just realised, why on earth aren't we on tv tomorrow for the west ham game.

And speaking of something else, related to LFC

iIhave however noticed something that is irritating me.

i have a This Is Anfield book, and in it, it speaks of the importance of the TIA plaque in the tunnel, and how the players always used to touch it before a game as they walk through, i've noticed less and less of our players through recent years actually touch the plaque. i can see images of Fowler, Owen, Gerrard and Carragher along with players like Hyypia, Finnan, Berger, Murphy all touching the plaque, nowadays, i don't think i even see ONE player touch it, occasionally a few opponent players do and then a few of ours do.

But i think its somethign Rafa should get back into the team, its part of Liverpool,and i think it should put some pride back into the team and urge them to do well in the league!

just my 2 pennies though :D

Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have rejected Dubai International Capital's ?400million bid for the Premier League club.

The offer, which would represent a ?25million profit for each of the American tycoons, was immediately turned down, an associate involved with the negotiations revealed. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

The source also suggests that Hicks had not formally rejected the offer but has made it very clear that he is unwilling to sell his share in the club.

Hicks is committed to retaining his 50 percent share in Liverpool while Gillett is reportedly willing to sell. Hicks has said he can block Gillett from selling his stake.

Although no formal statement is expected from Hicks, his stance remains the same as last month, when he said: 'Reports that I am about to sell my stake in the Liverpool Football Club, or to invite DIC to examine the club's books in preparation for such a sale - like other such reports planted in the UK press in recent weeks by parties with their own self-interested agenda - are absolutely and categorically false.

'The reality is that I am personally, professionally and financially committed to the club and its supporters and I will continue to honour that commitment to the best of my ability now and in the future.'

The American duo bought the club last year for approximately ?218m - beating a rival bid from the Dubai consortium.

Hicks also owns the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Stars.

Ahh, well I think the reason we are not on TV tomorrow is because of the Champions League games, so really they cannot fit us in. It is a bit frustrating actually that we have to wait an extra week to face Inter Milan because of the San Siro being shared, but at least we can finally get our game in hand out of the way!

Yeah, I think it would be nice to see more players touching the This Is Anfield sign. I mean, if you look back over the years so many famous names have touched the sign and I know if I was a Liverpool player I would definitely do it. Benitez respects our heritage and I see him touch the sign all the time which is nice, but I just don't think the foreign players quite understand it as much as our scousers do. If anyone should tell the players to touch the sign it should be our captain Gerrard, but then again I suppose it is up to the player themselves. Although, it is not often you get a camera inside the tunnel so more people do it than we think.

I really hope we beat West Ham tonight, it is a very important game :D

You will beat us, I think its gonna be a drumming if I have to bee honest 3-0 I think.

Liverpool's future is still unclear after co-owner George Gillett failed to agree a deal with Dubai International Capital over his 50% share in the club.

DIC has tabled a ?400m bid to take control of Liverpool from Gillett and his fellow American partner Tom Hicks.

Representatives for DIC held talks with Gillett's lawyers at a London hotel on Tuesday, with Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry also in attendance.

BBC Sport understands the talks were "cordial" but the parties remain apart.

The talks are expected to continue on a daily basis, but DIC sources stress the offer is final - and while it has not yet been agreed, Gillett has not rejected the bid out of hand.

Note earlier post when I said 4-0 and I was correct I know just how crap we really are!

But you lost that bet with your friend about Torres scoring two, he scored three ;). I would love to have Fernando Torres babies!

Oh, and Rappy. Just to get it out of the way now...4-0 HA HA!:laugh:!

Yep I didn't expect anything tho mate from that game, I have a strong feeling the board will seriously look at Curbs now and wonder whether that seat could be warmed by someone else.

Not many teams come to Anfield and expect to get anything, so don't be to down hearted.

It is an interesting situation about Curbs, I mean West Ham are 10th in the league and West Ham are at the bottom of the two mini leagues that the league seems to splitting into. You have the likes of Man City and Aston Villa above you, and do you really think you will oust them with the limited resources you have? If Curbs was to go, who would you be your first choice replacement Damien?

Yeah I mean at the moment the morale with West Ham is naturally low if you look at past results Fulham we beat 1-0 with a lucky Solano goal but the posession and actual game was equal up to that point then Chelsea stuffed us at home where we could of got something even when Chelsea had 10 men, then Liverpool where we lost 4-0 where really its clearly obvious we would lose so down heartened isnt the word I would use I would say expecting it was the word I would use. In the January window we could of bought but no Curbs rather just kept the has beens and crappy players at the club and didn't buy anyone and now thats coming back to bite him in the ass. As for new manager I think theres alot of good choices out there but I think foreign would be the way to go who I don't know but I seriously think they need to look at the club we maybe 8 points clear at 10th but its worrying we can't score or get anything from anything.

I found this on SSN and I thought it was worth posting what Gollum said...

Everton manager David Moyes has aimed a swipe at local rivals Liverpool saying he expected them to win the title - or at least finish runners-up - this season.

Just hours after returning from the disappointment of losing an Uefa Cup tie to Fiorentina Moyes has to turn his attention immediately to the race for fourth spot in the Premier League.

Everton are at struggling Sunderland on Sunday but Moyes heaped more pressure on Liverpool - who moved into fourth by beating West Ham 4-0 in midweek - by underlining the Reds' underachievement this campaign.

The Scot, named Barclays manager of the month for February, insists fourth place for Liverpool is a failure for the Anfield club.

Success

"I thought Liverpool would finish first or second this season with the additions they made; I felt they would come very close to winning the championship," said Moyes. "I think that it cannot be seen as success if Liverpool finish fourth, if Everton finish fourth then that is success.

"But it cannot be seen as success for them. Not for a side who set out to win the title or certainly come second.

"They have spent accordingly to win the title, so for them not to qualify for the Champions League is a serious problem, while it would not be for us.

"We don't budget for that - maybe in the future we might - but not at present.

"We can't really be expected to finish above Liverpool, they are the favourites.

"So if you'd said to me that with 10 games to go we would be level on points with them and they would only be ahead on goal difference I would have certainly taken that situation.

Race

"I don't even think it is a two-horse race. Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Blackburn and Manchester City can do it. We have been on a terrific run but so have the rest.

"There have not been many defeats for that group so I believe it will go all the way to the wire.

"Maybe somebody can win seven of the 10 and that would put them right in their with a chance.

"We relish the opportunity to try to prove we can be as good or close to the so-called bigger teams. We have done it before, it is not new to us."

...and no wonder everyone calls them the bitters. They are OBSESSED with Liverpool FC. If it goes wrong for Everton, it is all Everton's fault. His side just lost in "Europe" and the first thing he says is about Liverpool.

A few days to late :laugh:

He is just rubbing it in ;)

i want to play Newcastle and West Ham every week!

good game until Gerrard and Torres came off, then it went pretty stale.

25 this season for Torres. In his FIRST season, yet Ronaldo is getting all the applause, git!

ha.

Kuyt, Voronin(who i hate), and Crouch really need to step up now, otherwise we might be able to blag funding for another Torres-like-Striker to get us another 20 goals.

And poor old Newcastle, hahaha.oh deary me, they're defence, is abysmal, definitley the worst in recent seasons, i'd rather have a Derby back 4 than the Newcastle "defence".

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more.
