The gloating when we lose is a little off though, he seems to derive legit pleasure out of it. I think killfiling him is unnecessary though. > If anyone can look back at this season when it's over, and say that it's > been a good season, they're deluded. Hasn't been good :( You figure we'll get fourth? United will win their fourth straight, with what is their weakest team in a while and you've got to hand it to SAF, he just keeps them getting *results*.

You don't seem to have "got" me at all GBU. If there is a constant refrain in everything I say it is the rather simple point that if you (generic) want support *now* when Rafa is failing at an alarming rate then you (generic) should have demanded the *same* support when Houllier was committing the *very same crimes*. Otherwise you (generic) will come across as a bit of a hypocrite and people will rightly scorn your (generic) demands for support *now*, especially considering you (generic) weren't prepared to give it six years ago, when Houllier was sacked for finishing fourth, for playing awful football, for fielding terrible players, and for making pathetic excuse after pathetic excuse when we lost. Just the way it is now. Strange how things turn out eh? So now the question is, why are you questioning MY support, when I have put myself on the line to stand up for a Liverpool manager who was and still is abused by so-called Liverpool fans? Why do you assume it is I who is in the wrong, when "all around you there are so-called fans in this very newsgroup" still mocking a Liverpool manager and mocking the players he bought, players who have won the only honours worth talking about since 2001? Strange how it goes eh? I support the manager through thick and thin and then I get lambasted for not supporting the manager. Then I turn a few things on their heads just to show them what support is and the fools think I've completely turned sides. But I expected better of you tbh. PS If I don't talk football these days ( *everything* I say in here is football-related by the way and if you don't understand that you don't understand football), it's because Rafa and his stars have given us no *football* to talk about.

I thought last night we were amazing with some passages of play despite having ten men. we showed that against Arsenal. But as people have commented its a very open championship this season but definitley ourselves and Chelsea merit their postitions. It may be like this to the very end of the season but it will still be us or Chelsea I believe. Liverpool are so dull and Arsenal almost feeble against the bigger clubs. Arsenal will remain so until they have a Rooney or Drogba up front and Liverpool will remain so until Rafa goes.

I think Chelsea will do it. I hope they or Arsenal do, I just don't know if they'll be consistent enough. I think Utd have a few dropped points to come, but although Chelsea have a fairly tough run-in, I still think they're favourites. |
