    Liverpool

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ol/8458296.stm

    Torres out for 6 weeks, Gerrard and Benayoun also out. It just keeps getting better for Liverpool. What odds on Birmingham City to finish above them?

    Yuck!!! Hopefully not...Villa however

    Also, potential pub quiz question for anyone who didnt watch the game lst nite. Which current EPL player has scored the most times against Liverpool?

    Let's be honest, the EPL product is definitely inferior to Spain and probably Italy from watching those leagues. In that regard it's vastly overrated.

    Been saying that this club will wither since the start of the season.

    I believe that once a London club wins the champions league for the first time, all new investment in the EPL will flow into the capital.

    Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal will dominate, I think Man U might fade, (City are protected as long as the Arab involvement continues) and Liverpool have already gone. A couple of years outside of the CL and their history will count for nothing with investors.

    Birmingham and Villa might just prosper in relation to the old industrial North of England giants.

    The EPL is touted as the best league in the world when in fact it's the best marketed league in the world. It all swings in roundabouts, in the early 90s it was all about the Italian game, after that the EPL has had a run at the top. The Spanish league has always generated interest but I feel it's their turn to be top of the tree.

    The only difference between EPL and Spain is it tends to be faster played all the way through the league.

    I think to suggest Liverpool have gone because of this terrible season is premature (maybe I just can't admit it). Admittedly I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet but we're far from gone and will still finish ahead of both Villa and Birmingham IMO. In fact I'll stick my neck out and predict a top four finish. I know.....This early morning drinking has to stop

    i can't see Liverpool finishing 4th

    City, Spurs & Villa will all fancy their chances at it. Liverpool are slowly but surely falling behind the other 3 of the big 4.

    Does anyone have the actual figure that Rafa has spent in his liverpool time. I would guess now its more than Mourinho spent in his time at Chelsea. All that money spent and only 2 world class players at the club, one of which was at the club already....not good enough

    Hes spent ridiculous sums of money, in the last 5 years hes spent more than Fergie I think.

    Just makes terrible signings, that seem to end up being sold off for less than what Pool paid for them. Liverpool fans can blame who they want, but its Rafas fault; poor signings and poor management in the EPL have cost them dearly.

    Walk on ya bass.

    A ***** season doth not maketh a ***** team. When the wee radge Raffa gets his marching orders and we see the end to this bizare/odd/stupid/plain ****ing radge rotational team selection policy, King Kenny comes back doon the stair and takes over, all will be cool again.

    Meanwhile, all ye detractors enjoy yer revelling. The mighty Anfield Reds have been far worse than this - I remember that ******** Souness almost running us into the ground and we come back.

    It will take some time but make no mistake, all the life long "fans" (GLORY HUNTERS) of the likes of Man Ure, Chelski etc will be greetin inte yer pints again in the not too distant.

    ...and meanwhile, the mighty Man Ure are precisely where in the FA Cup with lower league opposition doing what?

    ENDOF

    Agreed.

    The sooner he ****s off, the better. There was much slating of Houlier - I recall his management and it wasn't poor at all. He won plenty and didn't come across as a prick either.

    Raffa, yes, ye win the big one but now, please, **** off and join fat Boab Williamson at the Odeon as yer entertainment policy doon Anfield is ***** son.

    Poor financial situation - unless a sale is forthcoming.

    Poor ground situation - no means to increase capacity without new ground (new debt)

    Poor squad - poor manager - poor prospects this season and best players Stevie G and Torres could elave without a CL place.

    I think Liverpool are, sadly, set for a period of decline UNLESS Rafa and Gillette and Hicks go soonest

    i don't particulary enjoy seeing Liverpool in this state, a proud history and arguably the most famous club in the world. I would still say that they are behind the other 3 of the big 4 at the moment. Things will only improve once rafa is gone and Anfield is updated, the revenue lost to Liverpool from the corporate side of things needs to be sorted ASAP.

    PS didn't liverpool go out to reading?
