Bears Influence on the Entertainment Industry

With the new controversy over the Metallica set at Glastonbury this year due to his James Hertfield Bear Hunting habits ...It strikes me that Bear's  are not with out voice in the entertainment industry. The humble Teddy Bear Paddington would Johnathan Creek of worn a duffle coat if not for that bear .  The Hair Bear bunch the Metallica from an earlier era . The Bear's that apparently Care who know doubt  made someone a load of dosh from.... Then of course Yogi with his laid back theft of humans food....They do a lot of thieving Bear's may -be  James Hetfield got his candy bar robbed by a bear as kid who knows .  But the strangest Bear entertainment related story concerned our favorite Boston Bar comedy Cheers .....Maybe James Hetfields was a Timothy Treadwell fan .....who ??? I hear you ask ....Timothy was plunged into alcoholism and Heroin addiction  after he was pipped to post for the role of Woody Boyd in the sit-com . The role of course went to Woody Harrelson launching him into a star spangled career. After that crushing disappointment and to cure his addiction. He became interested in Bear's well more to the point Grizzlies.So he went and spent 13 summers on his own in the Alaskan wilderness with Grizzlies ( the way you do ) . But in 2003 while filming the fly on the wall film Grizzly Man he turned his back on a Bear for a split second and the Bear took his head off . So has  James Hetfield a secret hate against Woody Harrelson that he takes out on Bears . Was he a freind of Timothy Treadwell and after all the help he had given Bears they still took his head off ... Sending James Hetfields

Timothy Treadwell

into a Bear killing frenzy .....(wot a great title for Metallica track ) .But if Metallica get kicked of the Glastonbury line up ...which I very much doubt ....Getting replaced by Cold Play then Chris Martin gets attacked by someone  in a Bear Suit ......You heard it here first .Well if that happens I think we will all have more of a soft spot for Bears .  Bit of nonsense from Norm .....cheers

LIVERPOOLS SEASON 2013-14 REVIEW

 As one bet is binned another one is written YNWA JFT96  

you know it makes sense 

Well it’s been a roller coaster ride from start to finish and its true to say Liverpool gave me a run for my money. The bet was Liverpool to win the league £20 at 33-1 it was binned last night. But it was the 1^st time I had bet on Liverpool to win the League for a decade…Having been going to Anfield since the age of 8 the football gods must have told me it was not money wasted. Though the slip was not handed over the counter the money was not in the wallet. The slip was still valid on the last game of the season. For Gerrard it came in the statement “at the age of 33 for the 1^st time I can truly say I been involve in a true title showdown” .

For most of the season Liverpool were firing on all cylinders. With goals galore from a slick attack from Suarez and Sturridge after Suarez had missed the part of the season due to suspension. All this was being fed by a very mobile midfield of Coutinho Henderson and Sterling. With Gerrard dropping off into a Pirlo roll just in front of the 2 central defenders with his ball distribution being probably the best of his career. For me in this role he has a couple of good seasons ahead.

But with that role comes danger it encourages the opponents to push through midfield so the defence has got to be on their game. The defence was always the cylinder miss firing as Liverpool went into the mode we will just score more goals than you.  You score 3 we will score 5 …Great for the neutral but along with the Chelsea game cost Liverpool the league. Also for me Mignolet suffered from this phase.

As for the Chelsea game we just needed a draw so that was down to the manager ….For Chelsea a draw was no good it was not rocket science Brendon . But I am sure he will admit that in time. So Liverpool aimed for top 4 they nearly Koped the lot. So all in all a success it was just a bit of a downer Liverpool had one hand on the trophy ….

So next season Liverpool go shopping …..The difference is now Liverpool has more bargaining power …..Not just Champions League football but title contenders also regeneration of the ground the club is going places. Liverpool’s bargaining power has been based on promises. Which many top players have not bought into …hence losing out to Liverpool’s main rivals …But it also gives us the chance to be more care full with money getting good deals like Suarez and Sturridge….

 Which will fall into the owner’s cautious strategy. After this season there will be a lot of top players wanting to come to Liverpool. So all that has to be built into showing how much of a success this season has been. The future looks good…. but if this season was important ……It is nothing like how important next season is going to be ……The Football World needs to watch this space.

Which Bands Will Fill… The Glasto…Football Death Slot ???

