Spurs hammered, Pienaar rubbish

What a dreadful performance by Spurs at Fulham.
As for Pienaar - good luck and hope you enjoy the money, becuase you were utterly awful today.
And by the way, well played Fulham.

The curse of Walter!
Hurrah!

The curse

We used to call it "The curse of Walter" when Walter Smith was in charge at Everton.
Whenever a player left the Blues for "greener pastures" they inevitably found that very quickly their career went tits up.
Cue Nick Barmby, Don Hutchison, Tommy Gravesen, Abel Xavier and others.

So.

Farewell Steven Pienaar. You were no-one when you arrived at Everton, and now you're off to London.
Enjoy the money.

And remember the curse of Walter [Davie].

Players come and players go, but we fans are here for ever. Never make heroes of these dilettantes, they are just not worth it.

And a chance now for Jack Rodwell to make a permanent place in our midfield line-up.

While I'm at it - Dan Gosling: worst of luck to you, too, loser.

Taraah, then Yak

So - it's goodbye then to Yak
And that's the end of that.
It's not because you're black,
It's 'cos your friggin fat.

How low can they go?

Have to say that last night's performance was the worst I have seen in over 50 years of watching Merseyside football.

Only a massive improvement will avoid a right old tonking by Everton on Sunday.

End of.

And it came to pass [anon] part 2

21]When they saw that the might of the Kopites was nigh restored, all the tribes trembled. 22]But the King of the devil-worshippers did not tremble: he was crafty, and in his wisdom he send a madness upon Raphael. 23]Then Raphael became as a man who dreams, speaking in tongues and seeing visions. 24]And he squandered the wealth of the people on lame and useless servants. 25]For he brought to their camp El Zhar and Ngog, Degen and Bar-Ragan. And he brought Yossi the Israelite, who had settled west of the land of Ham; and Babel, in whose name men built a tower. 26]And he brought many, many more. 27]And soon Raphael feared to venture forth, lest he be vanquished, but exhorted his servants only to defend the camp. 28]Then all the tribes came to loath the Kopites, because they were so boring. 29]So the people came before the two Lords, and said, "Why don't Ye giz some ackers for Raphael, that he may bring further glory to the people?" 30]And the Lords replied, "Behold, we have given him millions and millions of shekels. But in his madness he spent it on Glen the son of John, and Aquilani the Roman. And lo, he squandered it on Josemi. Now the bounty of the Lords is gone, for he hath spunked it on absolute garbage." 31]But the people were not satisfied, and they wrote screeds of righteous indignation, and kept saying things about "net spend". 32]So the Lords cast out Raphael, and sent for the prophet Roy, renowned for his steady hand and his outstretched arm and his good relations with the press. 33]But the people were in mourning for Raphael: they loved him greatly and pitied him. And they did also pity themselves. 34]For they were blind to his madness, seeing only his triumph against the Burlusconians years before. 35]And Roy was an old man, and the Kopites lost countless battles. 36]And the people went berserk, and threatened to come unto the house of the Lords and do Them harm. 37]And it came to pass that They were skint, and the moneylenders drove Them from the temple. 38]And so yet another Lord came among the Kopites, and He sacrificed Roy and sent for the old King who had led the Kopites a full score years before. 39]Then the people rejoiced, and cried, "Right, this time we are pure fuchen sorted, la. We're gonna win the league." 40]And there was laughter across the land.

And it came to pass [anon] part 1

1]Then the twenty years of plenty came to an end, and twenty years of famine set in. 2]The land was barren, and nothing flourished, and no glory came upon the kopites. 3]And the kopites saw the glory of their neighbours to the east, the devil-worshippers, and they saw the wealth of the Philistines in the south, who were Muscovites from the house of Chav. 4]Then the kopites suffered bitterly, and grievously did they pity themselves. 5]And the people came unto the Lord, wailing and rending their garments, which were made from shells. 6]And the Lord said, "Why are you come before me, crying and wailing? Wherefore do you rend your garments that are made from shells?" 7]And the people cried, "Behold, oh Lord, we suffer bitterly, like. 8]For thou hast brought wealth upon the Philistines, and glory to the devil-worshippers up the road; but in thy anger Thou hast forsaken us Kopites, what were once blessed in thy sight and that." 9]But the Lord replied, "How is it that I have forsaken you, when I have poured such bounty upon your heads?" 10]But the people looked around them, and saw no riches, nor the shining trophies of battle. And they protested to the Lord, "Where is this bounty, then, O Lord, of which thou fuchen speakest?" 11]And the Lord replied, "Yea, the bounty of the Lord is as the rain, that drained into the sands of the desert. For all is gone on the likes of Bruno Cheyrou." 12]But the people wept, and they no longer had faith in the Lord, and banished Him from their sight. 13]And the Lord went from that place, and two new Lords came from far away in the west. 14]And the new Lords said that They would lead the people to salvation. 15]Then the people bent over before them, and were overjoyed, and they raised their voices in praise, saying, "We're proper sorted now, la. We're gonna win the league." 16]Now it came to pass in this time that they greatly exalted the prophet Raphael, who was their leader. 17]For under his rule they fought a battle of many nations, and in the land of Lud they strove against the Burlusconians. 18]And lo, though they were almost destroyed, they fought back and vanquished their enemy, thanks to Stevie G. 19]Then the Kopites made an idol of Raphael, and cried out that he was the saviour, and by his mighty sword they would come forth in the land. 20]But in the end they came fifth.

The Dream Team next

So, it's King Kenny.

He will no doubt be thankful to his captain Steven Gerrard for all of his help during his first match in charge,especially in the second half.

Kenny will be hoping for success, but LFC have a plan for the ultimate dream team should Dalglish fail.

Next up - Derek Akorah and Bill Shankly.

Hello. is that the Alzheimer's Society?

Quote on the radio this afternoon from the Liverpool Manager:

"I can definitely say my glass is half full. No way is it half empty."

Er, Woy.

If it's half full, then it is also [fill in obvious epithet here please].

Please don't let Blackburn win tonight. Don't want him sacked yet, he is just so much FUN!
