Extraordinary Swindle

Chris Bascombe has said that Houllier was trying to do the same thing to Owen as had been done to Fowler in terms of only wanting to see bad press for the player. That's when Bascombe started to turn against Houllier.

It looks like we're after making the transition to title challenger in the special one's eyes. Last year he ranted about Arsenal and Man Utd but there was no mention of Liverpool, kind of like Demento's frequent displays of ignorance by failing to acknowledge the club. Other than that the piece is nothing but drivel that we've come to expect from him.

I'd rather the club sign RVN - proven goal scorer in the league and Europe. Scoring 20+ goals a season in the league is the norm for him rather than the exception. He can also play up front on his own.

No Inter could be 'awarded' the Serie A title.

Liverpool were looking at him before signing Carson. Is he the same Hilario that gifted Man Utd four goals in the Champions League some years back playing for Porto?

How bad are Belarus? Reason for asking are the generous half-time/full-time odds on offer. With James starting in goal anything is possible.

Cue Rafa getting a call from the agent to say that Alves does not want to join Liverpool whilst Kromkamp/Finnan is at the club! How likely are Barca to get rid of Belletti? I mean he won them the European Cup.

You're right - It was one of the group games in France '98. I think it was Junior Baiano who pulled Tore Andre Flo down in the last minute of the game. In the initial replay it showed Baiano standing in front of Flo the two of them jumping for a header and Flo appeared to push Baiano down - Free kick for Brazil but the referee called a penalty. Norway scored the penalty and won the game 2-1. The controversy arose because Norway beat Morocco to second place in the group with the win, the referee was American and the xenophobic press were having a go. A couple of days later there was an obscure camera angle of the incident which showed Baiano had a hand behind his back holding Flo and as Flo jumped Baiano 'fell' pulling Flo down on top of him. The referee was vindicated in his decision and in an interview revealed that he had seen the player perform the same foul and get away with it at least twice while watching games on tv before the World Cup.

Can he shoot? On the evidence of one Champion's League Semi-Final performance at Anfield he cannot. Therefore we don't need him. QED Close the thread.
