Only had the pleasure of reading this now.
Resonates on every level.
Football has slipped from the grasp of supporters almost completely.
If you feel alienated, there's another new fan waiting to take your place in the financial food chain som... |

*Bruce Springsteen, We Take Care of Our Own (2012)
It began on Sunday 9th January 2011, a familiar face bestriding Old Trafford with clenched fists and a glint in his eye which seemed to say “hello again, old friend.” There were a few more wrinkles since we had last seen him take his seat on the bench as Liverpool manager, but in... |

Something changed at Liverpool Football Club in recent days, beyond the obvious impact on personnel. Something fundamental. Depending on your context, change can be seen as positive or negative. It's inevitable. Some will experience pain. Some will experience excitement.
We all love the club. And when we love something, and it changes, ... |

So saddened by Kenny's removal but rather than going over the whys and wherefors I'd rather just post something that attempts to convey just what he meant/means to myself,

I think there are two types of supporter hereabouts. Those who believe in short termist, modern day football club ownership which goes along the lines of several business models: You get a year and a bit to do your thing, or you're off. Real Madrid did it for a long time, then again Aston Villa do it... This approach says, no room for sentiment, or... |

Whilst under the influence of LSD, John Lennon would stare at a box of randomly blinking lights for hours, he eventually gave the maker of this technological marvel a job at Apple. Yanni Mardas (or ‘Magic Alex’) was little more than a delusional tv repairman, yet he managed to convince The Beatles that with the right financial backing he could... |

Opinions are like arseholes. We’ve all got one, and mine isn’t popular.
Many of you will disagree with me, but I have enjoyed this season. We’ve not finished 4th, we’ve not finished first, we’ve finished 8th. Written down, it’s terrible, and the outside world will believe it to be so. Indeed I’ve had old... |

Let me get it out in the open to start with, I’ve never been in love with Barca. When I first started on this site, the auld level 3 thread taught me a lot about how people think about the game. Many of those I grew to respect, even if I didn’t agree with them, thought about it a hell of a lot differently than me. No less passionately but cert... |

‘There are players who, when you first see them play, make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Jordan was one of them.
'I was doing a bit of scouting the first time I saw Jordan play, and you just knew straight away he had something.
'As soon as we saw him play it was clear he had that special talent. H... |

The whole of the ball needs to be over the whole of the line and that sums up our season.
Lacklustre first half from both teams and we shoulda coulda won it. How many times we said that this year.
Whisky please. |

didn't see it or hear it beyond some dreadful ref'ing and a class goal from Suarez in the first half. So how was it boys? How did we beat a team that beat us and drew against? |

400 league appearences. 2nd hattrick. First hattrick for 76 years against Everton at Anfield. Gollum's 10th birthday party humped.
It was an evening of dates, numbers and relief.
For me, there was the smallest inkling of what Gerrard, Carroll and Suarez could do when playing together regularly.
There was a 2nd mat... |

How we didn't win 4-2 I've no idea. I said to a pal who's a gooner, that our failings were more successful than their failings. Our failure to score was greater than their failure to defend.
The point of these threads is to reflect after the kneejerk reactions have gone away and a day later I'm calming down but still angry. Angry a... |
