Losers mentality - it's catching.

Don't blame you - although the we tried our hardest to choke. If Owen signs for the barcodes he can kiss goodbye to the chance of winning any medals, apart from maybe the Intertoto Cup, and they don't even show signs of winning that.

If he signs for Newcastle he's a bloody fool !! Then again I thought that when he went to Madrid so who knows what might happen.

'Erm....Scones and Cream Tea please. None of this French nonsense.

Whilst I agree with the tone, are Parry and Moores not to blame for letting Owen get that far down the line after their 2 year contract mantra. No smoke without fire. As far as Gerrard is concerned my own opinion is that he is closer far too close to Struan Marshall - his prick of an agent.

Guv

....or myopic fans that wanna see the oppositions onion bag bulging on a regular and proven basis ?

Oakenfolds mixes of 'The Real Thing' and 'Lemon' were quite sublime.

You and me both mate. oh yes.... You and me both mate.

Glad it's not just me then fyds. Look I can understand the reluctance of many supporters to take the lad back after the acrimonious circumstances in which he left. I can also understand that we are in desperate need of cover at centre-back and a proven right-winger with good crossing ability. By the same token, you have to look at Morientes, Crouch and Cisse and ask where the goals are gonna come from - on a consistent basis. It fascinates me how folk can say we don't need him.

Can someone tell what the point of having players in the team to hold the ball up when there's no-one around to consistently put the ball in the back of the net. Am I being thick or something ?

But this is where I'm trying to understand your thinking about systems. If we sign Owen we can play any of the following with expectation of goals: - Owen up top with Nando as split striker - Owen up top with Crouch as split striker - Crouch up top with Nando as split striker - or just go a flat two with Cisse and Owen Then there's the option of playing Garcia in the 'hole' or even using Gerrard if needs be (not sure that one works, but seems to in Europe at a slower tempo). I'm just seeing this as a straight swap - Baros for Owen. I just think it's a no-brainer as far as goals are concerned. I'm also amazed that you think Rafa is being cajoled into this by the board after our first-hand experience of how we came to recruit Benitez. By his previous employers meddling in transfer dealings.

So what if the board told Rafa his budget wouldn't be affected by signing an "expensive" striker ? Rafa said yesterday he is still interested in Kuijt. Feyenoord turned down £10m from Spurs and Everton. Would it disappoint you if Rafa paid £12m for Kuijt ? You seem to be under this crazy illusion that Benitez doesn't want Owen otherwise he would have told the world and his wife, and that there is pressure from the board and even Owen himself to make it happen. Owen wants Liverpool and so does Benitez. The lad is world-class - only a certified madman wouldn't want him on our side.

You forgot Parry who has threatened to get his mate Sideshow Bob to kidnap Rafa's kids and make them wear horrendously loud kids combos from Baby Gap unless he signs Michael Owen.

You can just picture Moores and Parry with Rafa in a headlock in the boardroom while he phones Darth Perez with a bid for £5m after offering Owen £5k per week + unlimited Scouse Pie from the canteen over 5 years.

They could offer 50 million if they want. If Owen doesn't wanna go there permanently they are fecked.

- I would say we relied on Owen like United do with RvN and Arsenal do with Henry. - Maybe, but were you really convinced of Baros' positioning, goalscoring and finishing abilities ? I wasn't. - Shouldn't be. I rate Nando (and his track record) highly, jury's out on Cisse and Baros has been sold. We need a natural poacher/goalscorer. Haven't seen enough of Nando or Cisse to suggest they'll provide the ammo we need. The little, conniving, traitor of a Welsh midget ticks the boxes.

Some people need to lay off the loony juice round here.....

Reverse pyschology.

Well in SKITTLE - they'll get one more question from me, else it's negative feedback time.

Sent sellers specific questions as to their intentions from the profits they are making.

Nice one Robbie - I'll try and keep an eye out myself.
