I've had to turn down Arsenal tickets, couldn't afford it :(

Went to Bolton home game and should've met Uwe at a post match party but was struck with a virus so didn't make it

[ruffers]

Arsenal tickets sure ain't cheap, I'm a lucky boy. Hope they don't let me down.

Re Uwe he's a legend. Didn't realise until I saw him on Soccer AM his kids are called Colin and Tony after Bell and Book. I remember City being essentially boo-ed off one time at Elm Park but several on the away end, myself included, shouting to Uwe it didn't apply to him as he'd at least made the effort.

[Bluerevolution]

Indeed he is, Saturdays game should be on at The City Pride Farringdon but if you want a stream give me a shout and I'll get you one

[Annasfield]

Apparently Hodgson has been given the elbow

[ruffers]

So if so now what? Still a poor squad that needs investment, this time with a manager who's got two days to settle in before the transfer window opens. If true that's starting to look like Newcastle style of running a club and I'd like to think Liverpool are better than that.

[Annasfield]

8 of the players on the pitch tonight were involved in the 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid. A poor squad, but hardly a poor first 11.

Remember though. "Roy was brought in to steady the ship as his predecessor had lost the dressing room." "They'll want to play for someone else"

Something is horribly wrong at Anfield at the moment.

I think we can agree on that.

Sam's available!

The usual mate of a mate stuff, however this person has yet to be wrong.

Not while Liverpool fans have got breath in their bodies would they accept that odious pr**k.

Were my words prophetic or what? No excuses, we should have beaten Wigan and didn't. Almost negates the win against Chavski. Ah well, thats the lot of a football supporter.

What the heck is going on at Liverpool. Its easy to heap the blame on Woy, but what about the players? Surely they must take some of the blame!!

[ratty]

Did Woy not slag off the fans too? Suicide!

[Keef]

Exactly right! I think the fans should be bloody ashamed of themselves. What the hell do they think they're achieving by booing and taunting Woy throughout the match. Is this really "the Liverpool way" that we hear about? If it is, then the liverpool way fucking stinks!

[Emerson Crane]

Oh dear. Present day football does leave me cold sometimes. Success at all costs has ruined football, or used to make football, special for me. Many "fans" now seem to only want to be associated with successful clubs. How sad.

[Annasfield]

I think that Hodgson for England is a fair shout.

The "Liverpool way" is to fight for something you believe in. I don't believe that we should be 5 points off the relegation places. Remember, our last manager was sacked as 7th wasn't good enough. Hodgson appears to be aiming for a mid table finish and some people think thats okay?

Anna, it might not be ok, but whatever happened to sticking with your club through thick and thin? I'm not trying to wind you up, especially as you are one of the few decent people on here. But I don't get it. Martin Jol got the boot after taking Spurs to 5th, and they got in Ramos, and we all knew what happened there. Unfortunately those in charge of football clubs are very fickle, just look at Newcastle.

I guess you have more reason to feel pissed off as you follow your club home and away. Just stick with it, I'm sure it'll come right in the end.

[Annasfield]

It won't come right under Hodgson.

How the man can have the audacity to slate the squad he inherited when the only two players he personally signed are Konchesky and Poulsen is laughable.

I don't like not liking Roy. Keef's right, it's not the Livepool way but he still has to go. We always get behind our managers and yes he's not had it easy, it's just the shite that he spouts in his press conferences that really grates on me. His latest comments underline that.

[Emerson Crane]

Fair enough. Well accept my good wishes for 2011, as I may not be able to post after today for a few days. Keep the faith.

[????]

...and Cole Anna?

Hodgson favourite to go next 2/1 (worth a bet if you trusut your source)

Grant next, 3/1 if we lose to Wolves he's gone I reckon

Then Houllier, then Ancelloti

[Annasfield]

I heard that Cole had been lined up for a while. More to do with Purslow I think.

I was looking for odds on that last night quids.

[????]

Next manager odds

Here's the best ones from Oddschecker

[Narnia]

I must has Houllier has looked like a fish out of water anytime I've seen him interviewed. Something not quite 'well' about him.

[Mick Mac]

It's called being French declan .

[Emerson Crane]

Better than being Neil Lennon though, eh?
