    Don't tar us all with the same brush, I never wanted him out. Having said that the decline in his last season was far worse than yours this year, finished 7th and out of the groups of the CL before Christmas

    The OP disguising his own misery by trying to belittle another club <doh>

    And by the way HIAG, you quoted me as a Liverpool fan, how about actually thinking before jumping to conclusions? Jesus some people on this site are stupid.

    I can see Klu Klux Ken being shown the door at Klanfield, FA cup win or not. They only won the Carling Cup through being given a huge helping hand by the Ref against City when he gave them a penalty for an unintentional hand ball. That said the Mousers will probably get lucky again and win the FA Cup.

    Cant see their owners (who have bought them to make a profit) shelling out more millions to over haul their dire squad twice in 2 seasons. I predict many more frustrating years ahead for the Mousers.

    LAL.

    You personally may not have wanted him out, but that doesn't mean Liverpool fans didn't - I guess I should've used the word "lot" in that sentence for clarification...

    There's been plenty of revolt against successful managers this season - Wenger certainly faced one a few months ago, just as there's always been an undercurrent of one against Mancini (he's their most successful manager for twenty years too) On the other hand, when Keegan returned to Newcastle the fans gave him a free pass even though he was piloting their club downwards, because he was more successful than the majority of their managers.

    well it was still a few glory supporter types who wanted Rafa out, the vast majority wanted him to stay for another season after the success he had brought, but as always the loudest make themselves heard the most. As for Wenger, well that's Arsenal fans for you, hardly an example for the rest of us to follow, they go from wanting him out to wanting him back in in the space of a few games even though it makes no difference, They will still win nothing next year too although "it's the taking part that counts...!" and as for Mancini those calls are ludicrous, I think what he's done is fantastic, I hate city but getting all those huge egos into line and launching such a convincing charge for the title is no easy task, even if it might seem so.

    i resent that comment regarding arsenal tbh. Most of us wanted wenger to stay irrespective of where we finish. As for not winning no trophy next year that may well prove true but i'm satisfied with what we've achieved and really don't care about winning trophy though i'm in a minority. Wenger's done a fantastic job for us though he does have his shortcomings but i feel he deserves our loyalty. Every cub has short sighted fools but that does'nt mean you judge them on that basis.

    Your board is full of those short sighted fools in that case. Almost all went from "wenger out" moan moan moan to a wenger love fest when you won a few games

    hey i wasn't on this board at that time so i'll have to take your word for it though after dalglish's miserable league campaign i'm pretty certain i could see most of you wanting him out. There are however supporters outside this forum.

    You'd be surprised at how much sentiment on Not606 reflects wider opinion and so is a pretty reliable cross-section of the fan base on which to base assumptions. As for Dalglish, no one wants him out, bar a minority. That's not to say we're impressed with him, just that he deserves time to rectify the issues. As for the inevitable "well you didn't give Roy time" statement. Well that was different, not because of results but because of how he conducted himself, ie always blaming the players (like our youngster Pacheco for an ENTIRE defeat, so not on) and saying it was never his fault and his way was the best and he would never change, then it became the fan's fault, then the previous owners plus we played atrocious defensive footie under him. Least Kenny doesn't dump his own players in it and accepts errors were made in games that could have been done differently by both players and manager.

    Discontent did spread to the stands as well - the amount of fans who stayed away for their final home game last season also shows it isn't a new thing for their fans to turn on Wenger.

  11. Redknap wants out of our club. He's made that clear enough by his actions, as well as his silence. His behaviour (and that of the FA) has unsettled our squad.

    Why on earth would any true Spurs fan want Harry to stay, regardless of what he may or may not have done for our club in the past?

    Incidentally, you will find that most educated Spurs fans believe that Spurs would have performed exactly the same way under any half-decent manager, and will point to Ramos as the major culprit for our temporary and rapid decline, following the sacking of Jol. The idea that ONLY Redknap could have revived our fortunes is, quite frankly, idiotic.

    'Pool, on the other hand, is a club in transition. You simply are not ready to challenge for the title. No where near it, pal. You Mousers truly believed that "King" Kenny could come in and magically transform your very average squad of players into world-beaters, but you've all realised that he's actually far worse than Gentleman Roy. I said at the very start of this season, that if you could manage to hold onto 7th spot you'd have taken a massive step to consolidating your place in the EPL. At the moment, you are struggling to hold onto 8th spot. For a side that, at the very start of the season said that a top 4 finish was your aim, that must count as abject failure. You've never even looked competitive, at any point during this season.

    Redknapp's shown zero loyalty to the club or the fans and he's made it perfectly clear that he wants to take a different job, while screwing this one up since the England role became available.
    He's already going, but he's done a ton of damage to what he'd built at WHL in the meantime.
    Even if you ignore the mistakes that he's repeated from last season, I'm sure that you can understand why people have lost patience with him.

  13. "King" Kenny achieves yet another first for 'Pool, as Fulham win for the first time at Klanfield.

    Well done to the King <ok>

    They`ll probably fluke a win in the cup final over Abramovich FC....... not sure which is worse, a Mouser cup double or the vulgar Chavs buying the cup again.

    Glad I am playing cricket on Saturday so I wont be able to watch.

    The Chavs buying the FA Cup but failing to buy the Champions League would be a lot of fun...

  16. "Stewart Downing says an FA Cup final victory over Chelsea would make up for Liverpool's disappointing Premier League campaign."

    (Source: the BBC website)



    Yeah, and it might also paper over the fact that Queen Kenny has helped the Mousers to their worst ever league finish, just one of many "records" for legendary Kenny to put in his scrapbook of infamy.

    I hope Chelsea rip new ones for them, all over the park.

    Liverpool winning the FA Cup would make it a relatively successful season, in my opinion.
    2 trophies isn't something to be sniffed at, even in these days of CL obsession.

    It'd be a mixed year for them overall, but I think that they could take something from it, after what's a pretty poor league campaign, especially considering the money they spent in the summer.
    Dalglish would certainly have some questions to answer, though.

  19. Exactly!

    Which is why it is essential, in my mind, for the Chavs to humiliate them. I have no rational reason for wanting this, and can point only to my complete and utter bias in the matter.

    Oh, and I'd like Suarez to be shown a red card for making Nazi salutes and goose-stepping, in a show of petulance to the ref, the first time he awards a free-kick to the Chavs.

    I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
