What a long strange trip it's been...(and will be)

The Pool:
So Keane is back to Tottenham, and couldn't be happier, and Crouch (he's big, he's red, his feet stick out the bed) has come to his aid telling the masses who don't follow Liverpool that Rafa's player selection methods are a bit whacked. I must admit the past few months have been very strange, but we've turned a new corner in the "uh-oh" department with Stevie G's hamstring. The Robbie saga took up all our transfer window time, so all our cards are on the table and I don't think the river will be kind to us....however, half time at Stamford Bridge, and the Tigers are holding off the blues, so it still looks like a 2 team race for the title...which is good!

RSL:
Much of the talk as of late centers around the training camp additions and the lack of team coverage coming from the clubs PR department. While we sit and wait (in the dark) we'll all contnue to speculate whether or not any of our new hopefuls will turn out if any. I remind you all of the fact that were a small market team, and event though we have fantastic attendance, we don't have the bank roll to land the big dollar names. While some of you may lament this fact, I for one welcome the aproach (even if we were Man City) of finding median priced diamonds in the rough. I believe this allows us to build a more stable group of players that can/will become a team as opposed to a shell with hired guns coming in for only a year at a time. We've all seen what an ego can do to a team (see Dallas Cowboys, Philly Eagles, and Terrel Owen). As far as the media coverage of our squad, it could certainly be better, and I would love to help them with that. I have an extensive event, video, and communication background that would be perfect for exactly this type of situation.....just send me an email Mr. Fitz-Gerald....foosball4@gmail.com
