You've gotta be honest though, Liverpool supporters have hardly covered themselves in glory.

Naked Ape is getting a bit busy over your sig
What do I tell him?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:09, Reply)

Al gave him a slightly distorted explanation yesterday.
I think he should be satisfied with that.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:10, Reply)

That's okay then.
As long as he has some sort of explanation.

The general gist was there, but it lacked the subtlety of the original Viz entry, I felt.

So it was all about you having a BBQ.
I can see where this might have gone wrong. I'm concerned you pointed him in my direction.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:18, Reply)

Nah, I was posting on my phone on my way home.
It would have taken too long to explain so I suggested he asked you as you were familiar with the tale anyway.

This is true.

That aside.
You've got to admire their achievements.

I won't be surprised if - by the end of next season - Andy Carroll looks like a bargain.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:10, Reply)

Here's hoping!
I've heard something which said that the main reason his form was poor for so long was due to the ankle injury he had never really subsiding, and that he'd never been shown how to run properly to avoid injury. I'd mock that report, but I know that I only broke my foot because of the way I was running.

As a result, his injury finally started to clear up around Christmas time, his performances improved, and when he regained confidence, well, look at how he played against Chelsea.

Could be bollocks for all I know, but it does make a certain amount of sense.

That and the weight of expectation draped around is £35million shoulders, I should imagine.
you can't blame Liverpool for taking such a massive punt on him, I guess, in the first half of that season he was phenomenal for Newcastle. I am still to be convinced that he actually wanted to leave, though.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:15, Reply)

He's made it fairly clear he wanted to stay at Newcastle, I think
The weight of expectation can't have helped at all, either.

Good bit of business on Ashley's part.
I think even Pardew would acknowledge that now, although he wasn't happy at the time.

Supposedly, they originally wanted the £50 million we'd got for Torres, but that got argued down to £35 million
Either way, still a fucking huge amount of money
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:19, Reply)

Oh, indeed.
What I'd do with £35million...

Buy two strikers for less than that who've been banging in the goals?

To be fair to Carroll, he hadn't been doing too badly the season we bought him, 11 goals from 19 games isn't too shabby

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:27, Reply)

But the season before, he was no match for Nicky Maynard.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:28, Reply)

Maynard played 3 extra games, scored 2 extra goals
Not exactly a huge difference...
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:30, Reply)

And Liverpool are rich with strikers who can score 2 in 3........

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Jun 2012, 0:33, Reply)

The season before last, he was no match for Bill Maynard!

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing.
It makes me laugh how they bleat on about justice for the 96 (which I firmly agree with, there has to be answers) yet I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen Scousers jib into Craven Cottage without tickets. It's hilarious how un self aware they are.

Apparently, when Bristol City were in the first division back in the 1970s
They tried a similar trick.

It wasn't a success.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care and I've done it a fair few times myself.
But my club hasn't suffered the tragedy they have due to overcrowding in a stadium and I'm not demanding justice for those that lost their lives in that awful incident.

To be fair, Jeff's team hasn't suffered from overcrowding in a stadium much lately.

You've met me; can you honestly see me wearing a bow tie?

This is very true.
If it wasn't for you taking that spare ticket off me, we'd have been a man down last season.

Next time you come down, bring your boots, I might be able to get you a game.

It was a bit of fresh air.
