Brendan or Brent? I got 9 out of 10. http://www.theguardian.com/football/quiz/2013/apr/02/brendan-rodgers-david-brent-quotes-quiz?CMP=twt_gu
I got 6 out of 10. That means that I can tell whether it's Brent or Brendan only 60% of the time. Or, to put it another way, Rodgers has a 40% chance of making a career for himself as a top comedian!
If they made a 'Pool version of the Office - let's call it Klanfield - who do you think would play the "Tim" and "Gareth" characters?
Good link. I do like Brendan's philosophy about water and hope. You can live a few days without water but not at all without hope. So let's sling him in a dungeon and see whether it's water or hope he asks for first!
8/10 for Brenda v Brent 8/10 for Jose v Charlie Sheen - the link is in same page so have a go as its funny I have to admit my scores are very lucky guesses as the quotes could have been either of them.
Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy says Brendan Rodgers's side will fall short of Champions League qualification again this season. (Mail) He's saying it like any of us are ****ing surprised! Yes, Craig! We know 'Pool aren't gong to be any where near the top four, mate! Another one they used to call "Lightening" at school.
Many Dippers will tell you that Benitez's "fakht" rant was a clever and calculated way to get at Sir Alex. Gerrard disagrees. An extract from his autobiography... One time he did suffer a meltdown involving Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson. I went home from training that Friday lunchtime and switched on the TV. Rafa sat down with his usual half-smile. It looked likely to be a normal press conference, but then he reached into his pocket for a piece of paper. He spread it out on the table and began to read out one 'fact' after another. Rafa kept saying 'fact... fact... fact...' and I could not believe what I was hearing. I was grabbing the couch, digging my fingers into the arms, feeling embarrassed for him. Rafa started by saying that maybe Manchester United 'are nervous because we are at the top of the table'. I thought: 'Uh oh, what's happening here?' It seemed so unlike Rafa to talk in such an emotional way. You could see the anger in him. 'I want to talk about facts,' Rafa said. 'I want to be clear, I do not want to play mind games too early, although they seem to want to start. But I have seen some facts.' Rafa went off on a ramble about how Manchester United and 'Mr Ferguson' had not been properly punished for various misdemeanours. He listed dates and incidents and concluded that 'Mr Ferguson is the only manager in the league that cannot be punished for these things'. He then railed against the fixture list and the timing of matches being skewed in United's favour. Rafa was sounding muddled and bitter and paranoid. He was humiliating himself. It was a disaster. I couldn't understand Rafa's thinking in wanting to take on Ferguson, a master of mind games, when we were sitting so calmly on top of the table early into a new year. When I met up with England all the Manchester United players told me Fergie was just laughing at Rafa, saying: 'I've got him. I've got him.'
Looks like Gerrard's upset because Benitez didn't continually kiss his arse, like his preferred managers. Can't say that I'm surprised. The whole FACT thing was utterly ridiculous and the press delighted in sticking the boot in, but it's quite sad to see someone stitching up their own side.
Steven Gerrard says his relationship with former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was "distant and emotionless." What the hell was Slippy expecting from Benitez? Cocoa and cuddles!
