hey there!!!
 
 as a bleed-pewter-and-red bucs fan who can talk at great length about our practice squad and NFL europe players, i can tell you that glazer has been a fantastic owner who didn't merely "buy" a championship for the bucs ... they've made great business decisions, have a fantastic new stadium, and turned a franchise that was the laughing stock of the league into a championship caliber team
 
 now if we can just get back to a .500 winning % i'll be happy =)

This thread is gayer than a chartered plane full of giddy NAMBLA members headed for Thailand.

 One of the most thrilling things in sport is when the underdogs rise up and slay the giants.  Yeah, Liverpool isn't up there with the cream of the Premiership, but neither is their payroll.  Don't worry boys, Papa Glazer will do his best to buy you some trophies too!  
 
 Whether you like it or not, Liverpool are the Champions.  They beat some great teams to get where they are today.  Stop your sour grapes and let them enjoy their moment in the sun.  
 
 Liverpool has won the Champions Cup five times, that's the same amount as all the other English clubs, combined!  
 
 I'll take luck over the Buccaneers anyday of the week!      

blah blah blah.....yeah but, will you all have cheerleaders at Anfield next season? NO! I thought not~

When you walk through the storm
 Hold your head up high
 And don't be afraid of the dark
 At the end of the storm
 
 There's a golden sky
 And the sweet silver song of the lark
 
 Walk on, through the wind
 Walk on, through the rain
 Though your dreams be tossed and blown
 Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
 And you'll never walk alone
 You'll never walk alone
 
 Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
 And you'll never walk alone
 You'll never walk alone
 
 Put that in your Manchester Buccaneers crackpipe and smoke it!    :p

Holy shit, look at this, some Mancunians who AREN'T insecure.  Of course they're Manchester City supporters.
 
 
 OASIS celebrated LIVERPOOL FCâ??s incredible CHAMPIONS LEAGUE victory at an intimate LONDON gig last night (May 25).
 
 The band didnâ??t come on stage at the Coronet until the match between Liverpool and AC Milan had been shown on a giant screen, in front of thousands of drunken fans.
 
 Instead of coming on to their traditional intro tape of 'Fuckinâ?? In The Bushesâ??, the band came on to Liverpoolâ??s anthem â??Youâ??ll Never Walk Aloneâ??, bathed in red light.
 
 Speaking recently about the show, Noel Gallagher explained: "The gig was sold out and I said, 'Instead of getting a support band, why don't we get a big screen and stick it in the middle of the stage so everyone can watch the game. Then we'll play after the game and get a late curfew'. They all went for it, so we hired a big cinema thing."
 
 Liam Gallagher dedicated 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' to the Italian fans. AC Milan were 3-0 up at half-time, but ended losing on penalties 3-2 after extra time after Liverpool came back to draw 3-3.

Shitty fans celebrate anything that Man United don't win....they probably had a party for Arsenal last saturday. It's due to the fact they don't get much opportunity to celebrate their own team actually winning anything.

Now we're left with Tim Howard.....that's reassuring!    
 
 Seriously though....Carroll? What was he thinking, making demands like that? Good riddance.

Absolutely.
 
 But we're surely going to go after somebody else just in case, right Mank?  Still think it will be Given?

[brennser]

Still think it will be Given?  

he's on the record as being 'unhappy' at Newcastle

[Frank Gallagher]

Inside scoop!!!!
 
 Sir Alex Ferguson, frustrated at the delay tactics by Carroll and his agent, took matters in his own hands by calling Carroll into his office and presenting a three year contract to him. He tossed the pen to Roy, but unfortunately he dropped it......Carroll was released shortly thereafter.
 
 Fergie is reported to be partial to Italian goalies, but Given or Robinson are both eager for European experience. I would like to see Given because not only is he a great keeper with big-game experience, he has a presence back there, not unlike the great Dane used to have. Plus he's Irish which gives him the edge for me to be honest.

I'd demand a better return for my hard earned £!  Come on boys, buy those t-shirts so the Bucs can buy some more quality players.  Surely we can get some kind of cup next season!  Being a Man B supporter is the same as letting your wife loose to shop at Macy's.

