Paisley

That's another £17m added to the debt then. Unless Hicks is paying for this with his own money as a token of how 'commited' he really is

Hicks really is a tool of the highest order isn't he?

Is this game on TV? Would love to cheer Luis on.

He would be my dream signing, and if DIC do take over then signing him would show everyone we are serious competitors again. I'm sick of the fact that we just assume that players like this will go to Man U or Chelsea these days, Man U already have Rooney and Tevez so we should go all out to show him he would play more and be idolised at Anfield - Benzema and Torres would be a dream strikeforce. Unfortunately I think it will stay a dream, and we'll scrape around for 'second-best' options like we have for the last 15 years.

Saw the best and worst of Gerrard tonight. Does he really think he would have a Champions league medal if it wasn't for Rafa?

24 little hours! This looks like it's been a great day for Liverpool FC

1. Mascherano 2. Gerrard 3. Torres

Rafa needs our support at the moment, so those that are beginning to doubt him please just give him time to prove himself, and those that continue to believe in him and sing his name at matches - thank you, you are the kind of supporters that make this club different from the rest, and why I am proud to be a liverpool supporter.

Well done Dirk - you deserve that for keeping going through a difficult period and keeping trying. Now just do it more bloody often!

Are we that stupid?

He's the reserves equivalent of Voronin, I groan every time I see his name in the team.

All bought or blossomed under Rafa. It's ridiculous to think of replacing one of the best young managers in the world. What Rafa really needs is the odds stacked more in his favour, which he might finally get if DIC take over. If not our new super manager is going to overtake big spending Man U and Chelsea by spending his £15m transfer budget on 5 or 6 world beaters is he? Right oh.

He's not free from blame and he's made mistakes, but he still managed to win the Champions League while not being on the same playing field financially with the other big teams. I just feel he deserves support when he's going through a rough patch and the chance to put things right. Novel idea I know.

f*** me a sane article in a sea of utter s**** - I'm sure it won't stop the 'Sack Rafa' brigade though...

To me the fans who are calling for Rafa's head now would have been calling for Wenger's head 18 months ago when Arsenal hadn't won the league for a couple of years and hadn't won the Champions league. We've ended up with a bunch of shocking strikers and Rafa must take his share of the blame for that, but a couple of top signings this summer and a fresh start, and we wouldn't be too far off. Comparing this to the Souness era is just plain ridiculous in my eyes.

How convenient.

I'm getting the same feeling about this as I did when we were first linked with Voronin ie "Why the f*** are we buying him?" Replacing sh*te with sh*te. Although obviously I've never seen him play etc...

That first compilation is excellent...staggering - we were meant to win that game weren't we?

I don't think Plessis or Insua would look too out of place in the first team for a carling cup game. I've enjoyed watching the reserves on LFC TV this season, looks like we have a few talented youngsters. Another good reason to give Rafa a lot more time.

That's what he reminds me of - slight frame and his real talent is when he's going forward.

Skrtel's doing well I think. Lucas looks like a youth team player playing for the first team. He's got talent but I'm not sure he's a central midfield player, seems more like a Luis Garcia type player to me.

There's a nice 'Contact Us' section on that site if you feel like venting your spleen. Worked for me anyway.

This is what pisses me off, there's nothing much in that article but the press are just going to stir it up anyway. And Hicks just f*** off.

God I dread to think...who could be worse? George W?
