Case, if it's any consolation I agree with your assesment. We (well most of us) agree on the same areas of improvement and see us now as a work in progress. LFC haven't the means to deliver an all-conquering side right now, but the will is there and we've improved beyond sufficiently to bring us closer to our goals. We're trying, and we've shown moments of excellence and greatness. To paraphrase; It's not where you're at or where you've been, it's where you're between. And it's a blind man who'll say we're not going places right now.

You're not alone, I wondered that meself. According to lfchistory.net He made 6 appearances in the 2001-02 campaign.

209 seems to be asserting itself in starting songs these days. Perhaps the advent of PTS'ers in 202 is contributing to it's steady demise. Who knows? Nevertheless, it's fecking annoying hearing 202 start one song off just as block 209 are in full roar of completely different tune. Even when they're singing the same tune, they're both well out of synch and it sounds a mess. Move 202 & 209 en-masse into 204/205 I say, and let the love spread outwards.

Liverpool, Hoof-the-ball" tickled me, I have to say. Not half as much as oour retort though; "Sol Campbell, where's she gone?"

To be fair, even with (a hypothetical ) Henry, Hunt & Greaves as options they'd struggle to score the way we play. It's not important who's at the sharp end of things; it's the cavalry coming in behind that matters. True, a predatory striker with the ability to turn defenders inside-out is a benefit (hello, Robbie) but we've got our goals mostly through overloading in attack, spreading the ball around and pulling defences out of shape for the midfielders to slot one in past a crowded box. Classic Valencia-style. Defences in the prem close down and re-group too quickly for it to work in the prem. Although this doesn't mitigate Mori, Cisse and Crouch's profligacy in front of goal, it's acknowldgement that our midfield (bar Xabi and Garcia) lack the vision to provide the defence-splitting balls Cisse and Mori at least would relish: How many times have we seen our strikers having to turn their backs to goal to recieve a pass? It's frustrating. Don't build the gallows just yet; wait at least until our midfield has mastered the art of the early pass to space ahead of the striker.

Reading fans singing about a certain TV 'twitcher' who watches them: (To the tune of Madonna's 'Erotic'): Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie Rub your beard all over my body.

Thought he linked up well with Melchiot last night. Pennant and Finnan on the right next season; :drool:.

Terrible ref. His only 'credit' was that he was as unfair to them as he was us. Well, apart from the Fowler goal, obviously.

More importantly, will their goal tally for the tournament reach double figures?

Credit to Spurs, they came here to give us a game. No way did they play for a 0-0, they were up for it. But, we bagged them up and sent them on their way, much like we've done everyone (almost ) so far. Fair result I thought, and it was great to see Kewell lash in a thunderbolt of a goal. Great work all round! And eh? Who says we need a right winger? Momo was a revelation! Tennis elbow?

I think he suffers in comparison to the brilliance of Sami, Carra and Finnan as constituent parts of our back-four. As I See it, Riise's benefitted from Sami moping-up when he's gone missing on numerous occasions this season.
