Comments on: Another Good Day for Liverpool’s Burgeoning Trade in Stolen Olympic Bronze Medals http://www.runofplay.com/2008/11/06/another-good-day-for-liverpools-burgeoning-trade-in-stolen-olympic-bronze-medals/ Attacking Football Sat, 11 Feb 2012 05:36:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Zach http://www.runofplay.com/2008/11/06/another-good-day-for-liverpools-burgeoning-trade-in-stolen-olympic-bronze-medals/#comment-2383 Zach Fri, 07 Nov 2008 23:48:51 +0000 http://www.runofplay.com/?p=2906#comment-2383 This plot-line, as it has for sometime, raises many questions for me. First, are these men not millionaires? And, as such, couldn't they afford to pay a couple hired thugs to hang out at the manse for a few hours every weekend? Second, why does this happen only in Liverpool? Actually, scratch that question. I think we all know. This plot-line, as it has for sometime, raises many questions for me.

Is it possible that the "two goalkeepers" problem can be traced to the thief's having fallen behind Liverpool's transfer activity, so that he had to rob Reina after Dudek was transferred? Actually, I think the Reina robbery happened before the Dudek transfer. Maybe he just needed a backup! I'm buying a magnifying glass. We're on to something here.

Then, when the list grew 10 strong, and after careful perusal of the Liverpool squad, I would deduce that the leftback slot (say) was the missing piece, and catch the villain red-handed as he tried to jemmy Fabio Aurelio's patio doors open. But there's two keepers on the list so it doesn't work.
