    Rather him than Wenger

    (yes, I have actually heard Wenger being thrown out there as a possible replacement!)

    I'm calling Liverpool's tumble to the bottom of the table, followed by relegation, now. I'll see you soon, Psy!

    Kenny D & Mark Hughes are not worthy suggestions. Martin O'Neill is a good manager, and even David Moyes (yes!) would do a great job I'm sure. If O'Neill goes to Liverpool, with James Milner follow?

    Names I've heard include Hiddink, who wouldn't be a bad shout but I don't think it'd happen, Scolari, who wouldn't be terrible by any means, Hughes, which wouldn't really be any bold statement for progress, and Dalglish, who I don't have much knowledge of. Oh, and Hodgson, which would be a massive shame for Fulham but I suppose such a thing is inevitable.

    I 100% agree with your assessments there... apart from Dalglish. I know a lot about him! He is considered by Liverpool fans to be the greatest player (and given the history!!!!!!!! WE HAVE BEST HISTORY EVER!!!! LFC!!! etc. of the club, that is a high accolade indeed) and was the last manager to win the league with us. He also won the Premiership with Blackburn in 95. Although then he went to Newcastle and Celtic and of course it's all downhill when you go to either of those places, and he's since been out of the management game for 9 years. If you look back to Liverpool's glory days, we achieved success through appointing managers from the "boot room" with a love of the club, and a long record of service, so I don't think it'd hurt to go that way again. Certainly better than getting Hughes or Curbishley or something. Hiddink and Scolari are probably out of our price range anyway, not to mention that Hiddink just signed a contract with Turkey.

    Right now, I think I wish Rafa was still manager. This season was a disaster, but he's had plenty of other decent seasons.

    Anfield's boot room may have brought a lot of success in the 70s and 80s but I'm not sure such a philosophy would work so much anymore, football has moved on somewhat. And wasn't Roy Evans part of that boot room and it's not like he did amazingly well. Mind you I think they should have just kept Benitez, for one more season at least.

    Do you think Jose Mourinho might change his mind? I mean, is Madrid REALLY that nice a place?


    Take care all.

    It will be the greatest place in the world with the best players in the world until another 'project' is proposed to him. He's said it himself - he no SAF, he won't stay with one club for a decade.

    EDIT: I thought some of you might appreciate this.

    Randy Lerner would've also been an acceptable second account for that gag.

    I find when the ball is by the net soccer can get exciting, the problem is most of the time it's just going back and forth. What type of stats are kept in fantasy soccer (football)?

    Goals, assists, yellow cards, red cards, "bonus points" (given to the top three performers as judged by some panel of people nobody cares about), goals conceded, saves, penalty misses, penalty saves.

    Some other fantasy football leagues might cover other things, but not to my knowledge. I find it hard to really appreciate football if you want to watch it without doing something else if you aren't following the team for a long time. I love watching Manchester United because they play "attractive" football, and because I watch almost every game, meaning I've got to know their players. Watching them play so often also allowed me to learn to really appreciate the game of football and how it can be of interest when you actually understand the movement of players etc.

    I'm sure it's the same for American football... I mean, I try to enjoy it but I know deep down that I never really will unless I watch games week in, week out. My enjoyment of rugby has even gone downhill since leaving NZ, but I know that when I return that I'll easily get back into things after a month or two of following the Auckland Blues. Although they suck compared to when I left.