Watching England at Glasto 

One thing is always the same about Glasto over the years is it clashes with another world famous festival. Yes I am talking about the festival of football known as the World Cup. Six weeks of football mayhem with all terrestrial T.V stations giving it the up most coverage. More so in this country when England qualify. ….Its flags out of the windows on cars as we live in hope… That we will not be knocked out again on penalties by the Germans.

As I have been working at Glasto for over 30 years. The clashing of the two events is not strange. As well as the Euro’s so it happens with regularity. The festival has accommodated with the open air cinema field up by the John Peel Stage showing the games. Which drew huge crowds for the England games that fell in the 3 days of entertainment. This however this has disappeared over the last 3 years to be replaced by the cinema tent in the Acoustic field. Which brings me to the conclusion if that stays the same …….In true movie tradition …”THEY ARE GOING NEED A BIGGER TENT “. In the event of England getting out of the group stages this year.

So all though the majority of people going to Glasto come for the music and other great entertainment. There is a huge amount of people follow football. As can be seen by the amount of flags and shirts that are football orientated you can see moving round the site. This love of the game as an entertainment has and I am sure will be catered for. So it would be no surprise to me if this year would see the return of the outside cinema field. Over the years it has been a great spectacle of 20.000 plus people watching a footie game in a Somerset field.

But who will take the hit…  In other words which bands will get the… Football Death Slot. Over the years I cannot remember the bands that had this slot in the past ….Which in its self says a lot…. forgettable. But if memory serves me right they always seem to be American bands. Maybe someone can spread more light on this????......But considering the crowds where not tiny there was a considerable drop in attendance for that slot. But this year with the World Cup being in Brazil the slot falls in prime time so a big name could take a hit. This could create a lot of schedule headaches as band management try to avoid this slot on the 3 main stages ….

So what are the key times ………..Well if England get to the knock-out stages. The both slots will fall at 9.00pm. If they win their group it will be on the Sunday the 29^th. But more likely considering the strength of the group runners up will play on the Saturday 28^th. So both of the slots are major affecting 3 top bands. It would be interesting to hear the views of people on who they would be before the line-up comes out officially. Most people would have a good idea who the main acts will be by now. Who like or not it will affect number of people watching their slot. So after those acts are put in the dreaded slots they will be cheering on.  Costa Rica’ Uruguay ‘Italy. If England get knocked out in the group stages none of this will matter as it is a very strong group . But in the past the harder the group the better England plays. Good to hear your thoughts on this.

Flexibility the Key

I made a statement to my mates before the Arsenal game last Saturday……”If we won at Arsenal then Liverpool  would win the League” ……Well I am not saying  that we will not but managerial naiveties have doubted my certainty . The fact that Cissokho was thrown in at the deep end…… With the pull out of Johnson due to illness. Leaving…. arguably are best defender Agger on the bench  . So BR went with the 3 center back we have been playing over the last few weeks . It played right into Wenger's hands as the instructions must have been lean on Cissokho   . They did and Liverpool never looked like winning the game. With the late pull out of Johnson maybe we should of put Sturridge on the bench with a start for Coutinho . We looked a lot more inventive after he was introduced ….After all we were playing Arsenal away . With only playing one striker up front  that would of sewn up mid-field frustrating Arsenal  . After all how many times last Season did Suarez fill that role

So I think BR still has a lot to learn about how to set up in different situations ……..He did get it wrong for the Arsenal game . As for the game on Saturday against Fulham we should have a full squad available …..The 3 center back situation needs looking at it can be undone …So I would like to see a bit more flexibility in BR’s selection for Saturdays Fulham game . So we can bounce back right away.

END OF THE FOOTIE BLOGS 2012/13season

I end this year of footie blogs on a sad note. As a diehard Liverpool supporter I understand the views of the modern day pansy supporters. But I fail to summit to them. You get a player who wants to play…. But some types clamber for football easy glory. Like the player who spends time on his hair or gang rapes women after a night club binge.

But surely that is not right. As we line up on a Sunday morning with hang overs from the night before. After losing the previous 8 games .But maybe I am mislead as …  Roy Keane shouts out you prawn sandwich twat. That fucker was right.

