Looks like your season ticket's going to be a little more expensive in future!

£20 million! He might even stop whingeing for a few minutes when he pays the cheque in!

 

[PaulB]

Well it won't, obviously. And he doesn't whinge. I know there's an agenda based on jealousy but it's best ignored. His idiosyncracies are what makes him so successful but become a target when he has his setbacks. Nevertheless, he has the fans' unequivocal backing and even though we're on the crest of a slump, the good times are on the way. Let's discuss it at the end of the season, eh?

You reckon? We lose on Sunday and I can see Benitez getting the sack...not forgeting as well they we may be out of the Champions league by Christmas.

Not a chance. We'll win on Sunday but even if we lost and then lose away at Lyon, there's no chance he'll be sacked. The fans want Laurel and Hardy out, not Rafa. Think about it without the hysteria from the lazy press surrounding the issue. The owners know nothing about football so who how would they go about bringing in a top-class, available manager who'd be willing to work under the financial restrictions these two clowns have imposed? Rafa's the safest manager in the league, I reckon and the poor man's been trying to do his best with one hand tied behind his back. Anyway, keep the faith and f*ck the begrudgers. Are you going on Sunday?

I bet you hated Jose Mourinho, though!

He was different, a breath of fresh air and successful!

No, I quite liked him. Hatred is such a foolish emotion as it harms the hater. It's like taking poison yourself and hoping the object of your emnity gets hurt by it!

So this isn't hate, then!

Anyone even dreaming of becoming a scab is totally beneath contempt. A scab is the lowest of the low and I believe a special place in hell is reserved for them.

 

[PaulB]

So this isn't hate, then!

No, disgust.

I wish, tried a few times to get tickets for games at Anfield and at grounds down here and couldn't get any. Remember when Watford were in the Premiership? Tried to get tickets then at Vicarage Road and couldn't.

Where do you live? I have two season tickets and so have access to all away tickets and we never go to London or south coast grounds. If you ever want tickets for these games, let me know and I'll sort you out. I can usually sort out spares for home games too if you're interested. I also may have two tickets for the league cup game V Arsenal next week. I mean I have the tickets but a lad I don't know has just asked for them off a Liverpool website. If he doesn't turn up and you want them, you can have them. They're only a tenner each!
