We could go and get hammered. Equally we could go and hammer them. Houllier knows that the heat will be back on if we lose again, so he'll play for a draw. 1-1.
Houllier believes that our season is still alive..........we can still make fourth place, we are in the next round of the UEFA Cup, we are still in the Carling Cup........by our own standards, all of this represents FAILURE, but GH and the Board seem quite happy that we are ticking along quite nicely and that once we get through this transitional phase, we will win the league sometime in the next five years. Or so.
Our manager is a clown. I can't remember ever having a clown as manager of LFC. Shanks was terrific, Paisley was magnificent, Fagan was out of his depth (but he did win a European Cup!!!!), Kenny won major trophies, Souness took on a declining squad and didn't manage them well, Roy Evans wasn't up to it (but he loved the club and was honest).
But we now have a clown who is making the club a laughing stock. Living down here in London, well, the press report things differently. BUT, the most distressing thing is that no one really takes the club seriously. We are seen as a club, living on past glories and seemingly stuck in a rut........on a good day we can be good, or we can be good for part of a game. Equally, we can be awful.
So, Newcastle at the weekend?? Impossible to call. Therefore, a draw it is!!
