Magic8Ball Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Today is a landmark day. I am not referring to the lovely lady that I had staying over last night, breaking my lengthy self-imposed ban on relationships, or indeed of Scottish women. No, today is not cause for celebration. My smiles of last night withered and died like an English Rose in Autumn. Today is a black day. Today we mourn the passing of a friend, comrade, member of our family, and a key part of our lives that has passed away.. Football died today. Liverpool have sold their soul to the Americans, and we can no longer call it the beautiful game. They are selling their soul for vast amounts of money that will ruin football. Football is ruined and we can never get it back. The small teams are now even further away from the fat cat big boys and cannot hope to compete. Their success will forever be tainted with the money they have, which they are just buying success with. How can any of the "small clubs" cope now? Liverpool are ruining football. How long will this vile aberration on the game`s image last? That depends. The question on everyone`s lips is what will the Red Mickeys do when the Septics get bored of their new plaything, and stop feeding it dodgy money, walk away, and leave you with massive debts? How did these Yanks get their money anyway? Earned it fairly and squarely it says in the papers. That`s as it maybe, but we feel that the indecent amount of money has been stolen from the poor, destitute, starving peasants struggling to survive in the bitter hardship of the US. Ask them how they feel about this sum of money being spent on a football team whilst their children shiver and die in the fields due to lack of food/shoes/Nintendo. I propose that at 11 O`clock tomorrow morning, a minute`s silence be held for the sad, bitter demise of football as we know it. RIP FootballUnbelievable this is the funniest thing I've read today, oh well guess Irony is not dead
RP Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Not interested in what those c***s say or think about anything.
Stanley Leisure Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Fair play to them - it may not be that funny but it certainly is ironic.
Stanley Leisure Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 That site is obsessed with us. Chelsea fans in general are. They must be a touch nervous about their position i would have thought.
Guest Finnan3 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 You do have to wonder where football is going though.
spencer Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 You do have to wonder where football is going though.Going global, that's where. And hopefully, with us at the forefront.
Guest Scot Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Maybe they genuinely think it's sad that a club like ours, so long in family hands, has now gone down the same route as Man U and Chelsea. To some extent it is sad, but it's become essential.
stonty Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 American Pie,...the day the music died. F*ck em, lets rock & roll

R A Softlad Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 They were bricking it before we had a cash injection...
matty Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 It's a fair point to say that we will struggle to slag off Chelsea for their billionaire foreign owner when we've got one too. However, it is the case that had Abramovitch not bought them, we might not be having these conversations now.
R A Softlad Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Indeed Matty, we'd still be there, the Chavs - not so sure.
hideNseek Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Maybe they genuinely think it's sad that a club like ours, so long in family hands, has now gone down the same route as Man U and Chelsea. To some extent it is sad, but it's become essential. The only thing they give a f*** about is us catching them up, their s***ting it as we all know we've the better manager and now he'll have the money he needs.
surf Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 It is somewhat ironic, considering us making fun of ManUSA (although not entirely as our new owners aren't saddling us up in debt).
crisps Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 It is somewhat ironic, considering us making fun of ManUSA (although not entirely as our new owners aren't saddling us up in debt). that was great in the interview when the sky guy asked him how his takeover compared to glazer and how much debt we're going to be in and how we plan to repay it and the guy said there is no debt
floyd Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Shame that Chelsea were hours from going under.

Guest Toby Brown Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Shame that Chelsea were hours from going under. A popular fable. There were several consortiums looking to buy, one was headed by David Mellor (thank god that never happened) and another by Bernie Ecclestone. Roman came along and gazumped the lot, hence why Mellor spewed his 'fit and proper' diatribe in the press. Sour grapes? Never. Still, your lot have now followed suit and it certainly will mix things up a bit. What will Arsenal do now? Let's just hope Rafa doesn't spunk the next eighty million like he did the last eighty, eh? ;-)

It didn't need to be Abramovich, it just happened to be. back for another history lesson? Oi! Chelsea were the first team to have programmes.
Gilps Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Oi! Chelsea were the first team to have programmes. And something utterly irrelevant and tedious to do with corner flags or something. Don't forget that glorious chapter.
liverbird04 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Its taken two americans to reach a billion in combined wealth in english pounds ,the russian is still considerably richer than our two together . Not that it matters ,Liverpool just need the new stadium to secure its future .
