OK, so where's the Benitez thread gone?
 
Anyone any idea's or am I just blind as I can't find it? Were people being naughty in it today or something?

nothing to do with this thread really but in the above pictures it kind of confirms that "dare i say it"wenger and fergie are actually starting to like each other!

Lee Reynolds Jan 10, 2009 06:47 PM

shit result

RWD_cossie_wil Jan 10, 2009 06:56 PM

stoke must be laughing, 2 draws against the prem leaders :wall:... Can't belive he played a 4-5-1, what was he scared of Stoke are not exactly known for being a massive counter-attacking team... Just hope for a draw tommorow now :sad:

Lee Reynolds Jan 10, 2009 06:59 PM

aye, liverpools story mate, DRAWS!

skeg Jan 10, 2009 07:09 PM

Cracking result and more than I expected from the awful negative team, Stoke but that's 2 draws now when we beat them 5-0 and 1-0 so not bad. Stoke could have won the game with that thumping bar and open goal too but then he does have ginger hair so he was never going to score. :cry:

Hope tomorrows ref doesn't buckle under Rafa's comments and this comment apparently from Liverpool's red and white kop site made me smile:


If we fail to win this sort of game, I dare say it's likely time to start congratulating Manchester United on becoming the most successful team in the history of English domestic football (their FA Cup advantage would, in all fairness, just about make that the case).
:top::banana:

Yes you are a God!! all bow down to master Rod and his infinite wisdom!

It was the players that were to blame out there, not Benitez!! we were very poor indeed but apart from Keane for Kuyt, i'd say the line up was pretty much cock on what i thought it would be.

We missed Alonso so bad!

I'm not too down though, We're still gonna be top going into the next round of fixtures and as long as we're still up there i'm a happy man!!

That was a big problem today and 2nd half against Preston. Lucas just cant take his place. Did not enjoy the match today :sad:

BRAMMER Jan 10, 2009 10:08 PM

After all that and they slip up against Stoke what a bunch of knob jockies :cry::cry:

Liverpool haven't got the legs, this will be tight to the end but they'll finish no higher than 3rd

Yep, did you see them a while back sat together doing an interview at those awards in their bow tie and suits and this what Arsene said recently: :cry:



Ferguson has criticised the League’s scheduling that has led to United playing a majority of games away following midweek Champions League games.

And Wenger agreed and urged the Premier League to discover a formula that is fairer to the top four involved in European games, and also those who lose a majority of their squad in international weeks.

“When I saw Ferguson’s case about fixtures, we checked - because we are always curious. And he has a case, and in this case so do we.

“If you take the international fixtures plus the Champions League, everybody has played ten games, six Champions League games and four internationals. And after those 10 games, we played eight away games and two at home.

“Manchester United played nine away games, Chelsea played six games at home and four away. And Liverpool played eight times at home and two away.

“You could argue the biggest disadvantage is not the Champions League but the international games when some of your players play a Wednesday night in Mexico and they cannot even play on Saturday if you kick-off early."

Traditionally the pair rarely see eye to eye and Wenger admitted that there was now more respect between the two.

“Maybe there is more respect, but in this case it’s not about respect,” said Wenger, “it’s a fixture problem. Maybe Liverpool had that disadvantage last year. Chelsea had that disadvantage a couple of years ago.

“I just think we should try to seek a better balance. It’s not a 100 per cent the explanation on why Liverpool are at the top; they have other qualities.”

As for a solution, Wenger added: "I would think the way to do it is if you play 10 games after Champions League or internationals then everybody plays five games at home and five away.

"But you have some teams playing eight or nine away and some teams playing eight at home, that is not really a fair competition.

"That is an unfair advantage and that explains a lot. In that case I stand alongside Ferguson."

I think they heavily respect each other but when Arsenal win the Prem again it will be back to normal.
