Guys, let it go. Rafa fluked one Champions League, spent a shitload of cash, failed to win a premier league and left at the end of what can only be described as a desperately bad season.

And now he's losing at Spurs.

I always maintained that that champions league win gave rafa more time than he otherwise might have had...

[ras el hanout]

It was a bad result for us for sure last night but I'm sure we'll still qualify. And even if we don't we can say that Rafa didn't have any money to spend in the summer.

We should have bought Bale. I said so at the time.

[redbloodcell]

I wouldn't blame whomever your manager was at the time, £10m was a high price for a kid and even Ferguson hesitated on spending it. That Southampton got relegated to League 1 and re-negotiated it down to £5m so they'd get the rest we owed right away wasn't something anyone could have foreseen.

Ferguson probably had awesome players at LB.

So is Director of Football Strategy a new position or is Comoli taking over from someone else?

New position it seems. Transfer overlord basically.

[redbloodcell]

Just pray he doesn't get Juande Ramos in as your new coach if Hodgson gets sacked!

Somebody has insinuated that Deschamps would be an obvious choice to work with Comoli. Makes some sense I suppose.

Ramos got a new job recently though I think so I'd hope we are safe enough for a while.

[redbloodcell]

Its a bit of an odd declaration, given the only link I can think of is they're both French.

You can bet your ass he'll dick whomever the manager is around if he doesn't like him though. It seems like revisionism of his time at Spurs is in vogue because we're playing well, people seem to forget that he screwed Jol about loads and was such a poor negotiator that Levy took over doing the deals himself.

[V3zna]

Tonight's expected team Reina, Johnson, Carra, Skrtel, Konchesky, Shelvey, Spearing, Poulsen, Jovanovic, Meireles, Ngog

/?

Hmm, Carragher. Does this mean he might not start on Sunday?

I'd prefer

Johnson - Soto - Skrtel - Konchesky

For Sunday

[Chewylegs]

Against Chelsea there is no way he will leave out Carragher as he is the most experienced. Unfortunately, in his present form, he'll get ripped apart again by Drogba!

I hope Torres is at least on the bench tonight, he still needs a confidence boost.

He gets ripped apart by Drogba when he's on top form!

I have to agree with that back four for Sunday and I wouldn't be surprised to see a midfield of

Maxi - Gerrard - Lucas - Kuyt

[Stig]

Off to Anfield in 30 mins Hopefully we'll get a score like last time I was there for a European game which we won against Porto 4-1

Last time I was there was a friendly against Atletico Madrid. Forlan scored to beat us 2-1

[Stig]

I'm here now and the Napoli fans have already been causing trouble. There's also large sections of the home stands with Napoli fans in.

[Chewylegs]

bad times, hope you enjoy the match and no more trouble happens. we need a big win tonight, roy was usual unconfident self in his interview

[dizogg]

Linda is fit.

[Chewylegs]

nice header from poulsen there.

[phresh]

Linda is fit.

Was just coming in to post that.

[Pikkewyn]

Back to being outpassed and played at home then.

We're awful. Napoli deserve the lead.

[dizogg]

To be fair we're a team in crisis and we're playing our second team, against a team who have good attacking players and are no joke in Italy. I dunno why anyone would expect us to win this.

[tenrou]

I think that Jonjo boy has a future, but where is he from with a name like Jonjo?

[dizogg]

He's a chemogyppo.

[Chewylegs]

why is it that a so called top 4 team, for the last season and a half, doesn't have a half decent striker on the bench?? Its beyond belief really!

[Pikkewyn]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I still expect us to win (or at least manage a controlled draw) at home, no matter who the opposition. I'm sick and tired of us playing like shitehawks.

Anyway, we're doing a bit better post-goal now.

[Chewylegs]

I swear Jovanovic was playing well and Poulsen was playing shit. Sooooooo, why not take the shit one off?

[Commander Jameson]

Great thinking by Stevie G! 1-1

[christaylor]

Great thinking by Stevie G! 1-1

Ha! the keeper looked like he was trying to claim that he had his hands on it! Lolz.

[Commander Jameson]

Gerrard penalty 2-1!

Gerrard 3-1!
