Joey Barton on News Night anyone?


He spoke well on the appointment of Roy Hodgson


Oh and good luck to Roy. Hopefully he can get shot of JT in the process of a shake up. Never has a player been more toxic to a team than that c-nut


I personally never wanted Harry R either, to bent and tainted by his past 'arrangements'




Netts

Great win for Martin Jol's Fulham and marking their first ever win at Anfield. Bring back Rafa? Anyone?


Good result for Fulham, but it makes no difference for Liverpool, and their eyes are definitely set on Saturday.


Interesting point about Rafa though. Should Kenny not have a better season next time, I think the owners will run out of patience, and I suspect Rafa is the one man on the planet that the match going fans would accept in the place of their King.


Personally, I think Dalglish has at least made the team more interesting to watch. Rafa did get results, but his cautious tactics made for boring games at times. I want to see Kenny turn things round and do well next season. If that doesn't happen and he is sacked, I personally would rather not see Rafa back, but I know my opinion would not be popular with a lot (probably a majority) of fans.

Because of his status with the fans, Dalglish was always going to be given more time than Hodgson, regardless of whether his record is better or worse. What comes across in Otta's earlier post is how much sway the fans have, or would like to think they have, in who gets to manage their club. If Dalglish does go, FSG need to appoint their own man, not who is most popular with the fans.

Although I don't agree with the FA's decision to appoint Hodgson, at least they have gone for their own man. I'm afraid Hodgson's on a hiding to nothing with the press because they wanted Harry, whereas most fans will still get behind Hodgson and the team. The Sun's headline is a taste of what's to come if England don't perform, I bet they already have their 'turnip' jokes lined up for the Euro's...

If Dalglish does go, FSG need to appoint their own man, not who is most popular with the fans.



I agree.


I think the thing is that Hicks & Gillet were so toxic for the club. Rafa had won the champs league (with Houllier's squad, but there you go), so was an instant hero. He was quite openly critical of the very unpopular owners lack of financial backing (in his opinion), so the fans loved him even more. When he went, H&G probably should have put Kenny in charge, because he would have taken it on (as he genuinely loves the club), and he is the only man the fans would have accepted after Rafa.


Instead, they brought in poor Roy, off the back of an impressive season with Fulham, but he was just seen as the owner's pet, and the fans were never going to take to him. Unfortunately, things like Joe Cole's transfer didn't work out, and results on the pitch didn't go to plan. Fans felt that he was too apologetic, and didn't slag off their big rivals enough, and wasn't a "Liverpool Manager". You could argue that he was realistic in what he said, and that the fans don't want to hear realistic.


I think the new owners realised that the fans viewed Roy as not good enough for them, and so they got rid of him as a way to instantly get the fans on side. They installed a club legend, and they have been generous with cash for players. How long that will last though, will depend on whether there can be a big improvement. Lets not forget, they could end the season with 2 cups, but, if they do, it will just be painting over the lack of quality depth in the squad over the season.


Apparently though, these owners do have a ruthless streak, so I suspect if their patience runs out, they won't let sentimentality get in their way...




RE: The Sun, no big surprise, there are enough idiots in the country who buy that rag, so they'll keep on printing the same shite.

RH's appointment might bring up some interesting dynamics with some of those who may not have seen eye to eye with him during his tenure at Liverpool.

No great losses in my book.


If he's any balls it's goodbye JT too. Truly my heart weeps..ooh a shiny penny.


I'm feeling more positive about this manager than any I have for a good long while.

In fact it's been a horrible time since, well, since Venables left. Admittedly I was optimistic when Keegan took over, a misplaced optimism that pretty much lasted until he announced his first squad. Oh, tired old dinosaurs and regressive tactics then, did we learn nothing from Hoddles reign?! And things only got worse.


That we're ranked so highly under Capello is laughable and a facet of the weird FIFA weighting of our trouble free qualifications against the likes of Lilliput, Legoland and Hobbitonania. Woo!!!


As I've said before he's got a good track record of getting small teams to punch above their weight. If he can get the mentality in to the team (and selection is crucial here) that we are no longer natural heirs to the biggest stage and have to damn well work for it then we could go all the way, or at least maybe further than a meek exit after the group stage.



But not in this tournament.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
