I think the Ch5 documentary promotional series has triggered a narcissistic/messianic complex in Rodgers and he is on a downward spiral that will see him caught naked shouting ourside Mike Riley's house one early Sunday morning or throwing rocks at the FA's windows screaming "It's because I'm from Ballymena isn't it ya b*st*rds!?"

"Another master stroke from Rogers I see."


Nice to see you coming round to my way of thinking about him Otta ;-)


Wait until he unleashes his master stroke Plan B tactics to get Liverpool out of the shit they're now in....oh no, hang on....Rogers with a Plan B....sorry....as you were Liverpool.

I've not made up my mind, I do like things about what he is doing, but I think his hand has been forced with the youth policy because he didn't get funds for more players. I do cringe at times about the things he says, butwhen Hodgson was "too respectful" to opposition, or honest about downfalls, he got slaughtered by the fans. They like a bullish strong manager.

Especially given that in the early days they had actual bum licking on late at night!

I meant that Rodgers will probably continue to react and over-act thanks to the presence of the cameras and, like all narcissists, would think the show portrays him as a genius/savant rather than David Brent mkII.


When I previously described the show as an 'Anfield arse licking' I meant that the makers obviously intended it to show Liverpool in a positive light - but everything from Rodgers' ludicrously pompous and confused pronouncements to Clive Owen's ridiculously orgasmic narration only serve to make the club a bit of a laughing stock - imho.


Not so much car-crash telly as motorway pile-up.

I "look forward" to having a look tonight...


I didn't think there would be that much Rogers in it, as I was under the impression most opf the filming was done during King Kenny's ill fated reign towards the end of last season, and the cameras went away after Rogers' first match. Is that not correct?

The Ch5 website has it as "Filming of the documentary began days after the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea at the end of the 2011/12 season."


Tonight's episode is billed as: "Brendan Rodgers begins to rebuild Liverpool Football Club."

and episode three as: "Liverpool FC are home at last."


So maybe it's only six programmes dealing with pre-season up to the first game.

i tagged along with a load of manc. mates to watch Citeh at Fulham. its refreshing to know that no matter who you support, your club will always have some pillocks harboured within the following. However their chant of Kolo

toure/ Yaya Toure to the tune of There's No Limits is a work of sublime genius.


I wish we had Silva and Yaya Toure though, both brilliant.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      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

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      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.
