Arsenal have a big hairy debt, around £450M, but that aside, the main difference between us and than is that players they've sold (Vieira, Anelka, Ovemars, Petit, etc) have made MILLIONS for them. We've lost millions on every big signign we've made, and the league is littered with our ex players - there must be thirty ex-LFC players playing in in the Premier league now, all wasted cash and contract payoffs. Seriously, count them. It's MADNESS.

Tht's the frustrating thing - that setup for Fowlers goal - he really does have great feet and touch. You can argue that maybe the defence weren;t all that great, but jesus, I'd happily watch him try that all day and fail four times out of five, than watch another sideways pass.

Let me first direct your attention to the title of the post. Now, having done that - Stevie was voted sexiest something or other by "Attitude" at one point.

I think he shirks it a bit too, Leo - when he has the choice to either delive rit early, or take his man on, he's inclined to play it sideways or behind, and then trot infield. He shoudl step up, make thign shappen, but instead he lets others take it on.

Read elsewhere on the rumour mill that due diligence was largely completed before the NWDA approval was given. I don't think this would be so public if it wasn't very nearly complete.

She can probably lob them in from sixty yards.

Aye, sponsorshop of Arsenal to be withdrawn and them left without a pot to piss in.

With the possible exception of Mrs Is-she-or-isn't-she Crouch.

Right. Nobody else is asking, but I am. Explain.

"So, what attracted you to millionaire footballer Xabi Alonso?"

To be hoenst, I agree with all that, but I'm forcing my self to give him a chance at least until January when we might be able to replace him.

Who are the other two? One is Mrs Luis, right? The one in the orange?

How about "He lacks drive"?

I think he is good enough, in terms of ability. Technically, he's excellent - his touch, his feet, all great. He can cross, he can beat a man, there's pace, it's all there. "Bottle" is exactly the right word, though.

Hasn't always been a self-propagating elite liek there is now, though - the champion's league means that the same three or four teams every year get the extra cash, and the gap between them and the others widens every year. Before, you had to win the league to get into Europe, so to pull away from the rest required an extraordinary level of consistency, the cash was pread around a little more. Football, like it or not, has become haves and have nots. If we want success, we have to be one of the haves.

I've searched Google to the absolute limit of being fired to no avail. She's SO classy, she's not even on the internet.

I've seen a pic. She's proper stunning.

You could say the same thing about the Champion's League - that money created an elite upper-class of clubs, who were raking in a fortune over and above the other theams in their league, and getting further and further ahead every year. Nowadays we're (finally) a part of that elite, and nobody's complaining. In fact, we'd whinge if we were outside of that elite for a season. Investment is just another rung on the same ladder.

You clearly don't have the same level of...er....respect...ahem...for Xabi that I do.

....but Xabi's DEFFO top of my "if I was" list. "Since I've been in Liverpool, one of the things I've noticed most is how much the club and people respect and realise the importance of their traditions.......It's clear investment will bring a lot of good things to Liverpool, but I'm sure the new people will also recognise the good things at the club which we already have which don't need to change so much."

I think we know enough of Moores and Benitez to beleive that they'll be doing things without anything like the level of avarice and c***ery displayed by that other lot. Or Chelsea.

IF money's equal, the only reason you'd choose Chelsea is to live in London. With Sol Campbell. In his flat. With the curtains drawn and the lights dimmed.

Someone's been putting goofballs in Johnny's burgers.

My big problem with Pennant is the "I'm happy with my form, the manager is happy" interview - reminded me alltoghether too much of a certain ex-striker's "Why would I need to score more goals, the manager is happy with me?"

Maybe he's a Liverpool player after all.
