John Barnes reckons Liverpool will need to bring in three new mega signings during the summer window if they are to make a serious title push next season. The former Reds great went on say that while introducing youngsters into the team is fantastic, Liverpool also need to have experience playing alongside them to succeed. Kenny Dalglish's boys currently sit in fifth spot (Europa League) in the Premier League table, seven points behind Manchester City who are in fourth - with only three games left to play. Some had hoped that the Anfield club could qualify for the Champions League next season but speaking to Alan Brazil, Barnes claimed that Liverpool can class fifth as a good success. He said: "I think it's too late for Liverpool to get fourth spot particularly with Manchester City's victory at the weekend. Liverpool can finish fifth and next season they'll look to make a push [for the title] but they still need investment. Kenny being there is not just a breath of fresh air he understands the philosophy and traditions of Liverpool, of how the fans demand they play. The fact that he's not been at the club or in management for 15 years has no bearing on his ability. He's a fantastic manager, who understands football and understands Liverpool. They are a perfect fit and if Kenny had gone to a different football club it probably wouldn't have the same impact. Going to Liverpool where all the fans and everyone connected to Liverpool is behind him, you can see the immediate <b>...</b>

Meanwhile UTV Media (GB)'s Juice 107.6 FM flied the flag for Liverpool by scooping Silver in the Breakfast Show (under 10 million) category for Breakfast with Adam and Leanne. Scott Taunton, talkSPORT's Chief Executive and Managing Director of UTV Media (GB), said: "talkSPORT had never won a Sony Gold Award until last year, so to follow that success by being named Station of the Year and scooping two other Golds is a phenomenal achievement. It's particularly pleasing to have scooped the UK Station of the Year award in the face of such formidable competition from BBC stations." "These awards reflect the investment which UTV has made in presenter talent and sports rights since it acquired talkSPORT in 2005.

Not one of my random recordings). It was kind of weird to play first and sing after, because the song is better being played and sung at the same time XD It feels more free that way~ But for quality's sake and because I do not have 2 microphones (the guitar is also not an electric one), I recorded them separately~ Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the song~ I added a tiny bit violin though I still suck at playing the violin LOL. I barely have been playing though... I guess a total of maybe 6 hours spent with the violin. I've been too busy to even take it out, so =[. As for the video, I really wanted to make a real video for you guys, but this was a very last minute cover when I realized I wouldn't be able to make one for a month. I literally have not yet started packing for my trip and it's almost 2AM. XD Now I'm gonna go pack!!! I don't think I can make covers for about a month D: ... But I'll be online now and then haha. So keep up with me via Twitter or so! Have a nice summer~ ====================================

Playing career
Club career
Brazil started his career in England with Ipswich Town in 1977. He stayed with Ipswich until 1983, appearing a total of 210 times, and scoring 80 goals. He was not in the squad that won the FA Cup in 1978, but was a key player by the time they won the UEFA Cup in 1981, the same year that finished runners-up in the league. He remained an integral part of their side when they finished runners-up in the league once more the following season.In 1978, he played for the Detroit Express in the North American Soccer League, appearing in 21 regular season games, and 3 playoff games, scoring 10 goals in total. He then moved back to England to join Tottenham Hotspur in March 1983 for the season, making 31 appearances, and scoring 9 times. In June 1984 he joined Manchester United for a fee of £625,000. He stayed with United for two seasons, making a total of 41 appearances in the League, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup. He scored 16 goals whilst with them.
In 1986, he transferred to Coventry for £300,000, for a season, making 15 league appearances and scoring twice. Brazil was given a free transfer to Queens Park Rangers by Coventry. He made a total of 4 appearances for them, failing to score, and went on to play for Bury Town and Chelmsford City. His playing career ended at the age of 27 due to a serious back injury.
International career
He also made 13 appearances for the Scottish national team, the most notable of which saw him playing in the World Cup finals in Spain. He was the youngest member of the Scotland squad at the finals. His international appearances were limited as Scotland had a number of other strikers at this time such as Kenny Dalglish, Charlie Nicholas, Mo Johnston, Steve Archibald and Paul Sturrock, who were preferred to Brazil.
Media career
In 2001 Brazil joined radio station talkSPORT as a co-presenter on the weekday 6–10am programme. He started off co-presenting with Station Director, Mike Parry, then Graham Beecroft and currently co-presents with Ronnie Irani. The show has since been renamed the 'Alan Brazil Breakfast Show'. Brazil was sacked from the position in 2004, after the Breakfast Show was broadcast at the Cheltenham Festival, from Tuesday to Thursday. Brazil missed the Friday show, but was reinstated after complaints from listeners. As a caveat to his reinstatement, Brazil must now pay a £5000 fine for every show he misses.Brazil has several catchphrases the most common being "Why" which is often said in quick repetition. On hearing a location Alan will usually say "I've never been" or "beautiful" depending on whether or not he has visited it.
Personal life
In the early 1970s, Brazil was subject to abuse at Celtic Boys Club, by Jim Torbett. When Torbett was charged and tried in 1996, Brazil was a witness for the prosecution. Torbett was found guilty on child abuse charges and sentenced to two years in prison.A fan of horse racing, in 2003 he formed the Alan Brazil Racing Club based at Newmarket near to his home in Suffolk. In 2006 Brazil published a book co-written with Mike Parry called "There's an Awful Lot of Bubbly in Brazil" This was followed in 2007 by "Both Barrels from Brazil – My War against the Numpties", again co-written with Parry.
In September 2007, Brazil was arrested near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk on suspicion of drink-driving. He was convicted, banned from driving for 20 months, and given a £750 fine, as well as being ordered to pay £470 compensation to the court. In court Brazil pleaded not guilty, though at the time of his arrest, he admitted to having drunk a bottle of wine and being over the legal alcohol limit.
