Sweet Pete

^^^^^ so jealous he's adopted a submissive position in the hope of an invite.

You seem to be forgetting that quite a few of the P&B regular posters already know each other and socialise together. In fact, your post of reeks of jealousy IMO.

Toby going?

Celebrities post pictures of their lunch and porn bots follow you at random. CraigKillie tweets football stats from one account and has tear-stained breakdowns when Killie lose from another account. It's not the greatest social media and can quite often just seem like a relentless stream of unrelated nonsense. The worst thing about it is folk begging celebrities for attention, it makes me want to read it through my fingers.

And you've got great hair

In.

Well I'm on there, so obviously that's your quota of intelligence, wit and sex taken up. In addition to following me I'd also suggest following Jimmy85 as he's quite funny (in an insular, racist, sexist, deeply offensive to all sort of way).

A friend bought Ian Rush's autobiography for me a few years ago. His account of the Heysel Disaster is similarly wishy washy and attempts to blame fans of other clubs, taking particular time to describe that he had seen someone wearing an Arsenal top in the middle of a photo of the fighting on the terrace before the wall collapsed. He also makes mention elsewhere in the book of Liverpool having never had a hooliganism problem and that it was a scene only played out at other clubs.

That's a cracking statement. Kudos.

I agree with the statements in bold. The recipe was always there, and would likely have occurred without any other spark than numbers versus available space. It is simply untrue to state, categorically and without mention of other, arguably more prevalent factors, that fans caused this to happen.

Correct, but it also notes that it was not the sole factor and that the entrance facilities, terrace, police and planning all played a part. So to say that "the bottom line is that the fans caused it" is grossly incorrect and wildly inaccurate.

The crush happened because thousands of people were funnelled into a narrow tunnel. The same thing happened at the Love Parade festival in Duisburg in 2010 and left approx 20 dead after a crush in a (fairly large) tunnel. The German crush was attributed to a mass panic, which occurred due to the sheer weight of people being channelled into a concrete tunnel. You continue to deny the true cause of the Hillsborough Disaster and attribute it to Liverpool supporters acting negligently even in the face of the evidence presented by the Taylor Report and the latest Hillsborough Enquiry and seemingly refuse to change your position even after it has been proven that the actions of the supporters were not the cause of the disaster. To steadfastly refuse to change your opinion even after it's been proven wrong? There's a word for that.

If there's a minimum IQ limit then you'll be fucked.

T-shirts? f**k right off.

And again. 8)

You're probably a Celtic fan. Square go.

And now favourited by Irvine Welsh.

I've been re-tweeted by The Rubber Bandits.

I'd agree. I'd never have asked my father-in-law, it's hard enough getting him to answer polite small talk about the weather without laying something like that on. Awkward enough already.

Being the target in the middle of a bukkake ring made up of the likes of dundeebarry, Ric, Ad-Lib, Supras, C Muir and The Phoenix doesn't really appeal to me either.

Is this in relation to Moz's post, or is this something you'd like to share with P&B?

I think you'd struggle to find many Liverpool fans who think Andy Carroll was a good signing. Perhaps on the day of his dramatic last minute unveiling, but even then there were grumblings from some quarters about the sum being shelled out for a player with relatively little first team Premier League experience, especially given that he was signed as a direct replacement for Fernando Torres, a striker who is worlds apart in ability from Andy Carroll. Liverpool's fans have been pretty consistent in their dissatisfaction at Carroll's signing. Henderson's a different scenario, he seems to divide the support in that some feel he's a worthwhile signing who'll be there a long time and will blossom into a mainstay in the team, whilst others feel he was a rash purchase that cost too much and isn't good enough to improve the team. On that one, either camp could ultimately be proved right and it remains to be seen how Henderson progresses.

Just a few, short seasons ago, Liverpool's starting midfield was Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano (now of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively), with Premier League Player of the Year Steven Gerrard ahead of them supporting Fernando Torres, who at that time was arguably the most potent striker in the Premier League. And they had a double Champions League winning manager in charge of them. Skip forward a few seasons and their midfielders are Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, Jonjo Shelvey and Charlie Adam, with occasional cameos from an injury prone Steven Gerrard, who's been living off of past glories for about 3 years now, with Andy Carroll up front and a relative rookie in charge, Rodgers only having managed small clubs previously and only getting his first managerial post in 2008. Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Enrique, Suarez, Borini and Lucas is a decent spine of a team, but only if they can add half a dozen players of real quality to complement them, and even then they'd have zero strength in depth and would have to fall back on the likes of Carragher and Downing. Players like Adam, Downing, Shelvey, Spearing, Henderson, Carragher (nowadays), Cole, Carroll, Kelly, Brad Jones (I put his first name in as noone would know who I meant otherwise, he's that famous) et al will not get them anywhere near the level that they aspire to and that their fans demand. A look at the following link illustrates perfectly the position that Liverpool are in: http://www.liverpool...team/first-team There are very few quality players amongst that lot, and precious few experienced players to call upon when they need to freshen things up. That's not to say that guys like Charlie Adam and the rest aren't talented, I happen to like Charlie Adam as a player, but they're not the calibre of player that renowned teams with a famous name turn to to lead them to trophies. Until Liverpool can or will have a complete sweep of their playing staff and build a new squad from the ground up then they will simply continue to plod along and fall further and further behind the Man United's, Man City's, Arsenal's and Chelsea's of this world.

The Sky paper talk section claims Liverpool have rejected an attempt by Bolton to take Jay Spearing on a season long loan. One can only assume that they've rejected it as they'd prefer it was a permanent arrangement rather than a loan, because to actively try and keep dross like Spearing would be utter folly.

Just managed to track it down amongst the Falkirk v Raith match thread. Ridiculous. The Falkirk board are obviously trying to appease militant bears to make the most of their upcoming cup ties.
