  1. Spineless, gutless and pathetic. Pack your bags Rodgers...and take the Welsh Xavi with you....
  2. Unfortunately, it is often the manager who inspires players to have that sort of mentality. As much as I despise Ferguson, can you imagine any of his players giving less than 100% and getting away with it? We have put in some piss poor performances lately and Rodgers has come out and called them "outstanding" so you really have to wonder what message that sends out to the players.
  3. Anybody got a pic showing the plane's registration? Just asking, because if you go to the G-INFO website and type in the registration, it will show the name and address of the aircraft owner...just in case anyone wants to ask him who hired his plane? Assuming it was hired that is...
  4. The 'booing' that Terry got was mostly of the light-hearted pantomime variety. During one lot of booing, he stuck his thumb up to the Kop which earned him a cheer and round of applause. Nice touch I thought. Someone did try to start the 'John Terry's Ma...' song, but it never got going. Fair play to him though - he gave up his weekend off to go somewhere where he isn't exactly popular and helped raise money for charity, so for one day at least, he was okay. ish.
  5. I'm curious. Why do you need "funding" to write a book? Just need a PC, Open Office (which is free) and somewhere to sit. Not knocking your idea, but your approach is a bit weird...
  6. Pisses me off no end that. Stay to the final whistle and support the fucking team. So what if it takes a bit longer to get out. Plus I have to keep standing up/sitting down to let the twats out and it ruins the last 5 mins of every game. Got really pissed off when I missed the first goal at Gerrard's testimonial because I had to let some twat out to get a pie. A fucking pie! After 20 minutes!! Seriously, they should lock the gates until the final whistle and shut the pie stands while the game is in progress. Rant over....
  7. Hammer, nail, head. Exactly what I have been telling people for some time. Two seasons finishing just above mid table, no European football, not paying top wages anymore...we have very little here to attract top world class players. The only draw at the moment is the chance to play alongside other world class players like Suarez and Gerrard, but if we start off loading our best players, then nobody decent will come here. Without really good players, we wont break back into top four and we will become established as a mid table team. A steady decline if you like. We need a really good summer, we need the owners to show some intent and spend money. Rodgers, to his credit, has done okay with virtually no money to spend, landing the likes of Coutinho and Sturridge, but they can only do so much. We need some quality injecting into the squad so we can mount a serious challenge on the top four again. FSG need to put their hands in their pockets and back Rodgers in the transfer market. They haven't spent much in the last 12 months, and have off-loaded some deadwood and slashed the wage bill, so now that cash needs to be reinvested in the squad. If we get it wrong this summer, we wont be seeing European football here for the foreseeable future. It is a sad fact of life, but success in football is linked to how much money is spent. Chelsea and Man City have proved that. For decades, both were mid-table teams, but now they are pretty much guaranteed European football and top four finishes. FSG need to spend big and keep hold of Suarez, especially as Utd, City, Chelsea and Everton will be adjusting to new managers. If ever there was a time to go on the offensive...this is it, but we need world class players like Suarez to do it.
  8. Fucks sake! I thought this was supposed to be a football forum?? Do we really need 10 pages of shitty political bullshit? She's dead...whoo hoo...fuckin get over it! Now, can we get back to the football....pleeeeease??
  9. What worries me most is that our manager thought it was an "outstanding performance." If he is prepared to accept that load of shite as being good enough for us then we can forget top four or winning league any time soon.
  10. Agree with that. Thought we were superb when we had the ball going forward, the midfield did a good job of getting the ball back when we lost it, but when Zenit had the ball near our goal, the back four looked lost and panicky. Pepe too to some degree. Why the back four saw it necessary to pass the ball around between themselves in our box with Zenit players pressing them is beyond me. Just inviting pressure. Just kick the fuckin thing up the field and get it away from our goal! Que sarcastic cheers from Anny Road end when Pepe finally did just that. There was a LOT of good stuff tonight, really good stuff, but it is really basic, stupid errors that cost us. We don't lose as such...we self-destruct. That said, still gutted for Carra. Oh well, onwards and upwards!
  11. "We don't need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave. Our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us win matches, not flags, Chelsea fans lack passion." - Rafa Benitez
  12. One of the most striking scenes in last Friday's episode showed the contrast between the team and supporter's buses. On the supporter's bus, there was a great atmosphere, friendship, team spirit and enthusiasm. On the team bus, there was a bunch of bored looking individuals listening to music on those stupid headphones, all of whom looked like they wished they were some place else! If they can't even be bothered to speak to each other on the bus, is it any wonder they sometimes look like 11 strangers on the pitch?
  13. Rule 1 of journalism: Check and verify your sources/stories before publishing. 50,000+ spectators in the stands - 50+ Photographers pitch-side - 10 to 20 TV cameras filming the whole disaster...yet not one shred of evidence to support the scumbag's stories and still he prints them. No sympathy - ever.
