Some defend players, some defend the manager, Heimdall defends the f in sponsor!   

*awaits* person from said country where Skoll is from to go ballisitc on Super Sub

Nope interesting fact actually is that skol is the only native UK lager in mass production, so the worst beer is a UK lager   

I just find it silly to attack the sponsor, what have they done wrong, if they are paying too little then well done to them for negotiating a good deal.

I was also kind of taking the p1ss

[sgs]

I've learnt not to rejoice over stuff like this. You never know what will replace it...and how that might turn out.

Not just transfer dealings but also as a brand name represented in other countries we are not as well of as Utd and thats not right. Hopefully this will be put right.

we'r not 'right up there' with Utd because we havent won the league in god knows how long... he's had to do with our reputation not being as high and widespread as we'd like but to blame the poor guy for absolutely EVERYTHING that is wrong with club on and off the pitch is just plain daft imo...
not aimed at u bav by the way...

True but I still thing in some parts of the world like Asia we are not as well represented as we should be. I dont think a big enough effort was made after Istanbul tbh.

speaking as someone who lives in asia i can say we are well represented out here, however there is no point having megastores etc out here due to copies, even the manc shop struggles.

As for failures off the pitch, we have been cr@p at it well before parry arrived, the mancs have always been ahead on that score, even when they were sh!te on the pitch

Benitez keeping a straight face after Parry announces his departure from Liverpool

Rafa Benitez may have won the Anfield boardroom battle - but he is in no mood to admit it.

The Liverpool manager will be popping the champagne corks behind closed doors after the announcement this morning that his Anfield nemesis, chief executive Rick Parry, is to leave the club at the end of the season.

And somebody should have told Benitez the Oscars were on last week as he put on a world beating performance in pretending he had nothing to do with Parry's exit during his weekly media briefing.

Over the last 18 months, Liverpool has been spilt into two very different and increasingly hostile camps, with co-owner Tom Hicks and Benitez on one side going head-to-head with fellow owner George Gillett and Parry on the other.

Benitez has been fuming about the power Parry has wielded over contract deals while Hicks has also been highly critical of his 11-year tenure, believing he has not delivered the necessary financial success off the pitch.

But when probed about the subject, Benitez went into diplomacy overdrive, claiming he had no part to play in the latest Anfield off-field saga.

Nothing to do with me: Benitez insists that Parry's departure is a matter between the owners and the chief executive.

He said: 'I think it is a decision between the owners and Rick Parry. We have to work together until the end of the season.

'He will stay until the end of the season and after this I will wish him all the best. It is a decision between them. I just concentrate on the football.

'My personal relationship with him is not bad, we want to work together and to win.'

And Benitez was equally as cagey when discussing his new contract deal - an ongoing drama that is beginning to test the patience of even the most loyal Kopites.

He has refused to sign everything placed in front of him for the last six months but hopes the end is in sight and he can consider signing a new deal soon.

He said: 'In terms of my contract, we will have new contacts maybe this week. My advisers and my people will go back to the owners and see if we can progress.'

-

The owners are comnig down next week I think so hopefully he will sign it then.

how do i delete this

[Zidane]

Hopefully this turns out to be good news, how can Rafa NOT sign the contract now.

[Dundalk]

It has been annonced that their will be a national day of celebaration when Rafa signs his new contract

However this day could happen in the next 5 days or in the next 63 years, nobody quite knows yet

Wrong! If you haven't seen the rest of Asia properly how can you make that statement?

I travel regularly throughout asia on business, also all asian countries get the same espn channel on TV so I also know the majority of tv is aimed at LFC. so i guess my knowledge on asia is a little better than yours

anything else you want to test me on, have you ever been to asia, have you been to china and hong kong in order to validate your opinion that we are not marketed in those countries or is it just guesswork on your part. have you been to malaysia, singapore, vietnam, cambodia, laos, japan, korea, taiwan, indonesia, well i have spent a lot of time in these places over the past 6 years so I guess i am not wrong after all
