[bazza76]

you are jsut shaking hands cos he is another scando

you are jsut shaking hands cos he is another scando

I'd shake your willy if it means Rafa stays, mate.

I just think we will kick ass tomorrow.
Torres will tear them a new one.

[El Jefecito]

It doesn't sound good at all.

The whole saga is so classless. It's very un Liverpool like and it's an embarrassment to the club. All parties should be ashamed of themselves and as for Hick's rebutal, well it was far too harsh for my liking. There are ways to say things and the Texan in my opinion tried to be the big man when what the situation needed was some diplomacy.

In hindsight I wish Rafa had kept his grievances in house. If he had, none of this would've happened.

In my opinion Rafa will walk sooner rather than later. Do you know what, I wouldn't be surprised if he walks straight after the Newcastle game

Rafa was in the midst of an emotional fit, so I think he did OK in not sticking the boot in. Ratioanlity goes out of the window when you are as pissed as he obviously was. So at the least the damage was limited.

But Hicks coldly and deliberately not once, but twice sticks the boot in.

Rafa's an Iberian (like Mourinho) so he has an excuse, he's also done things for this club. So we can cut him some slack.

Hick's hasn't earnt that yet, he's done nothing for us except, maneourve himself into a face-off with the only manager who could win us the EPL in the next couple of years. And the terms of the face off? The exact same terms that caused Rafa to walk out of Valencia.

Hicks you are a very stupid cunt and if Rafa leaves I will hunt you down flay you.

i know mate.
I was thinking we wee going to kick their asses tomorow with Newcastle being in bad form of late and struggling to adapt to fat heads physical aproach to the game. Ahh well, fingers crossed the players have no been too badly effeted by the latest developments.

Rafa's not blameless, not by any stretch of the imagination, but his outburst pales into insignificance with regards to what that loud mouthed Texan cnut came out with in response.

The fans and players will no doubt be fully supportive of Rafa tomorrow and if Rafa walks anytime soon, Hicks will feel the wrath of Liverpool fans all over the world. One things for sure, he won't be welcome anywhere near Anfield. He'll be f**king lynched.

I've been critical of Rafa this season but I support him over the owners, especially after Hicks' ill advised comments.

I have this horrible feeling that he will walk after the Newcastle game. I really do.

I think there is a possibility that they will sell up before next season if Rafa walks. I wonder if DIC are still interested? Not a big possibility but it will make them take a long hard look at the current situation.

I wonder what will happen with the new stadium if that happens?

You are not alone thinking that

cheers for that AF, cheered me up a bit that clip.
I can't remember what the occasion was though, why the constant singing for Rafa? I emember the game but forgot about the singing.

I know how you feel. I was thinking the same thing. But I reconsidered.
I think Rafa will understans he owes it to the players to stay for a while atleast, how can he look the likes of Torres etc in the eye and just leave. His family is also very settled on Merseyside.
Was only a few days ago he was talking about doing a Fergie. I think it is possibe to patch things up, an if they do, there can be no repeat performances from either side.

With out being melodramatic I have to say that I've thought the same.

Well, it's up to G&H to change their mind. Rafa need to get the all clear for transfers in one, two, three days or else he is off, IMO.

You're spot on. It's one thing to say something and it to be thinly vieled like Rafa did but it's another for Hicks to come out and directly have a go at the manager.

Ill advised isn't the word for it. Down right disgusting is the word that I'd use.

He's done himself no favours and I wonder how the fans will react when he does show up in December.

Rafa's post match interview should be interesting tomorrow.

he wont be getting it within the next three days, you can be sure of that.
