Anyone got a list of our opening fixtures the last 5 years in comparison to the Mancs and Chelsea?

Shearer won a Premier League title. But I get the point. Valid argument. I'd rather be a legend than have a lot of trophies. Especially at Liverpool obviously. Torres obviously feels differently- about a lot of things.

f***ing embarrassing comments by Roy. Hopefully the pressure gets too much and he quits. This is f***ing pathethic.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=831450&sec=england&cc=5739 NESV has no intention of losing Liverpool to Lim By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent ESPNsoccernet can disclose New England Sports Ventures (NESV) has a watertight contract to purchase Liverpool and has no intention of relinquishing that right despite a late attempt from Singapore businessman Peter Lim to launch a rival takeover bid.

So you are behind Roy "100%" because " Not since Shanks has there been a manager with so much to deal with off the park, in my opinion" What about Rafa then? From late 2007 he was having to fight against the owners constantly.

I'd say what Benzo suggests is the safest bet.

Pellegrini would have been a brilliant appointment. How we picked Roy after interviewing both is a mystery. I just have to assume his "Englishness" came into it.

Sorry didn't realise it had already been posted.

http://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/1210783-daniel-agger-refuses-to-adapt-to-new-liverpool-fc-style.html Daniel Agger has admitted that he is frustrated by Roy Hodgson’s style of play at Liverpool. The attack-minded defender will be eager to forget his brief cameo at Old Trafford yesterday after failing to prevent the cross that led to Dimitar Berbatov’s winning goal just two minutes after he had replaced Paul Konchesky at left-back. Agger, who was also left out of the starting line-up against Birmingham City last weekend, has lifted the lid on his frustrations behind Hodgson’s approach to games and has refused to alter his natural game despite fears that it could see him overlooked for a regular place in the side. He said: "The manager's philosophy is that we play football in attack, but not at the back. That's not my style. “I'm not that type of player. I like to keep the ball on the ground, and that's what I'll keep doing. Time will show if he [Hodgson] doesn't want to play me because of that". "I'll try to change myself, but I will never be a player who offloads the ball at every opportunity." "I'll fight for my chance. I know what I stand for, and I think he [Hodgson] does too". Roy thinks we're f***ing Wimbledon.

Is that a joke? Rafa was brilliant for us the first few years and in 08/09 nearly won us the title. In the end a combination of continuous fighting against the owners and lack of investment in the team meant we struggled. Yes, we should have still finished higher than 7th last season, but he did great things for this club- and if he had been supported and backed and worked in an environment under good owners I think he would have won us the title and more during his time and still be here today. For those same reasons (the board, lack of investment, etc) I sympathise with Roy and want to give him some time and support- but he's not of the same quality or class as Rafa. There's a reason one got appointed as manager of the European Champions within days of us letting him go and one was managing at Fulham last season.

We interviewed, and should have appointed Pellegrini. What Purslow is doing selecting the manager f*** knows. Complete joke.

Sent.

Doesn't he actually run this forum though? What a f***ing embarrassment.

Whenever I feel I'm getting annoyed by it I just remember 99% of them know f*** all, have done f*** all (especially in relation to managing a club) and the manager they're criticising got snapped up by the European Champions within days of leaving us lol! I hope he gets more respect from the Italian press but at the end of the day the press in this country have long known very little about football. I'm including Hansen in that too who came up with complete bulls*** once Rafa had gone. Just jumped on the bandwagon.

The sale process is continuing. However, its timing and outcome remain uncertain. That doesn't sound like something is imminent. A couple more weeks atleast I'd say.

So Wayne......what happened?!

He's a stupid prick.

Yeah. Hilarious.

f***s sake I can't wait all night.

Thats one person and he isn't revealing his source. Probably being a t***.

Where's that from mate?!

Anyone on The Times able to let us know what Evans and Barrett said on the webcast?
