Where's Sandperson gone ! lol

Good to see that dialogue between fan & Board is being actively encouraged at Anfield.

Angola 4-4 Mali

WTF! In the opening game......4-0 with 11 minutes left to play???

And Liverpool think they can do comebacks?

[Sandperson]

Sorry BR, I dozed off. The board is having one of it's Groundhog Day moments.

It's a great shame about the terrorist act at the African nations as that game typifies how flamboyant,colourful and bonkers it can be. There are some great players on show as well.

Consequence of postponements

[jimmy two times]

It's amazing how Paul Robinson has declined since the one great season he had at Spurs under Jol. Every time I see him he's making a cock up.

[david_carnell]

Or even since the 3 great seasons he had at Leeds.....

Shame, he was a bloody good 'keeper but he's never been the same since that freak goal when playing for England.

[jimmy two times]

He was already losing it before that England mishap whilst at Spurs.To be fair being a keeper is probably the most difficult position to play mentally. You don't get many opportunities to atone for errors, as opposed to outfield players who can make amends quite quickly as they see a lot more of the ball and the mistakes are not usually so critical.

Pompey losing in the Cup

Adebayor interviewed post ACN wearing Arsenal shirt!

Only at West Ham

OMG Sol Campbell to sign for Arsenal... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/8455133.stm

[jimmy two times]

He's nuts.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Given the last couple of posts jimmy, I can't decide if "He" is Adeboyor, Campbell or Wenger (even tho you meant Sol)

time will tell I suppose

[jimmy two times]

Actually there's probably a case for all 3 of them. Didn't I read recently Wenger wanted to scrap throw ins and have the ball played in by kicking it? I think he is against the kind of thing Stoke do with Rory Delap. Of course kicking it in would eradicate that.

[Sandperson]

Sorry to see Cov go out of the cup to such a sucker punch. They had most of the game last night.

We could have done without winning last night - no one told the team though! FFS FFS FFS!

Presumably similar to hockey and it ball cannot leave the ground and no run ups. Didn't they experiment with this a few years ago in non-league.

[Sandperson]

Hey Ratty, nothing against Pompey. You never know, it might give them a boost!

[ratty]

I doubt it - we fluked it against mid table championship side. With O'Hara not allowed to play and our africans in africa we are somewhat screwed. Noy much point in getting through anyway - Sunderland will destroy us!

[Mick Mac]

Where is robbie keane when you need him? Liverpool leaving it late.

[Mick Mac]

Surely even anna will agree now that rafa has had his time and has to go.

He has not been good for the club and liverpool deserve better.

[Sandperson]

It must be time for him to go.

[matthew123]

If it weren't for the Yanks being in charge Rafa would probably be gone after tonight's game but as they know jack shit about football they'll probably give him at least til end of season.

One title challenge in 6 seasons is not good enough for any European giant. Too many flaws in his make-up whether it be lack of passion/man-management (see the way Liverpool players celebrated going 1-0 up without even a handshake) or cautious tactics he has simply run out of excuses. Even the most blinded fan is now texting me demanding his head on a plate - adios Rafa bring back GH!! (that last bit is a joke)
