no sir boxsys bro
but a manchester united fan with cordial liking and mutual respect for liverpool . similar to us , they are a great club with great fans
no other things generate more excitement whenever man utd play liverpool , any season ,anywhere and anytime . i want liverpool to be up there challenging the top 4 spaces rather than hanging in mid table .
football is and never the same without liverpool fighting for the league title or UCL.
One would be stupid enough for not respecting Pool for its history and successes. No doubt about that.
To be frank, it is a bit sad looking at their condition now. Fighting hard to get onto the top half of the table. No doubt it is a weird season. But, I would say that they only have themselves to be blamed. I know Benitez won them the champions league but he is not a great manager. Tactical wise, at times it would pay but his man managing skills are poor.
He signed a lot of boo-hoos than excellent ones. Credits to him for signing Torres, Reina and Alonso. I do think that these 3 are quality. But it was also his fault that Alonso went to Real. There were constant rumors of him being replaced by Barry. FYI, as much as multi-purpose Barry is(much like our JOS), I don't really rate him. I do think that Milner is better. Let alone Alonso.
Not only that, he ranted about the owners and not enough transfer kitty given to him. Then again, he was the one whom have been making shitty signings in the first place. They never replace Alonso. And I pity Babel a bit, he was after all, one of the touted youngsters after Huntelaar at Ajax. I don't know what has happened to him. I do think he has the potential to be a world class beater, back then.
Then he came out with FACHTS about our very own manager. As egoistic as Mourinho is, he has never ranted about the old man. Neither did Wenger. As a matter of fact, they respect each other. Of course there were banters flying around but hey, that was all part of the game. But, most of Pool fans(if not all) take Benitez as a cult hero. They claimed that only Benitez has the guts to stand up to Sir Alex.
But I got to hand it to Benitez as well. After his rants, we are not getting much results going our way. But hey, that is all part of the game as well. You got decisions go and against you. Just live with it. And now, this season, at times, I think that Torres does have that disinterested look. You can claim that he is out of form but I just don't think he is the same man as he was before. A different case for our very own Wayne Rooney though. Out of SCORING form yet there is still that 'fire' in his eyes. He still looks passionate. His recent performance, at least, telling me that.
All in all, I do hope they'll keep Torres and get Suarez. This will make this league more interesting. But, it's funny on how some of them can be hypocrites though. Initially, some of them are calling Suarez a cheat and blablabla, and now, most of them are rejoicing on the prospect of Suarez joining them.
