And, last but not least, some quoties!!
- Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that. - Bill Shankley. Classic.
- If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later. - Bob Paisley.
- Mind you, I've been here during the bad times too - one year we came second. - Paisley again!
- There's no noise like the Anfield noise. - Ian St John.
- The problem with you, son, is that all your brains are in your head. - Bill Shankly, to a new Liverpool trainee. You've gotta luv him.
- We don't have any splits here. The players' country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football. - Houllier!
- The only thing I fear is missing an open goal in front of the Kop. I would die if that were to happen. When they start singing You'll Never Walk Alone my eyes start to water. There have been times when I've actually been crying while I've been playing. - Keegan. Awww..
Bored now. That's enough updates for one day.
