Bascombe, "Liverpool's true status highlighted by losing out in transfer window to Tottenham Hotspur....once again" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-to-Tottenham-Hotspur-.-.-.-.-once-again.html Yes Spurs finished higher, yes Spurs are in the Europey etc but the obvious bigger wages and living in London compared to Liverpool are also major factors. Anyway who needs a player called William that cant even spell his own name.
Tbh, there's not much to disagree with in that article, it's just a case of stating the bleedin' obvious. We're both operating in the same market, and Spuds are obviously more attractive in the short term. Nothing new there, but journos have to write about something.
Thing is saint does a player choose a club that hasn't won jack **** for 7yrs and that isn't in the CL over a club that hasn't won jack **** for 2yrs and isn't in the CL for anything other than money?
Well, money and the prospect of a trophy maybe if they think a couple of places higher in the league is going to translate into that. Personally, I'm not convinced that Spurs' assembly of an admittedly strong squad is necessarily going to bring them that success, but who knows? It all depends whether AVB can turn a collection of talented individuals into a strong team. I don't think that's as simple a task as it might seem. We'll see.
Yep we'll see. But we had a sign from above that this year is our year. please log in to view this image http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liver-bird-spotted-flying-sky-5758273
Great stuff. Reminds me of all that crap on youtube where people see the sun shafting through clouds and convince themselves it's an angel. Or " What is this cloud shaped object- could it be a UFO?" Er, no. It's a cloud.
To read, write, and study the English language is the greatest passion I have in life. When I analyse texts, the results can prompt such wonder at, and appreciation of, the talent of an author. The subsequent debates that arise from interpreting a great book stimulate me intellectually in a way that no other subject can. Yet when I sit in quiet moments to enjoy a book at leisure without the framework of an academic analysis, or a teacher to guide me, it is precisely in those moments that my love of our language consumes me fully. For these reasons, I wish to study English at university. To learn from outstanding academics about how to analyse, but also to continue my love affair with literature is my goal. My love of literature and language sustained me through compulsory education, into further education, and will carry my passion into an undergraduate degree, masters and beyond. With a degree in English literature, I can fulfill my desire to enter the field of journalism and contribute to the debate and dialogue of our society. I am excited about the challenge of developing my analytical skills in prose, poetry and drama, expanding the depth of my knowledge of various authors I am still to discover. I will relish the opportunity to sharpen my critical faculties and debate with my peers who have chosen to share this path and passion to study. I find it fascinating the way in which a simple line of prose can manipulate the readerâs perspective, attitude and emotions. A thirst for literature based on states of mind, identity and relationships, has aided me in exploring the fascinating works of Sylvia Plath, the ingenuity of Graham Greene in his staggeringly accurate tale of how a simple love can incline towards obsession in âThe End of the Affairâ, and Edgar Allan Poeâs surprisingly progressive outlook during the 19th century on the human psyche in his novella, âThe Black Catâ. My family and I relish our numerous trips to the Royal Exchange Theatre, and it is there that I have nurtured my devotion to live drama: it is there that I have experienced the works of Oscar Wilde, such as (and my personal favourite due to the fantastic wit and sarcasm) âThe Importance of Being Earnestâ; Shakespeareâs âRomeo and Julietâ; not so well-known pieces such as âGoodâ by CP Taylor and âCharleyâs Auntâ, to name but a few. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a range of extra-curricular activities. The study of history transported me on a comprehensive First World War Battlefields tour to France and Belgium. There, I was humbled by the true magnitude of the Great War and this experience subsequently inspired me to absorb the poignant poetry of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen: in particular âDisabledâ. Shortly after my journey to Europe I ventured back a second time to Krakow, Poland. Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, shaping my character and filling me with a tacit understanding of the level of torment experienced there and at other camps of that nature. Consequently, I have begun to become fine-tuned to references to Nazism and related topics in a vast majority of literature I have read since. âAnimal Farmâ by George Orwell draws conspicuous links to the concept of communism versus imperialism and quite specifically, to Nazism: his comment on human nature is so painfully apparent. I place an important emphasis on strengthening my academic education with life experiences. An excursion to Moniack Mhor in Scotland gave me the chance to compose writing and work with Scottish poet laureate Liz Lochead. In addition to this, I attend an after-college weekly creative writing and college newspaper group, where I develop my literary skills and engage my peers on issues arising from literature. I am a dedicated and conscientious student, and I am confident that through my skills and attributes I would make a strong academic contribution to your department. I await, with excitement, the challenges that university offers and cannot wait to engage passionate academics who once started out on this very same journey that I am now undertaking. To end, I return to the vision that will be at the centre of my life for the next three years. A love of literature. A love of learning. Finally; a quiet confidence and determination that I can, and will, make a lasting contribution to your university department.
Ah, I see. Have to confess I didn't read it all. First and last paragraphs seemed good. I might read the rest later.
