Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

[ah_ray]

If I have to be honest I'm not too happy.

I don't like the first thing they do is to change the name of LFC to Liverpool Reds, I hope that in TV when I watch the score I won't see Liverpool Reds 2 - 1 Glasgow Rangers.

I'd like them just to help in the money stuff, but if If I've learnt something in this life is that nobody gives money for free and no interest. A new stadium has been the source of troubles for many clubs, I'm just a bit worried about all this, but I just rely on Parry and Moores, I'm sure they wouldn't let the club go to the bad path

Haha yup bro, I think Rafa scored an own goal with that remark but it has been blown out of proportion.

Rafa's English is still not the best and he tends to class the top 4 and the top European sides as "big teams" and everybody else as "small teams". I think had English been his first language he would have couched his intention in more careful words. I don't think Rafa was dismissing Evershit as a small club, but rather one of the also rans, a mid table side as opposed to one of the big guns.

Evershit are a big club but they are kidding themselves that they are one of the "big guns": they haven't been since 1989. I think Rafa didn't intend to slate Evershit as a club but rather point to their lack of ambition and current modest playing resources. In that he is correct, but I think he made a mistake in making any comment, as Evershit will blow it completely out of proportion. I haven't been on any Evershit websites lately but I have no doubt that Bluekipper will be burning effigies of the man and will have numerous members going on about they hate Fat Rafa Beneathus (hilariously ironic monicker)

LOL!! Agreed. That was a spanish expression lost in translation. Meaning that you can tell that to a Valencian that comes to your stadium to put the bus in the goal -- ie too defending

But that said, it's said normally to irritate the opposition.

Bro,

I think it was planned. Rafa knows about the rivalry between us and this season after beating us at theirs they came too ours and defended. This statement will cut them to the bone and next time they come to Anfield they will have the pressure of trying to ram rafa's words down his throat and come out and play football. When they start playing football we will beat them

Wah... dun say like dat lah... I have supported Liverpool during the glory days... pains me to see the club go through a slump like this... letting Arsenal, Man U and now Chelsea get all the honours...

[GhostFish]

Hiya all REDS fans!!!

Do we really care if Benitez has offended poor little Everton!

The very fact that they are acting as if they have won the Champions League because they took 4 points from 6 off us this term proves exactly what he said is right! They are a smaller team. Also their fans reaction to a draw when they expected to be hammered emphasises this even more

I don't know, we endure the least eventful derby for years and the Bluenoises STILL want to cause a ruck. Maybe it gives them a sense of importance and meaning, so let them hehe

Debts free, more cash to spare, Rafa can now solely focus on the EPL...

Maybe another Champion league suprise for us?

If beat Bac. think they stand a very gd chance.
I do have a funny feeling that they might just be one of the two finalist.

Hi all, me a liverpool fan for the past 28 years since i was 5. Inheritance passed down from my dad. Now trying to teach my 3.5 yr old daughter to love liverpool. She recognise my beloved logo already.

When shopping and passed by addidas shop, she will go... "LOOK DAD! Liverpool!!! Your FAVOURITE!" Wahahahahaa. It runs in the family.

After the takeover, lets see some exciting signings next season. Huteelar will be good. Alves should come too. Read some rumours in liverpool forum that rafa may go for torres in the summer to compete with manure and chelshit. Well, im not too sure about that. His goals to appearances ration have been poor.

YNWA!!!

For me, this point is correct. Born in the wrong era wat, wat to do?

Dun like dat say lah bro. To me, this point is NOT correct. One should never equate one's love for LFC with what he feels about what the manager has to say. To love LFC doesn't mean you have to agree with whatever the manager has to say. You mean just becos you love LFC, and the manager talk rubbish, you must clap hand, pat his back and say Well Done meh? If you love your wife, does it mean you have to agree with everything she says?

For the record, I have been a true blue LFC fan from the day I understand how to play and watch football. Granted not too good in LFC history (cos haven't lived long enuf mah) and stuff like dat, but doesn't mean the love is not deeply rooted lah. In success and defeat, I stand by LFC.

Cheers

Never mind ... think we are from different planets.
Fact remains that the manager did not talk rubbish, so he cannot be credited for "belittling any club"
For example, did any Sillyporean took offence when we got called "that little red dot"?? ...

Aiyah bros why so much focus on one small comment. Personally I feel that if you look at Rafa as a manager and what he says overall, he is a reasonable, low-key person who values integrity, professionalism and never asks his players to cheat. One throwaway comment doesn't make or break him. In any case, it's only true that Evershite are shite.
