and i thought the family not settle coming from his own mouth? 

just shut up and move on please.. you are hurting the fans

without tat monster we too can win championship, why worry

Championship?

You mean English league championship 
Win the Championship after relegated? 

Joking only.

Yes, no point look backwards, everything move on and forward, keep on complaining is bad of the team morale only.

Just say thankyou from both side, and thing moves on.

As you brought this up,

this is what Mascherano said,
"When they started to involve my family and to say things that didn't make sense, I obviously suffered," he said. "They'd promised me something for a whole year and they never fulfilled their promise. And that didn't have anything to do with my family or anything else. When you read or hear lies, you obviously get angry."

Firstly, do you know what did they promise and fail to deliver? Who are they?
Secondly, how did he hurt the fans? Particularly how did he hurt you?

No doubt Masch is highly committed to us when he was here, but somehow his way of forcing a transfer put a bitter taste in the mouth.
There's always 2 sides of coin. While its well known, that he already informed of his wish to leave, he still has a contract to honour. If everyone in contract acting as he is, what will becomes of the club that give him the contract. I'm not questioning his "family reason" but as everyone knows footballers can be a fickle bunch, read C Ronalda "im a modern slave comment" to force through a move.
That said, even if he did gave us another season, problem is the interest of the one who paid his transfer fee & wages have to be taken into account which id LIVERPOOL FC have to be met for transfer to materialised. Previously Inter & barca offer a derisory figure, so u lot expect the club to let him go just because of his personal problem. What if barca offer ZERO fee, should we let him go on humanitary ground? Its not the club fault for no other clubs come in with acceptable figure so why sit out to victimised the club that pay ur wages? its not like the club threaten others who dare put in a bid.
To put it into perspective, if u signed a contract with a company with good pay yet u wanna get out of the contract, the only way is to pay compensation, thats the way it is. Do u try to forced the company to rescind your contract by not turning up to work? No difference from what the club wants. The way to avoid this is to signed short term contract but players want security hence they signed long term, by signing it, Im sure their agents go thru everthing in the contract.
Everything has a risk, incld "Family matters", so why signed for foreign clubs when you dunno whether you can settled? by signing means u willing to take the risk or why not buy out your own contract. Players want everything things go their ways, thats the problem. In short they want good pay with escape clauses, which is sadly too unfair to a club.

meaning you dun believe tat we can still WIN the BPL championship although we fcukup on two early matches??

to the monster, no thank you as he was paid for his services, actually he should THANK the board in letting him go , wat the hex he badmouth his former employer when he is being paid 70,000 POUNDS/week........
if you are the boss and your former employee badmouth after he left your company, how would you feel and moreover u never owe him any wages?

I am a more realistic person.
Realistic expectation, or hope is get 4th place into CL, that's what I am predicting/expecting/hoping.

It is not about losing 1 matches and draw 1 matches or just because a 2 poor result that conclude we can win or can't win, it is the team play, personnel, that doesn't look like a ruthless and can win comfortably every match.
Unlike the top 3 teams, that almost every week, we know they can brush aside easily most teams and only occassionally slip up, Liv can't show this kind of character/form, or whatever term you named it.
It is unlike in 80's time, whenever Liv plays, we 90% confident, the team can win. Now even can struggle against mid to lower league table team and fail to create much and under pressure or have no control on midfield.

Yes, I am much agree, once players left, don't need to badmouth about previous issue. Things move on.

how serious is the 'broken promise' until masch took a paycut to join barca?

now that he has moved away, i dont see why he cant just say it.

players like stevie, torres, were wiling to stay in times on transition.

and one more thing, i dont remember getting anything from lfc website saying about masch and his family thing, which means, the so called 'lies' could have been from the media...

all in all i'm disappointed he left, but then again, if we play better without him, then i'm ok lol

Generally, Argies are temperamental and when they are upset, they cannot control themselves (remember Masch's national team boss Maradona's outburst?).

do u mean average premier league match or anfield ticket? last time was 33 quids, but i read this season the price increased.

chelsea among the easiest to get the ticket. u can buy 5 tickets online. emirates at that time was the most expensive, around 35-37 quids.

the championship league around 20+ quids.

but these prices was in 2007. i dont know now.

He didnt take a paycut as far as I m concerned because he didnt sign a new contract.In other words, he was still underpaid while he was with us.
