Glastonbury Crew Picks (PT 1)

Well I did not get this together do it live on site. The computer speed was far too slow it would have taken forever. I would have missed every think I am sure you would not have wished that on me.  Any way home now so let see some choices.

Going to start with Robbie Swang ……. Swang is a part of Mary Macs… Meet and Greet Crew…….A crew ran by Mary for 15 years . As a link between the arriving traders and their market managers. But as you can imagine this crew deal with every think Circus’ Stages ‘Theatre’ Cabaret ‘ it is to stop the site turning into a sugar cube with ants swarming all over it . In other words utter chaos . Every one to get where they need to be as quick as poss so we can start the party . Had the pleasure of managing Swangs band SWANG PARTY IN LATE 80S still one of the best bands I have ever seen will try and dig some stuff up and put it up

Glastonbury Crew Picks

Footie stuff. is taking a back seat now because it is Glasto time. Having been part of the Glastonbury crew for 30 years some of you might have read my series of Glastonbury memories on the Blog. So this year I thought I would take time out see if I can to let the crew talk for themselves. So I will going round site in my down time hunting out as many as the original crew I can find. Then with a quick 30 second clip let them tell you their most memorable Glasto music moment over the years. Then also throw some of the 1^st time crew on… who they are looking forward to this year. Then post a clip of  their selection underneath…. Should be interesting. I will try to get them out as live as I can depending on reliable wi fi links. I will post them up on my blog . For you to have your say. I will be on site in 2 and half weeks so I might get some early ones up .  Check out all my Glasto memory pieces they are on the blog..Should be a cracker this year

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.
 For what it is worth here is my 1^st stab at my dream team for the 2013/14 seasonNorm YNWA –JFT96

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 …..

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
