Wouldn't be surprised to see Coates start though.

I would be amazed to see Coates start.

I know it's not likely, but he's got more chance of playing simply because of who we're facing. It's a big gamble though.

And let's face it, our defenders should know how to play against Peter Crouch.

 

[FoxForceFive]

That kenny interview is superb.

 

[Squiggles]

Agreed.

He handles the media extremely well.

I wonder if kenny purposly goes out of his way to make the interview feel uncomfortable/uneasy

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Kenny is pretty fucking ace at dishing out the slap downs.

[/quote]

Yes & no. He answers as forthrightly as possible, which, when he does it, makes the interviewer feel uneasy as Kenny simply exposes how fickle/stupid the questions he's been asked are.

From the same interview allegedly:

Kenny: Where's Vinny.
Journo: Off.
Kenny: ill?
Journo: No, day off.
Kenny: That's a shame, I wanted him to be ill.

Hahaha.. he's hardcore our Kenny isn't he?

Love him to bits.

 

[FoxForceFive]

hahahaha. That's class.

If you didn't know they actually got on it'd seem nasty & vindictive though.

True. They get on like a house on fire apparently. Don't think Kenny likes some of them other cunts tho.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Was Kenny like this the last time he was our manager (press wise)?

 

[Judge Jules]

To an extent, yes, but the passing years have given him an extra air of authority which he uses to great effect.

Loved his answer to a question about Bellamy's temperament: "I don't think it'll be a problem. Has he no' given up golf?" ;D

Possibly so, but I get the impression he just doesn't rate them (or their occupation) particularly highly, as opposed to actively disliking them.

I honestly can't recall him being like this mate, but i'll take your word on it.

Yeah that made me chuckle as well.

 

[Judge Jules]

It's probably fair to say he's got an extra edge to him now, mate, but he definitely had a certain amount of it back then too. Even as a player he'd have a pop at some of his interviewers. There's a long and honourable Liverpool tradition of this kind of thing, going right back to Shanks himself.

 

[King Binny]

Crouch believes Stoke can upset the Anfield club he represented from 2005 to 2008.

But he will explain in Stoke's official programme for the Liverpool game that he expects a stern test against a side who have been rejuvenated since Kenny Dalglish replaced Roy Hodgson as manager in January.

Crouch added: "Luis Suarez has been on fire, they have Andy Carroll there who is very talented, Craig Bellamy has just arrived from Manchester City and I know Stewart Downing from England so they have some very good options.

"They have strengthened but so have we.

"I mean, I look around our dressing room and we have some fantastic players in there as well.

"I know from being an opposing player that nobody enjoys coming here and playing against Stoke.

"It's always an incredibly hard game to play in, so we have the belief that we can win the game."

Stoke boss Tony Pulis, pictured left, has dropped a heavy hint that he will unleash Crouch against Liverpool. But the giant striker's fellow deadline-day recruits, Wilson Palacios and Cameron Jerome, may have to wait for their debuts as Pulis works on building up their fitness.

The manager is hoping fans will be patient as they wait to see Palacios, who cost £6m from Tottenham, and Jerome, who was snapped up for £4m from Birmingham.

Palacios is hoping to shake off the effects of a knee injury to make the Liverpool game, but Pulis won't pressure the Honduras international.

Pulis said: "Wilson has been injured so we are not sure whether he will be fit to start on Saturday or whether we need to give him a couple of weeks to get him up and running.

"We are hoping Peter will hit the ground running and do smashing for us, and the same for Cameron.

"But Cameron has missed a lot of pre-season through injury.

"He is a little bit behind, but Peter can't wait to get going.

"He can't wait for Saturday, especially against one of his old clubs."

I see what you did there. 😉

 

[Skullflower]

here's a different pre stoke press conference

Rafa's amazing Fergie rant

 

[FoxForceFive]

Kenny wasn't like this, but then the media as a whole (esp' Sky Sports fucking News et al) was nowhere near as sensationalist or vindicative as it now.

Struggeling with a hamstring injury according to a few sites. God I hope he's out, I hate those long throw ins.

Have you not heard mate, they have a new lad who throws it even further (no joke).

We're doomed.
