Yes Dave nice write up . How much did that all cost you ?

Imp time is the one thing he may not get mate . Now what I'm going to say now is not a dog at you are Liverpool fans in particular but I find that supporters of the "bigger" clubs tend to think they have a divine right to succeed . Arsenal fans , or at least most of 'em , are on Wengers back at the moment yet they finish top 4 year in year out . The cup last season has only placated them into demanding more . Now . The new breed of supporter neither has the patience to wait or the experience to fall back on to give them that patience. I have a clip of a Chelski fan doing his absolute nut at Mourinho . He is too young to have known what it was like to stand in a half empty shed on a wet cold February Tuesday night in the old second division with the other 8000 die hards , has only ever known success and has been spoilt by it. I can't post it on here but I'll send it to you . It's a source of great amusement down here at the moment . I think 'pool held onto Rodgrrs a few weeks too long and from what I saw a few weeks ago your team may need more than a cocky kraut to knit em together quickly . The January window will see a lot of squad turnaround at Anfield I reckon , but yes I think NEXT season you may well be up there . As for Sunderland . On paper they have the squad to stay up comfortably but with the dinosaur in charge I think they will get relegated . If not this season then shortly after they have had enough of him. He spends millions on defensively minded journeymen from his former clubs , bored the fans to death , insults their intelligence by refusing to connect with them at all , blames everybody but himself , and when they finally get him out and employ a manager with a more positive outlook on the game they are left with a squad unable to cope with the expected change in philosophy . As a result those teams get relegated shortly after , see Toon and Blackburn. The only reason we won't go the same way is because our owners saw it coming and took player recruitment out of his hands a year before he left . We bought and have bought flair players , something the Allasaurus doesn't do , he can't stand a number 10 . Sterling would still be in our Dev squad. Expect Nolan and Amalfitano to be at Sunderland by next weekend and a load of other Mark Curtis represented players there in January . I predict Andy Carroll , James Collins and Joey O'Brien to be there in January and maybe even Mark Noble because he will lose his place in the team when Song is fit . 19th century football played by oafs like Allardyce and Pulis is no longer effective in this league . Prehistoric mate . As I said before it's a shame because the Mackems are proper loyal supporters and don't deserve it .

Good luck with the Klopp Stevey . Knows how to charm a press conference doesn't he ? As for Blunderland . Oh dear Shame cos the Mackems are proper fans.

When all else fails you can't beat a bit of mindless optimism

Just goes to show how good Suarez and Gerrard were that year . They ain't the same club of yesteryear that's for sure . I know someone who can "guarantee" they stay up ....

Close it's actually the amount of time Andrew Carroll has played this season before getting injured . If he was a horse he would be shot ffs

West Ham related quick quiz question . If the answer is 22 minutes what is the question ?

Welcome mate

See em live in Sheffield a few years ago Nick , Metallica at Milton Keynes on the Saturday and got a train straight up to the Don Valley Stadium for the Sunday . Hmmmm Rock of Ages la la la la

Hands up all those who would fish IN the weed purely because Phils been told to find the clear spots ?

Watched this show tonight , brought back a few good memories.

Sorry Sam , it's taken a lot to make me laugh lately but this made me wet myself . I'm so sorry :) :)

Dunno why you bother posting all these tiddlers every year

Yeah well the Catfish will be asleep won't they and his takings probably ain't worth his while keeping it open just for the Carp which are difficult enough to catch in the a Summer let alone winter . Personally I think that heavily fished venues such as that should be getting a couple of 2 week breaks a year . Once as the Carp spawn and again later in the summer . Would never happen though would it and we all know why

That's good going on there I reckon , specially the Carp . I remember when it used to be empty midweek .

Just had a look at their website Ian . Looks like a nice place to while away a couple of days with some nice looking fish too mate.

I would consider a " lower" 20lb+ fish ample reward . Especially if the lake was considered to be tough going or difficult . Sounds to me as if catching a 20 from Willesley would be a challenge worth taking on . Where is it again ?

It doesn't sound too unfair when you put it like that , and let's face it , most Carpers do 24hr+ anyway imo not too bad in that respect Round here it's about £10 for 2 rods day session , £20 for 24 hrs (and it has been for years) and £200 for the year April-March . That's good value . 6 x 48 hr sessions and after that it's Freddy Freemans

Blimey Mick I nearly choked on me dinner when I saw this . Cor £30 for the day is a real Liberty . No wonder you boys up there fish the rivers . And they say the South east is expensive ( generally).

Well it's only 5 games into the new season and there appears to be a massive smiley dancing up and down in Easex and East London at the moment .... A completely different mentality , the ability to change tactics to suit the opposition with players that are capable of the job . Entertainment being the bottom line as there will undoubtedly be a few more 4-3 defeats this season home AND away but at least there is a new wave of optimism instead of undying feelings of dread . A manager who may or may not prove to be a success long term but at least tells it how it is instead of blaming everybody and everything but himself . So although I may be jumping the gun a little bit I have a message for Messrs Merson Savage Shearer Keys Keown Lawrenson Souness etc ... YOU be careful what you wish for !!!!!

On a more cheerful note . What's happened to Chelski ?

He can only score against the opposition he faces Muft so yes you are right there and he'll always be in the record books regardless so credit there . Just as a side note though , it's my opinion that the home countries teams were (generally) stronger in those days than Luxembourg (for example) are now. I know Wales would gives us a battle now.
