Funny you should say that as Rafa has just rejected his new contract!

Not surprised with that as Rafa clearly has some problems with Rick Parry whom he sees as being too influential on football matters. Rafa wants to make the decisions on transfers and the academy - he wants it in 100% black and white. This may surprise some people but Rick Parry has been known to turn up at Liverpool training sessions the night before European away matches wearing a Liverpool tracksuit emblazened with RP. He also plays in goal for the Liverpool legends, and his son is a coach in the youth academy.


Having once spoken with Rick Parry, and knowing the lack of progress Liverpool have made off the field under his charge during last 10 years I can imagine Rafa is like a kettle ready to explode when he perceives Rick Parry hindering his future work.

I know, sorry, but hopefully I'll be wrong.


As for Liverpol v Everton at Anfield on Monday night, Liverpool have an abysmal record against Everton in these rare night time Anfield derbies, losing the last 3 times, stretching over 21 years.


I was at one of these, almost exaclt 10 years ago, Wednesday 14th Jan 1999.


Lost 0-1, and 3 players sent off (Jeffers & Westerweld in the same incident, and Gerrard very late on if memory serves). Bit naff, but good atmosphere!

What I should also have said is that those 3 defeats under the floodlights are Everton's only wins at Anfield in the last 21 years. The last being that 1999 fixture - which ended with a flat footed Steve Staunton in goal raising some cheers with a point blank reaction save from Campbell.


They're forecasting snow and windy game conditions for Monday night...

I can remember this one, but I can't remember getting beaten at Anfield in other night time matches.

I can remember one Monday night game in the 90s where Wright scored a header first, but later Bearsley scored the winner for them after the first shot got blocked, but I think that was at Woodison? In fact I am pretty sure it was.


Can't think of being beaten at Anfield in the evening at all? Can someone help me out??


The game where Crouch slid the opener and Cisse scored the third was in the evening..Goodison though.


The second replay after the 4-4 was a night game but Goodison again.

Just listening to Radio 5 and it all sounds a bit dodgy at Anfield. Apparently it was similar circumstances to these that led to Benitez leaving Valencia. They were also connecting the suprise (now Calderon has gone) Real Madrid presidential elections as maybe a tipping point for him finally taking his dream job there in the summer (presumably this will also be an excuse for Real to contiune the Ronaldo rumours). Interesting....

Something also interesting is that Ronaldo is learning Spanish... when asked at the World Player of the Year awards how his Spanish was so good after giving an interview in Spanish.


Speculation about Rafa is water off a ducks back to most Liverpool fans. We've got used to various stories about Rafa and Gerrard appearing prior to important parts of the season as a tool to destabilise the club. Sometimes it's self made sometimes it's from third parties. Prior to the Champions League semi final in 2005 between Chelsea and Liverpool, Alex Ferguson let is be known to the written press off the record, that Gerrard going to Chelsea was a done deal...... http://www.anfieldroad.com/news/archive/200505041209/gerrard-positive-about-liverpool-future.html/

I'm afraid stories about Ronaldo are water off a ducks back to most United fans. He has also trademarked CR9 in Spain. He will be gone in the summer, there's nothing new there. However, I think that losing your manager, which it looks possible that Liverpool might do, is more damaging to a team than losing one player. Sorry Matthew, I don't think there's any comparison.

Funny how when there's nothing else for the press to latch on to, the press always drag out something to do with the owners before a big game.


Heard it all before. If he goes, he goes. Nothing we can do about it. Would be gutted if he does but can't see it happening.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
