Keef - Martin O Neill has had no impact on Liverpool FC, past or present. Its all your own mess.

I would not say Roy out. But I would say Roy's appointment was a poor decision from the start. Now you have him, you have to stick with him. Its not about fashion, its about who can take on such a big club and he's a journeyman manager. Its a very sad decline of a once formidable club to be honest.

whoops, too late.

Indeed, but that Artex.

Double cobblers

Having a senior moment.... Anyway Rafa's gotta come back.....

Don't remind me - I saw this at age 11 and I'm not sure I ever recovered. *spins head and pukes*

Spiffing

I remember George Best scoring 5 against Northhampton once. They were crap then, but they must be a good team now.

Always wanted to say this: SUPER CELTIC ARE FANTASTIC - CALEY ARE ATROCIOUS Celtic 6 - 0 Caley Thistle

And I thought I stood almost alone in shouting for sport in Scott's pubs. Everyone tried to usher me down the Prince Albert (gasp).

I like my tea really weak. Hate it when they leave the bag in and its already too srong by the time you get it out, or you get it in a hotel, a little teapot with about 6 teabags in it, too strong already, have to ask for more water. That's just me it seems.

Investment professionals can sometimes be the most herdlike of creatures.

I was not aware of this thread before now. I saw War Horse a few weeks ago at the New London Theatre and it was very good. Formerly at the National. Amazing how the wooden horse puppet looks odd for the first few minutes but soon takes on a personality of its own.

Herdlike behaviour is to be avoided and people are I think being herdlike in currently being too conservative, stocks may be cheap. Warren Buffet recommends investing in downturns:

Factor in their own company and economic performance predictions in deciding whether to buy a stock. Obviously they cannot tell the future.

i have not seen the speech except that one line which caught newsnights attention. Might see it later.

Doom and gloom. There has been a 2 year cooling off period while companies recharge their balance sheets. Companies are now being bought up again on more attractive earnings multiples and more reasonable levels of debt. I believe people move from over confidence to over cautious often at the wrong times. And we seem to be in an over cautious period at the moment. Yes the boom was highly geared and many knew that it would crash but companies which have made it through the last 2 years have good survival possibilities in general. The future will be more cautious but long term investment prospects may be for slow but steady growth. I dont think the markets are the last to react. I believe they factor in the next 12-24 months. There are a lot of day traders but in general most money will stay invested longer and there must be a lot of cash ready to return to the markets. There are a lot of funds out there that have kept their money out of the market over the last 2 years and are waiting for some confidence to return. The M&A activity seems to be coming back to life.

No - I'm interested in what the general "mood" is. To me it looks positive, more than at any time in the last 2 years. Of course one bit of economic data can change things. As well as global prosperity, it affects a lot of London people's work, job security, remuneration etc. Of course there is sooo much to overcome in terms of austerity measure etc, but the markets tend to try to preempt the position 6 months hence and there seems to be a positive mood developing.

With Newsnight anticipating Vince Cable attacking Capitalism tomorrow, and the possibility of him promoting more taxes on banking and bankers, I don't think that will help. "Capitalism kills competition"... he will say. This is the Business Secretary of the Tory government. It may be a case of Vince talks and noone on the Tory party listens, let him have his say and hang himself.
