FOOTBALLERS ARE NOT BANKERS

News and media channels recently have tried to compare footballers wages with the wages and bonuses that bankers receive . With the argument  why be upset at the money bankers get when footballers are on £200.000k a week .

GAZZA IN HIS PRIME

Personally I could not give a toss how much footballers get paid . For me they have just got to tick one box that when that white line is crossed they give a 100% for the club . I don't care if they were crossing white lines of an other sort the night before in a other club . Out with this model or that bimbo drinking this or drinking that as long as they give there all and do the job on the pitch . If they do not deliver this well they are up the road many  footballer has ended up on the scrap heap in their early 20s. No pension plan there or if there was it has a good chance of being wiped out by the actions of greedy bankers . If a footballers career lasts any where near  20years  he or she will be very lucky . So they very much have to keep one eye on the future . So big wages boot deals media appearances go along way to putting minds at rest . So they can give their best for what ever club they are involved with.

GAZZA NOT ALL THAT LONG AFTER

Bankers get huge wages bonuses for what ever happens as the credit crunch proves . Bankers careers can last  50 years plus plenty of time to financially secure their family's for generations to come. With one stroke of a pen or push of a button. so to compere the two occupations is ridiculous .

BOB DIAMOND THE PARASITE THEN

BOB DIAMOND THE PARASITE NOW

Footballers are the same as the working class supporter . They just get a large sums of money over a sort period of time . Which in most cases has got to be used wisely to finance the rest of their lives .. Countless footballers have fell on stoney ground and will continue to do so . You very rarely hear of bankers who have ended up that way  . With Footballers we pay for skill . With bankers we pay for every think WANKERS

Suarez v Soulless hole (Old Trafford)

 Today when Suarez plays it will change Old Trafford . Here are a few things that are normal on match days.

*No atmosphere . (including when they play liverpool)

**void of any meaningfull or witty songs .

***There are no songs

****Lack of abillty to get behind the team. The song "YOU ONLY SING WHEN YOUR WINNING" had to of been created with Old Trafford in mind.

*****Strange Smell stays in the nostrals for days after .

*******To sum it up in one simple statment is


ITS A FUCKING SOUL-LESS HOLE (on a hiped up industrial estate

Today all attention will be on Suarez . He can change Old Trafford back to being to a Soul-less hole in one swift move . They will be more worried about that every time he gets the ball.I have watched Suarez play for three years now. He will relish that fact and nail them . The Mancs will be watching Suarez more than their own players he will love that . He will take it as a cup final bide his time and punish them.......


OLD TRAFFORD WILL NEVER BE THIS!!!!

Harry Redknapp or Arthur Daley

What are we going get with Harry Redknapp him or Arthur Daley . Or do we care. Well on the Arthur Daley front Harry is Arthur and we love him for it . We all know he is a lover able rogue the public and collegues take him under their protective wings. We seem to know his faults but love him for that. His wheeler dealer ways are legendary in the transfer merry go round . Making shrewd moves for players as if he was buying and selling cars. He bends the rules slightly but as with Arthur Daley every one around him takes that for granted . As for minders he has got everyone round him they will all naturally protect him from whatever . As the recent court case has just shown . So will it be good for England???

Yes when a team want to protect a manager you tend to get a fighting team . Harrys teams always show fight if any team needs that England do .


So what is against him taking the England job I should imagain he would take a lot of people with him . It is no secret that Harry likes a gang round him . Its most certain it will be jobs for the boys. He has already said in the past he might get bored without the day to day training. Interaction with the players and lack of competitive games .


But as with Arthur Daley the person who will have the final say will be

HER IN DOORS . Mrs Redknapp

Street Footie Liverpool style

Liverpool team training in the main stand car park 

Growing up in Liverpool playing football in the street . I would oftern wondered who invented the diffrent types of games we played. I remember being told by one of my older in the know mates that a lot of them stemed from Melwood . This has always stuck in my head so with Mellwood always being on the telly I have decided to investagate.

The one game that is most likley to have a conection to Mellwood that I can put my finger on is S.P.O.T . A one touch game you had to score in a chalk drawn goal on a wall . If you missed you were on S . The next player would have a easy penlty shot to start again .(Sort of football squash) When you reached SPOT you were out. I remember full stops commers and underlining comming into play for longer games.



At Melwood there was four large wooden walls that the players would use. So I can see that one having some wieght behind it. At Melwood Shankly introduced fitness training, including diet assessment, and skills training including using an artificial goal painted on a convenient wall, split into eight sections which he would demand the players hit each time.

Sixty Seconds was a another game (Headers and volleys and Goalkeeper training) The keeper counts to sixty when he concedes from a header or a full volley he starts from zero . But the strikers have to score twice and so on. When the keeper reaches sixty the strikers have only one chance when a strikers misses he goes in goal...It was rumored Keegan and Toshack would train this way a lot it makes sense

Who knows is that what Suarez and Surridge are up to at the moment. It would be great if they could get to the level that Keegan and Toshack did.

There was also a five a side game we would play called saddles were you would have to hit the goal posts instead of scoring goals.Double score if you hit the bar It was also two touch so the movement was the key to the game not a game for the unfit . So did this game have its origin on the fields of Melwood I don,t know . But if so we should stop using it now the number times we have hit the woodwork this season.


Then there was 3 and in (Wembley down south) The game that is know for the quicker you score the quicker you rest . The way games pan out rest is so important. (Its is a knackering game) I could not imagine what it would be like to play with top class professionals


So have these games got links with pro football training camps??? .

WHAT DO YOU THINK ????? DID YOU PLAY ANY OTHER STREET FOOTIE GAMES

Suarez now an other sting to our bow

SUAREZ IS NOW BACK

We have managed well without Suarez. But in the run up to ban although Suarez was his usual pain in the arse for opposition defenders . Our play was getting predictable every think was going through Suarez. He was getting noticeably frustrated with a huge risk of burn out possibly injury.

Now he has been rested having time to watch his team from the sidelines . We have changed tactics a few times in his absence whether we shut up shop or grinded teams down . With the exception of the Bolton game. (What the fuck happened there) We now have 3 or 4 different playing styles that will keep teams guessing . Instead of lets just feed Suarez all our opponents where getting happy with that . I am sure Suarez videos where top of the play lists in training grounds up and down the country . We were in danger of becoming a one trick pony .

Now if all goes to plan we will be anything but a one trick pony. Suarez is a very cleaver player as well as a amazing natural talent. He personally will have many new ideas to break defenses down . Having had eight games to study his team mates in detail. So what has his Uruguayan mind got in store for the opposition "who knows".

The great Liverpool sides of the past had one think in common they where always of top quality but most of all unpredictable . They would have a least five different ways they could play . Switching to whatever system was needed to win the game . VERY FEW TEAMS HAD THE CAPABILITY TO DEAL WITH THIS.


With the team using different systems over the past couple of months and getting results things are moving forward . With the return of Suarez things could rocket forward. In past 2 months the team has stayed tight and showed some teeth. Now with Suarez back in tow we will be now showing our fangs. I don't think other teams can handle that who ever they are . Leading me to the comment

"THE BIG RED WOLF IS BACK"
