Just looked at the table and we are 6th I know we would all prefrably in the top 3, and to be honest 6th isnt as bad as it seems, it only seems worse cause the bluenoses are above us, but they play once a week and havent had an injury a settled side no changes, once the changes come in and injuries occur they will start losing points.

Dont forget we are still in the 4 cups, and when I think back to last year when our first team had to play Yeovil town we was not confident of a win remember.
But Rafa has played the youth in the carling cup something Houllier or former managers would never do.


I dont know how Liverpool approached him to ask him to come to anfield to be our manager I believe he had been to anfield twice and experienced a fantastic atmosphere even though his team left us standing Valencia.

My point is the mans no idiot he came to us knowing that Roman Ambramovich had took over chelsea with a bank account as big as the Aristotle Onassis and could buy any player he wanted he would know that Jose Mourinho was going to be there new manager, he would know that Arsene wengers Arsenal are a team full of fantastic players and full of talent, even though I hate to say it United have some talent :glare: Ronaldo, Rooney, Ferdinand, so he knew that the job being offered to him was not going to be a stroll in the park.
Then he must have thought what players he had in the Liverpool team in the job he was about to take over Michael Owen, steven Gerrard, Sami Hyppia, Didi Hamman I suppose would have been really the only players that he knew would be usefull to him I didnt include the other players as they dont really get much press.

So what made him join us he had won La Liga twice with his Valencia side beat the best oppostion on spanish soil Real Madrid and Barcalona, he had a very organised team very good professional players in a complete unit.

I know he had a lot of problems with the board there they where never satisfied and would not give him money to spend on players and missed a few payments of his own salary.
I suppose what im trying to say the job he took on was more greater than any one could imagine from being successfull on the continent and then uprooting your family, a big culture shock, the language trying to teach an old dog new tricks from the Houllier era it is all round upheavell for him.

Realistickly we are looking at at least 2 years for us to be challenging for top honours the only player I see still being with us then is Carra, the rest will be gone so he can mould the team he wants, by then the likes of Henry, Vierra, will have a few more mileage added on hopefully .
Roman will hopefully get bored and go into formula one or get arested by the authorities for money Laundering and drug dealing :D .

Then we have the scum fergie will be a pensioner david Moyes will take over but no experience in europe will be the end of manure, and they will play like everton and everyone will be bored and wont bother watching them and they will get no press like everton
:sleepy:

So we have the five year plan we have a very good chance of getting further in the Champions League if our away form has improved by then hopefully, a few new players in defence and forwards sorted out we have 2 months for that and we have very good players who have potential but need to start showing it more, its not only new for the boss its new for everyone involved even the fans.

I am very glad that Rafa came to us, I think hes the right man to bring back the glory days after january we will see more changes and in september even more, when you support a team all your life you only want whats best and if we can win one or 2 cups this season, I for one will be very happy, but for top honours we will have to face the ups and downs that lie ahead of us hopefully most of the downs have passed, and now its time that things turned around for us.

Someones been looking down on us for years with bad luck its about time that person looked down on someone else.

YNWA
:love:

Ciss,
Please don't put yourself down with this 'intelligence' rubbish.
You always manage to get your point across, and your heart is in the right place.  Heart is more important than perceived 'intelligence' or a way with words, anytime.
Good on yer gal.  Supporters like you deserve a winning team.
p.s.  I wish someone would teach me how to get my head around displaying graphics like yours.  The best I can do is "Merry Christmas"
