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.

Bad Keef!!

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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
