We didn't all ruin it Dawson. The southerners ruined it.

(and when I say home I mean a cardboard box at side of the road)

Oh....why didnt you say so before. Could have saved alot of arguing there saint. I should have realised that people who travel further to matches are better supporters than local people. How stupid of me.

Off course watching the whole match gives you a much better understanding of the game, but being a scouser give you no more understanding of what happens in that 90. Thats a sh1t argument as I know many scpusers on this forum that know very little about football but are very passionate about the club, and I know many Ooters that clearly know plenty about football.

And don’t people from the city get priority over season tickets? That’s what I always understood.

From Liverpool Echo:

FABIO AURELIO will officially become a Liverpool player this weekend.

Aurelio will sign his four-year Anfield contract on July 1, having already agreed terms with the Reds.

The 27-year-old Brazilian left back, who is signing on a free Bosman deal from Valencia, will start pre-season training with the rest of Liverpool's non-World Cup internationals next week.

Benitez will welcome at least three new faces to Melwood when the players return, with Aurelio joining fellow South American Gabriel Paletta and new striker Craig Bellamy.

Unfortunately, Mark Gonzalez will still need to await clearance from the department for education and employment, although that decision is anticipated a week today.

Ideally, Benitez wants at least a fifth new face to join the club by then - followed by another two before the transfer deadline.

The stand-off between Liverpool and Seville for the £10m transfer of Daniel Alves is continuing, but Benitez is already considering his plan B, which involves bidding for Feyenoord's Dirk Kuyt.

Benitez is desperate for another top striker and the exit of Holland from the World Cup will see the chase for Kuyt hot up.

If Seville finally agree a deal for Alves, Benitez knows he hasn't any money left in his kitty to finance a major Kuyt bid, unless he can swiftly sell some of his unwanted squad play-ers.

So far, there has been precious little interest shown in those surplus to requirements at Anfield but it's hoped there will be exits in July.

Scott Carson's potential move to Sheffield Wednesday was always a non-starter as Liverpool are still un-sure of Jerzy Dudek's future.

If the Polish Champions League hero is sold, Benitez won't be prepared to leave himself short of goalkeeper cover.

Why did you quote me?
