Ridiculous when I hear that

They have no diea what financial limitations truly are

They've just spent the money they have poorly. If they bought the right players with that money, it wouldn't be an issue

1 = 20..

For every Luis there's a Carroll (Alice in Wonderland Reference, mad hatters..) and 19 other bad buys.
 

Funny thing in that is.

With that in mind, is Brendan Rodgers the man to take you there?

I believe so. The Rodgersification of Liverpool is, as said earlier, evolving and the end product does look tasty. For a club with global appeal yet limited financial clout, it is imperative that we have a coach who focuses on youth and is able to elevate what we currently have to a higher level.

And to an extent, Rodgers has delivered that. He has given youth a chance, and added several dimensions to our players' games (see Downing's improvement, Henderson's improvement and versatility, Gerrard's reinvention as a deep-lying midfielder) and has shown evidence of a tactical, thinking approach to the game. He has also shown the adaptability to fall back on route-1 defensive football when the situation calls for it, conceding possession yet holding on for the result.


He jibbed Downing off cause he wasn't good enough, he went from a total of 0 goals, 0 assists, to I think 2 and 1 . With improvement as meteoric as that, I reckon he'll be like Zidane by, ooh I dunno, 2352ad

Adrian Durham has opened his gob again

In April I wrote a column for MailOnline saying how Everton chairman Bill Kenwright’s speech at the Hillsborough memorial service had moved me to tears. In the article I talked of the togetherness on Merseyside, how the city of Liverpool will forever honour the 96 who died, and how true football fans stick together.
So given what I’d said back in April, I was surprised that last week’s column led to a few Everton fans accusing me of ignoring the part they’ve played in the justice campaign.

True football fans stick together

Here’s what happened: a few rival fans had read the headline of my column: 'Liverpool fans deserve the title…' and sent abusive tweets to me.
I know some people react to a headline without reading the full article, so I had expected some abuse from those who didn’t want Liverpool to win the title. But I felt the level of abuse was inappropriate given the fact the piece urged people to never forget those who died. When talking about Hillsborough I believe it’s important to stay respectful and always be measured.
So I suggested those fans who had been abusive – one said he wanted to run me over - spend some time at the memorial and read the names, with the hope that it might help them be less abusive in their tweets. Given what I wrote in April, it clearly wasn’t a message to all Everton fans, just to those using language and threats that I felt unnecessary as a reaction to a sensitive article about the tragedy.

The abuse ramped up, so did the hate, lies were then told about my reasons for even writing the piece.
I’ve no problem if people disagree with me, but hate and abuse and lies don’t belong in a discussion about the Hillsborough tragedy.
Especially lies. A malicious lie can cause serious damage. As we all know…
I will leave the final word to a man born on Merseyside who grew up supporting Everton, played for Liverpool and coaches at Liverpool FC. He texted me this last Tuesday: 'Fantastic piece in MailOnline today, nice one.

We're the bitter ones though.
 
If you are going to go on a wind up, let it be something that we can't really defend.

Empty cabinet?

We won the league, at Anfield, before they were concocted from the bowels of Hell ffs.
