hate the close season endless rumours spread by people will nowt better to do

yep, thats exactly what he said

Hicks on SSN on upcoming signings "be patient, were talking to rafa often, parry and the lawyers are working on the wording of the contracts and i think the fans will hear something in the next week" sounds to me like prices have been agreed and its just a matter of contract talks now

he says the new stadium plan is done and it s spectacular and he cant wait to show it to the public. says it centres around the kop
