'Oh round the fields of Anfield road where once we watched the KING KENNY play Stevie Highway on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing of the glory round the fields of Anfield road'.......

Not quite right, but close.

It's:

All 'round, the fields of Anfield road,
Where once, we watched the King Kenny play (and could he play),
We had Heighway on the wing,
We had dreams and songs to sing,
of the glory, 'round the fields of Anfield road.

AAALLLLLLLLLLLLL ROUNDDDDDDDD......... ;)


Here is the full song and Here we are singing it



What happened to all the glory of years gone by? The team who won the CL 5 times hardly has the ability to keep possession of the ball anymore. I don't recognise LFC anymore. We had the spirit , we have the talent , we had the vibe but sadly all the energy and urge to win games is diminishing from our players these days.

What are you dribbling on about? 'These days', do you mean the last few games where we have have been out of form and have had important players missing.


The talent and skills are there but sadly the mind managing our team isn't. Last season rotation won us nothing yet Rafa still insists to stick to rotation even though it shatters the spirit, confidence and self esteem of our great players.

More crap. 2 La Liga's, 1 FA Cup, 3 European Trohpies and another European Cup final.... That's what Rafa and his rotation has done in the last 5 years.

Other teams rotate as much as us, and that's a fact. United only used a couple of less players last season and when you consider we used half the youth team in our last games, it works out less.

I think it's time Rafa took a last look at Anfield and does the decent thing and leave.

I doubt you've ever taken a real look at Anfield, but it's about time you left. You're not a supporter, your a kneejerk reactionary.

Our glory will return when Rafa goes !

That's a nerve, considering he is the one that has brought them back. You are in a long list of kneejerks that the club doesn't need supporting them.

I bet you weren't there those night Rafa masterminded wins against Chelsea, Juve, Bayer, AC Milan, Barca and I'll bet that you weren't there the night Stevie picked up the biggest prize in football in Istanbul, either.

Bet you weren't calling for his head then though. Oh no, just now after some very important players are out and we are in a run of poor form.... then you call for his head.

Rafa is a top coach and to take the club so far forward in just 3 years is brilliant. You sound like one of those Man Utd supporters that was calling for Alex Ferguson's head before he won his first title... they look a little silly now.
 
Don't know why Liverpool fans are moaning so much.

You are 4th in the Premiership, with a game in hand. Which if you win would take you to 3rd.

So you've had a few bad games in Europe and now it time for Raffa the Gaffa to go... some people are never happy!!!

God knows how you would cope if you supported Birmingham City (we really know how to suffer).


Oh and there is no need to mention 0-7,
 
It's just a handful of people that don't understand or don't want to understand what Rafa has achieved at this club and how far he has taken it forward.

Ok so we won FA cup and champions league since Rafa came but since he started the rotation experiment we have started to plummit and now we're hitting an all time low. The lack of confidence in our players (thanks to Rafa's rotation) is beginning to show and this is sending good vibes to the likes of Arsenal and Manks. E =mcsquared
Rafa x rotation = 0 Trophies
 
Clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal have reaped the benefits of sticking by their manager in the long term, even during spells when results haven’t been favourable. Benitez’s past record demonstrates he’s a good manager and he hasn’t lost those abilities overnight, and I think that getting rid now might not be the best move. While things might not be going brilliantly at the moment the manager at least deserves the chance to show he can turn things around.

He might not have achieved the holy grail of the league title, but then again neither has any other Liverpool manger for the best part of two decades. Two major domestic cups and the Champions League since 2004 isn’t that bad a return, you know...

However, he really could do with losing the beard. ;)

Started the rotation, did he got for something like his 1st 99 games without picking the same team?

Shows how much you know about the team and the manager, I guess. He has rotated for 6 years. Won massive amounts of trophies on a much tighter budget than his main rivals for domestic and european titles(Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, United, AC Milan) all using the rotation policy.

You can judge over a few games if you like, I'll judge over what he has won and how his teams have played for years.

This was posted by somone on a Liverpool forum today and was aimed at the same shortsighted argument that you are using.

The obvious answer to anyone who watches us regularly and knows ANYTHING about football is we desperately miss Alonso and Agger who are the best passers in our first chopice XI and dictate the pace and rhythm of our play. They've been missing since Portsmouth where they aggravated metatarsal injuries picked up on international duty. Couple this to the loss of Torres who is our world class outlet up front. The losses to injury of both Aurelio and Arbeloa cou0led with Agger had stripped our defence bare of all pace leaving us with a flat footed back four playing very deep. This has stretched our play with the attack/midfield/defence too far apart and it's nigh on impossible to play decent football in such circumstances as you inevitably tend to hit longer balls as you have fewer short options on.

Check out these posts, too.

Here and Here... read carefully.
 
Great win! Broke a few records then we did. :D:D:D

And the new stadium has got the green light from the council.
 
So, how long before Rafa is gone?

Benitez renews attack on owners

Benitez has refused to back down in his dispute with the owners
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has again risked the wrath of the club's American owners by openly questioning their transfer policy.
The Spaniard was told by club co-owner Tom Hicks to "quit talking about new players" after suggesting they were holding up his transfer plans.

But Benitez ignored that plea, saying: "They don't understand what the transfer window means in Europe. "They need to understand how difficult it is to sign players."

The rift between Benitez and Liverpool's American owners is now considered to be so deep that a report in Sunday's News of the World suggests the Spaniard will be sacked imminently, with Jose Mourinho in line to replace him.
 
I watched that interview and I didn't think he "attacked" the owners or even "renewed" it, all he did was explain the reasons about his previous statement.

I think he has done a lot of good for the club and should stay for a long time to come.


I'm off to the Porto game
 
Yeah I saw that interview too, it's being misrepresented so that the media can have a "rift" story to publish.

Benitez isn't going anywhere, the owners know a thing or two about sports management, and they know a winner when they see one.

As for Mourinho at Anfield.....?

No, just....... no.

It's funny to see him touted for every single job, wether it exists or not mind.
 
Good result against Porto in the end, Torres was great and Harry looked like he might actually be going to play some footie for us (provided his legs don;t fall off obviously).

We we nervous for 30 mins after the equaliser, but they folded after the second and the 4-1 was only slightly flattering against a good side.

It's up to us now.

Liverbird upon me chest!
 
I plan to go down to Hillsborough today to see the memorial. Whenever I go to a Liverpool game I always make a point to take a minute or two at the memorial there.
 
Today marks the 20 year anniversary.

Liverpool FC TV is available free today. Hopefully those in other countries will be able to view it online here.

The History channel is also showing some documentaries on the disaster later tonight.

The faces of the 96.

Twenty years ago today, thousands of Liverpool supporters made their way to Sheffield to watch their team take on Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final tie. As we all know, 96 of them never returned home.

Whatever team you support, please take a moment to remember them today.

Thanks for kind words
