Shame you can't swap seats with him. I'm sure we'd be better off.

He just keeps knocking 'em in doesn't he. Totally and utterly f***ing clueless and to think some people can't understand why he is slaughtered so much for his incessant ability to either talk sh*t or patronise us with his losers mentality..

'If you are bottom you are bottom. If you are third from bottom you're on the way up' - Roy Hodgson

You missed out the crowning glory of his glittering 35 year career reaching the UEFA Cup Final Still, from where we are now getting us to mid-table will be a miracle.....

That's because most English journos no f*** all about football. Simples.

No chance. Standards Corrupted. Mid-table at best with the current joker in charge.

We need to be out of the feckin relegation zone within the next month (still can't believe I'm typing that) or things will start getting ugly at the match. I can't see any other catalyst for him getting tinned. I just hope they dont leave it too late or we could be in a relegation dog-fight that we're not armed for.

Pretty much sums up the difference between English and Spanish football, although Mr. Ballague is rather probe to English media style gossip. Guess thats because he's been institutionalised by Sky.

Take it you were lucky enough to miss out on the likes of Julian Dicks, Torben Piechnik and Paul Stewart then ? Konchesky and Poulsen are around that level. Absolute s****. Not worthy of the shirt.

This.

Now wouldnt be soon enough

I've only seen Affelay play, and looked decent. Is Turan as good as what everyone says he is ?

I get your point, but we still weren't adverse to big money signings such as Lawrenson, Barnes, Beardsley etc.

Let's pray it isn't. This season's debacle is f*** all to do with Benitez or his legacy, despite the media's attempt to hood-wink everyone that it is. If NESV really do believe what is stated in the article re: Hodgson we are heading for more trouble.....

Well, it wouldn't matter whether we sign Lionel Messi with Hodgson at the helm, so this is all moot to be honest. He's managed to reduce Torres to a mere spectator with virtually a quarter of the season gone, conspired to allow players like Konchesky and Poulsen through the door and hardly played Meireles in his best position. I'm afraid if he's in charge of the purse strings come January there's more trouble to come, no matter who we sign.

LMA ?

He'll do a Ronnie Rosenthal - guaranteed.

I've got a horrible feeling we're stuck with Hodgson for the rest if the season. We'll stutter out of the bottom three by In the next few weeks, reach mid-table by December and he'll be safe. Games up until end of Nov: Sunday, 31 October 2010 Bolton v Liverpool Sunday, 7 November 2010 Liverpool v Chelsea Wednesday, 10 November 2010 Wigan v Liverpool Saturday, 13 November 2010 Stoke v Liverpool Saturday, 20 November 2010 Liverpool v West Ham Sunday, 28 November 2010 Tottenham v Liverpool West Ham looks like the only 'banker' out of that lot. Can see us drawing a few of those, and last season we got 7 pts out of these games.

It's all neatly wrapped up in this thread

It makes perfect sense on balance. Which means there's no chance of the crazy carpet-muncher playing them together.

Because he really thinks his LMA award was the crowning glory of a glittering career and he is deluded enough to think he talks complete sense. Loves the sound of his own voice does our Roy. Is he constantly high or something because that is staggering even by his own high standards of bullsh*t.

I'd focus on trying to clean up this season's car-crash before even thinking about next season if I was him.

...with a decent manager

All depends what's going on, on the pitch though doesn't it. If the team are doing well, with our fanbase we could easily get 70k (like the Mancs). However, if the football is anything like this season when it's finished that we'd struggle to get 40k. I'd rather a new stadium, new beginning etc.

Skrtel was poor letting Benjani walk round him, and it was PFK who cleared off the line straight at Carra. Calamitous defending all round.
