I have sympathy for Pompeys plight but don't give a rats arse about Rangers.

Why?

Would depend how much money I had and could afford to lose.

Small change compared to the alleged ?2 billion Abramovich has spent at Chelsea.

SCSB. You have to make everything personal. Celtic stared bankruptcy in the face before and as such put a code of.conduct in place to ensure they did not have problems in the future. Rangers will do the same..

More to the point, why should ?

[SCSB79]

I don't make it personal - you just take everything I say to heart. I can't help it if you are insecure and can't take a bit of banter. Why is it Man U and Man C fans, and Spurs and Arsenal fans can mock each other and no one seems to get as offended as you??

Also, in response to your point on finances... Check the small print. You'll find Celtic are ?30m in the red. It might be in the red to their sugar daddy, but the loans are there. Would you say ?30m in the red is a good financial 'code of conduct'?

Parkdrive - no one is saying you should. I just wondered if you had a specific reason.

Love both these lads.

I was surprised how good Balotelli's English is. Much better than Capello who was here for years. Who is the other guy?

[Parkdrive]

Consider this. Liverpool brought back Dalglish in the expectation of turning things around, to boost that ambition they spent huge amounts of money, a luxury they did not extend to Hodgson. Given all of that, had Hodgson done the same, can you imagine the grief and abuse he would have got. God alone knows what the EDFers would have said if the Arsenal had spent as much and we had performed like Liverpool. Yet nobody seems to think Dalglish isn't up to the job, another poor result yesterday. So much for the return of the king, more like the emperors new clothes.

[Alan Medic]

Well I do wonder why you spend ?35M on a player you don't use very much. You would expect the finished article for that amount. Martin O'Neill would appear to be a much better manager. Wonder what he would have done at Liverpool.

Liverpool record under Roy Hodgson

10 wins out of 20 got him the sack. ?20m spent.

Liverpool record under Dalglish

10 wins out of 27. ?100m spent.

I rest my case.

I think the newish owners will stick with Kenny for the time being. It has been a pretty shit season so far, although FA Cup still a possibility), and I'm forced to admit that most of the new players haven't set the world on fire. I'll happily wait til the end of next season before making my judgement.

I agree, and said at the time, that Woy was very poorly treated, and deserved better from club and fans, but unfortunately for him, he was seen as Hicks and Gillett's man, so he was never going to get a fair run.

[Mick Mac]

SCSB. You misunderstand me. When I say you make everything personal, I mean you can't defend your own club without slagging off Celtic. Try to discuss your own clubs position in isolation, It's your problem, don't bring Celtic into it.

[Annasfield]

Do you lot realise that 80% of the posts on here are slating Liverpool.

It's a shame you don't put as much effort in to backing your own team as you do slating ours.

[Alan Medic]

If the posts are so wrong perhaps you could post some more to restore some balance?

[red devil]

I would be interested as to how you arrived at that 80% figure Anna.

Was it from posts during the last week, month, 3 months etc?

If it includes posts made around the Suarez incident, then that would skew any 'statistical analysis'.

Do you perceive Otta's last post as 'slating' Liverpool?

Rangers' future has been secured. But only at the expense of a deal with HMRC over stadium naming rights. Ibrox is to be renamed the Inland Revenue Arena, or IRA for short. But please note this is only Provisional.

I'm just questioning the dogs abuse Hodgson got when you consider the performance under Dalglish is poor and the the money he's spent far exceeds that spent by Hodgson. If that's slating, then guilty as charged.

As this is from a scouser I expected a 'Thanks for giving me something to whine about'. There's just no pleasing you lot with your Beatles and your Brookside ferries

[Alan Medic]

Anyone else think that Mancini was somewhat less than gracious with his recent remarks prior to United games? They would win against Spurs and that WBA was an easy game. I think it's very difficult to make assumptions like this in the EPL and his remarks were insulting to Spurs and Albion. Swansea I suppose was a very difficult game.

[Otta]

Saying they would beat Spurs was a mind game, trying to put pressure on United to go and do just that.

I don't think it's worth you losing any sleep over.

[Undisputedtruth]

Man City always seems to struggle whenever Kompany is out of the side.

Anyway, the Premiership is still in Man City hands if they can win all of their games.

Cor blimey, I didn't realise Man City had cry baby fans.
