| | | | Aye, shutout = American for clean sheet, in this case, Liverpool were shut out from the goal.

Liverpool are currently 12 points away from a Champions League place and 13 points away from relegation...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: Brisbane, Australia | | | Yeah, enough of these American sport terms (like DEEEfence) - that's the boundary between me and my neighbours. Sorry, but American sports leave me cold. There's a time-out every 10 seconds, so players don't actually have to think for themselves. A game that supposedly lasts for an hour, takes 29 hours to play. I once saw an Olympic basket-ball game that had 20 minutes on the clock - 4 days later, they still hadn't finished. Actually, the game might still be going, I'm not sure. Time out, time out, time out, time out, time out.
If you check out the Guinness Book Of Records, you'll find that the longest game of American Football took 23 years to complete, and many of the players didn't live to see who won. It's true, check it out. One of the players had a kid during the game, and the same child got to watch the end of it with his wife and kids. Strange fruit indeed. |

"he's a real nowhere man, living in a nowhere land" | There's plenty of tidbits of folklore that could persuade you either way.
For example, there is a Kopite on the cover of Sgt Pepper, who many reds take as conclusive proof that the Beatles were one of them. Until of course, you read the interview with Lennon when he says that he picked Albert Stubbins just because he liked the sound of his name.
They can be seen in several photos shoots wearing either red and white or blue and white scarves/hats/rosettes - less obvious initially because most photos from the sixties were B&W.
There was also the time McCartney was alleged to be about to invest in EFC back in the early 90's. He was a friend of the Moores family and was seen at the Hilton with the then chairman Peter Johnson. Turned out to be a chance meeting between friends.
There is a generation of fellas - my old man included - who swear blind that they saw John, Paul, George or Ringo at a game once!
The truth is I suspect they actually cared little for football, or indeed sport of any kind. Other than Lennon being seen at a baseball game in the 70's, I can't think of any paparazzi shot of any Beatle at any sporting event? |
