Did anyone else notice the look on Rafa's face in the .tv interview when the quizzer asked Rafa about his team selection for last Sunday? He got a huge grin on his face such as to say, look Maureen complained about them being half fit so I put out a half-strength squad. And look who won.

Look at my signature, Shanks didnt have a billionaire team in front of him but I agree we'd still be "nothing"...Im sure Rafa would be happy if we finish 2nd, another cup and a longer run in CL.

No But we werein the second division......
It's hard to understate the ordinariness of Liverpool's position in 1959. Languishing in the old second division, with a crumbling stadium, poor training facilities and a large unwieldy playing staff, the challenge facing Shankly was enormous. Liverpool's, and his, good fortune, was that in Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, and Reuben Bennett, the club had an experienced and resourceful backroom staff. The addition of Shankly was the catalyst they needed to grow and blossom into their natural roles at the club. Slowly at first, and then with a gathering pace, Shankly and his backroom team turned Liverpool around. The Anfield crowd sensed the change. Gates regularly topped 40,000 and promotion was quickly gained back to the first division. The supremacy of Everton in the city of Liverpool was the first target for Shankly now that he had got the club back into the top flight and in season 63-64, Everton handed over the league championship trophy to their neighbours as Liverpool clinched their 6th title. Battle was joined, and between them, Liverpool and Everton did as much the Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers to put Liverpool on the world map in those fab years of the mid 1960s.
Would have loved him to done a curly wig & false moustache doing an impersonation of a scouser saying " Calm Down, Calm Down!" ...Just to get the message across correctly!
Damn! Why no "Calm Down" Smiley!
Nope, don't need anger management, you just need to stop pissing me off!