The truth is for the first time in my life my club are losing a player because of shit. It is his job to be a football player. A football player he was. What is the game turning into? We pay thousands of pounds in entry fees not to mention the travel. To watch football players play football ….Hard committed players giving 100%. Honest from all parts of the world the best players. When they quote it is my job … To right it is your  job.  For all of us …WHAT YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ROLLER BALL …..It is better on the pitch than on the street…….

We are Human beings ….              What happens on football on the pitch stays on the pitch ….If you think different you are a knob...Do not say think of the kids or you are a bigger knob ...We pay to watch the players who are the best at their job. The difference we hope they don’t get injured but they always do …. Only a few players never get injured …….(tends to spook the pretend  players ) ……Very rare that players give 100% in every game they play and never get injured …….Think on media don’t mess with the game to much …Otherwise your dinner will be missing from the table .

THIS IS DEDICATED TO Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz

We Must Retake the Throne

Another frustrating season bites the dust. With only a slight improvement on the previous season. With a closed season of anticipation already set in we tick the days off on the calendar.But can we add tempt or keep hold of are main assets to be a part of the squad next season??

With no European football at Liverpool Football Club next year it is going to be interesting. All are emphasis has got to be on clean sweep of domestic success. If it is there to win we must win it. Anyone who we want to keep or buy in we must convince them of a short sharp 2 year plan. Then the club can start moving forward at pace we are accustom with.   

The owners (FSG) can really start the ball rolling with this movement by nailing the refurbishment plans for Anfield with some solid start dates. It will help to persuade quality players to take a chance to be part of something big.  The Suarez situation if we can keep him for the start of the next season and he gets some games under his belt, I think it will be OK.But he will need some help as I said in a earlier blog http://styfnorm.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/suarez-value-for-money.html  . 

The kid needs to play football a lot of football. But with the retirement of the Legend that is Jamie Carragher we need a centre back cover. I think we could get Lugano in for a year on the cheap. He is on loan at Malaga from PSG at the moment becomes a free agent in June. Surly the captain of Uruguay could add some stability to Suarez. Plus Lugano could play a roll like McAllister did some years back we won 5 cups that year. 

Next season I would be happy if we added 4 quality players to the squad. A striker holding midfielder…. play maker midfielder.. and a centre back. With a huge push on the youth policy to bring 3 or 4 through that is in the perfect world. But now we can only dream with wish teams. But we all know it is going to be a huge season for the future of the club.

Ø Hillsborough inquiry
Ø Anfield Refurbishment
Ø Premiership Top 4 at least
Ø At least 1 domestic trophy
Ø Suarez his future
Ø 4 Quality players in 4 home grown players through the ranks

The Throne of English Football back.

Huge Derby day

 TO MAKE YOUR OWN FORMATIONS AND TACTICS ...FREE & SHARE AT http://www.yourtactics.com/

Today is a day for Glen Johnson to be on top of his game. His forward runs will have to be timed to perfection. Everton’s main threat comes on the left through Pienaar and Baines. If Johnston gets caught in no man’s land we will be punished. He has to be on top of his game.
 If so Downing can push on more to link better with Sturridge. Coutinho has turned into a more striking player with his tracking back impressive also. So Liverpool will be playing today with 2 strikers. Gerrard will play in a deeper role with Lucas …with Everton’s midfield being as strong as it is. This derby will be won on discipline. A win today I can see Liverpool finishing above Everton.
Whatever happens it will be feisty as it always is …..
Norm YNWA JFT96   

Life without Suarez

After all the over the top shit about Suarez all week it is now back to the football for the Reds. Suarez is going to be a big hole to fill’ but upwards an onwards with Newcastle on Saturday. It is giving Sturridge the chance to shine.

He made a big difference against Chelsea when he came on. He is a clever player and getting stronger. He also has not had the chance to have a full game playing with an equally clever Coutinho. So after all the negativity this week this something all red supporters can look forward to. So how will Brendan Rodgers set up for the Newcastle game???.

This formation and tactics looks favourite. With the question how fit is Borini.He could link up well with Sturridge. If you’re thinking different you can make and post your own up anywhere using http://www.yourtactics.com/ free & share 

Suarez value for money

As I have documented in many previous blogs I have watched Suarez for over 5 years.  He lives for his wife little girl and Football. He never gets injured trains 7 days a week and gives 100% every game he plays. Now compare that too many football players who are on 100 grand a week strolling round the pitch as the money rolls in.

