The funniest sight of the weekend was seeing those Man City fans leaving early. D'oh!


Moyes has also had considerably less resources mind you ;)

What got me with City fans leaving early is that the BBC figured they were the best reactions to use on the news, the woman who was quite proud of being on the bus home because she'd left at 2-1 (who leaves early last day of the season anyway?) and then got on the bus back after the final whistle particularly annoyed me.

Still season not over yet, come on the Boro! (and Bayern...)

I suspect an independent poll would show most folk would consider Moyes did a better job than Dalglish this past season.

Yep, Liverpool had dreadful season in the league, scraped winning a tin pot trophy on penalties against a team from a lower league and were comprehensively outclassed in the FA Cup final by an ageing Chelski side under the stewardship of a caretaker manager.

Nikica Jelavić: 9 goals from 13 league appearances, cost £5m
Andy Carroll: 4 goals from 35 league appearances, cost £35m
Luis Suárez: 11 goals from 31 league appearances, cost £22.8m

It seems the non-LFC fans on this forum have more of a problem with Dalglish than the actual LFC fans! :D

The league cup might be a tin pot trophy, but it's still a trophy and there's only a certain number of them up for grabs each season!

Dalglish gone?

But he guided Liverpool to a penalties win against a division 2 side & ALMOST finished ahead of big spending Everton! :shock:

If Kenny Dalglish gets the sack, does this mean Downing finally gets an assist?

He wishes!


Poor Rio, never going to play at the Euro's - THE best international football tournament. Personally I would have taken him over John Terry, but what Alex Ferguson wants Alex Ferguson gets! Oh, no, I mean Roy Hodgson, he's the one picking the squad....err, right...?

will be interesting to see the squad, but from the "old players who under-performed getting chances" comments that i read, i'm not expecting anything other than same-old, same-old :(
