That's a pathetic comment. Do you like conforming to expectations?
You need to ask that question..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post. -

Probably already covered in this thread, but it was in todays Telegraph:
Hicks risks wrath of fans with 'Scousers' jibe
By Ryan Johnson
Last Updated: 1:02am GMT 30/12/2007
Liverpool owner Tom Hicks has done little to improve his image on Merseyside by saying that some of the English players in his mutli-national team are hard to understand because they are Scousers.
The remark is likely to upset the Liverpool fan base ahead of the club's Premier League fixture at Manchester City today as the only two first-team regulars who were born in Liverpool are the Anfield favourites Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher. It was not the only remark by Hicks that will not endear him to the supporters - he accused manager Rafael Benitez of "pouting" throughout a press conference and said he was disappointed that Anfield was lacking atmosphere and suggested that the players had an inferiority complex after the recent game against Manchester United which Liverpool lost 1-0.

American dream: Tom Hicks has reopened argument with manager
The comments, in an interview with American magazine Sports Illustrated, risk raising tension not only with the fans but between Benitez and Hicks and his co-owner George Gillett. Hicks, 61, revived the row over transfers, which saw Benitez, in his fourth season as manager and trying to secure Liverpool's first league title since 1990, publicly accuse the American duo of failing to understand the European transfer market.
"We wanted to see what we could do with the players we had already bought," said Hicks. "We just wanted to see if the team was going to gel. Then he [Benitez] went to a press conference and kind of pouted and answered in the same way 20 times: 'I'm focusing on my team'.
"The media made up everything from that point forward. They made up that we were going to fire him, that I told him to shut up, that there was a battle between Benitez and the Americans. It's really funny to watch."
Of the United game, Hicks said: "Our team played like they mentally didn't think they were good enough to win. They played tight."

In a second interview with the Associated Press, Hicks said that while he enjoyed dealing with players and staff of different nationalities at Liverpool, language barriers could crop up.
"He's Spanish. He doesn't speak English great," Hicks said of Benitez. "We have guys on our team that speak English that are hard to understand because they're Scousers. We have Spaniards, we have Argentines, we have Brazilians, we have Norwegians, we have Scots, we have Irish, we have English. So it's easy to have a communication issue. We had a small one with Rafa. It got blown totally out of proportion. We spent 2½ hours after the game. It's behind us, and nobody's looking back."
Hicks said he thought the Anfield crowd were a little subdued during the United game: "I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a little more exciting atmosphere-wise. But I think our team played like they mentally didn't think they were good enough to win, played tight."Comment

Thankfully Rafa won't be taking these comments too seriously. He will see right around the twisting by the press. But Hicks would be better off trying not to talk to much about matters on the pitch. Every word he says will be picked apart and judging by his comments to date, he is likely to say things which could be interpreted in several ways. He should especially stop talking about team performances on the pitch and what went wrong.
It is unfortunate for Rafa too, that he is such an indept manager, that the majority of pundits, will never understand him, the very same pundits, who are giving Hicks his football education while watching from the states.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

Is the Telegraph the reputable paper that Rashid was going on about? If so that story is pathetic, I'm a scouser and the bit about him not being able to understand scousers doesn't upset me, lets all be honest we can't understand Carra sometimes. They really are trying to make things worse.Comment

It's an outrageous piece of journalism by the Telegraph. How many times have the likes of Rafa, Xabi etc mentioned jokingly that they found the scouse accent hard to understand? And now Hicks says it, he's deemed to be insulting scousers. Ridiculous.Originally posted by sonsofthedesert View Post
Rashid, please have a word with your mates at the Telegraph. Maybe you should reconsider working with such amateurs?Comment