From the pockets of people who are struggling to make ends meet. You get your money’s worth with Suarez week in week out. He might have gone over the top with his passion in the Chelsea game. But at the end of the day his buzz comes on pitch. Not from some tacky night spot fast cars picking up bimbos drinking shagging around …getting nicked. His passion is football which makes him a footballer who really does earn footballs high wage packet.

Unlike the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, to name but one who walks round in a lazy daze getting paid over a 100 grand for his trouble. But he is just one there are many players in the Prem who are biting the hands that feed them. They are ripping the supporters off which is one thing that is defiantly not  true of Suarez .
As for the incident in the Chelsea game . I have been watching Suarez in the last couple of games. I could see this happening he has got a lot of pent up passion. For the simple reason he not playing enough competitive football.

 He is at his best when he is playing 3 games week with a 3 time zone flight in the middle . The first 2 thirds of the season he was doing that on a regular basis. Happy…. playing well basically carrying Liverpool while still banging them in for Uruguay.

But with Liverpool having steadily falling out of competitions his game schedule has ground to a halt. A huge frustration to player like Suarez. It all came out in the biting incident not good ….But just as a smack head will rob your house to feed his/hers habit, The lack of football has sadly   had the same bad effect on Suarez. I have seen it happen to him before. Liverpool as a club must help him with this problem’ keep him round the anger he is a special footballer. Build a team round him so he is playing competitive games 3 times a week 8 months a year. That is all the lad wants.

Before the Chelsea game I thought Suarez would be sold. But now I am not so sure. We Liverpool Football Club are part of his family. We pull together for our own as the whole football world knows so well . For his effort and commitment he has given to the club he deserves no less .

NOT ENOUGH GAMES SYNDROME

To make your own formation and tactics go to 

http://www.yourtactics.com/ FREE & SHARE 

Well here Liverpool go again on a mini winning streak. West Ham next with a slim chance left of a top 4 finish. With injury’s to Bale and Gallas on Thursday Tottenham’s job to maintain form looks harder. Rafa at Chelsea and the amount of games they are playing any think is possible. Not to mention we play Chelsea and Everton. So the Everton v Tottenham game at the weekend a draw would be good.  West Brom host Arsenal who are no mugs at the Hawthorn’s as Liverpool found out the first match of the season.

But all this aside we have to win the West Ham game on Sunday. As I take my seat on Sunday I will not have the right to win attitude about me. I have got to get out of that habit things have changed at the moment. But I am sure they will return but for now there is always the air of doubt.
One of the main problems I think facing Liverpool is the fact we are playing very few games. More so for the likes of Suarez. Who would be happy playing 5 games a week, then sill get bored on the other two days . I don’t think I have not known Liverpool to have so few games. So hopefully new tactics and longer to work on them is going to prove fruit full. Well we will see on Sunday at least there is no Andy Carroll to worry about.

For the team itself you would be foolish to change it from the Villa game. I thought it was a solid performance  our first touch was a bit off , But that is a symptom of having  very few games.  We have NOT ENOUGH GAMES SYNDROME …….So it makes sense to play a team that is more accustom to playing competitive games. We must keep up are end of the bargain by getting a solid win on Sunday then hope someone slips up its happened before .

Your Tactics Explained

As you may know or not know I have been pushing the formation creator web site  http://www.yourtactics.com/ . The reason apart from being a neat little free site covering 8 major worldwide sports.

The only site of its kind to do that.

But yes it is my sons Liverpool University project.

So perfect I can help him with that.  We live breathe football so we are just adding 7 more sports to our conversation list. As I took him to Anfield for the 1^st time when he was 6 we have took on more sports to banter about in the pre and after match pint .But the Sharing of formations round the world has been good.

 Putting formations on the Boston Red Socks Facebook page gets reactions. After all Liverpool are linked to the club. Is it more than a game of rounder’s?  Do formations post them and find out.
The most popular sports for formation uploads so far have been of course Football.  In a close second has been the Finnish with their Ice Hockey. They are mad for it as they say. Then.... Rugby League it is the most interesting formation lay out.

 So what I do is go to Wikipedia swot up on the rules. Then post a formation on whatever sport to Twitter Facebook etc.  .
He is working on new feature to the formations which will be good. So if you have been getting bombarded with me going on about your tactics this is a few reasons why. Cracking little site and I am proud because it’s my boys.
