    Well if a player is to be judged by all possible aspects of their position, then there are suddenly a hell of a lot more overrated players out there.

    Taking that logic pretty much the whole squad is overrated bar Reina and Torres.

    Finally, a liverpool fan talking sense.

    What exactly is so fantastic about the post?


    That a guy puts up a post yesterday full of the same facts that others have been putting up since before Rafa left?


    Even in this forum, I can remember the likes of Mr Alan posting pretty much the same things for months now, and I heard nobody calling his posts on it fantastic.


    In twenty years time, nobody will be seeing a lot of those achievements as anything to brag about. Similar things were said about Ged. When he left he had brought us to our highest points total in the EPL at that time, his teams had long undefeated runs that were lauded.

    The thing ios that over time, what gets remembered most is trophies.

    Rafa has won trophies at LFC, one massive one, and as such will be remembered fondly by history.


    The bits about the owners and the money grabbing side of thing? Well I would have expected that was obvious to all but the most blinkered supporters for a long time now.

    You excel with even more sense. Anyone that was here in Geds final days as Liverpool manager will remember the exact same kind of comments as we have seen about Rafa's achievements, remember the treble? Six years later Ged is berated as being useless by a majority of Pool fans largely in an attemot to justify Rafas spending.

    In time I expect to see the same kind of comment about Rafa because lets be honest theres not a great difference between Geds and Rafa's achievements and in time that's exactly what they will be judged on.

    Just about though, looking at some of the odds.

    It went this way when Ged left if memory serves me.


    One or two UK based managers being favourites for a long time, then the two favoured foreign managers (Rafa and Jose) having their odds shortened until the odds of one drew level with the odds on the favoured UK manager.

    Woy won't be commiting himself to a Club until after wednesday, he would be a shoe in for the English job if it becomes available later in the week.

    by the way, if Capello gets the bullet he'd instantly be my favourite for the job, and one of only a couple who wouldn't be a downgrade on whats gone before.

    Would he want to stay in England though?

    I wouldn't mind Capello, he'd have the balls to stand up to the Americans.

    Unfortunately i reckon that's why it won't happen, combined wit not wanting to pay huge wages etc

    No mention on here about the planned protest marches on July 4th. Should be quite a few people turning up from different fansites, different supporters groups etc.

    I just got my flights today,still some cheap flights available from Dublin in and out on the day.

    4th July 2010 - Our Independence Day
    Sunday 20th June 2010


    As discussed at our recent EGM, Spirit Of Shankly is to host an "Independence Day" Rally at on Sunday 4th July at St George's Hall from 12 noon. Using those famous steps were Shankly himself once stood, we have a good line up of speakers and musicians, including Karen Gill, Neil Fitzmaurice, John O' Connell and Sons of Anfield, with Councillors, MP's, Ex-players and others to be confirmed shortly.

    We will be officially launching our Supporter Ownership proposal, and our Declaration of Independence from Tom and George.

    This event is for every Red - Young and old, Male and Female, from Bootle to Berkshire, Anfield to Aberdeen. It is our chance to come together, and say loud and clear that we don't want them here anymore.

    Make sure you are there. Make sure you are heard.

    "Tom and George - It's OUR club, not yours!"

    Further information and acts will be announced shortly. There is no march planned. This event is for all the family and all ages will be catered for, including entertainment/food/drink. If you can be there, you need to be.

    Sounds good, IMO that's exactly the type of protest the various pressure groups should be organising. A good turnout and a peaceful rally will enforce the message and put more pressure on the owners.

    I can think of about 20 far more satisfying ways to get a 2 week ban than that. Bad waste imo.

    The fella in question also sets sevants on fire so we'd be better off without him. Imagine if Riena let a soft goal in.

    Watching Alonso run the show tonight just shows what we missed last year.

    We have nobody who can do what he does, ie control a game and spray balls all over the place, short or long. Rarely misplaces a pass too. He is almost always looking to play the ball forward.

    Miss him :(
