Football

Six degrees of separation:

Scientists predict that by the year 2030, wherever you are on the planet you'll never be more than 6 feet away from a former Chelsea manager.

Funniest thing you have posted in a long time.
Almost inclined to rep you

Um passion, belief, desire, tenacity?

Don't be a chiffchoffer

You stumbled into that final from the group stage and Garcia's 'goal' in the SF against Chelsea is one of the worst refereeing decisions in football history

Gerrard doing his sticky outy leg thing(which he has mastered) to con the ref for the peno in the final was a major plus too....

Chiffchoffer?

WTF?
You're just making them up now.

Anyway, Chlesea v City on Sunday should be a good'un...battle of the tactical charlatans!

Chiffchoffer?

Its a polite term for 'wanker' cos of the noise one's penis makes while having a soapy toss....chiff choff, chiff choff....

Wtf. Is that from Viz?

No, some pellet I went to school with

Of course that was a fluke, how on earth would you otherwise describe it?

two finals

and like your team played with style and grace to get them to the jammy win last season
the 5-5-0 formation won lots of plaudits didn't it !

It won them the cup dicki.

People should look beyond statistics and remember that, ultimately, the game is won by who puts the ball in the net most.

And sometimes, people should look beyond the romance and remember that their most recent victory was due to a bit of luck, and the other team collapsing.

Bit like Reading on Saturday?

or some tactical genius by benitez

when man utd win after going two down they say it was down to the diehard spirit instilled in the team by fergie and their never say die attitude that keeps them pressing right to the end of the game

liverpool on the other hand were lucky

Normally

We've had this conversation how many times now?

#boredofitall

Yeah, generally.

No. When Man Utnited win it is often because the ref awarded them a penalty/5 mins of injury time or sent off an opposing player

once again you started it

dicki, read back and you will find that it was mikec. mikec = internet troll [I]supérieur[/I]

Right.

Tin foil on special this week?

From a post off an Everton forum. Magic!!

*As I browsed through my twitter feed today (@DarrenMelling) I noticed that Adidas, boot supplier to Stoke Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard were inviting followers to ask him some questions. Naturally plenty of blues siezed the opportunity to #AskStevieG. Here are a selection of questions which made me laugh. These are all genuine!

Ji Sung Park asked: "Would you like photocopy of my Premiership winners medals?

"Ryan Giggs' wife divorced him and took half of everything he owned. How does it feel knowing she has 6 more Premier League medals than you?"

"How does it feel knowing that (insert random member of the public's name) has the same amount of Premier League winners medals as you?"

"Hi Steve. How do you feel knowing Dion Dublin and Lenny Pidgeley have won the Premier League more times than you have?"

"Steve, does JonJo Shelvey bring his wand to training?"

"If you could have a forehead, who's would you pick? Joleon Lescott's?"

"Steve, how did Suarez score that goal against Newcastle? Was it from a long ball?"

"How have you managed to carry a Liverpool team for ten years?"

"Is it true you put in a transfer request to force through a move to Stoke City?"

"Steve, will next year be your year?"

"Steve, are you going to wear a "Support Mark Clattenberg" t-shirt before your next game?"

"Steve, does JonJo Shelvey take up all the car park at Melwood when he arrives in his Space Ship?"

"Who would win a foot race - Jamie Carragher or the erosion of the UK Coastline?"

"Do you think if you spent more time chasing the ball instead of the ref you might have won the league by now?"

"Steve, remember when you were better than Frank Lampard? No, me neither..."

"Having once played alongside Alonso, Torres and Mascherano, how does it feel to now be playing alongside Shelvey, Borini and Downing?"

"How proud of your fantastic home record this season are you? #Fortress"

"Which defeat has been hardest to take? Its ok, you can email me, 140 characters is a bit limted..."

"How did it feel to see Liverpool fans set fire to your shirt before your proposed move to Chelsea?"

"Do you have a special skin comb you use to maintain the stupid creases above your eyes or is that natural?"

"Is the baby yours?"

"On a scale of JonJo Shelvey to Jordan Henderson, how bad is Stewart Downing?"

"Is the corner Liverpool are supposedly turning a big roundabout?"

"Do you still believe Joe Cole is better than Lionel Messi?"

"Before filming Being Liverpool, did Brendan Rodgers watch David Brent in The Office on repeat?"

"At least at Liverpool you can now concentrate on the Champions Leag.... The Premier Leag....your family"

"Is it awkward around your house on Pancake Day?"

"Not a question, just a fact. You've misplaced more passes in the opposition half than any other player in the League. All fart and no sh*t"

"Is playing for Liverpool about as much fun as sh*tting yourself in a sleeping bag?"

"On a scale of 1 to tit, how much of a tit did you feel when you realised you had ran and slid 80 yards for f*ck all?"

"Which of the Everton kits you got for Christmas was your favourite?"

"Since you bottled your move to Chelsea, they've won the Champions League, 2 Premier League titles and 4 FA Cups. You must be delighted with that choice?"

"What is it like knowing Luke Chadwick has more Premier League medals than you?"

"Are you hoping Tranmere Rovers maintain their good form and get promoted so you still get a derby next season?"

"What's it like to referee a Derby?"

"Do you ever want to break into Brendan's office and peek inside them three envelopes?"

"When your kids grow up do they want their dad's name on the back of their shirt? I wonder if Everton still have the "Yobo" template in the shop."

"Can you grate cheese with your frown?"

Really cheered me up today reading all of these. If you have your own question you would ask Stevie G, comment below!

So, just over two years ago, Benitez was being booed by Liverpool supporters for every decision he made or did not make, while Chelsea supporters were singing "We want you to stay, we want you to stay, Rafa Benitez, we want you to stay." He was sacked for his incompetence as Liverpool slumped still further into mediocrity.

Since then he has managed Inter, from whom he was sacked after six months. For the last two years he has been unemployed.

And we are meant to be happy about this?

he lost the crowd because of his man management skills not his tactical genius, his sale of alonso burnt bridges with the fans, he messed up in his last year but the whole club was falling apart at that time he was selling players to fund hicks and gilette's us mall empire that was collapsing i'm sure it wasn't an easy time for rafa
the wrath of the fans was aimed at him and hicks/gilette equally, him for on pitch cockups them for off pitch cockups

#notallhisfault#

zenden as his number 2

All (with one or two exceptions) managers have a shelf life, beyond which the club goes into a state of entropy.

Benitez had reached that point at Liverpool.

Is that what you heard on the kop?

I don't think your first statement is a fair one.
From what I understand, the majority of the Liverpool supporters were behind Benitez as they realised what was happening to our club at the boardroom level and were grateful for him to standing up the the incompetent owners. Also the fact he won the European Cup on that incredible evening makes him forever a legend and I think you will be hard pushed to find any fans who have to bad a word to say about him.
Yes before the end he had lost the plot, following the rant against Taggart. it was clear the pressure was getting to him. He also had poor man management skills, demonstrated by his handling of Alonso. Conversely he was able to get the best out of Torres so he must have done something right.
With Benitez at the helm, I had 100% confidence going into all our European games. Even away at Barca, you knew we would come away with a result. We demolished Real 4-0 and made them look like fools such was our European superiority at the time.

It makes me a little sick he has gone to such a trashy club to be honest
