Ed the Wool

Cheers Ed

Could I have that stream as well please?

Pennos it is.

That's quality. Would make a great t shirt as well.

That's because he's not special. He's a mouthy chequebook c***.

Mascherano's celebration! He's raving mad. Dossena looked like he was going to explode when he scored. Veins on his head bulging and everything.

Looks like he went the Esso for a snickers at half time. Tremendous.

I swear Babel is on the wacky, his anticipation and reflexes sometimes are shocking. f***ing awesome first half from the lads though. Thoroughly enjoying myself.

Call me a wide eyed optimist, but if Milan shock Utd on Wednesday, and given the fact our lads will have had 10 days extra rest, then we have an excellent chance of beating them. Two defeats in a week for them and they may just wobble and draw a couple in the run in. It'll send a message to the likes of Arsenal and Villa as well. We need to take care of Madrid first though.

On SSN just now, talks are continuing with both parties willing to compromise. 'We want to build the stadium and see the team do well' I hope to God this Kuwait deal is a good one for us, we've suffered enough. I hope it's a complete buyout as well.

Fanning is the best writer on LFC by a country mile at the minute. Dreaming of two wins this week and we can do it I'm sure.

That's a great post. Until the last line. You've always go to believe. But you talk a lot of sense and despite my own anger towards what is happening, and Moores and Parry's part in it.

Its a game of chicken now. Hicks vs Gilett and the pair of them vs a buyer. Lets hope RBS screw the pair of the greedy b******s, I want to see them in tatters.

I was thinking last season rather than this. I don't think the Torres Gerrard thing has got going this season, during to the Euros and injuries. Am hopeful if they are fit and get a run together it will get going again. Doesn't look like happening at the minute unfortunately.

Yes because we'll have better attacking players. Better attacking players have better movement and score more goals. In fact when our two best attacking players play together, Gerrard and Torres, we wiped the floor with a lot of teams last season.

My first thought on waking up this morning as well. For f***s sake. Avoided match of the day and all the press today as well. If Newcastle beat Utd on Wednesday, we beat Sunderland and then them, I might feel a bit better. Talk about highs and lows, Madrid in the week was total ecstasy.

Hope he gets a smack next time he's in Liverpool. He's making Hicks look good he's that much of a g*******.

There's only one thing that bothers me about Rafa getting total control and that is the vacuum that he leaves if he goes or retires. He's a one-off and I think he's pretty much unparalleled in the level of involvement he's prepared to give. You'd need two or three people to do the job he's taking on.

Really? Didn't know that. Our kid was on about Carra's book in Madrid, said it's a really good read. Will have to get hold of one.

I'm surprised to find I do have some sympathy for Parry as a Liverpool fan. But his major failing was his arrogance, and an inability to realise his own limitations. As a CEO its imperative to build a team around you of the best possible people that you can trust. Parry tried to do it all himself, at a time when Liverpool desperately needed to drag the club forward in terms of sales, marketing, ticketing, merchandising, match day revenue AND the footballing side. Ironically I think his greatest successes were in terms of choosing managers, Houllier dragged us back into contention and helped lay foundations and Rafa has put us back in Europe's elite. I don't think any one man could have been CEO, done the transfers and tried to run the commercial interests all at once. He was unable to delegate, or build a team to do this. His greatest failing though was over H & G, and him keeping his job and getting a bonus reeked of self service. No one is perfect, and people in business make mistakes all the time. But I don't think history will be too kind to Rick Parry. Nor David Moores for that matter.

I couldn't be sure it was Tyler to be honest. Was definitely Gray though. He turned around and had a big fat head.
