La Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Massimo Moratti has decided to sack Rafael Benitez only two days after lifting the FIFA Club World Cup.




The paper ran with the headline of ?Benitez e' fuori!? which translates as "Benitez is out!" The Spaniard has struggled to produce results this season and the Nerazzurri lie 13 points off the top of the table, a situation made worse as top spot is occupied by fierce city rivals Milan.

Well you have to beat whoever gets put in front of you, and if we don't beat them somebody will have to in order to win it. Every team left in the CMPL should fear them. Having said that, Espanyol proved that if you have a go at them the defence is suspect, especially Abidal and Puyol. But the rest of the team have got the work ethic down to a tee, they press, defend, and attack as a group. There is no other team in world football that does that as well as they do. But we have 10 weeks to go and things MAY chnage. Who knows.
Not sure how much credence or importance to attach to this but according to the purveyors of truth, talksport, Rafa is holidaying in Liverpool. Is the end of Woys' brief reign? Poor fella, the job has effected him so badly he's joined Wengers school of Basil Fawlty imitators with his face washing routine.

Anna you must have more idea than us about the goings on behind the scenes at Liverpool, what do you reckon is going on with Rafa and Woy?

Seems to be but who wouldn't want a manager who got you to be the no1 ranked team in Europe


Have to say his transfers up until last year had many more positives than negatives, reina, Torres, alonso, mascherano, Garcia, sissoko, crouch, agger all quality in my eyes his real problem was he didnt have funds to go straight out and buy proven class was always trading up year on year eg Bellamy sold to fund Torres where as we should have held onto him. He tried to sell Alonso to fund Barry which never happened and it came back and bit his arse 12 months later.


I'll be the first to admit he's bought some stinkers eg babel but who hasn't? Veron for 28m springs to mind. his man management may need tweaking but I can't help thinking if he didn't have the two cowboys trying every underhand way of replacing him behind his back last year would have been a whole lot different.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
