People wanted the Fat Waster out because he had lost the plot.

He deserved to go.


[/quote]

Hate when idiots say "fat waster" or things to the effect.

It's pathetic.
[/quote]

it's a typo. terrier meant fat waiter, which is much more dignified.

 

[ILD]

Fat waiter is also silly.

It's something you'd expect from Everton or United fans. No need for us to be calling him that.

ILD, have you ever been to a football game?

You hear 1000x worse shit on the terraces than anything that's every posted on this forum.....and that includes at Anfield.

I have, been to loads. Just don't see the point is using slurs handed down by rival fans, Fat Waiter etc. (That was in direction to spideys post above.)

But 'Fat Waster', come on, hardly needed is it really. He's gone. Move on.

He should hold a Party, that way the Midfield can meet the Forwards.

I wanted HOdgson instead of Dalglish simply because he'd done well with Fulham and Dalglish hadnt managed in over a decade.

I knew no really good manager would come here; but if I'd foreseen our disastrous football I'd rather we got some nobody from anywhere.

12 Fulham 38 11 3 5 27 15 1 7 11 12 31 -7 46 Table 2010
07 Fulham 38 11 3 5 28 16 3 8 8 11 18 5 53 Table 2009
17 Fulham 38 5 5 9 22 31 3 7 9 16 29 -22 36 Table 2008

I think there FA Cup run that ended in a cup final defeat in 1975 was a bigger accompishment than last Seasons EL?
Winning 7 away games in 3 Seasons isn't an accomplishment, especially considering the Season before we hired him, they won a staggering ONE away game all season?

 

[Asbo]

Oh and the closest they got to relegation fodder since 2001 was with Roy Hodgson as manager when they finished 17th in 2007?

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

I wanted anyone but Rafa, and stand by my view on it. Roy vs Rafa, I am glad we have Roy. Unfortunately he will not be able to cope with the expectations and pressure.

Given the choice between Fowler and N'Gog today, you'd take Fowler then as well on that basis ?

Yes Asbo, Liverpool (minus gerrard, minus torres, and probably minus mascher) under a manager who had lost the dressing room was a better solution than Roy.

So many Brendanites are out in force - happy with our demise as it proves their 'football intelligence'. I can't see Roy turning this around or staying here next year, but the happiness some people feel here is sad. Really sad.

I know what you are trying to get at, however the Roy is more like Chris Armstrong to Rafa Fowler.

I'm sure you have those stats saved on your laptop right next to your shrine.

Your worship of rafa is quite abysmal.

I'm frustrated with how the season has gone, but I'm glad Rafa isnt here.

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

I suppose it just shows how little respect I and others had for Rafa at the end of his tenure, we have been through this a million times already.
I am glad you are glad I am glad we have Roy and not some power-crazed ego.

 

[Asbo]

Worship?

I think Rafa is the best manager we have had since Dalglish, I think Roy is not Liverpool quality.

Its not worship, but I give credit where credit is due.

 

[manwithnoname]

Fowler vs Eggnog.

Shittest, most clueless and irrelevant analogy ever posted on 6cm

He had LOST the best players on the team last year - Yes, he is a good manager but he was very poor with Liverpool last year and most of us, bar those RAWKites, wanted him out. Man, had Rafa stayed, no Gerrard, no Torres ... YOU would rather have that?

Of course ... but to make it seems as if it would have been better with him here is ridiculous. I won't get into the idiotic name calling of him, or our players or current manager, but Rafa had to go. That should NEVER take away from the magical nights we enjoyed under him.

Fair comment Avram.

No one would want that but if Rafa was retained that is the situation we would be faced with.
