Rafa certainly wasn't perfect but he was LIVERPOOL, if you get what I mean .....

I was reading the redandwhitekop forum the other nite. And read of many comments of how they (in the UK) miss Rafa as well. One guy even said


Sorry but I do get all snotty-nosed when I watch this video



Hope they are treating Rafa well at Inter. Hope to see him back one day. I am still standing by our boys, always will .....

Thanks, mikesashimi, for editing the above for me Cheers.

I don't see the people as losing faith in the team. I see them as growing very disillusioned with the owners and lately, with Uncle Roy. The rubbish scoreline aside, what irked the fans more was Uncle Roy's recent press statements that indicated that he is not expecting the team to win anything this season and his extremely slow reaction to good friend, Uncle RedNose, calling his star striker a blatant cheat. Fans are going WTF . He's begining to look as if he's turning out to be a Yes-man,"whatever you say, Sir". Nonetheless, the quintessential perfect English gentleman. Mr. slow-but-steady. Rafa was an occasional maniac but he's got the fire and passion. He made us believe.

We were there in Anfield for the first match of the season against Arsenal. The spirit of sheer optimism was there. We were looking ahead to a slow but steady resurrection of Liverpool this season. The draw at the first match wasn't so painful to bear (although Pepe's OG was!). Fields of Anfield and YWNA resonanted loud and clear as in every other game. And I believe the majority of the people who were there are still very much behind the team. And they will be there home-game after home-game. Even the pensioners for whom 45 quid a smack is a lot to ask pay for. They will be there. As are those of us here in spirit .....

Actually, I was just saying to a fellow Red yesterday that Uncle Woy's demeanour on the bench is begining to remind me of a well-known local personality .... And it's dead scary ... He's begining to remind me of the former PM, Pak Lah !!!!! Really, half the time now I'm expecting Uncle Woy to catch 40 winks in the middle of a match !!!!

Sorry to go on retro mood again ... but ... I miss seeing Rafa's furtive glances at his watch and his maniacal scribblings !!!!!

Ah well, on to the next match boys ...

As for choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea ... SAF vs Yanks, I'll take the Yanks anytime ...

Damn ! That made me cry .....

Dear God .... Why do they have to pan the camera on to Roy's clueless face ??????!!!!!! Spare me the agony !!!

The Greek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaks my heart to see Kuyt and the Greek's faces at the fulltime whistl

After Rafa left, I told myself that we'll struggle through the new season but we'll come through the storm. Wasn't exactly enamoured by the thought of RH but heck, what choice do we have so let's stand by the old man. By my glass-half-empty expectation, I thought we would languish at the same position that Rafa has 'left' us. It couldn't get any worse, I reckoned ......

Boy, I NEVER anticipated this NIGHTMARE !!!!!!!!!!!

Can't do that .... You would be labelled as a 'bully' like Rafa ....

My sentiments exactly .... But there were some people out there who were determined to drag him down from hero to zero ....

Dear Mr Hicks" is making waves, big RED waves in cyberspace :

That's a classic. man !!!

We are not exactly playing inspiring footy so far ... Very worrisome ... I know, I know, we're just 12 minutes into the game but then ....

Which channel are you turned onto ??? Can't be 812. Must be an accelerated broadcast you're on.

Oh shit .....

I get very worried whenever the camera pans onto RH who looks more worried than me

Amen

When our defense sucks .....

Double shit !!
