Not that many testimonials get played these days but the likes of Scholes and Giggs will be due a carriage clock apiece at the end of their careers and you can't buy loyalty like that these days, so basically it must be a good place to work, which is surely what the game is all about, team building.
My God I've nearly talked myself into supporting them and I'm a Geordie!

Yes young talent at 17 for nani - 12 for anderson - 18 for carrick - 17 for hargreaves - 29 rooney 30 ferdinand - great scouting at great cost

You mean
£13.5M for Nani
£15M for Anderson
Carrick was £14M, but he's not a young player anyway, neither is Hargreaves
Rooney was £25M

Your complaints, amusingly enough, mirror the exact failings of your club.

In 2006, we spent £29M on Carrick, Kuszczak, Evra and Vidic - signings which allowed us to win the Premiership.

Liverpool spent £29.5M (note: This is a HIGHER number, Liverpool fans seem to have difficulty with this) on:
Aurelio
Pennant
Kuyt
Palletta
Bellamy
Agger
Signings which allowed you to continue to be mediocre.
You seem to think it's immoral that we spend so much on players - except your team spends MORE - it's just that we buy 1 or 2 quality signings, while Benitez jerks it all on 10 mid-table players.

On, and in that same year, you sold £9M worth of players, we sold £23M. So your net spend was more than 3 times ours.
Over the last 15 years, Liverpool have averaged £1M more net spend per year than Manchester United - and they're still crap!

I just hope Rafa never leaves - you might stumble on a decent manager if he did!

Oh, and in 2007, guess what? You spent more than us again. And again, you're massively off the pace in the Premiership, while we're 2 games away (fingers crossed!) from a possible double - and knocking you right off another of your perches.

FANTASTIC response Bazza!

The silence is deafening. Come on Al! Surely you can't just agree with these stats that show Liverpool "out-doing" us?

seems the hook is set and the reel is screaming......
