The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

Some of us grizzled vets like yourself have been here since the Rafa days

But looks like you even predate that to the Houllier days

Me and jod were here for Houllier days and Istanbul, those were the days, we were literal toddlers

Did anyone see the highlights of the Middlesbrough v Bolton game? Former Liverpool defender Abel Xavier (who I never thought I would see in the EPL again) scored twice with his head! :eek: Both were brilliant goals. And helped put space between us and Bolton in the process. :thumbsu:

Good thing Gillett found the money

Imagine if you were last here during Roy Hodgson's tenure and reading this?

No one should be reminded of that era. I chose to erase it from memory.

Agreed. I remember I was a checkout worker at the time and I was chatting to a regular customer who was a Wet Ham fan. When it was down to Woy or Roberto Martinez (IIRC) as the next manager I remember telling him I was firmly in the Woy camp. I wish I could erase that from my history.

Is it fair to say that Roy was the Damien Drum of Liverpool?

I suppose that is the most apt comparison from a Freo point of view.

 

[jod23]

Figured as much from the celebration how he imitated talk and then imitated naaaah. Haha.

 

[jod23]

Oh half of us were here, that was a riot

It was a dark, dark time.

It's best not to speak of it.

God so much time has passed. Scary to think of.

The Liverpool journey has been pretty great though. Love my club.

Oh man remember Istanbul bro? That thread was a laugh! What at time!

Christian Poulsen, Paul Konchesky and a washed up Joe Cole

 

[RossFC]

Free transfer.

Christian Poulsen, Paul Konchesky and a washed up Joe Cole

So bad. The benefits of life long support, it will always come back to the good times........eventually.

You're forgetting the greatest player in the world, Milan Jovanovic.

 

[Zidane98]

For 6 months in 2010 we had Cancer & aids owning the club and Woy managing the club.


Don't think it's ever going to get much worse.............

Imagine any top 6 club having a summer window like this




It says a lot that the biggest success in this window was Meireles who was flipped to Chelsea in January and Brad Jones who was a backup keeper.


This readds more like the transfer business of a promoted championship club at the time.

As a native Sandgroper I loved the Brad Jones signing

He did a job as a backup, stayed for quite a while and is fondly remembered. The story of his son was heartbreaking.

 

[gaskin]

I will die on the hill of Raul Meireles being a good player for us. I was spewing when he ended up at Chelsea.

Yeah he was excellent for the time he was with us. Not quite sure why we sold him. We had FSG onboard by that stage, surely we weren't that desperate for cash. Flipping Torres was the best businesses of the mid season window as unpopular as it was at the time.

Further to my post yesterday, it does seem there is a little bit of luck with the UCL knockout rounds. There will still be a draw but it will be limited. This graphic illustrates it best:

There has to be an alternative universe out there where Torres stays to partner Suarez, recapturing his best form and they go on to do great things together for us.

If Madrid can get their shit together properly it's still hard to see how they don't win the CL.
