http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/sport...z.interview.cnn I wonder if Rafa would of said half of the things he did during this interview regarding the Yank owners?

DALLAS — Forbes.com recently came out with their list of NHL franchise values and economic outlooks, and the Stars come in as the #5 most valuable franchise overall, trailing just Toronto, New York, Detroit and Montreal. According to the report, the Stars are worth approximately $254 million. Despite this, Tom Hicks does not get any love from the writers at Forbes, who had this to say: It is a good thing Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks is a billionaire. Otherwise, he might not survive the mess he has made of the Dallas franchise. The team, which owns 50% of American Airlines Center, is saddled with $200 million in debt (the team's holding company, Southwest Sports, defaulted on $135 million of debt four years ago), a high payroll, and an under-performing team that can't make it past the first round of the playoffs. The natives have clearly gotten restless, illustrated by sagging ticket sales and waning interest in the Dallas market for the Stars. In the face of this Hicks has actually increased the team's marketing staff to boost ticket sales. What he really needs is a better product.

So yes, Mr. Hicks, you gave away $24 million for practically nothing when you signed Juan Gonzalez, but that's hardly the worst thing you've ever presided over as the head of the Texas Rangers. This list could probably have been longer before we even reached the Gonzalez signing. It's nice that you're angry with Gonzalez for being constantly hurt, but your anger is a bit misplaced. Let us suggest a target for your ire: yourself.

Gillett and Hicks, go now. Rafa, please stay.

What do you reckon?

Opposite of "knee-jerk" is to let it fester....

"Why sack him now". Simply because he aint good enough to win the title. That's my view, sorry if it upsets others. Am I gonna get banned now?

"Should Rafa go or stay".........My answer is, go.

Er, what do you reckon I meant?

What was that Jose?...."Gizz a job"

After almost five hours of talks to bury the hatchet with Rafa, George Gillet Jr emerged to tell the Liverpool Former Players' Association at a dinner: " I have been married 40 years and have first-hand knowledge of how to settle an argument." In some marriages, Mr Gillett, that means slamming the door on the way to the pub.

So if what you suggest is true, then why is not Rafa seeing this whole picture and doing something about it? Does he have the capacity?

So what is the solution? Is it to be more patient and wait out until another 2 or 3 seasons perhaps?

Where is Rafa's responsibilty in all this? Denial is not just a river in Africa you know.....

Perhaps it's just the way I'm feeling tonight, however, I agree with the above point. There is no evidence to suggest we can win this division under Rafa's regime. Thank's for the memories Rafa. PS: Jose is out of a job at the mo.

A guide to English as spoken by footballers for Fabio Capello, who vows to learn the language in a month. On the field of play: "On me 'ead, Stevie G." (Please pass the ball to me so that I can head it towards goal, Mr Gerrard). On entering a restaurant: "Are we 'avin' a bevvy, JT?" (They tell me, Mr Terry, that the chianti is rather fine in this establishment). After adverse results: "We 'ad a Trever Sinclair. I'm gettin' bladdered." (The team had, colloquially, a nightmare and need refreshment). Good luck with lesson two, Mr Capello. It is even harder to understand and introduces sign language.

Voronin and Kuyt should have too much for lowly Reading. "Lowly reading"....What? A bit of respect. Rafa spooned it tonight, Wrong tactics. I'm angry, disappointed and frustrated with Rafa's tactics tonight. However, I still love him. Bring on the French and the Mancs the week after. We win together and we lose together. We don't want no cheat toffee tonight. Kopites party with Turkish delight. Sir Alex, Jose and the London press are all choking on sweet sucsess. Money not love in your drive. Tell us can you count to five?

Here, f***ing, here

And the 5th - What are you on? Oh, so the majority of people watching this pathetic excuse of a match are all wrong? Or are we just slightly concerned about our goal keeper? He is s****. Get a reality grip.

If Dudek get's subbed at half time, that's goodbye to his Liverpool career.

How crap is Dudek?
