Parky

We'll win this. The whole Arse def is poop.

I can tell by his eyes he's finished. Nobody escapes the Parky deathmark.

Looking forward to the meltdown when they lose to ManU.

However, the Liverpool manager, who may switch Gerrard to a more offensive position against the Bulgarians with Lucas in the holding role, has issued a staunch defence of the team’s figurehead. “It’s simple, I judge Steven on merit,” said Rodgers. “The spotlight he is under is incredible. I think people expect him to be the player he was 10 years ago and that is simply not the case. “He has been adapted to a playmaking role, so the player who scored 15 goals a season is not there anymore but it is hugely unfair that he gets judged on that level. “He is the best player I have ever worked with in terms of football mentality and the loyalty he has shown this football club. I have shown in my time I do not deal on sentiment. I do not pick him on sentiment. “He is in at 8.30am every day to prepare for training. I judge him on that and the influence on other players. Of course he is coming to the latter part of his career but he is still invaluable to me. It’s an easy situation to manage because he is a top-class player who accepts what is best for Liverpool. He is a unique case at a time when modern football is very much about the player’s interests in that every decision he makes is in the interests of Liverpool. He can still contribute at a high level and it is my job to manage how that is.”

Absolutely ridiculous what has been spent on some very average players.

When I heard his, "We've lost 80% of our goals" comment the other day I knew he was in trouble. Seems too proud to shelve the positional intricacies for a solid base which is what you need right now. Players with simple tasks and not this people running about everywhere lark.

Obviously hope to be wrong about the latter two.

Seen the fat lady warming up her vocal cords.

Would you want to live in London or Liverpool?

In every city in England this kind of thing happens dozens of times in various configurations every weekend. We're only discussing it cause he plays football for a living.

She's got that big red designer bag tho. Danger.

Needs to be allowed to get on with his life. He's made a mistake and he's paid for it and will for the rest of his time in the public arena. That is punishment enough. The rest is all media film flam and the narrative will move on in a few months.

Balalbatross.

Abeid MOM for me. Wonder player...All over the park and confident on the ball.

It begins.

Yup and that new bald player running fast and creating havoc.

Second half tactics was Sammy's idea according to him.

Plying for a move. What better place than at Spurs.

I hate the 5th place now.

Really good call. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02892gw 9.20 Think the caller managed to get most of it in, got depressed just listening to it. The wasted decade it will be.

Football is pretty much banned at SJP so why not food?

Ahem...

This might be back on.

He got an 8 year deal in the hope England/a proper club might come knocking; nothing more, nothing less. It's been the same on everything since Enrique and Barton had the power in the contract winding's down. Shit scared of doing someone else doing what we do in the transfer market to us. The toxic mix at the time 'the brains trust' if you like was a posh Lawyer, a poison dwarf, and a businessman with zero knowledge of football. These were the guiding lights of a PL club...It's a sitcom basically.
