Pointless stats comparing eras. The modern game has changed too much, the money influence means there is the well known gap between 'big four' and the rest in terms of spending. That may be redressed somewhat with Citeh spending and others splashing, but when you have a squad of £90m+ and your opponents squad cost a mere £20m then it's a pretty obvious advantage.

I bet Jimmy Rice patted himself on the back a few times thinking 'oh what a clever boy I am' when in fact he's done something fairly worthless, but some lap it up....................... The overused seven year fergie stat also ignores the change of eras, the fact that fergie didn't win the league BECAUSE it was the seventh season as some gormlessly seem to hope Rafa will, but because he spent a lot of money and landed the best player of the reigning Champions (Cantona), a very good player in Keane from Notts and one of the best keepers ever as well as other million pound signings or thereabouts like Irwin, Parker, Bruce, Pallister et al. We also spent loads, but the manager was Souness................... Instead of a £500k Schmeichel, we splashed £1m on James. Can't remember how much exactly we splashed on Saunders, but it was more than Cantona.

Mate your spelling is awful.

I'll back him because he's the manager, end of, even though he's frustrating me more and more by the week. The injuries and the decisions going against us just summed it up, but the Yossi substitution reeked of Reading 2007. It paid off for Rafa then, but Lyon are no Marseille and we had a full strength side then, whereas we are severely depleted now.

If Gerrard and Torres need surgery then we are severely screwed.

Full post from Brentie on RAWK

We can talk about the sending offs all we like but the truth is we were horribly :censored:

before then.

Absolutely no creativity at all during the game, one chance created all game (Benayoun hitting the bar), our goal coming from Torres creating something out of nothing.

Voronin, Kuyt and Benayoun were poor, the central midfield never got in and around the box. Once Torres went off, as there was nobody left to create a goal out of nothing, we lost it.

The injuries and the decisions going against us just summed it up, but the Yossi substitution reeked of Reading 2007. It paid off for Rafa then, but Lyon are no Marseille and we had a full strength side then, whereas we are severely depleted now.

Rafa the cat I call him, because I trully believe he has 7 lives. I dont no how many times I've worried about him leaving but can even he go on if we lose to Lyon? Out of Europe and the league before Bonfire night?

So many things are wrong with us at the moment, from the bad luck to our own failings. So many question marks around the side and the manager.

Last time we finished second, we went out at the group stage of the Champions League and completely fell off the wagon in the league. Unfortunately, we are not far from that now.
