Week 37 - Premier League / FA Cup Final / Europa Final / Play Offs

[Davicious X]

Do you lot remember where liverpool finished before Houllier took over?

 

Do you remember how bad liverpool did in his absence and even after his return?

 

It wasnt the same after his illness but Houllier did get us competitive. It's dumb to suggest otherwise.

 

Had he not gotten ill Rafa would never have got the job, think about that 

[O Fenomeno]

You remember the mess Rafa inherited

The first team(he actually won CL with Xabi/Luis Garcia/Josemi and the rest was made from Houllier's misfits)

Your academy was a mess before Rafa arrived

Houllier done very good work but Rafa took you lot to a new level

[Davicious X]

But why are you acting like I discounted that? I said Rafa weren't a bad manager but he did lose his way at liverpool, you cant tell me I'm chatting sh*t can you?

 

Yes we made 2 CL finals, but did he leave us in a position to be in the competition, or did he, on more than 1 occasion finish outside the top 4?

 

Liverpools slide under Houllier coincided with his degrading health.

[O Fenomeno]

I blame Hicks/Gillettt for that

Like I said Rafa got the wrong Americans

[Davicious X]

The problem with perception is hindsight cos didn't Rafa inherit a team that finished 2nd then he went and finished 5th with them the very next season?

 

I'm not trying to take away his accomplishments but the circumstances of many (Not all) of his successes are questionable.

 

Eg. Winning CL in first season with liverpool. Winning Super cup and World club cup with Inter.

[The Infamous]

He went a finished 5th with them AFTER winning the CL whats wrong with u?

 

So his success were questionable when he won the CL with man like Baros,Traore etc

 

 like i said whats wrong with u

 

/

 

Do you question our highest premiership total under Rafa then? Is that a questionable success

fuck houllier he was a shit manager some french sam allardyce 

[darkman]

Did Hicks and Gillet not give Rafa money to spend?

[The Infamous]

Nah didn't get money to spend he had to get revenue from player sales more time he didn't even get to spend that money either 

[Davicious X]

Why are people talking like Ive said something ludicrous about Rafa? 

 

If I thought something was questionable I would have mentioned it.

 

Remind yourself that we won 5 cups in mere months with some of the same players you are mentioning now.

[The Infamous]

seen. Baros,Traore and most of them weren't there during the 2001 trophy spree so ur chatting a bag of shit again. No facts 

 

Houllier can go fuck himself for selling Fowler and not using Litmanen properly

 

Any one trick poney manager. kick to heskey and let owen sprint he would never win all of that in 2013 yet Rafa won a trophy last nite

[darkman]

Nah didn't get money to spend he had to get revenue from player sales more time he didn't even get to spend that money either 

 

Still spent it poorly though

[The Infamous]

Agger 6 million

Reina 6million

Alonso 10million

Torres 21million

Mascherano 17million

 

Just to name a few

 

also signed academy players like 

Sterling

Suso

Wisdom

Shelvey

etc etc 

 

come on now thats the biggest myth about Rafa he signs good players if you give him money. half the time he had a non existent budget 

[O Fenomeno]

They way Rafa used to own Mourinho in Europe

[Davicious X]

Not just in Europe, the Liverpool Chelsea matches are stuff of lore these days

[Heero Yuy]

You man need to stop talking about that youth system like it's producing gems.

It's average

He may be in a boyband and look all pretty – but you clearly don’t mess with One Direction's Liam Payne.

Do you, Tottenham Hotspur?

The One Direction heart-throb, and West Brom fan, was involved in a nightclub bust-up with four Spurs players after he felt they were teasing a waitress a little too much.

The girl had been serving Aaron Lennon, Kyle Walker, Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore with jeroboams of vodka on a VIP table - where the minimum spend is £5,000 a night - at Mayfair's Funky Buddha club.

The boisterous group were laughing and joking with her but 19-year-old Liam, sitting nearby, felt she looked increasingly uncomfortable.

Eventually, the chivalrous, newly single singer couldn't take any more and marched over to their table, shouting: "What the **** is going on!?"

As Liam, an avid boxing fan, squared up to them, Aaron Lennon led a spirited defence and questioned why he had a problem with them. Friends tried to calm things down until Liam returned to his table.

The bizarre exchange happened at around 2am yesterday morning and just five days before Spurs' biggest game of the season.

A friend of Liam's says: "The footballers were with four other guys and two girls, and had vodka and various mixers on their table. Liam was with friends a few tables away.

"Out of nowhere were there was a commotion, Liam looked over and thought the players were giving the waitress a hard time. He went straight over to sort it out.

"You've got to admire him for wanting to help the lady."

The players told revellers they were out after manager Andre Villas-Boas gave them yesterday morning off training.

 

 

why does every story involving Spurs and nightclubs always have to involve these two? lol @ 1D though, I'd love to think Thud just laughed and ruffled his hair before carrying on with trying to draw the waitress.

[O Fenomeno]

Them guys are not ruffling anyone especially Lennon

Four foot nothing

[The Somalian]
