Any news on Colin? There were a few updates on Facebook earlier in the week but I haven’t seen anything for a couple of days now.
Did I just hear that right?? The team third in the Premier League play 4-2-3-1???? Surely not.
The Prem is a whole different beast! The championship on the other hand is a league were 4-4-2 has reaped the benefits more than any other formation! Now if playing 4-4-2 consistently for several games on the trot doesn’t come to fruition then it can be deemed not the answer for us, but until then……………….[/quote]
You do realise it’s possible to play two up front without rigidly lining up as 442 don’t you? No, probably not.
wishful thinking would love him back[ paul jewell]
You can’t and shouldn’t turn back the clocks. You only have to go to one of those northern soul sessions at Swinley LC or Pem Central LC and see what is taking place on the dance floor, to realise that.

Quite ironic for someone who appears to be stuck in the 1980s ;)
I think being laid up and recovering from a knee-op for 6 weeks in the Caribbean would prevent him from interviewing managers anyway. Not that he was likely to be contemplating changing managers anyway.
Too late then gents, we’ll be stuck with what we haveFind it baffling that some folk just don’t care if we go down so easily without a fight, under such a cloud, with such a cock as malky and his formations.
This grown men thing ……….Latics aren’t my be all and end all but they are my team, always have been always will be but I don’t want to see what I’m seeing now. I would have thought everyone could agree with that.
I don’t want to see it either, but I also don’t see any point in throwing myself into a hysterical fit about it like some.
I will wait until the window is shut before i condemn the managet he has inherited a team which is all over the show and with a couple additions it might kickstart us but we will have to wait and see.Not often that yo and I agree, but I agree with that.
And even if it doesn’t sort it, some grown men on here really want to calm down and get something proper in their lives to worry about.
For reasons only the club will know, they have been honest with the player and told him he will not play as many games as he has done in the past. Unfortunately in all walks of life this happens, I struggle to go on a drinking spree more than once a week these days. I used to go out every night as a late teenager up to my late twenties and still got up for a 6-2 shift.Gerrard has obviously not liked the situation and feels like he doesn’t want to play a game, rest a game.
There has been many a debate on here about the manager seeing these players train and perform in training matches, so are more likely to know if they are good enough to play or not, Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers are no different.
Gerrard has been a fantastic player and ambassador for both Liverpool Football Club and England for the past 16 years or so, but his legs are going.
I have mixed views on this, part of me is saying I don’t blame him for buggering off to the USA, if he wants to play on a weekly basis, but on the other hand I’m thinking, accept the inevitable you soft barsteward. Why not help the new kids on the block develop at Anfield by just strutting your stuff now and again and be around them day to day on the training pitch.
Oh, and you were doing so well, up until that last paragraph. What is stopping him doing what you suggest after his 2 years in America? In fact, he has already said he would love to come back to the club in some kind of coaching capacity.
I think what Donny would like to see (in fact I know it because he made the same argument when Kevin Keegan retired) is Gerrard giving something back to football by playing in the lower leagues or taking a management job at Prescott Cables. But, of course, like Beckham before him, he’s too much of a Billy Big Bollox to dirty his hands like that.
Or he may feel he is still fit enough and good enough to carry on playing the game he loves something which Liverpool don’t agree with. Donny started this thread by claiming Gerrard was disloyal and greedy when the fact is it is the football club who cannot give the player his wish to see out his playing days at the place he loves. Like griff said earlier I also don’t particularly like the guy but to call him greedy and disloyal is wide of the mark.
As for moving down the leagues well it doesn’t happen anymore and anyway how do you know he wont after his spell in the States.[/quote]
Because he has stated that he would love to comeback to Liverpool in some sort of coaching capacity. But that can’t happen because he’s a greedy, disloyal bastard who wouldn’t dream of giving something back to a club that he has bled dry for 20 years.
Think I’ve been 4 times all nil nilI’d take the same tomorrow I reckon
I’d take 0-0 from now until the end of the season, certainly away from home!
Not a bad article Griff, pity you had, you had, you had, to spoil it with a bit of the old Fred Elliott’s in the Frank Lampard bit.What have I told you about getting your mates to proof read your work, a said what have I told you……. :P :lol:
Oh, did I, did I? ;)
I was a bit up against the clock this week, so it was all a bit rushed. Thanks for the heads up, though Filmoss will be on your case – it’s usually him that points out my proofing errors.
Here’s my take on them, with assorted name drops inserted:I’ve met Gary Neville several times through work (CLANG) and I’ve always found him to be a decent bloke, however, I can confirm his dad is an absolute tool.
I briefly chatted with Lampard and John Terry (CLANG, CLANG) at the Hilton hotel in Athens prior to their match against Olympiakos as they knew the people I was with. Both were really chatty and seemed decent enough. (Incidentally, the people I was with were Walter Smith and Ally McCoist… CLANG, CLANG)
Beckham: never met him, but I had lunch with his mum, sister and Ashley Cole’s mum (CLANG-ish) in Katowice, Poland, then sat with them for the England game. Which was nice.
Never met Bale, but I’d be happy to look like a monkey for the amount of money he’s earning.
Crouch: I used to work with Portsmouth. He always said hello or good morning, and was one of the most approachable of the players they had. Again, seemed like a decent lad. His wife once sat on the row in front of me at a game and she spend the entire match with her head down, texting.
Can you keep the noise down please, you clanging bastard!
Bale has always had a look of Zoonie the Lazoon off ‘Fireball XL5’ and got ridiculed even before he rose to the top of the pile!As for Crouch, he is gonna get ridicule for his height
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, eh?
p.s. does he really stop for a chat with you (Caldwell that is not CupWinners)I don’t recall saying that I normally converse with him. Usually, I stand there tapping my wrist (ooh-er!) until he and his sorry band of ne’er-do-wells get off my pitch.
I leave all that to my agent……

Not really. If he is nobbing off, that’s good enough for me ;)
Oh Griff, I’m no fan of the Daily Mail but this seems like a pretty authoritative account to me of what you call an “old wives’ tale”Oh well, if it’s in the Daily Mail…
