[QUOTE=TheKop]An interesting read I just stumbled across where Paul Tomkins talks about a day at Melwood that he spent with Rafa early in the season. Interesting comments around transfers and players but sadly lacking some juicy details in a few areas due to the confidential nature of some of their discussions.

"Martin is a distinguished business leader of excellent judgment and with a great reputation. He is a genuine football supporter and will seek to oversee the sales process in the best interests of the Club and its supporters."

benitez looking like hes gone too

Most people are expecting Perennial strugglers Liverpool to bounce back next year, but tbh I'm starting to doubt it.

Read today Benitez was approached by Juventus with 4 mln pounds/season contract offer and 70 mln pounds for new players.

You've only just realised this have you?

thats some good news for you lot.

That last glimmer of hope of has just faded on the season...

Knee surgery rules Torres out for season

Summer directives:

1. An additional striker
2. New owners
3. A New Hope

Was wondering if anyone at the pool would consider losing to Chelsea just so Manure don't win the title.

 
yes please

Doesn't matter who wins, it'll be painful both ways...

Just wondering if we play Kuyt up front, bite the bullet with Reira and have him and Benny on the wings. Just don't think Ngog is going to be strong enough against Atletico. (This assumes Babel is still suspended for another match?)

Would rather...the 'Ski win the title, don't want manc scum to win their 19th and surpass.

I would prefer we win and get the 4 in a row, which I think is yet to be done. If we dont win this season we will still be favourites to surge past Perennial strugglers Liverpool in coming seasons in the league wins count

One game at a time fellas.
Any possibility of resting Gerrard tonight

Looking good so far.

Good win....how bout this quote from BBC website     " David Ngog: There's a new Monopoly board game set at Anfield and one of the Chance cards says: 'Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass to Ngog'. 

yeah well played but from a neutral perspective you're not that clinical eh should've buried West Ham by 5+ goals.They were terrible had nothing going forward and you guys had the man advantage in midfield yet you guys sat on your 2 goal lead and fluked the 3rd.Fair enough you have the game against Madrid but it really sums up why you're finishing outside the top 4 this season.

We'll take the points.....Man I love Dirk Kuyt! He is the ugliest football player in terms of looks and silkiness but he works so hard for the team. My player of the season i think

@giddyup Absolutely right. I only caught bits of the second half but from what I saw I thought we should have had a few more in the net. Pretty much typifies the season.

Happy with a win today. Looking forward to Europa League game, although the end of this season is also something to look forward to.

Get a good night sleep lads. There's business in the mornin'

Yea, got a good feeling about this one. [/Risky comment to write on a forum]

7th place in the EPL gives Europa League spot this season (Pompey wasn't allowed to play in European cups).

We need that away goal...

 
yes, yes you do

Just a few issues finishing at the mo... where's Torres

A few is turning into many.

Not the best effort. Maybe too much ash inhalation by the officials robbed them of their eye site at times too. Still in it though. No reason why we can't finish it at Anfield.

Why am I still surprised when we lose? I thought Rafa would have started Babel. O well we SHOULD smash them back at home. Aguero will be back though I believe

Ngog starting ahead of Babel drives me crazy. I'll take the result though. We're going to shank them at Anfield.

Stoked Fulham drew as well. Would far rather play them than Hamburg @ Hamburg in the final.

"They (scouting network) are finding players like N'Gog, players with quality who are not a high price" - Rafa Benitez, 2008.

 
are you? really?

N'Gog quality

didn't you guys bus to London and then do an epic train Journey just to get there? losing 1-0 isn't so bad then eh, mind you Fulham did the same(long distance by road/rail) and they drew with wolfsburg
not out of it yet, Yet.

Awful game. Would've been nice to get an away goal. But we've done it before. Atleti were awful too. And are typically worse on the road.

Mixed emotions?

That's the first game of football I've watched for what seems like ages and I'm feeling so numb at the moment, I don't know how to feel.
