He's removed the links, but I still have the link to his LinkedIn profile in my history. I could send him a message on twitter and tell him to either make a donation to an anti racism campaign (and provide proof on twitter), or I'll forward his details on to his local Garda Station

Do that, it would be epic!!

Hes favoring tweets to highlight peoples reaction to the Suarez thing. Abit much from some people. Some of it is sickening. Like fair enough im still supporting him 100% but that stuff from so called fans doesnt help.

That is actually disgusting.

I don't really go on Twitter anymore but it really is a cesspit at times like this. Poor ould Collymore is getting loads of it, but he's got loads of it from Chelsea and loads of other club fans before. Its amazing these attitudes still exist, football attracts them too but some are a bit thick as you see. They might get away with it in a stand but cases around Twitter comments are increasingly common.

I love twitter, but keep a fairly low profile on it. It seems to me that as soon as you're active enough on there or famous enough, you get the worst it has to offer in the form of @mentions and DMs. The rest of the time, these morons can easily be ignored, which is the least they deserve.

Only got round to fixing forum access recently. When I read this thread one thing always struck me as strange. Posters were mentioning players, usually strikers, who are around the thirty mark. Don't the current owners have a stated policy of buying younger players and cashing in when they've peaked. I remember them saying that Gerrard's and Carragher's contracts were exceptions. The club was not going to pay older players top money in the future. Bellamy was a free transfer. Kuyt is there because it would be bad form to offload him. Maxi is also there out of loyalty and a wish not to throw the baby out with the bath water. The recent links with Coleman would suggest to me that Johnson will be cashed in on soon.

Everytime I see a link to Villa, Torres, Podolski or Huntelaar I check their date of birth. Thats why I can see them going for the brazilian Damiao (sp?). Young with resale potential. He'd be the man they need just to calmly put the effin' thing in the back of the net.

Reina
Johnson Agger Skrtel Enrique
Adam Spearing
Gerrard
Kuyt Bellamy
Carroll

If Gerrard isn't fit, bring in Henderson and swap him with Adam.

On paper that doesn't look too bad. What about Downing though? Shelvey's form could give Kenny a selection headache.

Welliton. 25 years of age. Bangs goals in.

I'm probably gonna get slated for this, but if and when stevie comes back, we should play him as a striker. He is the best finisher at the club, and I feel if we had him on the end of those chances we would defo be fourth or higher now. Thoughts anyone?

Sure, yeah. His games to goals ratio on wiki is proof enough for me. Will check his compilation film on youtube later. Thats the real acid test of any potential signing!

Wiki is no good for him mate as it does not have any of his stats for cup and European games it only has his league games.


I prefer to get all my footy knowledge on Football manager or Fifa12.:D

I'm not accusing anyone. I proudly stating my use of wiki and youtube in sourcing potential strikers ;-). Don't play computer games, or whatever the young ones call them nowadays. Otherwise FIFA Manager would be on there too.

No, I'm sure he has extensive knowledge of the Russian, Brazilian, Belgian and Norwegian divisions, and all the budding talent around the world, as well as watching all CL group stage matches. Either that, or middlemen and shifty cigar smoking types in sheepskin coats, contact him in the snakepit of their elected trade.

At the end of the day, I remeber Football Manager 2005 predicting Daniel Sturridge, at 16, was gonna be great.

Also fairly sure Everton signed a deal with the makers of Football Manager (Sports Interactive) to use their database when recruiting players.

I need to go back playing FM

And just to back up my ludicrous claim about Everton! linky

I remember Dalglish 2011 predicting Carroll was going to be great.
