Mod of the year Bad Bob. They all do a good job mostly I think, but Bob reminds me very much of Alan Hansen in the way he goes about the job (I'm talking as a player here). He is unflustered, avoids glaringly obvious mistakes and reads the game well enough to allow him to nip dodgy situations in the bud before they develop. I sometimes don't agree with him, but I always respect him.
Thread of the year Last man standing. A great idea this, excellently thought out and marshalled by DD.
Optimist of the year Lando. We could lose 6-0 at Home to Crewe and Lando would find something about the left backs performance which would give him hope enough to denounce anyone who said it was a dodgy result. Deservedly suspended IMHO, but nontheless one of the posters who makes the boards worthwhile. I look forward to being on the receiving end when he returns no doubt all guns blazing.
Pessimist of the year Heimdall. We could win the Champions League final 6-0 against the Mancs and Heimy would find something in the left backs performance to fill him with dread about the season to come. Unjustly banned IMHO and once again one of the charcters who make the forum special.
Please come back All banned posters who are genuine Liverpool fans. Lando, Stu, Leon (whO I know isn't banned), Peeewee, Johnnymac, Zara "big Sam yeah
", Heimdall etc etc. No more to be said really. I don't agree with all of them from time to time, or some of them any of the time, but the rules if applied properly should be robust enough to accomodate everyone IMHO.Joker of the year Judgie. Close one this. Barry has had the funniest line of the year for me with the Hughes having photos of him doing bycicle Kicks on the dressing room walls (you had to be there, it was funnier when he said it). S@int and andy G's dry wit one-liners make me laugh regularly, Benny the Noon has become a joint leader with DD at posting up hilarious pictures, but for overall inanity on a grand scale it's the Judge. The way he switches from wanton Buffoonery to sage like seriousness on climate change or more recently football at the drop of a hat kills me.
Oustanding contribution Dundalk, Effes, S@int, Owzat. DD for his "last man standing" thread, his posting up up of hilarious videos and pictures, and for just being a really top lad. Effes for his gamblers league thread which I fecking haven't had a pick up in yet, and once again for being a good bloke and a voice of reason. S@int I think puts in some excellent threads and some well researched answers. As much as many don't agree with him, he makes arguments keeps going, and I mean that as a compliment
Owzat similarly puts up his stats and some of them are really thought provoking. Obviously some are utter b0ll0cks (basically the ones which don't back up a point I'm making), but it makes the forum a good place to talk football. Overall my winner this year in DD by a whisker. Football poster of the year S@int, LFC2007, Owzat, Sabre. Two I generally agree with, two I generally don't but they all post excellent stuff. My marginal winner is S@int for his well researched and though provoking points , but we are lucky to have them all on here.
Baddie of the year
Newkitter of the year Nanny red. No contest. She's everyones mate, comes on here absolutely wasted and talks utter b0ll0cks but you can't read it anyway, she gets her log-in periodacally hijacked by her bitter son who abuses all and sundry, she's got real madrid connections, knows all the football faces in Sarf East Landen, gets a bit of info, starts rumours which get picked up by the Worldwide football press (Scott Parker to Liverpool made it onto the football show over here) and posts up Santa stuff for the kids which pretty much the whole of Christchurch has used (got me sooooo many Brownie points that did. Mother in Law works at the hospital in the kids ward). She even talks sense about football too, opposite end of the great divide to me but a great poster.
Sorry if I didn't give you a mention, I just sat here and filled it in without giving it thought. If I'd really considered it I'd probably come up with a host of different answers. Suffice to say none of us would spend so much time on here if it wasn't a bit of fun, and everyone contributes. Anyway, the kids are bored with their presents now (they did open them half an hour ago and they only cost a couple of weeks wages) so I'd better get the frisbee out and we'll go on the back field. have a good one guys, Mick.
he will just have the other little wrigglys for company
