Parry "hits back"...

[rushscored4]

why the need to try and be a smart arse, i'm trying to have a sensible debate here and there's no need for the rolleyes, it's dickhead comments like that which wind people up and stop them wanting to have any type of intelligent conversation, if you used your brain a bit and thought outside the box you'd see that finishing 9 points behind the leaders one season and then finishing 20 odd points behind the following season is regression whether it was third place or not.

and it's a smart arse one designed to belittle people

Nice try, Morph, fella, but I'm not biting...

Anyway, my point is that third is third is ****ing third; the points are irrelevant.

All joking aside, things like Istanbul and Cardiff last year have to make you believe, or at least hope.

When Kuyt scored in Athens, i didnt THINK we'd score again. But i did think it was possible and that's due to seeing miracles happen before. Gerrard's goal against Olympiakos was one, the Istanbul thing was another and Stevie's 30 yarder in stoppage time at Cardiff too. 3 miracles in the space of just over a year.

I dont think we'll win the title next year, but i'm not (yet) saying we definitely wont. I'll be having a small flutter on a title win, a CL win and a few other things.

No Red who has witnessed some of the inexplicable achievements of the last few years could fail to have hope.

Personally, I'm too pissed off about everything that's going on at the mo to know what I think about next season

agreed. well pissed off - even thought about sacking the ST off for a cpl of days but i've calmed down a bit since then

Good for anyone that thinks we will win any given title next season. Because in saying that anyone with half a brain can tell whether they are saying that in appreciation of the fact we have a chance and they can see it happening on this given occasion, and NOT confuse that for them saying we are the favourites to do so.

Unfortunately some people can't tell the difference between the two, which does my ****ing head in because they then focus on saying what is not possible, they effectively revel in destroying part of what it is to support a team. The faith that even if we are not favourites we will win engenders a belief and determination that is productive of success, and it makes winning all the sweeter.

As for Parry, I hope he ****ing pulls his finger out.

Winning the league is a whole different kettle of fish to winning a cup.

We need to improve drastically over a period of a whole season. It's highly unlikely we'll make THAT much of a significant improvement... however i 'hope' we do, and i suspect all season i'll go into every game thinking/hoping we'll win. Is that OK? I don't think it's all as cut and dried as you made it seem.

Nah you know you'd soon regret that. If not, I'll keep it warm for however long you don't want it

Just really frustrating at the mo, it'll all come good soon hopefully.

I think it's being blown out of proportion, before athens little was wrong, now 3-4 days later, the world's going to end

Much ado about nothing IMO.

no mate i'm being serious, stop being a tit bite, bite, bite, bite

Didn't we finish a single point behind MU last year and they are now suddenly 20 odd pts better than us this year? Liverpool's failure to do well in the head to to heads doesn't help matters. Also sometimes a couple or even a single player can and does ( ie this year!) make all the difference. Rafa may sign one of these players this summer. RS4's post earlier said it best for me and maybe we all just can't want to see what affect if any the new money will have hence the anxity which seems rife on this site at the moment.

I see the handbags are out in full force today. It's gonna be a long summer and some of you are plainly not up to it. I suggest you find yourselves new clubs because patience is what is needed here. We have finished 5th, 3rd, and 3rd under Rafa. We have reached seven cup finals in 3 yrs winning 4 trophies. We have got rid of the worst players. We have got the finances sorted for a new stadium. We are building a strong team. If some of you want instant success then I suggest you support Chelsea. Have a little faith will you because for the last 115yrs we haven't done so badly have we. It's not even June yet and some of you already seem to be on prozac.

Blame Rafa.

Its that time of year when and absolute sea of ****e, ****e opinions, dodgy rumors and its just good enough merchants come out from there caves

[Red_Al_77]

What annoys me is people on here rarely believe transfer snippets in the press but are quite happy to believe judicious reporting of goings-on behind the scenes at Liverpool.

Rafa started the whole thing, yes?

[Red_Al_77]

Rafa allegedly made some comments that have been reported in the press. Have you heard them? Have you heard the full transcript?
