      That was the lad I was listening to racer I actually nearly crashed the car listening to him, this blokes opinion seemed to be based solely on what Hicks said last night said he could understand why the stadium wasn't built and Hicks and Gillette provided loads of money for Rafa who blew it.


       Two other Liverpool came on rubbishing him then and it finished with a Utd fan calling in saying what did Hicks and Gillette do wrong. It actually amazes me how many clueless fans are around.

      Christ, what is it about Rafa, that just winds so many people up.

      Some of these whopper's claims are worse than the bitterest of Evertonians moaning about Norweigians!!

      Strange thing is Corbally. . . My manc mates, who have given me no end of grief over the last few weeks, have suddenly gone very quiet. That caller would be well advised to do the same. Things are not going well for United right now. If Rooney leaves they wont get the money and its not like they have a youth team bristling with talent.

      Ya think Utd have enough problems without them ringing in trying to big up our ex owners. I suppose he thinks the Glaziers are great as well.

       Well Utd have about 2 years left before they are completely fu**ed financially and on the playing side.

      When Sir Alex goes they are convinced they will get Mourinho they should lower there sites with the problems at the club. I'd be thinking Big Sam would be more realistic.

      Your bang on mate.

      I don't know why they want Mourinho so bad, I mean why? And why would he take it?

      They are fast running outta money and the next manager after Ferguson is going to be under the most incredible pressure.

      If they like H&G so much they should want those two c*nts to buy them off the Glazers (Even though they can't) and see how bad they really are.

      Its these 'fans' which make me hate modern football, I think we have less of them than other clubs but F***ing hell why do our ones seem so intent on phone-ins.

      These phone calls are filtered, you can guarantee they want these types of callers through.  These phone in shows are about controversial & extreme views & anything that doesn't fall into these categories, i.e. reasoned debate, isn't wanted.

      I blame RAFA for the government cuts, and for Lehman brothers collapsing and the financial crisis that's followed, which then resulted in us not getting our new stadium.

      I know this because they said so on SSN and they are gospel and only Fox news is more accurate.

      I emailed sky earlier today, can't take everyone believing that. So annoying, I thought people were starting to understand but no, they believe the guy we've done everything to get rid off. One of the main reasons for this was him being such a 'lier' thought sky had got this at long last.

      Oh well, we are rid of them now and fingers crossed people will now see the difference with a club well run (please John W Henry)

      Time for the players and Hodgson to start doing there part now starting from tomorrow. Also us fans to get right behind them (like always, but without the boycotting and protests :D) Lets make lots of noise, COME ON LIVERPOOL!!! Hope those going enjoy being back at Anfield next weekend :)

      The fans who believed what the media and Hicks say are called stupid.

      They don't do enough research or actually check the real stats. Fact is, even if you don't check stats or anything, a real Liverpool fan the last 3 years would know Rafa did not have that type of money to spend. Bad signings, yes. Mistakes, yes. 300 million, no.

      Walked in the pub tonight couple of usual faces ,my dad comes out the snooker room ,there is a guy down there who is shooting off Rafa spent over 300mil when he was in charge ,he wants a hundred to say he did , dad says to me go on you know the facts take it off him i will back you (my dad wont ever gamble due to a serious addiction to it when we were kids.)now i know the guy have done for 25 years or more i know his kids  for fck sake and i am not one for taking the piss , so i just educated him on some little facts, to which end he thanked me for not being  the c**t i could have been and taken his money , education is a wondourous thing .

      Seeing those figures is a bit gutting Rafa may not have been a man motivator which was his down fall but f*uck me for all the s*it he gets about him in the transfer market the guy did worked magic with what he had. I know were trying to move forward but personally I miss the guy, he was LFC through and through

      Common sense would say that would equate to 10 30 million pound players take out Stevie and Carra who were already there and thats well by my simple maths 9 33mil pound  players  it didnt happen sometimes pure logic takes over or so it should.
