you're lucky u were gone mate. some cunt called st benitez was on, the gall of the fucker wishing our manager dead and all that with his saint nonsense. i'm telling u i reckon he was trying to liken rafa to one of them catholic child molester priests with his saint nonsense. don't worry plenty of us gave that twat some shit 'cos we knew with you gone our manager needed defending. he's gone now else i'm sure you'd have him

I like you Rage, you make my viewpoint all the more stronger.
Anyway I've decided to turn over a new leaf. I've come to the conclusion that anyone that can't see that Rafa is an excellent Manager must be mentally retarded, and it would be wrong of me not to try to help these people in future.

excellent isn't good enough. 3 years without a trophy. in the last 4 years he's won only the FA Cup. Next season is huge for Rafa - he'll have to deliver either the league or champions league else he'll be sent back to Spain. He now has all the control he could want, a transfer budget of easy 40 million after selling only his fringe players and a team that believes they can compete for the league. i have never doubted whether or not he's a excellent manager, year on year my doubts have increased as to whether he is good enough to bring us the league.

Well,that's not going to happen.
The payout he'd get if we sacked him next year would make the Houillier payout look like peanuts.
He's here for the long haul,now.
In 5 years,we'll see what the legacy is; ie whether we reclaim the glories of Liverpool past.
I'm not going to mention the alternative, it's too painful.
