Hicks and Gillet doing all they can for Anglo US Relations
BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Liverpool | Gerrard hits out at unstable Reds
The Americans have to go," said Mackin. "They've let everybody down associated with the club.
"They've let the manager down by not backing him publicly, they've gone behind his back and undermined his position and in doing so, they've embarrassed the supporters.
"They've dragged the name of the club through the mud and made us a laughing stock."
Americans have managed to buy 2 other Premiership teams without turning it into the circus that Liverpool has become.
That said, I am not sure that they can completely agree that whatever temper tantrums George Hicks is throwing has anything to do with Rafa playing useless Kuyt . Or subbing Benayoun instead of Kuyt for Crouch and moving Babel up. Also the questionable tactic of waiting for Stevie G to nick a goal and a point in the last 10 minutes--a tactic they've used before this year as well. The owners also have had nothing to do with Liverpool's struggling form last year or their 5th place finish in 2005. Without a large full scale overhaul in the squad Liverpool will continue to play for the UEFA Cup no matter who is in charge.

Oy Vey it's a stereotype super party
Got this AIM earlier. Usernames Changed to protect the not so innocent:
I can't quite tell if he was being serious or not.
INTERNET (8:57:11 PM): So I give up on Newcastle United. They are dead to me and will end up just like Leeds United in the near future, I'm affraid. Most of the guys I liked the most are now playing for West Ham now, so UP THE IRONS! Hopefully they'll be blowing pretty bubbles on Wednesday against your Citizens!
ME (8:57:30 PM): jesus
ME (8:57:34 PM): you can't switch like that!
INTERNET (8:57:54 PM): sure I can!
INTERNET (8:58:05 PM): I'm a Green Street HOOLIGAN!
ME (8:58:13 PM): groce
INTERNET (8:58:25 PM): hahaha
INTERNET(8:58:46 PM): If I ever said that to anyone in East Ham, I'd probably get knifed.
INTERNET (8:59:23 PM): hehe
INTERNET (9:02:32 PM): I will never, ever give up on my Houston Dynamo, though. They are my blood and I can understand a footie fan's passion.

*you* name the blog
There is some lesbian in Norfolk or someplace equaly ghastly that calls herself footiebird on the internets. She "had it" first. Plus Footiebird is a stupid name. I hated it from the start, but I don't know what else to call it. Should I rename this blog? If I do what should it be? Also, nothing involving my being in US, because I hate American Anglophiles and dont want to be associated. haha

Go USA ... or something
Again from EPLTalk
What many UK expats discover upon moving to the USThey show more games on Television over here
I was shocked to find that out myself. There's also most Champions League and Uefa Cup ties, though you have to figure out a way to take time off of work to watch. You also get selected, La Liga, Serie A, La Championat, and Bundesliga matches as well as internationals if they are interesting. You do have to have digital cable and/or satellite to get them all, but the thing is, they are a lot cheaper than the corresponding services are in the UK.
Also exciting, we no longer have to pay 20 dollars at a pub to watch England lose in Euro, the group stages on are going to be televised on ESPN Networks not setanta premium. You can watch it at home on REGULAR cable!

So there ya go, three clubs in the Premiership owned by Americans. No further comment....
American tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks have reached an agreement to take over Liverpool.Hicks and Gillett will be co-chairmen but will leave existing chief executive Rick Parry to run the club.
Liverpool chairman David Moores, who will become an honorary life president, said: "This is a great step forward for its shareholders and its fans."
The pair, who each own NHL ice hockey teams, beat off competition from Dubai International Capital.
