OMG....WE MIGHT BE GETTING DEL PIERO !!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard we're trialling Earl from the wonga.com adverts.

From the Spice Boys to the Jolly Boys.

They should sign that boring bastard Gary Lineker. That way he won't be on the TV so much.

 

[nealmac]

Well someone's lying. ADP said Liverpool contacted him, and we denied any contact.

My money's on us.

 

[Red_Water]

I doubt very much we made an offer, it would simply have underminded FSG's statement from a day or so ago where they justified not spending dosh on a 29 year old.

Not saying it is right like, but after that statement wasn't going to happen.

 

[Athens]

Reports are coming through that he's signed for Sydney FC.

Claudio Pasqualin, who doesn't represent Del Piero but is close to the player, is quoted by TMW as saying "With respect and remembering the Heysel tragedy, he said no."
The Italian football legend was 11 at the time of the Heysel disaster and a Juventus supporter, he's a legend at the club and didn't want to upset any sections supporters by joining Liverpool. Thirty nine people died at the stadium and it created wounds between the two giant clubs, some of which will never be healed, and Del Piero didn't want the danger of that tainting his legacy.

Good

The Boston PR team just scored another home run.

Yep everything they do [and don't do] turns to shit for the most part. Takes some doing when we are out doing the likes of Newcastle for 'crazy mad incompetent shit'

 

[nealmac]

He didn't sign for us out of respect for the Heysel tragedy.

[gkmacca]

It might have helped in that sense if he HAD signed for us.

 

[Judge Jules]

Exactly so, not least given the efforts both clubs have already made to put the whole thing behind them.

If Del Piero means it, he's either a lot more stupid or a lot less classy than I thought he was.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Del Piero went to Australia for an easy life and easy pickings. No other reason and talk of Heysel is bullshit. IMO of course.

Incidentally Im really that he made that decision
