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.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
