Picked up his quote from RAOTL made by Houllier today. "I'll always love liverpool its close to my heart and something i will take to my dying day .The first result i always look for.My only regret maybe I came back a little early" A class act as always. Gutted for him tonight.

"The first thing Rick asked me was whether I was a fan of the club. I simply replied: 'I am now'." Rather read poems from the likes of Dave Kirby, Mottman, etc who got history and emotional ties with this club.

Vedgy is really a top lad. Still comes over to see the redmen in action from time to time. Pity he had some much trouble with his hamstring, good player. One of few decent Norwegian players we've had.

Great one from Mottman on RAOTL: Phil Neville was arrested last night... for assaulting a taxi driver who asked him what way he was heading.

Got some decent airings away at Newcastle this season when the geordies left the ground. Superb chant.

We hadn't beaten Man United in the league under Rafa, then we beat them in the cup. We hadn't beaten Birmingham in the league under Rafa, the we beat them in the cup. We hadn't beaten Chelsea in the league under Rafa....

1. The buss ride back after the game. The bus hardly moved and took ages, everyone in the bus completely knackered but all with a big grin on their face. But at the same time it hadn't really sunk in what we've just witnessed. Took a while didn't it? Incredible stuff. 2. Taksim Square, matchday. Sea of red. Banners, ale and singing in sunny Istanbul. 3. The walk to the ground. Redmen everywhere walking to the ground out in nowhere towards a lonely big stadium. Looking at the photos it looks biblical.

They could use one of these: Btw this thread is funny as f***. Think my fellow ooc's should get a grip and don't take themselves so seriously.

Your pathetic club knows f*** all about apologies. Bunch of cowards.

Oh I hate those stairs.

MoM for me tonight. Lively and creative. What a goal that could have been...

Well in Robbie lad! Played well and got his goal.

w****** I don't think there's any need to boo the manager's decision even if you don't agree with him. And we were winning as well. Shut your gob, applaud the player off and the one who comes on. Found this interesting observation on raotl: Rafa's reaction to Morientes' goal "Anyone else see it? Pointed to the crowd, gave two armed punch and then crossed his hands horizontally, as if to say "Enough, no more" in releation to the booing perhaps? Maybe I'm reading too much into it but he looked slightly pissed off. " Anyone notice this?

Didn't that woman faint about three times or something like that during the event?

I think we all agree that he's a great player but that isn't an excuse for behaving like an arrogant t*** IMO.

Signed. Respect our 96 friends.

Why dislike him? I dislike players who's arrogant, players that got a crap attitude who don't put the effort in. Garcia always does his best, his commitment and workrate is spot on. Of course there's things with his game which frustrates from time to time but it isn't like he's doing it on purpose. Though there are room for improvement in some areas of his game, players of his type will lose possession at times because they're always trying to create things and make things happen. How can you dislike a player who's committed to the club? Tbf, today's football isn't exactly full of those among all the mega-rich, half-arsed popstars. Garcia hasn't had a great season but he's a player I'd like to see us keep.

Sami has been an absoutely fantastic player for us, but I don't feel he's been underrated. Think he's received the recognition he deserves. Think the same can be said about Hamann as well. Henchoz was another great servant I think, who perhaps didn't get that much recognition, one of the reasons may be that he starred alongside another class player who perhaps didn't play that much better but were 'easier' to spot in the games through his dominance in the air and such. Carra's finally seems to get the plaudits he deserves as well. He's been superb for years now and vital to the team. Not sure he was underrated but Rob Jones was a really decent right-back for us for years. If it weren't for the injuries he'd had loads of England caps. Going back to the 70s and 80s and underrated players, the arl fellas are better off giving their views regarding this topic.

2-1 FT. Well played boys.

70th min. Ryan on for Parsonage. 83rd min. Nardiello on for Lindfield.

Southampton hit the post after a decent attempt.

Great chance for Southampton, good save from Roberts.
