At least he won't be able to whine about having no money this time That said, I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to bankrupt the whole of Qatar if he's given enough time in the job..
Gross or net? Either way, SAF's total pro career spend covers 35 trophies (not including the mickey mouse one off games) so Benitez with seven trophies has a long way to go...
please log in to view this image Swarbs, now do you see what I meant on the 'Pool board? Looks horrible there
Yep, just posted that same pic on the banter thread. Still can't be 100% sure without seeing the replay, but if I was reffing and saw that I would have the red card out in a second. Even Dalglish admitted Spearing was risking being sent off with that challenge. He's off the ground with his eyes closed and isn't looking where his follow through is going so he can't be in control at the point he makes contact with Dembele.
Gotta say, it was a red for me. The ref had a ****e game which didn't help his cause with the scousers.
Swarbs. Banter aside, I think you know I'm pretty genuine. We have some decent debates. If you watch the incident in real time, Spearing takes the ball cleanly. There is an unintentional foul as his momentum carried him through. That photo looks like he's deliberately gone for the man, but the ball is nowhere is sight, because it's about 10 yards away. It was a yellow, but no way was it a red, just as I said when Rodwell was ludicrously sent off..
"undependable". New one on me custard. They weren't raised when the tackle was made. they became raised as a result of the tackle - acidentally. No intent, therefore yellow. Most of you lot know I don't wear those dodgy specs that make supporters see things differently.
By the way, why a thread about Rafa? He's not even our Manager anymore, and hasn't been for some time.
