Fulham are cackoffski every season mate. THey are a tiny club with tinier aspirations, dwarfed by their close neighbours Chelsea. his is why when Hodgson got them to 7th in his first full season then to a Europena final in his second full season, without spending any money it was/is an astounding achievement.

They don't play route one football though, they haven't got the players for it. Now back to topic.

Hmmm, interesting. Tell me, when they launched it, who if anybody got around Zamorra if he was the target? Also, after they'd gotten around him, how did the players get back into their positions? Also, did Duff and Davis play, and if they did, what part did they play in this debacle of association football?

Fecking Danny Murphy, that's the last time I call him a cultured midfielder

How did you get to that conclusion? Surely it's more likely that the a team who stick everyone behind the ball, play on the counter  and hoof it into space are perhaps more likely to be set-up to win games away from home, Houllier managed it many a time with LFC. It's not uncommon for teams in this league to play decent attacking football at home only for them to look a completely different team away from home.

You can get the good ship "Wearefecked" up and sailing, and if we can't manage to improve on where we currently are (which is surely the ambition for everyone), then by all means I'll row accross in a couple of seasons from the good ship "surelyitcantbeanyworse" and we can swap stories.

I'm pleased to read you think Roy should find it quite easy to improve us if he has the same squad as was available to previous management, we can at least agree on that piece of positivity.

I think we can get higher than 7th but it won't be because of new manager it will because Torres and Gerrard might well spend a season fit and not injured but even then I don't expect to be in the CL spot .

Benny, that is an unbelievable quote to make. Not the managers success. How can roy succeed if people like you throw that at him?

Did we win the CL league cos of Gerrards exploits or rafas genius? You cant have it both ways. Was it rafa's genius that got us second or cos we were lucky with last minute winners?

For me, Rafa was a disaster in his last couple of seasons, but hid behind our problems at boaardroom level. Now, roy is here, he knows the conditions and his willing to try his very best to get us back into cl contention. Im backing him 110%.

Roys Reds Cmon

What, a CL final and a couple of semi finals and a decent run in the league count as a disaster to you? Buckle your seatbelt, fella.

Right, you obviously cant understand what is written. My post was to Benny in regards to his comments on Gerrard and Torres playing injury free, and Hodgson not taking credit for it.

I mentioned Rafa's last 2 years at the helm, not the previous 3, as being a disaster. Tell me, did you watch liverpool for the past 2 years? Telling me it was fantastic stuff? Rafa lost his focus and made terrible transfer decisions and the team style stagnated.

Rafa has gone, the fairytale is over for you pal, buckle your seatbelt for the Roy Nightmare adventure!

I take it you will be watching someone else ....maybe its a team with a world renowned and  celebrated manager with the knack for success
