Ensuring that he says "had it not been for Southampton this wouldn't have been possible" in every interview. A silver spoon is to be given as payment every time this is not upheld.

I prefer to ask them if they'll be supporting Real Madrid.

I see. Can we have our stripes back? Pretty please?

I know what you mean, but it's not fair to compare all Englishmen as the same so i'm happy to give the guy more then a chance on the basis of his record.

No problem with you sticking around, but why did you post in argument to yourself? How can you possibly explain that? Skirting this is not going to do you any good. Unless you can explain this you have no credibility i'm afraid.

Well, the one offer went through very quickly. It broke like a bolt from the blue. The others have been lingering for weeks with no progress regardless of the hyperbole. You keep clutching.

Considering that we have only accepted one offer for a player who actually wanted to go........

No, your point is irrelevant. I just find it highly amusing that you are disagreeing with yourself!

Well, he did his best to string us along!

Already in the Rickie to Liverpool thread but it's fair to be on it's own rather then lost. A fair statement from a modest man who is achieving everything he could have ever dreamt. We benefited massively from his time with us, just wish it could have been longer. He will always have my best wishes, hope to be able to buy him a drink sometime.

Utterly fair statement. Good luck Rickie.

Dude, you've just quoted yourself.....

Glad the hysteria hasn't clouded your judgement that much. Fingers crossed for Koeman, him with a decent budget and hand on the academy tiller will be a shot in the arm.

I would say takes one to know one..... But that would be a little harsh.

With no Guly either this could be interesting. Give it to Boruc.

No, clearly Marians!

Shut up Glasgow. Should Keegan be removed because he went to Newcastle?

Looked to be the same grin as when he scored for England for me, no smugness just astonished pride and disbelief. Of course he is no MLT, but no-one ever will be.

No point accepting another offer if he won't agree personal terms. He's going home, I doubt any money in the world would change that for him.

Remember this thread like it was yesterday. Just who was Tac-tics? The names mentioned on the first page. Rickie Lambert and Simeon Jackson. What a split in fortunes.

He gave his all for us and has gone further then he surely could have ever imagined when he came to us five years ago. Now a Liverpool player and an England international. He has fulfilled his wildest dreams thanks to his time here and helped to give us some incredible memories on the way. An astonishing story, Good luck Rickie.

Interesting, there were a few times today when he was caught in possession but otherwise played ok. That goal v Brazil was a bit special mind.

Muffins?

Marians. Can't go wrong.