Oh man, bummer!  Hee,hee,hee...
 
 LONDON (AFP) - Global sportswear giant Nike could back out of its sponsorship deal with British football giants Manchester United if the side fails to return to its winning ways, it was reported.
 
 Nike has a 303-million-pound (440-million-euro, 553-million-dollar) sponsorship deal with United, but since the 13-year deal was signed in 2000 -- the year after the team won the European Champions League -- the club's fortunes have waned.

 This past season United -- taken over earlier this month by US sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer despite an outcry from diehard fans -- has won no major honours, and finished a distant third in the Premiership.
 
 "Chelsea won the league this year, Arsenal won the FA Cup and Liverpool won the Champions League, so you could argue that Manchester United is only the fourth-best club in England at the moment," Ian Todd, Nike's vice president for sports marketing, was quoted in the Sunday Telegraph as saying.
 
 He added: "If, for example, Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, that might be a problem. We will look very carefully at this situation, as we do with all our sponsorship agreements."
 
 Todd said Nike was due to meet Glazer next month to discuss his strategic vision for the world's most famous football club.
 
 United fans angered by Glazer's takeover have called a rally for Monday in Manchester, northwest England, where Nike and other sponsor products can be surrendered for charity as a gesture of protest.

Here's something else that could wipe the grin off the smug Man B supporters....
 
 From the Liverpool Echo
 
 The Supergroup of European football clubs today demanded that the Reds be allowed to defend their trophy.
 
   G14, the grouping of elite European clubs, has thrown its weight behind the calls to see justice being done.
 
  Uefa bosses must decide if they can make an exception and allow five British clubs into the Champions League, the top four in the Premiership and cup holders Liverpool.
 
   G14 was the body that forced Uefa to expand the Champions League in 1998 by threatening to se up a breakaway competition and now it has thrown its weight behind Liverpool, one of the founder members.
 
   A G14 spokesman said: "We support the desire to see Liverpool defend their trophy and the matter will be raised at our management board meeting next month.
 
   "We believe Uefa should look at ways of allowing this to happen."
 
  The organisation is made up of 18 powerful clubs including Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich - as well as Manchester United (now known as Manchester Buccaneers) and Arsenal - and a formal approach will be made in Uefa after the G14 meeting in Amsterdam on June 9.
 
   Meanwhile, the FA's chairman Geoff Thompson, who is also a Uefa vice-president, has continued lobbying for there to be five English clubs in the Champions League so Liverpool can defend their crown.
 
   His main arguement is that nearly all the 52 Uefa member countries would be given an extra place in the Champions League in similiar circumstances - apart from England, Spain and Italy because they are already allowed four teams in the competition.
 
  The FA believes that is an inconsistency in the regulations and that even if Uefa is not convinced on this occasion it should change the rules for the future.
 
   Thompson said: "We are working extremely hard to try to secure the extra place for Liverpool."
 
   "Our basic concern is to ensure that all 52 countries have the same opportunity. There is an additional place guaranteed should the champions come from 49 countries in Europe but not for the other three - England, Italy and Spain.
 
   "We are saying that there should be a level playing field and that every country should have the same opportunity."
 
   Liverpool will have to wait three weeks before they will know one way or another - the issue will be decided by Uefa's 15-man executive committee at their meeting in Manchester on June 17.
 
   There is some hope for Liverpool because Ufea's president Lennart Johansson is understood to be broadly supportive, and his influence is extremely important though not necessarily decisive.
 
   Mario Lefkaritis, a Cypriot member of Uefa's executive committee, said he would approach the meeting with an open mind.
 
   He said, "It is very dangerous to pre-judge anything. If the issue is raised in Manchester we have to listen to all sides and then make a decision."

Defend the fucker all you want, it's at least another 20 years before you get a sniff.
 
 As for Nike....who gives a toss? I mean really....some other clothing manufacture will be more than happy to take their place....it's all about business, and Man Utd is a huge business
