Cascarino posted another shocking article today and I've been writing a few comments. I couldn't read it without saying something back. There's a united fan arguing with me now claiming that Rafa has spent a lot more than Fergie during his time at Liverpool
Great read, how do papers get away with printing such shite and why is it always about liverpool I hate this 2 man team crap, shock horror you take the 2 best players out of a team and it weakens them thats fairly insightful alright
And even if rafa has spent more than fergie in his time here, which i doubt. Our club has never sanctioned big 30m deals like utd board do, fergie had a 15 year head start on rafa to have youth set up scouting network etc in place and he had a championship winning team to start with which included rooney and rio so thats 60m worth of talent still playing in todays team that isnt included in those figures
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/liverpool/article6862139.ece This is the article. I've been going hammer and thongs with these pups all day. They're using Rafa's gross spend as a weapon against him. I'm sick of hearing this at this stage
Problems run as deep as the Mersey for worried Rafael BenÃtez Watching Liverpool labour to defeat against Chelsea on Sunday, I was struck by the similarities between Rafael BenÃtez’s side and the one fielded by Gérard Houllier during his final season at Anfield. That’s how far they’ve fallen in a short space of time and it is hard to see how anyone could envisage Steven Gerrard lifting the Barclays Premier League trophy next May. I make the Houllier analogy for several reasons. First, Liverpool are again relying far too much on a couple of top-class players because of a dearth of quality in their squad; second, there have been far too many players signed who are not of the required standard for a club of Liverpool’s stature and aspirations; third, they have developed a habit of conceding bad goals; and, finally, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious answer to put all of these problems right. If Liverpool were a club of immense wealth, all could potentially be corrected in the next transfer window. But we know that money is in short supply at Anfield and even if they were rolling in it, BenÃtez’s record in the transfer market does not inspire confidence that the right players could be recruited. It beggars belief that a club such as Liverpool, who target the Champions League and the Premier League every season, could go into a new campaign with just one frontline centre forward. Look at the attacking options available to Carlo Ancelotti, Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson. All BenÃtez has is Fernando Torres. Andriy Voronin is not good enough, there are still question marks over Ryan Babel’s ability at this level and David Ngog has hardly set the world alight. It is little wonder that at times this season, Torres has looked ridiculously isolated and increasingly frustrated at the lack of support he is being given. The big worry with Torres is that he doesn’t have to put up with this. He is a fantastic professional and has clearly settled in really well on Merseyside, but if Liverpool were to miss out on next season’s Champions League there would be a real chance of him walking away. Unlike Gerrard, whose heart belongs to the club, Torres could well be tempted elsewhere if his ambitions are not matched by his club. There are so many problems it is difficult to know where to begin. Their back four is the worst Liverpool have had for years and it’s no surprise that they are conceding so many goals, and bad goals at that. On the wings they lack penetration, while in attack they lack imagination. One thing that can be said without too much fear of contradiction is that there is something badly wrong at the top of the club. In their glory years, Liverpool always had a clear sense of direction. but no one could say the same now. They used to plan for longevity, not the flash-in-the-pan success that some of their rivals had. Houllier never built on the treble Liverpool won under his guidance in 2001. Now the concern must be that the Champions League won by BenÃtez’s team in 2005 will be the high watermark of his term instead of the catalyst for future success that it should have http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/liverpool/article6862139.ece heres this pile of sh*t for any one that cant access it....

I know! Didnt the "experts" predict Torres would be heading for Man City or Chelsea last summer cos we had no money and they had money to burn and would make it their main aim to get him? Oh and look, he's STILL a Liverpool player, funny that lol
Tomkins hits the nail on the head with regards to Cascarino, suprised Winter has had a go. Usually very complimentary of Rafa, probably influenced by the rest I suppose. Barrett should have a word in Cascarino's ear.
Tomkins lets himself down with that foul language and picture of a turd at the end of his article. Obviouly hit a serious nerve. I'm surprised he can't just laugh that off.
