Any news on Aldo ?
Click to expand...

Sat in a puddle of piss in his back garden, refusing to go back into the house till his tart has washed and dried his RS pyjamas and duvet.

Times are hard for the Aldi Rush at the moment, his beloved tunnel rats relegated, RS top 4 and FA cup dreams shot down in the space of a few weeks.

It won't be long before he's accusing someone of singing Hillsbrough songs, or defacing the memorial, that's what he usually does to deflect attention when people are laughing at the RS.

Dear Mario,
In this crazy world we live in, someone you've never heard of or will probably never meet, feels, as a Liverpool fan, that its ok to write to you on an internet page to say welcome. But here I am, and there you are, somewhere, preparing for the Spurs game today.

But I'm writing this with real meaning when I say welcome, because you are now at a club that is different, and a club where the fans genuinely care about their team. Now I'm quite sure every fan of any team would say that, but at Liverpool, you're not just a player, you a Liverpool player and that means you're part of our family. You are now one of us, and you are now family (you're welcome round for tea anytime mate).

Welcome to a bond with a set of fans that will not just sing your name, but look out for you, welcome to a ground where the feeling is different, a sense of history, family and warmth, of times shared and where the outside world and press are invited in but never truly part of it, welcome to a place, a sense of place, a culture that sets us apart from the rest of them.

I've read about your upbringing, it must be very odd to have your everyday shared with millions, your history available for analysis and comment by strangers, and then to be called 'crazy' by these people who haven't a clue. They are the crazy folk, they are the ones who think its ok to write about other people as if they are professional pyschologists, mind readers and judges of character. Not you.

Well, welcome to a club that sets apart from that world. Liverpool is a club that does it differently, where the emotions are heartfelt not invented, the flags are fabric not plastic and the noise deafeningly sincere.

Liverpool's great players have all been special, and different and gifted and marvellous to watch, and all of them acknowledge the club has a special place in their hearts. You are brilliant at your job, wonderful to watch, and you arriving here has made a lot of people excited. You have the gift of creating emotion in men's hearts, that's the real meaning of football, and I hope I speak for all Liverpool fans when I say, have the best time of your life here, have a great career and score lots of goals sure, but really, truly, have a great life whilst at our club.

In some ways, Mario, welcome home.

Brendan Rodgers sacks Liverpool FC

LIVERPOOL FC manager Brendan Rodgers has announced that he is sacking the club after yet another disappointing season.

The manager made his decision after the team’s abysmal 1-0 defeat to Hull City which condemns them to yet another season of European football on ITV4.

Rodgers had warned the club that if they dropped points against Hull they would face grave consequences.

In an official statement, he said: “I would like to place on record my thanks for all the hard work put in by Liverpool FC during their tenure under me.

“However, it has become clear that as they do not have the calibre required of a Brendan Rodgers club and it is with deep regret that I must let them go. I wish them all the best for the future.”

There were tearful scenes as the club cleared its desk, looked around Anfield for the last time and strode out into the car park to an uncertain future. It is thought that they might try their luck in the American MLS league as the Liverpool Lassoes.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City are among the frontrunners to take their place under Brendan Rodgers.

Rodgers said: “Clubs come and go. But there always has been Brendan Rodgers and there always will be. He always walks alone".

The daily mash just gets them don't they, I remember a time when every day there was a new Benitez article
 
I was reading an article by Stephen Hunt who would have been at Reading when Rogers was there. He made some observations about how his TV persona is quite different to how he remembers him and that type of stuff is hated by players - the two faced nature of it. Wouldnt take long to lose a dressing room like that.

Improved (hopefully) after a bit more thought

One year on from Saint Slippy's Day, The seanchaí Rodgers and his boss are discussing the upcoming game.

Brendan:

What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin, John Henry? No!! My fair cousin;
If I am mark’d to fail, we are enow
To see our team in loss; and if to win,
With fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, I wish not one man more (till next season).
By Jove, I am so covetous for silverware,
Nor care I who doth mention my net cost;
It yearns me not if men our replica shirts wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honours,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from Oslo.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, John, through our possession figures,
That he which hath no stomach for this fight,
Let him fly home; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his transfer fee;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Stevie.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Gerrard.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil taunt Blue neighbours,
(Those who say “To-morrow is Saint Slippy's Day.”)
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his tatts,
And say “These wounds I had upon this day.”
Old men forget; as Aldo shall forget,
But he’ll remember offsides and advantages,
What feats we did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words -
Stevie the King, Sturridge and Mignolet,
Lallana and Lambert, Ballotelli and Philippe -
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good Red teach his son;
And Stevie's Day shall ne’er slip by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered -
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he Uruguayan or vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Liverpool now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they weren't in Hull,
And hold small manhoods cheap while any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Stevie's day.

John Henry: Err, Yes Brendan. Is that Stevie Bruce then?

@TonyBarretTimes: Liverpool defender Jonathan Flanagan is facing between 6-9 months out after undergoing knee surgery.

Feel sorry for the lad, missing the best part of two seasons out of a short career is tough. He's out of contract in the summer as well so might not even have a club.
