Also why we signed Diouf instead of Anelka...
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. -
We've all made a cunt of ourselves over a whole array of signingsOriginally posted by Fredo View PostI watched a lot of French football at the time and I was convinced he'd be a world class player. I was over the moon when we signed him.
Yep. It's mad cos he went from being brilliant in the transfer market to pretty catastrophic. I didn't know a single fan who wanted us to **** Anelka off, least of all replace with him Diouf (although he did look brilliant in the World Cup). He was incredibly close to the holy grail.Originally posted by Irishnev View PostThanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

He had a good crack at it for 6 years, and came very, very close.
He lost his way a bit in the last season, and as mentioned that is for another time. He won some trophies. He definitely brought in modern sporting attitudes to the club in the same way Wenger did at Arsenal only with slightly less success. But that was the moment the old 'boot room' got cleared out and the new modern club arrived.
One thing I had never really thought about until today was what a thoroughly nice chap he seemed, almost too nice for the cutthroat world of Football management. A real gentleman.
73 is really no age at all these days so it is incredibly sad that he has gone.Modifying post.Comment

baitman sent me this pic cos to share he's so useless at modern life
What a great pic.
On the left, 2nd row from the bottom. Gérard Houllier, teacher at Alsop Comprehensive School in Liverpool, 1969-70.
During his time working at the school he first stood on the Kop in September 1969 to see Liverpool beat Dundalk 10-0.

That's lovely. I'm overwhelmed with sadness, I must admit. I always find death hard to deal with. I'm half expecting someone on social media to call me a mawkish cunt, but honestly - what is the point of sport, music and other arts, when it's affected your life so profoundly, if you can't grieve and feel real huge loss for those people that you may not have ever known, or even met, when they die. If you can't feel these things then what's the ****ing point of any of this tbh.Last edited by Shaggy; 15-12-20, 12:15 AM.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

What about when he just went **** it and signed two keepers on the same day to replace the chronically **** WesterveldOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostI remember Cheyrou making his debut in a pre-season friendly v Lazio (?) at Anfield and he looked an absolute world beater, literally strutting around rolling his foot over the ball like Zidane. Told all my mates he was going to be a sensation.

Great post Shaggy. You’re completely right. I didn’t have time to process and mourn him today and now it’s hitting probably much like you when watching these clips or remembering the great moments of the time. We’re all probably relatively of the same age and have gone through all the ups and down of the club over the past 30 years and Ged was a massive part of that. Some of what he brought to the club are one of my best memories of watching our club.Are we winning?Comment

Charlton should have been 2 or 3 up half time
I went ballistic when Fowler scored that overhead kick. Second half we were fantastic.Are we winning?Comment

Danny Murphy gets a lot of stick for his comments etc (most of the criticism is OTT, especially considering he’s an ex Liverpool player and a Liverpool supporter) but that tribute to Houllier was wonderful. I had no idea about Houllier the man and the influence he had on his players. We’re a better club because of Houllier.Originally posted by Fredo View PostAnother MASSIVE game
