So whats new ? anything different been said over the last 8 pages ?

Yes. Even more people think the manager should go now. You used to be in the slight majority, you're now in the distinct mnority. Not that that makes any difference of course and nor should it, but this is a barometer thread and that's just about how the land lies as of now.

I would estimate that if we paid rafa off at the end of the season and installed Mourinho as manager, 60% would be in favour. If we did the same and put someone less controversial in charge (Hiddink or Rijjkjaard or someone similar), 80% would be in favour. King Kenny? 90%.

I think Rafa needs a miracle second half of the season to survive.

Michael it might be the slight majority on the forums but its certainly aint at the match, The Anti rafalites are still the minority,

[Benny The Noon]

pure luck was instanbul . everyone knows that lad.

The year is 2007 and little bluenose Duncan is talking to his bluenose Dad.

SON “Dad, my mates in school told me that Liverpool won the European Cup for the 5th time in 2005 – are they right dad?

DAD “Yes SON , it’s true, but they were dead lucky SON , all the way through the tournament”

SON “Why dad?”

DAD “Well in the group stages …..”

SON “What dad, did they have a team from Azerbaijan, Israel, and Ireland in their group?”

DAD “Well no, they had Monaco, Deportivo la Coruna, and Olympiakos”

SON “Well they still sound like 3 easy teams to me dad”

DAD “Actually Monaco reached the final the year before, Olympiakos had won their league 7 times out of the previous 8 seaSON s, and Deportivo finished above the galacticos of Real Madrid in their league”.

SON “Jeez dad, that sounds like quite a difficult group then”.

DAD “yeh I suppose your right SON , but they were still lucky – it took a mishit shot by Gerrard against Olympiakos to get through”.

SON “oh is that the goal were your hero Andy Gray goes berserk shouting “you beauty, you beauty, what a hit SON , what a hit!!!!”

DAD “yes SON it is”

SON “oh ok. Well what happened in the last 16 dad, who did they draw?”

DAD “Bayer Leverkusen”

SON “Bayer who?”

DAD “Exactly SON , but they had beaten Real Madrid 3-0 at home, and won their group that included Dinamo Kiev and Roma too.”

SON “bloody hell dad, they sound good”.

DAD “yes, I suppose you’re right SON ”

SON “so did they win on away goals or something”

DAD ”errrrr, no, they won both legs 3-1 each”

SON “oh – well who next then dad”

DAD “Juventus”

SON “How the f#ck did they get past them Dad?”

DAD “Well they did – they won 2-1 at home, and cruised to a 0-0 away draw without Juve having hardly any chances”.

SON “were Juve sh#t at that time – had all their decent players gone or something?”

DAD “well actually they still had players like Del Piero, Nedved, Ibrahimovic, Thuram, and Buffon in the side. And they won Serie A a few weeks later.”

SON “wow, they beat the Italian champions elect – which easy team did they get in the semi then?”

DAD “Chelsea”

SON “Chelsea – for f#cks sake – what a easy draw – they’ve won nothing, Everton have won more than them”.

DAD “well that seaSON they won the Premiership and League Cup but the Red didn’t let them score in 180 minutes of football”

SON “Jesus Christ – so Liverpool beat the English Champions elect too”

DAD “yes SON , they bloody well did”.

SON “so after all that I suppose all the good teams had been knocked out”

DAD “not quite SON , AC Milan awaited them in the final”

SON “no way – aren’t they the 2nd most successful team in the competition’s history”.

DAD “yes SON they are”

SON “so were Liverpool lucky because Milan had all their good players out with injuries”

DAD “no – they had Shevchenko, Crespo, Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Kaka, Stam, Dida, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Seedorf”.

SON “your ‘avin a laff”

DAD “it gets worse SON , Milan were cruising 3-0 up at half-time”.

SON “what happened, did they have 3 men sent off in the second half – how did Liverpool get back into the game?”

DAD “no, Milan had no men sent off, the Red scored 3 goals in 6 minutes”

SON “against the best defence in Europe”

DAD “yes!!!, against the best defence in Europe”

SON “so what happened next - extra time?”

DAD “yes SON , and Dudek made the luckiest save ever to stop a Shevchenko shot from a yard”

SON “why was it lucky dad – did it hit him on the , nose, shoulder or something”

DAD “no SON , his hand”

SON “well aren’t goalies meant to save shots with their hands”

DAD “yeah but that’s besides the point”

SON “then what”

DAD “penalties!”

SON “English teams are at penalties”

DAD “not this f#ckin time they weren’t – they only missed one. And that’s how Liverpool became the luckiest team to win the European Cup”.

SON “but I bet when they brought the cup home there was hardly anyone to watch as all Liverpool fans live anywhere but Liverpool you say. How many was there, 5,,000 or so?”

DAD “1 million people lined the streets”.

SON ”so let’s get this straight dad – Liverpool had 3 good teams in their group, they then knocked out a team who had beaten Real Madrid 3-0, they then knocked out the future Serie A champions, then knocked out the future Premiership champions, before coming back from 3-0 down to beat the 2nd most successful club in Europe. And then the whole population of Liverpool came out to welcome them home!!!!

DAD “that about sums it up SON ”

SON “dad?”

DAD “yes SON ”

SON “can I have a Liverpool shirt for my birthday next week, and can you stop calling me Duncan – I’m Stevie from now on”

I think Rafa needs a miracle second half of the season to survive.

Steady on mate
Rafa didnt perform any miracle
He was involved in one...

pure luck was instanbul . everyone knows that lad.

Pure luck in 2007 an all,

Feckin joke this supporting nonsense . I'm right onto it now .When the chips are down , you jump ship and feck the man in charge .He's paid loads of dosh and he'll get another job soon enough ,so feck him .. The cheek of the c,unt taking my money and having the balls to play dross like that . The Liverpool way was lost in long long ago . It's the SKYWAY for me or the Newcastle way . I have every right to call for the managers head when he doesn't do what i want , it's my money isn't it . He's had enough support from me , the useless get . I know now , he couldn't give a sh!t about LFC , cos it's madrid he wants .It always has been . He's engineered the whole thing , designed it so he walks straight into the madrid job .

Why should we the loyal fans , who have been subjected to five nearly six years of this . It's been a shambles from start to finish ,admittedly with a few lucky cup wins on the way .The vast majority of it has been awful though , with how much money spent .About a billion wasn't it . Means frig all though , cos the mancs seem to do it , and chelsea and arsenal oh err maybe not arsenal (they do play  with pretty patterns though ).  So i'm throwing my lot in with the majority on this forum and wanting him sacked .Lets throw the collective newkit wieght behind JOSE and see what happens . Next time i go the match , i'm shouting it from the top of my voice . SACK RAFA , I'M FROM THE INTERNET YOU KNOW!!
