| Quote: Roddy B "Roy was a t*sser, vastly inferior to his predecessor and remains the epitome of English football
His predecessor deserved to go, as even you acknowledged. He then went to Inter Milan and he sucked far worse than Hodgson did at Liverpool. And that's with your club never wanting Hodgson at all and virtually being against him from the start.
At least now you've got a better manager in, and you're showing how great you can be. Same with Dalgleish. Really shown Hodgson up, haven't they?
The fact that even a generally good Euro campaign was belittled by you shows how irrational you are.
AVB was a massive failure at Chelsea. He's started off dreadfully at Tottenham, but been rescued by the last two games. His interviews are dreadful and embarrassing. He might turn it around, but it's not a surprise that an ex-CFC failure who talks out of his ass and offers poor results has been disliked so far.

| Quote: Lord God Jose Mourinho "Think he should have done it after the verdict, or as soon as the charges were announced after he'd been cleared in court.
Glad he's retired from international games. Wish he'd done it earlier.
The FA are clearly contravening their own rules. By the FA's own rules if a case has been tried in a legal court the verdict should be accepted.
Still, the Terry haters will be pleased. They've got part of what they wanted.'"
I'm glad but gutted in ways. Glad because it will prolong his career, gutted because I won't get to see him on his ar$e every international break whilst AC3 picks the ball out of the net for him.

| Never a Terry hater. He's a bloody good defender, ateotd.
Thing is, he's had the opportunity at England level for over a decade, now, and we've not risen above QF level. Time to move on. Can the same be arranged for Gerrard, Ferdinand etc. You've had your time in an England shirt. We did nowt. Let's try something/someone else.
As a human being, Terry is not the kind of person I'd want to be related to, if you know what I mean.

| Tony Pullis moaning about tackling?
What next?
Mancini moaning about other teams spending too much money?
Ferguson moaning about other teams getting the benefit of refereeing decisions?
Moyes saying another team are too negative?
Wenger moaning about another team selling all their best players?

Pretty much spot on....Good footballer, been a fine servant to Chelsea, but him and his family are scum, which has meant he will always be viewed with derision by most non-Chelsea fans.

The time for Rafa to leave was right, the replacement wasn't. A generally good Euro campaign? A tad embarrassing on your part. Got through the groups, knocked straight out. No greater than what Capello achieved and that was with the pressure off and expectations at an all time low.
As for AVB, I don't follow Spurs so I asked a general question (something you seemed to take exception to), thanks for your explanation but I want the one from the Spurs fan, not the Chelsea fan.
For the record, Dalglish had a poor year last year, I concede that, but you won't find a single Liverpool fan that would have swapped our dreadful last year for Roy. Uninspiring, clueless, moribund and quite simply my lowest point as a Liverpool fan. Results are one thing, what Roy was to our club went way beyond results.

Pity not all of it was from your fans. "Taken us as far he can", etc.

Allegedly sleeping with his ex team mates ex girlfriend = National hate figure, stripped of the England captaincy, booed at every ground since.
Having an 8 year affair with his brother's wife = Nothing to do with us really, and oh yeah, let's make you GB captain.
If you look as some of Terry's vocal critics - Joey Barton, Craig Bellemy for example, and Rio Ferdinand especially, what they have done in their careers has been far, far worse than what Terry has done.

We had low expectations because we had a poor squad, stripped even barer by injuries.
England went out undefeated. I think most pundits didn't think we'd make it out of the group.
Quote: Roddy B "As for AVB, I don't follow Spurs so I asked a general question (something you seemed to take exception to), thanks for your explanation but I want the one from the Spurs fan, not the Chelsea fan.'"
Whether a Chelsea fan, a Spurs fan, or a Martian, claiming that Spurs have a better team spirit than the Chelsea squad do is complete lunacy.

You hated him from the start, hated him while he was there and will always hate him.
Doesn't alter the fact that his record throughout his career deserves a degree of respect. He's a decent manager, definitely not worthy of Liverpool anywhere near their peak, but there's no way he deserves the stick that LFC fans give him.

The video proved that he should have.
The problem is that we don't have video refs, and no one (apart from very biased LFC fans) would have thought that Evans should have been sent off in real time.

I must admit, I've been guilty of that, but mainly through the negativity of some of his tactics.
I do confess though, I wonder where we might be without Moyes, and believe we could easily have slipped into the Championship and beyond, under other managers.
I think what is refreshing about this season (and the end of last), is that we are now actually playing some decent stuff....Moyes finally seems confident in allowing his side to play and not simply stifling the opposition, something which most of us have been crying out for him to do for many years.

| Having now seen the highlights, correct decision to send Shelvey off, he clearly went to injure Evans, Evans should have been booked. Was a penalty, shove in the back from Johnson. Great dive from Suarez too

Not seen the match but decided I'd watch a replay of the red card. Not sure how people can really see Evans' challenge as less deserving of punishment than Shelvey's. They were almost identical, both lunges and wild. However, what I really can't understand is the unbelievable ignorance towards Evans. You talk of Suarez's dive yet Evans' reaction really is up there with Busquets and the like. Don't think the tackle deserved a red, a yellow to both or red to both, but never one innocent, one completely guilty.

Evans won the ball, Shelvey went over the ball and into Evans leg.
Shelvey clearly made contact with Evans. The speed both players were going and the way they both dived in then it's not unreasonable to think he was hurt.
