Ffs he so gets us it hurts! Let em have it rafa!

I actually feel like i am a kid again watching Dr Who and when the scary monsters come out I would hide behind the sofa covering my eyes and ears until they go away Any article or press conf he does these days makes me want to revert back to those times! Can I come out yet?

I've given up arguing - some (intelligent) people agree with me the morons keep banging on about what a great manager he is and Rafa spent the GDP of a small nation and could only get us to 7th last year - oh those halcyon days!

Not seen this posted yesterday - its quite right by saying he needs to have some media training but asking SAF??? Also he carries on in the comments about his success with previous clubs but then thats the media bias for you! Why Roy Hodgson needs a crash course from Fergie in how to play the media game at a truly big club By Darren Lewis Published 07:58 27/10/10 Five months ago I wrote this: Why Roy Hodgson should stay well away from the Liverpool job. For those of you too busy to read it, it was a piece arguing the case for why the former Fulham manager should not have touched the Liverpool position with a barge pole. Hodgson is a good man, an excellent tactician and a very honest man. But with every day that passes the reputation that he reinvigorated at Craven Cottage is taking a huge kicking. You can understand why he did go to Anfield. At 62 (63 now) he found it far too difficult to resist the lure of one of the giants of English - world - football. But if he is to stay on Merseyside he will need a massive PR makeover. If he starts getting questions about the job being too big for him, he needs to politely swerve them. Not show how hurt he is and start justifying himself by trotting out his cv. It may sound strange this coming from a journalist, but he may even need a crash course in how to sound as though he is giving the fans what they want from the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson. Because you would never in a million years get Manchester United's finest admitting it would be hard to hold on to one of his strikers if a so-called bigger club came along. And yet that is exactly what Hodgson did last week when he conceded he would struggle to keep Fernando Torres in the face of interest from United. If you are resting players for a game ahead of one that is more important at the weekend, the fans don't want to hear you talking about how they have to put up with stiffs who are not quite good enough. Talk them up! Big up the players who are deputising for the likes of the big guns, just like Arsene Wenger did yesterday with Jay Emmanuel Thomas. To be perfectly honest, Hodgson cannot afford to be losing ANY games at the moment. Liverpool need momentum and that comes with a consistency of tactics and team selection. Weighing heavily in his favour is the fact that Liverpool have never sacked a manager mid-season in their 117-year history. If Hodgson is to continue that trend then he will have to review his way he deals with the media instead of biting on everything and showing he can be wound up. Because the patience he would have had at Fulham is running worryingly thin at Anfield. And while he could get away with playing down expectations in London the fans are most definitely not having it on Merseyside.

Theres a selection here tho obviously its a bit out of date as they are coming thick and fast!

I want him gone asap especially as there is talk in the press of Houghton and Grant being under pressure - dont the board know I have money on him f***ing off!

Lucas is another one saying we are having to play differently under RFH in his interview on the offal - something really must have happened before the Blackburn game for us to play like we should do as it clearly wasnt Roy's doing Linky to Offal

ie buying Poulsen, PFK and plonking them on long contracts

So, I wonder when Roy's latest pearls of wisdom are due to be published, yesterdays have been done to death bring on todays!

Dont even joke!

Even Hitler is in dispair!

Please I've being trying to forget that episode - it was a really really bad dream wasnt it?

Exactly, Ok it wasnt perfect but we actually looked as tho we were enjoying it out there. No idea who was pulling the strings but if we had played that way against Blackpool we would have stuffed em! Wondered why RH looked miserable at the end of the game he looked far more cheerful at the end of the Derby than yesterday - obv it wasnt his game plan?

Can I feel sad for who we are and what we have become? It's just so wrong

b****x Corals reduced it to 6/4 in the time to register my new card

Budge up I'll join you on the naughty step then!

Xavi Velero followed Rafa to Inter and if you see his wiki page he did much more than train Pepe he helped Nando too Now we have Mike Kelly a 68yr old who followed RH from Fulham and lo and behold Nando isnt as effective and Pepe is not his usual self either - oh and Inter arnt exactly shipping goals either

Here ya go -dont tell everyone tho!

Pepes comments are from here 29 Sept Reina said: “When you have so many changes and move in a new direction under a new boss, things don’t happen instantly. It can take between three and six months before you see improvements. Honestly, the quicker we adapt and improve as a team the better it will be for everyone. “That doesn’t just happen overnight. Each of us has to adjust to working in a new way. For me, I’m working in a slightly different way. It is an English style of goalkeeping coaching. With the passing of each day I get used to it and what the manager wants. It is the same for all of us. We need to be patient. Some people expect miracles. Football doesn’t usually work like that.” Read More http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/everton-fc/everton-fc-news/2010/09/29/pepe-reina-lfc-need-time-to-adapt-to-roy-hodgson-s-changes-100252-27361628/#ixzz12uniJj4Y

Corals 3/1

Must be his contract extension .....

Cheers for that, just emptied my Corals acct and placed a massive £3.93 bet on it

Anyway, back on track I've found some nice quotes.... After the 2-0 loss to Everton: “To get a result here would have been Utopia,” said the Liverpool manager. “But I can only analyse the performance. There is no point trying to analyse dreams.” In answer to a journalist from Norway questioning the supply to Torres: 'Are you from Denmark?' Hodgson asked (he considers the Danish press too negative). 'No, Norway,' replied the visitor. 'Ah, two countries I never want to work in again,' he said. Discussing how well Birmingham played against us: "It would have been a shame if we beat Birmingham today" After signing Merieles - "We don't know his best position" Talking about young prospect Jonjo Shelvey and obviously trying to inspire confidence: "He did well but the fact is he came on in extra-time and people were tiring. Questioner - 'Is Torres better off playing as a lone striker or with someone alongside him?' Hodgson : 'I don't know' Talking about the potential protest against the then owners, Hicks and Gillett before Sunderland: "When you've got a group of people protesting at the games, it doesn't help." August 24th - "Hopefully in the next 36 games we can take some points" Scary

Shall we club together and get him one of these
