How long does a club remain 'big' on the grounds of past glories?

After a great 80s it was hard me as an Evertonian to swallow the fall to mediocrity through the 90s (witness accusations of bitter blues etc).

I think Liverpool really are in danger of falling away, that's why it's crucial they get the right man in and perhaps that's why Hodgson didn't quite get the support from a fanbase who largely knew all along he wasn't the man for the job.

Couldn't agree more. Excellent post.

I think part of the problem the Liverpool fans had with Hodgson is that he was appointed by the previous hated regime and he wasn't Rafa. I think it's a matter of time before he goes now but they really do have to make the right appointment and give the manager full backing financially otherwise I can see Liverpool being a mid-table side for many years to come. Liverpool are a massive club and the standards set have to be kept very high otherwise it will be a case of how the mighty have fallen.
I think the new bloke's got some money and will invests but it's going to be a few seasons. Enough Liverpool fans seemed to be behind tRafa for me to believe them rather than the media version but only just, on paper, objectively it 'apperaed' he'd lost the team and his way.

Well put, I've been trying to phrase that for a couple of days. Players and fans have let the club down.

He was warmly welcomed at his first home game. Honestly, this is why you can't believe whats in the press. Were any of you at the game to make an honest judgement?


I can tell you that his first EVER competitive match was against Rabotnicki in Macedonia, where his name was sung. But hey? What the f*ck do I know?

Eh - Sean just asked you to reverse your thinking. Now you are suggesting a double reverse ?

Put in simple terms, I'm suggesting the opposite could also be true. Not sure I can find any way of explaining more simply. I didn't think it was that difficult to comprehend in the first place.

That would either be "fuck off Woy, bring back Wafa" or "fuck off Roy, bring back Rafa".


Either one has a speech impediment, or one does not.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
