I hope your not being sarcastic or something.

If I was to bet on it I would say he had just been told he will not have the transfer funds he was promised AGAIN. In particular the funds for Masher. He spat it and they told him to concentrate on coaching the team. The w*****s.

Totally agree with theme of this thread. Rafa is a workaholic with a steely determination to succeed. His Father was in the Media I believe as well. Personally think Rafa is a master of using the media to his/our advantage. He saw what these pricks were up to a long time ago. The "Athens" spit shocked me at the time, I thought "WOW" thats out of charachter. Now I realise he was just making sure the Yanks stood by their promises. After that I think G&H realised he was a bit to clever for them and started their search for a "YES" man. Keep fighting the good fight Rafa. Anyone who will go the extra yard, even to the detriment of their own position get a whole lot of respect from me. If you left today I would still hold you in the highest regard of anyone I have seenor heard of. LEGEND.

Yeah Sorry. Thought you were talking to "Boca". When I said personal I meant something close to him, as in friend, family, whatever.

Not obviously, he didn't say. Having said that I didn't read it that way. Stevie has really matured in the last 2 years though. I don't care what anyone says he is the Captain now and he does it well. Wasn't sure that would be the case back then.

If he is a supporter he wouldn't pay the deposit on G&H loan, surely. If he is smart he would talk to DIC and try to get a share and board position.

Excellant. Thanks Elisha, I watched his celebration on TV (in OZ) and wondered what it was about. After the 2nd I could see it was something personal. Haven't seen Stevie enjoy himself on the pitch in general play like that before TBH.

And the Arabs have most of it I would say.

I was going to ask who Gerrard was pointing to after his 1st but assume it was Alex and the kids. He was enjoying it and it was for someone that is for sure. Alex being pregnant is a good shout. Maybe they found out it was a boy! Stevie Jnr, love it.

It's a great piece, no doubt about it.

Gerrard Pennant Alonso

Surely there is no doubt. Either that or they are just really, really stupid.

Oliver Kay makes it clear that Rafa is being shafted with a very big stick. It appears that Rafa is prepared to keep taking it for what I see as an unstoppable belief in our football club. Keep going Rafa (LFC Legend)

Seriously, that's not on.

Very well said. Imagine being Rafa trying to inspire our team while this s*** is going on. Why doesn't he just leave? well he told us last week, he loves us. You can say he is waiting for the cash but that is bulls***. He could leave for more easily and has turned it down before, more than once. Time to sing his name, loud and proud.

Is right and well said.

I see it as you do a nd your right i cant understand it either.

Because Rafa is working under ridiculous stress under ridiculous circumstances. So far he hasn't given up but it now seems the ridiculous uncertainty hanging over the club and his position is taking its toll on both him and the players. I am just thankful he hasn't taken the easy option and gone to any multitude of clubs that would take him. I am thankful he loves us so much to try and stick it through. I hope people realise what this guy is trying to do for us cos he doesn't want this great club to sink like the Titanic and is fighting all the way. I hope we sing his name at every game long and loud.

Too right. You are finally on the right track Kev. I am on the other side of the planet but if the Kop sang that against Villa on Monday I would be ecstatic. These pricks deserve no less for their shambolic handling of this club.

Fair call that. Although I prefer Xabi as I want Gerrard to be on the edge of the box. Stevie's set piece distribution has improved though, no doubt.

He is under pressure because the tabloids have invested so much in his predicament and lack of an alternative target. For me I look forward to us winning our next few games and see where that takes us.

Love it. Good work Fred.

I love him. No doubt where his heart lies.

Too true.

Wouldn't say Xabi is back but we need him back. Middlesgrough away is a game we could play the same team vs wigan. They will come out at some stage and we will destroy them. Good game for Xabi to find form.
