we haven't won it yet * remembersliverpoolvswimbledonfacupfinal*

we could move on to talk about torres and his run of form if you like

no, ok

Torres isn't playing that badly.

In comparison to Carroll.

I have a feeling that they may give up on Carroll, cut their losses and ship him out over the summer if he has not drastically improved

Why?

What sense would that make, he's only 23

I did enjoy this from twitter last night before the match

Andy Carroll is 6-1 to score first tonight. If you don't understand betting that means if you bet £10, you lose £10.

Haha!

Perhaps is 'attitude' is not right.

by attitude do you mean his speed, physical ability and effort

yeah something like that.
Us paying 35million for him is like someone turning up at my house at the weekend and offering me 75K for my car

Which is also 23 years old btw :)

That's one of the key points of moneyball though, buy players with a bad attitude, and improve it, and you should have a much better player.

Well, yeah, but that's done now, the money is spent, and it should make no difference to the future if we paid £35M or got him for free.

How many of the Liverpool fans on here will actually go to the final?

Considering how few tickets there will be for fans, I imagine most will be taken up by season ticket holders, and the rest filled up with members. So I doubt many.

31000 tickets will be released to each set of fans, not a great deal

I went to the Brighton and Chelsea victories but not on my own fan card so I don't have any loyalty. I've got my fingers in a few pies so we shall see

mmmpie

There is always a way. I went to three league cup finals in four years, and two play-off finals - when the full allocation went to season-ticket holders and members.

Never any good. Never will be

Not in the edition of the book that I read. One of the key points was buying statistically proven players that fit into your strategy (lots of 'walking' if I recall correctly, though I'm a bit hazy on what that means...) and buying them on the cheap.

This particular transfer appears to have resulted in them buying a player that doesn't fit in their strategy, wasn't proven at all beyond a good spell over a few months, and was bought at an incredible premium...

Shouldn't be too difficult getting a ticket for the final, not all the season ticket holders will opt in for the carling cup matches. I'm probably going to get a ticket for the Cardiff end as I have a few mates who support them and it should be a good day out.

Liverpool fans are all members. FACT.

So so true

1st leg of the semi final liverpool more than filled their allocation at the Etihad
2nd leg of the semi final man city end 1/2 full

prawn sandwiches anyone
