I don't mind tubes to be fair but yes I get up at 10 ish and then fast forward through the crap bits, but I do enjoy the show, it gives me a chance to see some of the goals from other leagues as well

I saw the likes of Cahill playing superbly. It certainly wasn't a one man effort.

With his talent he can single-handedly change a game with that flash of brilliance but it certainly is no one-man effort to stop barca.

I thought Drogba had signed a 2 year deal with the Chinese side that Anelka is now player manager at ??

Damien Comolli lost his job as Liverpool’s director of football last week as the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, held him responsible for the failure of high profile, big-money signings such as Andy Carroll.

While Comolli publicly accepted his dismissal with good grace, saying he was “grateful” to have worked for Liverpool, friends of the Frenchman have told The Sweeper that he is privately “bitter and upset” about his departure.

Comolli feels that the American owners and manager Kenny Dalglish pushed him towards a transfer policy of targeting young British players even though he advised them that there was more value for money abroad.

For example, Comolli is believed to have been extremely interested in signing Juan Mata last summer from Valencia and received encouragement from the Spaniard’s representatives.

Dalglish was not so keen and the Reds instead signed an expensive compromise in Stewart Downing from Aston Villa for £20 million. The England winger is yet to score or provide an assist in the Premier League so far this season.

While Comolli accepts that he was happy to buy Downing, he believes that the restrictions placed upon him led to Liverpool signing average players who have underperformed this season as Dalglish’s side sit eighth in the league table.

There were a couple of success stories in Luis Suarez (£22.8m) and Jose Enrique (£6m) but Comolli was ultimately held accountable for the poor returns from Carroll (£35m), Downing (£20m), Jordan Henderson (£16m) and Charlie Adam (£7m).

The 49-year-old has now returned to France to spend time with his family - who never moved to Merseyside - and is keen for his next job to be with a Ligue 1 club due to the “family reasons” cited in the statement announcing his departure from Anfield.

Might be a goal article but there's a theme there, even Dalglish admitted the signings were his targets. Not that the cult of Dalglish will admit to it. So you keep clapping Glen, how about I put up the league table for you? Or better still Charlie Adam's grocery receipt with Andy Carroll's bar bill? Still be clapping then?

Be good to see Roy tomorrow, I'm sure the revisionists and hypocrites will all clap him whilst forgetting that Roy never had a run as bad as what we've endured under Dalglish smile

Only a handful more league games before the nightmare that is our manager gets the chop.

Add to that a team full of "legends" that refused to play for him much like the more recent AVB saga...
Roy was doomed from the beginning..

I don't think he will get the chop, even more so if we win the FA Cup.

On about the fact that none of the LFC players gave a ste under Hodgson, didnt excactly help did it. As soon as kenny took over they suddenly started bothering and results picked up, all hail king kenny.

My rather simplistic take on the Commoli issue was that it wasn't so much the players he signed as the prices that were paid. & it's been reported that Andy Carroll was Commolis suggestion. Indeed rumour has it that his opening offer for Carroll was £28m!!

However if this is all true, the question that needs to be asked is why was Commoli, effectively a head scout, doing the negotiations in the first place?! Lack of on hand leadership IMO.
