You wish!

According to the man himself, 'expectations were too high'! Seems like he's happy to blame everyone but himself!

You know, I was hacked off when Ranieri left Chelsea, but I can see now it was the right decision, albeit not done in the right way. Do you not think that you are now in the same situation with rafa?

I'd like to see him have another year under new owners to see if he can get us back on track.
With all the political in fighting out of the way I'm sure next season wont be as bad as this as long as we can keep hold of our star players.
I see it as one bad season, we finished last season with the points total you're likely to win the title with this year.
As for the supposed candidates, I don't like O'Neill or his Football, I couldn't stand him jumping up and down in his tracksuit bottoms on the Anfield touchline.
Hodgson I like but I don't think he's in Rafas class.
Then there is "The Translator" obviously he's a fantastic manager but I'm not sure I could put up with the Jose roadshow and I'm not a great fan of the man. Besides, Mourinho would only come if we got very wealthy new owners.

Well good luck!. I understand that your new Chelsea loving chairman or whatever they are called these days hasn't even spoken with Rafa - and he's been there over a week now. I also think BB has a point about the effect of you not being in europe and I genuinely think Torres will leave, irrespective of whether rafa stays or not.

I just hope that the sainted one regains his form in time for the World Cup. I didn't even realise he was playing in the midweek game although he was a little more noticable yesterday!

Gerrard has being playing a lot better this last month but he has been awful for the majority of the season.
I think Torres will see how next season goes, I think he owes us that and he genuinely seems to love the club.
If you think he'll leave where do you think he'll go? I can't see him signing for another English club, Barca have apparently agreed to sign Villa and Real is an obvious no go.

I think Torres will go wherever he wants. If he was made available, they'd be forming a queue at the door.

How can you take Rafa Benitez seriously when not so long ago he "guaranteed" Liverpool would finish in the top 4?

[BaaBaa.]

Well he wasn't going to say we won't make it.

[Zidane]

I'm not sure about Benitez for another season.This one has been almost like watching the dark days of Gerard Houllier.....not that I'm complaining !
Dont think Hodgson would be a good appointment.He's got his little niche at Fulham where he's appreciated.Remember him at Blackburn a few years back ? Resigned before they were relegated.
Theres not many options about....Mourinho to Real Madrid ?.....I think O'Neill will stay put anyway..........maybe Gary Megson could do a good job for you or Paul Ince !

Big weekend of celebration for caller coming up.Chelsea to clinch the Premiership and yourself the IKTS !
I'm a United fan and I've got Chelsea to win 7-1.....but you never know !

COYS!

[BaaBaa.]

COYS!

Chok dee for tonight Jimmy, deserve 4th after your Chelsea and Arsenal results.

Plus I can't stand Citys fans already.

[caller]

I have City for the win in IKTS, which I haven't looked at this week as I'm doing so badly. Yet I predicted before the season started that Spurs would replace L'pool in the top 4!

What to do - and 25 minutes to do it in!

What to do - and 25 minutes to do it in!

The one rule that I play by is don't change your mind

[caller]

I know and I've screwed up a few times because of it. I've looked at the teams and left it as it is.

[Big Boy]

That'll teach you to listen to me

Whose a happy bunny this morning, well worth the 1.50am alarm call. Was worried when I saw crouch starting but Harry's the man. Come on Fulham!
