    It was in Guillem Ballagues book I think (or one of the ones that came out about RB & Istanbul) but as I recall he was loitering outside the dressing room & was actually invited in by RB....

      He was rightly proud that most of his old team had won the CL. Good on him for joining in the celebrations, but he should not come out with this crap about lack of funds because if Rafa was backed the same way we would have No.19 in the bag by now.

        Diouf aint a bad player and after the world cup we'd all thought he'd pulled a blinder out of the bag.


        I like Ged 2001 was a great year.
        Its times like these we learn to live again FF

          The 'Gems' werent bad players - some of the top clubs in europe were after them...

          I remember the Mancs being gutted that they chose us ahead of them

          Shame we couldnt bring them on properly

          Was Pongo any worse than Voronin?

            I agree they weren't developed as well as they should have been, I still thought Pongolle could have been decent for us, LeTallec was a bit of a waster though
            The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

              Aye, Pongo was a nice little player-cant see how voronin or pennant are an improvement at all & he could play in both postions.

              As for GH, well was happy for him to celebrate with the lads, but he should keep quiet after the money he spunked. Wonder if THicks sponsored him to say that.

                  If only we'd kept him a little longer.

                      ****ing Houllier. Played some of the most dire football towards the end of his reign. Spent millions on Cheyrou, Diao and Diouf. If he'd taken that whole season off, Thommo would have won us the title

                        hear hear again, what's happened to you

                        I became sewiously disillusioned with LFC having to put up with that dour ****e style of play every week. I mean I wouldn't mind if we hadn't got the quality but we had, it was just as if he wouldn't let them go out and play. unbelievable.

                          **** should have kept Anelka and bought Duff instead of Diouf, Diao and Cheyrou

                            All the pathetic excuses made me sick and tired of this guy. I still am when recalling his two last seasons in charge.

                              1. torres isn't french
                              2. torres isn't french-african


                              had ged signed torres, he'd probably be playing left back for us...with Biscan in the centre. Also, Ged would be going on about how he "discovered" torres..... blah blah blah....

                              the one thing I read about Ged that really made me cringe was after Istanbul, he went into the dressing room to celebrate with the team. It was like he was the manager apparently.... really embarrassing for the guy from what I've heard....

                              i am not totally bashing him, but you have to admit, Ged really lost the plot towards the end of his tenure here... had he left after he had the banger, then he would be a legend.....


                              I think it says a lot about his reign that our best points per game ratio under him was when he was in hospital and Thommo was in charge. Come to think of it, Thommo has the best points per game ratio since Dalglish - including Benitez..


                              Houllier took us from being marginal title challengers to also rans challenging for fourth place, and we never recovered. Such was the value destruction he was responsible for, you could almost say that it forced Moores hand into selling the club.

                                In the summer of 2002, if he have bought Duff and Anelka instead of Diouf, Diao and Cheyrou I think Houllier would still be manager of LFC.
