First and foremost I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating the Holiday today (except for Tom Hicks & George Gillett). I am thankful to support a great club which has a very large and proud history and also a huge fan-base around the world. Thanksgiving is the largest Holiday of the year in the US, we celebrate it by stuffing our bellies up with turkey and getting together with our families.

Speaking of Turkey, Turan is being linked with Liverpool more…
(I seriously doubt this given that Rafa will not have any money for signings in January)

More talk of Van Nisteroy coming to Anfield more…
(I am starting to believe this story, the loan deal sounds like it could be something we can afford)

Liverpool Legend Tommy Smith blames the owners for our CL exit more…
(Thank you Tommy, in America we have an expression “Champagne on a beer budget” and that is what everyone expects from Rafa)

Here is an article talking about the financial impact of not being in the Champions League more…
(However if we go all the way we might end up making more. Juventus might join us in the Europa now)

Everton’s stadium plans were rejected, now there is more sh*te talk about the whole stadium sharing thing   more…
(H&G don’t get any stupid ideas!!!! Everton have a history of not paying rent)

I missed this story yesterday but Lyon want us to do them a favour more…
(Thanks for nothing Lyon, you surrendered to Fiorentina. We will beat the Viola not to do you a favour but because of our pride)

Ryan Babel looks like he is back on Twitter under the handle @Protunez
(He is using the name Rio? What is up with that? Rio = River.  River of Bablyon?)

And Rafa wants to have a word with Ryan over his comments to a Dutch Magazine more…
(It was a Dutch magazine that Ryan give his interview to and not The S*n. The S*n have folks on their editorial board who speak fluent Dutch probably due to the time they spend in Amsterdam Red Light district. I just made the Red Light story up but hey The S*n lies, so for once I wanted them to be on the receiving end)

More Sh*te linking Mourinho to Liverpool more…
(These people do not have a clue)

And finally, something for the Rafa bashes to ponder more…
(You do not see a story like that in any London tabloid)
