The Reds in Asia thread

[Shaggy]

Any stuff like pics of the lads training or whatever...try and keep it to this thread.

The Reds have touched down where they were apparently greeted by 'scenes of hysteria, reminiscent of Beatlemania'...

The stadium we're training in is called The Mong Cock Stadium. ...albeit with a slightly different spelling

I read that too and whilst I have no idea what Beatlemania would have been like in HK I'm sure it would have involved more than the 50 or so people that turned up for the Scum in Korea and which Sky also referred to as something like "hysterical scenes".

So what I don't understand is why SSN repeatedly showed Man Ure's arrival in SE Asia last week yet (so far as I'm aware) there was no mention at all of us turning up there today.

Oh but they did manage to keep replaying an interview with Queiroz droning on endlessly about Tevez . . . . . . . . . . . . .:whatever:

Of all the pictures of Gerrard, that has to be the worst one! And it's even made in to a poster (or something) ... His pictures started to suck after he started to do **** with his hair

But anyways, it's great to see him holding the sign of "4 hoursemen" that the infamous Chris Benoit was once a member of

I hate Sky Sports News. it's a horrible tabloid show. The whole channel is sensationaised bollocks.

as for us turning up in Hong Kong the only photos I've seen are the ones you've shown, shaggy because the offal doesn't really have much on it.

I thought they would have had pictures of it all over the site today. Perhaps tomorrow they'll show a bit more.

It's slightly ****e that the offal aren't showing these pics - I had to hunt for them and go directly to Getty Images' website.

The thing that really winds me up (and I know this is a bit anal) is when they give the figure for a transfer fee or some other amount of money and never bother saying pounds so like we're expected to guess the currency. It drives me f*cking nuts.

BTW thanks for looking for the photos Shaggy.

What annoys me is things like when major stories break, like the corruption scandal last week, they give it 2 minutes and then cut straight back to ****e like Beckham training for the pub team he joined in LA. I lifted that example from the Bascombe article but he has a point. Their presenters do my nut in. I also hate that one who claims to be a red but continually reads headlines out from the ***. No ****ing morals at all.

Where'd you hear that, mate?

but like you infer it just encapsulates SSN perfectly.

Why they don't have a photographer over there that is emailing the photos back hope to be posted on the official site is beyond me.

Just remembered. When we were boarding our plane to Istanbul they had one of their presenters on the tarmack, I know her face but can't remember her name, she was asking everyone questions. Are you confident of a win? etc...

when she got to this lad stood beside me she said You're live on Sky Sports News what would you like to say? or something like that and this lad replies Sky Sports News is ****e. If you're watching this you have nothing better to do with your life.

She ****ed off quickly after that.
