I spat tea on my keyboard because of the Rooney comment. Bet he's scab enough to go for it too.

You could try to make Rooney the most unpopular man in the history of the North-West of England.
I'm not sure it'll cost that much to get rid of Roy, doesn't he always just sign a year to year deal?
s'funny i was just laughing at the prospect of it..rooney at liverpool. god, it would be great. i'd be laughing forever.You could try to make Rooney the most unpopular man in the history of the North-West of England.

they'd need a top drawer dude lined up, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it.
speaks english too. has a swagger about him. there's a suggestion, however, that me or you would have won all that tin with those players at our disposal. but he's got something alright. nobody talks about frank rijkaard any more, even though he achieved the same kind of thing.... anyway i don't get how roy is so out of his depth, it's the premier league, he's done it before. i hoped for so much more.Guardiola is out of contract next june and has stated his desire to coach abroad sooner rather than later. That's the calibre of manager we should be after.

Well it's a different story now, If (big if) club is being run properly managers that would have previously told Liverpool to fuck off might be interested again. No one wanted the job 6 months ago by January there might be a queue to get in. Still think Roy is doing the best he can with the absolute shite at his disposal though. January will be vital. 2 proven midfielders in and Lucas, Rodreguez even Paulsen out to put some money in the bank or else you're heading for the bottom half.
Everton F.C. doesn't expect to win every game and thats why people think Moyes is doing a good job despite the fact that he's won nothing other than plaudits. Expectations are totally different. Call us arseholes if you want, but thats the way it is.
Liverpool may have, if we buy into this rating squads game, the 6th or 7th (or 8th or 9th) best squad in the league
Hodgeson inherited a mid-table squad and I'm sure that's were it will be in January. Few good signings here and there, even out the holes and you'll be up in the top half in no time. Deep down you know this too, most likely this is the biggest frustration.
Look at Fulham under Hodgeson; organised, commited and good to watch. Change of manager and it's the same story.
in case you hadn't noticed the 80s are over. Climb down from your ivory tower there and play in the mud with the rest of us you headcase. That expectation should have died some time during the last 2 decades when you didn't win a single title. In fact that expectation is going to be the very thing that strangles the life out of your club as you sack manager after manger in a quest to get a bunch of sub par fools to actually play.
Bottom line you can sack a dozen managers but you can't sack the players so demand changes all you like or start an "are Liverpool going to get relegated "
The biggest frustration isn't a shit squad - I'd probably get to that frustration is the manager was getting anything near a good performance out of them and it was still coming up short. The biggest frustration is all the things I outlined in my post about the way we play - the lack of committment from the players and manager, the lack of tactical nous and organisation. Like I said, legitimately the worst team in the league at the moment.
Look I'm more than willing to let this argument or discussion or whatever die now. Trust me I feel your rage and disappointment. We won the FA cup then finished 6th between 95-96 then dropped back into the relegation zone and went through 4 managers because we had no money and the club was being run extremely badly. I know all about it. I've never been a fan of sacking a manager after a few weeks of a season. Firstly If you were genuinely expecting to be a threat this year I think you were a bit niave and secondly this;
Sounds a lot like everything on this thread from the latter half of last season. That's all I'm saying.
Hope at the very least you've gotten some of that rage out of you by now and look forward to reading "I think we've turned a corner and can kick on from here" in the next few weeks.
It's all the milkman's fault apparently:
“I prefer not to talk too much about Liverpool,” said Benitez, who watched his former club’s Merseyside derby defeat on Sunday which left them second bottom of the table.
“I prefer not to talk about this because I feel really sorry for the fans.
“I was watching the fans and I was really sad after the defeat the other day.
“We have a saying in Spanish, which is: ’White liquid in a bottle has to be milk’.”
Benitez, who led Liverpool to second place in the Premier League in 2009 but could only manage seventh last term, added: “What does this mean? It means that after 86 points and finishing second in the league, what changed?
“The Americans, they chose a new managing director and everything changed.
“So, what changed?
“The managing director is involved in all the decisions: new lawyer, new chief of press, new manager, nine new players, new medical staff, new fitness coaches - they changed everything.
“At the beginning, they changed the managing director who was talking with some players, and they changed everything that we were doing in the past.
“So, if you want to ask again what was going on, it’s simple: they changed something and, at the end, they changed everything.
“So, white liquid in a bottle: milk. You will know who is to blame.”
Pressed further on the matter, Benitez would only say: “White liquid in a bottle. If I see John the milkman in the Wirral, where I was living, with this bottle, I’d say, ’It’s milk, sure’.”
washingcattle I don't think this was too argumentative but I apologise for calling you "fucking mental" cos that possibly comes across as aggressive. I said the same last season that Rafa had failed to organize and motivate the team in the second half of last season. And much as I wanted to stick by him, I just couldn't see how his position could be kept over the summer. There was unrest amongst the squad - see Riera, Benayoun and Carragher, not to mention Mascherano angling for a move, the huge amount of tension between himself and Purslow and the usual bile from the media.
I honestly thought, "jaysus - that was so bad, the only way is up from here" - but I was wrong. It was possible to make the squad worse over the summer and for morale to sink even lower, and lose the fans with your rhetoric.
As I said, I hate the Newcastle-ness of it all, but I'm extremely worried not that it could go cataclysmically wrong (as in relegation fight) rather than just another really underwhelmingly bad season.
As for Everton I said in a comment on a Guardian pre-season blog that if they could shake their "usual early season blues" they would challenge Spurs/City for the top 4, but they went and titsed that up with a shocking start again before entering their usual injury crisis period.
And to make matters even worse, United are about to enter some form of meltdown and I can't even enjoy it!
Does any one really want a shared stadium? Its incredibly unpopular with nearly everyone at Liverpool and I don't think its a logical scenario - though nor is Everton moving to Kirkby. Being more German is definitely the way to go.
