Milburn

Five years ago... “The problem is that where we are now financially means that we can never really fulfill the expectations of the fans. They have memories of European football but the gap is ­getting bigger as the years go by. “It is becoming difficult to compete with the top clubs, but that is not to say we can’t compete at the level we are at, but we are always vulnerable to the bigger clubs as Andy Carroll’s move proved."

Let's just face it. In the Championship Colback is a type of player that will be one of Rafa's key players. He'll be one of the first names on the paper when he picks his team. I'm ok with that as long as he fucks off when we get promoted. He will probalby be OK in the Championship but he is most certainly not a top half Premier League material.

This can't be real? A young professional fooballer wihout tattoos all over his arms!?

"Want to attack this division"

Why Klopp? So far he is a one club hero only. Took Mainz up to the Bundesliga for the first time in their almost 100 year old history and got them into Europe the season after (via fair play, mind). Got Liverpool to the EL final this year with a squad that isn't his. He is a top class manager, simple as that. Yes, he is a top class manager and I love his charisma and passion. Still, he has so far collected trophies from one club in one country. Benitez, in comparison, has been managing in the three best leagues in the world and won trophies in all of them. Looking at his CV it is - so far - a different class compared to Klopp.

Allardyce has to be right up there. Don't think it was BMI he was referring to.

What's her reply?

Confirmation of him staying within this week is my guess. They are probably negotiating a new contract with him as well, just to put out a statement. 5 or 6 years?

So where is Terry Venables in the line?

No!

We finished 13 pts above Liverpool two years ago....

- I think we were affected by the weather. Our tactics and team selection were all set up for scattered clouds, 18 degrees and 90% humidity at kick-off. We weren't set up for the clear skies.

- West Ham have had two more days rest (post-match press conference on Saturday after being humiliated by West Ham at home)
