Hi, I am a Liverpool fan and steadily been driven towards clinical depression. What's your poison?
Got a tip for us?

Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood tells us what we already know, and why Wenger has tenure.
You guys will buy another striker and/or midfielder in January and start building from there. Its not like you're going to be relegated...its not that bad. You guys are playing well and creating chances. Suarez/Borini just need to practice their finishing.

Well, thanks for the sympathy but as an Arsenal fan you CAN say that because Wenger has the best track record of buying players for the right price in the premier league! We'll go buy Carroll back for £37m given our recent history of mishaps
I wanted a new start. Neither Rafa nor Kenny are the answer as far as I'm concerned.
To be fair to Kenny, Comolli was deeply involved with transfers that happened on Dalglish's watch. With that being said, most Liverpool fans seem to be allergic to any criticism of Dalglish. But I am not. He was not the right fit. He is a good man-manager, he's not as past it as his biggest detractors suggested and he did the absolute best he could under the circumstances. But it wasn't good enough. For the money Carroll cost we should have a productive striker and we do not.
It may get worse before it gets better, particularly if something happens to either Suarez or Borini, or if Borini fails to develop into his role in the club. I have zero expectations, and I'm going to be frustrated for most of the season in all probability and be left deflated as we maroon ourselves in mid table. We will be among the lowest scoring teams in the league.
But I am not going to panic. Rogers needs a season or two. That's a long time to sit back and watch Liverpool look mediocre and win nothing, but it is necessary given our situation. I doubt we'll get that 3rd striker we need for a year now, so we just need to make the best of it and hope Rogers' project slowly comes together. We should not panic-buy in January (if a good opportunity presents itself, that is a different matter).
FSG will now be seen (rightly or wrongly) as having screwed up with the Carroll signing and with their failure to buy in this window. They will lose a lot of support if they screw up again, and they won't be able to blame the previous owners anymore and be taken seriously.
He looked washed up at Man Utd...it will be interesting to see what he has left in the tank.
You're not alone here's a terrifying tale of a squirrel pushed so far to breaking point that he tried to end it all by throwing himself into the wheels of Alan Knill's bicycle.
Scunthorpe manager Alan Knill suffers squirrel accident
Must have been a red squirrel...
Apparently the doctors feared he'd lost a couple of fingers in the accident, until they realised he wasn't from Lincolnshire and was only supposed to have five on each hand.Guess nothing important got damaged eh Iron fans?

one can only assume the squirrel didn't make it... ?
Oh no! Not the squirrel!
But who's dat fella Knill? Him? And why is he holding two balls in his hands? This is a football thread!

LMFAO! If only us reds fans were a protected species like our sciuridaen friends! To protect us from incurable viral infection dumped on us by our North American cousins
And to make matters worse for Reds fans, Fulham are pursuing their complaint regarding FSG's website stating Liverpool had signed Clint Dempsey
Rumour has it, any compensation received will go towards building a statute of Fulham legend 'Whitney Houston', to accompany the one of Jacko

I don't know, people seem to be only bothered about Knill and scant thought seems to have been paid towards his furry would-be assassin, sadly.
Clearly he's doing a bit of coaching there. Don't know how he'd get hold of his whistle with his hands full though.
FSG does sound like it could be a medical condition. Causes a nasty rash or incurable sneezing or something...
That's not true Jaffa, and you know it! Pachy and me were almost entirely curious about the remains (?) of said animal. And about that assassination..always keep in mind the white rabbit. Not that wonderland-junkee but the one from the holy grail..these small animals are nastiness-proven lil' rascalz...
Not you lot I mean the media types reporting the story. Obviously we're a more compassionate and caring set of people here.
Thank's for the flowers. And now it's getting OT: MR (and this thread especially) teaches me a lot of useful english swearings and so: a lot = a gang? Sorry but I slept a lot during schooltime..
..and back to topic again: Del Piero signed a two-year contract at the FC Sydney.
Yeah, I heard that on deadline day. He's being unveiled by Sydney today. I was hoping one of the Premiership teams might have got him for a year, but clearly the $ and the nice weather was more appealing
To be honest I'd to that ,too. Especially because of the nice weather. You know, the old bones and stuff...
I guess he's not afraid of spiders and snakes then
Maybe you read that, too, but there was just yesterday an article published that they desperately call for brave Aussis to catch the atrax robustus, the most deadliest spider in the world, in Sydney. Because of the steadily decreasing amount of anti toxin.
Maybe Alessandro read that too and decided he could be of some help. He's a proven larger than life hero.
I'm terrified of spiders, but am very much reassured by the thought of Del Piero stepping in to halt their rein of eight-legged terror. Well done, that man I salute you.
I'll join the lot (?)
of the terrified anti-spider (and possibly anti-squirrel??) movement - lead by the brave Italian, but have to say that there lies a deep poetic beauty within a death caused by the bite of a hairy hoodlum. Personally I still prefer the more civilized poetry of my Porsche-against-the-wall car accident.Edit: don't know what to think about a Ferrari-meets-Squirrel car accident. Sounds ridiculous somehow.
I'm curious what you, personally and in general, think of Klinsmann. He got pretty bad press over here in Germany. I mean really pretty bad press.
I like him though. He renewed the N11 from scratch, installed the right people in the background and f'ed up B.Munich at his times over there..so not so bad over all.
