Maddock: O'Neill tops Kop hitlist

[badpiggy]

i think that part of this "i don't care how we win as long as we win" attitude is creating pressure that very few managers are capable of handling. i know it's old-fashioned but i do care how we win.

i want is to win with a style of football that gets me excited.

i want us to win but i don't want us surrounding referees and cheating.

i have no problem with our team having hard ruthless *******s who take no prisoners - like our winning teams had so many of - but who do their talking on the pitch with no poxy sulking and don't ****in whine off it.

i want us to win no. 19 and far more and i want to give a manager time to do it without the endless pressure of a perceived god-given right to winning it (the fact that i don't think rafa will do it doesn't matter) - in fact i'd prefer to let rafa gave a good go at it for a couple of more years rather than constant speculation about who's going to replace him.

i want to win it but i don't want people to have a ****in clue who owns or funds us because they never hear about then in the press UNLIKE NOW. and i DO care who owns us unrealistic as that is sounds - i don't want to owned by people who have endless questions surrounding them regarding dodgy businesses where they endlessly shaft ordinary joes are are suspected of human rights abuses. inevetably this means i will have to stop following any football...****in hell.

anyway - i want the players and manager to have a win at all (well, most) costs mentality but as a fan i don't need to have it. because it's not my job.

Too right he is

Rafa's going nowhere.

He will be gone come summer if we don't win the CL and Gillette and Hicks stay in charge

And in a separate article in The Mirror, "Benitez has spent a fortune and bought too many ordinary players - and his squad still only has three world class talents in Torres, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher."!!!

Pepe Reina, Javier Mascherano are 2 other world class talents that spring to mind, but hey why let that get in the way of a good story??

they are not world class

Rijkaard I think struggles in assembling a balanced side. This season he's often played without andy defensive midfielders altogether which has lead to poor shape therefore poor results. Naive manager but at least he'd be a breath of attacking fresh air.
