As soon as I heard that, I had a feeling he would score. We should sing that to our subs, might make them have an impact!

Which by the way is the best website for the greatest team in the world (but you all know that anyway) Great work Scott. I work in an office 10 miles from liverpool and im surrounded by reds and blues. The blues arent too bad, they tend to side with me on most things apart from last weekend. They're harmless really but its the bin dippin kop-ite gob-shites that get on my tits. Last night was just priceless and all of Rafa's rants and fuck ups have come good!! Not a single red shirt anywhere today and just the noise of rocks slamming down after they all crawl back under them. I hope & dream we sweep the board trophy wise this season & equal their title record. Shut them right up. Anyway while watching the match I heard that song (fuck off to Kirby, this citys all ours) and it got me thinking about a chant we can sing for them on March 14th: This countrys all ours This countrys all ours Fuck off to Norway This countrys all ours Then the 2nd verse changes Europes all ours Europes all ours Fuck off to China Coz Europes all ours And then even better for the 3rd verse The world is all ours The world is all ours Fuck off this planet Coz its fuckin OURS!!! Champions of England, Champions of Europe & Champions of the World. So what do you all think? Well here goes for my first ever post on ROM.

Fuck off to Norway

Then the 2nd verse changes

Europes all ours

Coz Europes all ours

And then even better for the 3rd verse

The world is all ours
The world is all ours
Fuck off this planet
Coz its fuckin OURS!!!

Champions of England, Champions of Europe & Champions of the World.

So what do you all think?

BTW - just been confirmed on the Beeb - Stevie G(BH) is out for 3 weeks. Fair do’s Jake, I can see where you’re coming from on that and we’re agreed on the SAF trend.

The MOTD crew were wanking themselves silly over Liverpool's 'pressure' when they weren't in possession - the fact is that while Carrick was on the pitch they were wasting their time and energy on lost causes because United passes were being comfortably completed. Once Carrick went off and our passing went astray, their pressure actually counted for something. Is it just coincidence that while Carrick was on we dominated possession? Is it a coincidence that Liverpool barely had a sniff at goal until he went off? Is it any coincidence that we (using a midfield of Scholesy, Anderson and Giggsy) got pushed further and further back in the second half without him? No, no and no. SAF has bottled playing that formation again since for two reasons: one is the return of Ronaldo and the second is the trend for him to can a good idea if it 'fails' in a big match. “you can’t play 3 strikers away from home at Liverpool, it was untested and a gamble that clearly didn’t pay off because we got outgunned in the central third of the pitch 4 vs 3 as tevez and rooney are not effective attacking right and left midfielders against goodish teams away from home and we got dominated in the middle which I remember distinctly enough”

On his day Alonso is a pretty good player but like Jake says far from this "lynchpin" the media and all the rat eaters claim he is. Take Stevie Me out of that team and they are fuckin average. Torres at the moment must have the worst first touch in the prem. Furthermore I see their murdering fans behaved in their usual exemplary manner. Cunts. United all the way.

A Primary Teacher explains to her class that she is a Liverpool fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they too are Liverpool fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, 'Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?' 'Because I'm not a Liverpool fan,' she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well, if you are not a Liverpool fan, then who are you a fan of?' 'I am a Man Utd fan, and proud of it ,' Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. 'Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Man Utd fan?'

You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time� What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?' "A Liverpool fan" said Mary.
