Iain who? exactly worst piece of garbage i have heard in my entire life? two european cup finals in the space of three years, how long did it take Sir PinkNosed ferguson to win his first european cup with united?? Ferguson didnt even win anything in his first five years at the helm?? Benitez broke the monopoly of Spanish La Liga (Barcelona, Real Madrid) with his Valencia side!
Liverpool over the last 5 years have beaten Juventus, AC Milan, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, Inter Milan, ALL EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS, FINALISTS!
Facts my boy not Bulls**t, like your article. you can claim to say without steven gerrard "Liverpool are a one man team" but rest assured with Ronaldo's 44 goals last season for man united they would've ended up Potless, so in RAFA'S WORDS, These are facts!

if any thing this proves that who ever wrote this article is racist as he clearly generalises both sets of supporters which is a racist trait

I agree he was always a defensive coach but the point he has simply become so entrenched in his 'holier than thou' single-minded beliefs, that there is no way back.

If Liverpool ever win the Premiership under his guidance then I'll take it back but it's never going to happen, even if Arab billionnaires pile money into the project.

You're poor attempt at a piece of creative writting.Is only made worse by you're complete contempt for the truth. Rafa did not become defensive because of Istanbul and nor is he defensively minded. This defensive phaze that we're currently in is just one of the stages of our pursuit of total football i.e Valancia under Benitez. Get you're facts straight first.

Nah, obviously the media are bias against Liverpool. If Mancheste United score in the last minute, the headlines would be Great tactics by Sir Alex, United fight to the end while it will be lucky Liverpool.

The Champions league final has nothing to do with Rafa's current tactics or his perceived treatment of his players. There isn't any link at all!

I was thoroughly impressed by Liverpool's performance against Pompey yesterday. They did a Manchester United and showed that they can play like potential champions. As I've mentioned before on this blog, the problem is consistency. If they can keep it going like that and pull victories out of the bag they'll be alright.

Cheers,
The Gaffer

There are only 4 teams in the PL with an odious stench, and all deserve to go down

Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool

1. He didn't say he would go to the police and try to make it a criminal matter. He said the 'relevent authorities'. Were he to send an email to the sponsors of the site, that would constitute the 'relevent authorities'.

2. Actually, there could be standing to sue, seeing as this is a published article accusing Spurs fans of being abusive racist, and homophbic. The law states that defamation can be targetted at an individual, business, product, group, government or nation. All Mr Montgomery would have to do would be to prove that he is a supporter of Spurs or is representing a group of Spurs supporters and he would have standing to sue.

YOUR end of the lesson.

I'm a Newcastle fan and hate Spurs and love to see them kicked when they are down (hey, we're used to it), but this article is pathetic. There are plenty of reasons to criticise both our once great clubs, but this guy seems to have picked the reasons that someone who knows nothing about football would have picked.

I have to disagree. I believe they would be good together. Their styles are a perfect match. But I wouldn't play them as a strick 4-4-2. I would have anlkea as a floating cf and Drogs as the target man. Anlkea is no good as a lone striker which he admits himself . He is more of the poacher and needs the space/gaps to operate which teams do not give him when they park the bus etc. Bring in Drogs who is excelent at holding up the ball and drawing defenders. That should provide Anekla the space and runs to operate off.
This extra threat means teams could not afford to sit on Drog in a attempt to close him (or Anlkea) down on the final 3rd pass. Which has been a masive problem for the blues and also provide drogs with a looser defence to muscule through.
They both have egos but Anelka wants this postion (or similar) so should stop the sulk. He disapears when he is put on the wing. Because he dosn't want to play there. I believe if anleka was proving fruitful in thsi role it would cause Droga to lift his game to remain the star blues striker.
I think Scolari also dosn't want to change formation because he knows his defence stragey is shit and dosen't want to lose the extra DM cover.

Haha, maybe as a Spurs fan I should write an article on which team would be more enjoyable to see in the Champion´s League. Aston Villa or Arsenal?
