do you get to see many games live.

Unfortunately, I don't (1 live match a month). But I usually scramble for clips and torrents on-line.

On the other hand, football is getting more and more attention in the US. With the good infrastructure (for sports) that we have here and good marketing, football is eventually going to be very important for us. Hopefully then I won't have to move to Merseyside and buy season tickets.

Rafa FAILED to bring back Michael Owen, OMG, thats a sinner's mistake! Sack the manager now, hell if we'll wait till even mid-season! Bring back Gerrard Houllier from Lyon, long live Roy Evans!! 


























































Gotta admit, some of you guys are better off supporting Everton... 

[dosserboy]

the rift did seem real, at the end of the games Cisse seemed to be upset in his interview on tv.
the only time i have seen pull together was in the seconed half of the cl final.

Hey Lakes, when I saw Cisse upset during his interview I thought there's a man who WANTS to play for LFC and does not want to leave! Get behind him now 100% yes?.......You had that Carlsberg yet?

[Mikz]

I think Lakes is just really disappointed with the outcome as many of us are today. I dont think Rafa fancies Owen at all and well..his jobs not in any threat lol. Thank God stevie stayed or...he wouldve felt the pressure. Maybe Rafa thinks Cisse can do exactly the same job for us,who knows and he didnt want to see us gettin ripped of by Madrid. Im just gutted. Fair play to Souness-hes got his man every time this season

[teamleader1]

Letting rafa go would be madness-
but I share your fears for the coming season-
cissi (potentialy very good)
crouch (potentialy very good)
morientos (sh!te)
and thats it !
I want to see at least 2 class signings in the next 2 days-
after letting baros go - not getting owen- surely RB has got something in the pipeline-
I want to see our manager warn other teams that cissie is not for sale instead of giving a shrug and a smile-
you could tell by cissies interview after the SC that he had been given no assurances by RB that his future was safe- (poor management at best)
I was also very uninpressed when I arrived at the ground and heared the line up against sophia- we got very lucky that night-
I to have reservations about some things that Rafa does- but five year contracts at anfield have always meant five years so he gets my full backing - and last season wasnte to bad bad really!
lets just hope that tommorrow brings good news.

we don't sign MO and suddenly the knives are out. we forgot what happened last season. although they were no big names signing, so far, i thought the team played very well. we were very compact and the back four solid. the only gripe we were shooting blanks in front but let give our strikers a chance.

tell you what, let's petition to sack RB and get souness back. he can bring MO with him. i'm sure you will be thrilled then.

i am sorry but my knives  have always been out. he is a great European manager but not a good prem manager and that is my point.

How one earth can we ever bloody know this if you don't give him a proper bloody stupid CHANCE FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex Ferguson would NEVER have achieved what he did at MAN UTD if they got rid of him when things where going so bad at the beginning of his MAN UTD career!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct, & things could'nt be going better as far as I'm concerned. Little ol'me like.

My thoughts, for what they are worth are this.
Michael Owen back at Liverpool would have been nice.
Paying twice the amount we sold him for, not nice. Especially when we've only actually received £4million from Real.
Michael Owen demanding assurances from Rafa of regular first team football, not nice, especially after Michael ignored the pleas of Rafa, who had flown to the England Team HQ especially to try and persuade him to stay at Liverpool.
I feel sorry for Michael, he obviously wants the best for his career, and he ends up at Newcastle. He is guaranteed first team football there, certainly. So is Shearer, but for all his time there he hasn't won anything. Has he?
Michael has protected himself anyway, if the stories are to be believed. Get out clauses galore.
I don't blame Rafa for digging his heels in and not bowing to Michael's demands for guaranteed first team selection. Who the feck does he think he's dealing with? The man he fobbed off in his rush to go to Real, that's who. No regular place no England place, hence his desire to join Liverpool or stay at Real or join Newcastle for a one year loan deal. Poor Michael. Real's greedy eyes lit up when a desperate Newcastle offered £17million. Of course they would sell him! Poor Liverpool can't afford him, nor his wage demands. How much is Steven Gerrard on? It makes for a flexible team to build it around a particular style of midfielder than a particular style of striker. Michael must have thought he was on to good thing publicly stating he only wanted to go back to Liverpool, note he didn't want Arsenal or Chelsea? Also note that they didn't want him. Does anyone know why? Does the rotation system have anything to do with it and that only certain defenders or midfielders seem immune from it?
For myself, I am glad that we have a manager that knows his own mind and wont be pushed into doing anything he doesn't want to do. For Rafa's sake, I hope Morientes justifies his faith in him this season, because if this thread is anything to go by, the naysayers will have a field day.
I also reckon that Rafa will only regret losing Michael if Newcastle finish above us in 4th place.
After last season, I look to this one with a lot more hope than in previous years.

its not rafas fault owen left the club on his own accord   how some good members on here can question rafa is beyond me   how did you feel about rafa when he won us the cl    stop letting your emotions get the better of you   forget last season in the league cisse broke his leg, alonso out for 3-4 months  meller injured, flo out for a while  and at the same time baros was out to      this season will be a far cry from last term    liverpool did all they could to land owen   sky sports 1 revista de la liga said tonight lfc tabled 12 bulls for owen its on again at 2.30 am  which goes to show they wanted to shaft us greedy feckers 

[Everton Killa]

The ambition he has now in liverpool i'd like him at da club for about 8 years or more

[Ola Mr Benitez]

lakes thats shameful man. you must be a closet nuke supporter. Your black and white avatar might suggest this.

lol i dont think so mate, the av is of a Madness bloke...are you to young to know them ...Madness

A ha!!!  I see MADNESS! 

Explains a lot!

NOB

[HacksawJimDuggin]

I can't believe that so many Liverpool fans are doubting Rafa. In my eyes he has done a great job for us. Long may he stay at Anfield for I feel he is the best chance we have of the "Glory Days" returing to Anfield. Give him time to build and galvanise his team/squad. His track record in Spain speaks for itself but this didn't happen overnight!!

[siti_zaiton1982]

this is crazy,for goodness sake,Michael gone to NU,ends of.LETS MOVE ON,PEOPLE !!
