Bootle Buck

The game seems to pass him by. Their is no urgency or heart in his game. He needs to start making things happen as his style of play just isn't suited to us and English football.

Wonder how Mr. Owen is feeling today?

Not enough Fowler threads then

Listening to some talk shows today and to be fair the City fans have been class. All seemed to like Robbie but know his heart has always been at Liverpool. Most wish him well. Nice considering they spent a lot of money on him and he has been injured a lot.

Just put Five Fingers on it

I just broke down and renewed mine. See the club is making money because of Robbie already.

I'd say he is a lot skinnier than 99% on here including me.

Sounds like he is ecstatic and would have done anything to make this deal happen. Kept saying he was chuffed to bits and can't wait to walk down the tunnel in the red shirt.

Why is everyone so surprised. Rafa has always said he wants 1. Players who really want to play for the club 2. Players we can get for the right price. There can't be anyone in the World who would fit those catagories as well as Fowler. You can tell in the interview Robbie would have done anything to wear that red shirt again. I wouldn't be surprised if Robbie isn't a major shareholder in our club one day.

If we were signing Raul, Figo or any other slightly over the hill former star on a free transfer we would be ecstatic. With it being a former Liverpool Legend and loved by the fans it's even fecking better.

Now something like this will speed up his exit from Liverpool if it is true of course. Let's hope we don't have Diouf MarkII off the field as well as on.

If Xabi and Stevie aren't in commanding form we look very toothless with regards to scoring. Sunday was an example, Stevie and Xabi had quiet games by their standards and didn't get forward as often as they do. Our forward line didn't create anything for themselves or threaten Utd in any way. We need a striker who can get stuck in and create things out of nothing. We lost that when Baros went. He at least would make defenders have to think.

My whole attitude on watching us play changes when he starts. After his first touch goes astray and he starts his sulking and mouthing off, I find myself detesting the fella. I never feel that way about any other player but he gets right under my skin. It is painful to think Rafa gives him his chance and he repays him with a lack of effort, discipline and any heart. Quite frankly I preferred watching Diouf in a red shirt and that is saying something.

Just a little less inept than his employers. Now they have a lame duck manager who will be more concerned with sex romps and lining up deals with players than actually winning it.

There is immediately a "Director of player recruitment" position opened at Chelsea. Sven will be starting his networking during the WC.

What decent manager would want to go there. 50 years of mediocrity and no history. The only thing they have going for them is that 50,000 bare beer bellies show up every week.

The Owen transfer has always baffled me. No offers on the table for him and the barcodes come in with a 16 million bid. How can you bid that high with no other takers.

Kewell didn't want to know after his knock. Came into it mor in the second half but by no means a good game for him.

Spot on mate! I was sickened by his lack of effort, heart or enthusiasm when once again Rafa gave him the chance. I would sit the fecker on the bench until he is sent packing. EHD showed much more effort and industry than Cisse and was sent packing.

Cisse needs to get his finger out and Kewell has been quiet since his knock. I think we need to put pressure on Evra and Stevie wide would make sense.

Perfect move for the lad as he will get chances under Jewell. Let's hope he keeps scoring and we get him back in the summer.

I hope he has gone on loan and shows Rafa what a natural finisher he is. Our squad could handle a striker who does little else but score in most games he plays. Good Luck to ya Neil Lad!

The Mancs bringing on Giggs and Neville along with Ferdinand to secure victory. I hope they all get t***tted and pick up knocks for Sunday. Spod Neville the Elder with a Cruyff flick followed by a cross that found the top row of the Stretford End. Some things never change.

It's funny how players can go from "next great hope" to obscurity in a few seasons.

Are they showing it in SPITVISION. Everyone is given a special pair of specs to protect them from the likes of Diouf and Eto'o
